just curious

I agree with Scarlett.

I'm sure hoping that after the former 8 years of the Clinton's debacle in the "Logic-free Zone", that
they'll just stick to hosting "SNL" - if ever invited again.

We need real leaders now!

All I can say is I would not vote for her.

OMG We don't need another Clinton in the Whitehouse.

Barb

I hope not ! Can you imagine that woman running the country? *shudders*

But she speaks in sentences and looks nice on TV, that's got to be an improvement, right?

*Rimmer ducks and runs for cover*

No need to duck and run.

But.... I think that you need to adjust your tele. (sp)
Because something is definantly out of whack.
Maybe you should just get a new one. I think after what you said, it is a lost cause.

No need to worry. Condie is going to be the first women President.

Clinton for Pres???


NO!

Michael Lewinski

She'd pardon Bin Laden

I just scared myself

Oh yeah! Leather boots!

*Thinks* Am I lowering the tone of this thread?

Now your talking! I love her!

The clintons again? No way...

I hope we have some good candidates before the vote because I see no one I want to vote for....

John Kerry was bad enough. If I have to put up with Hillary next I'll pull out the rest of my hair. Dr. Rice would get my vote for sure. And besides, Condi is cool and Clinton is a wanna be cool...
Hows the cows CGM?

Condi for president? Hrm.... That does sound interesting ! Better than Mrs. Clinton, at any rate.

The more I think of a future President Hillary
The more I wish her placed in a pillory.
Her hubby as first lady?
Not even a maybe.
But the more I think of Condoleezza Rice
I'm convinced her presidency would be nice.
In fact, TWICE!

Bravo! jgweed Bravo!

*cheers* Nice, jgweed...very nice!

I'm surprised. I got the impression the general political bent of those on BC was liberal. This thread is an eye-opener.

I agree, Condi for Pres!

Cows are fine lol..
edit....

I agree Condi is one smart lady, but she said she would rather be Commisioner of the NFL.

Barb

NFL Commissioner salary: 6.4 million (2003)
President of the US: 400,000 plus $50,000 non-taxable expense allowance (2001).
Can't really blame Dr. Rice.

John

I wouldn't mind having a lady president. However if and when it happens I hope it is someone that everyone can agree on. Unless we get only woman canidates for presidents...

A woman president would be fine. I would expect her to follow the highest standards as set by her male predecessors. Er... emmm I would expect her to uphold the standards of our congressmen/women... hmmm...

If she is the best candidate, and projects strength in leadership, can be compassionate to those who need it and can understand how to balance a checkbook, she has my vote. Hilary is still a no.



Rigel

I wonder how will she clean the mess that Bush left, or will she?

Dare to Dream! It won't happen. Dems would roast her as a racist

Definitely a fantastic choice, but let's face it...she's too good. Dem's would send up a firestorm of protest.

I would love to see her run just for the debates. Remember Margaret Thatcher. Iron balls Maggie. It would be a howl. Not one of those pea brains could get the best of Dr. Rice.

That would be a fantastic roast to watch. I would love to watchTed Kennedy and the other morons squirming in their shorts after realizing how completely outgunned they are in a battle of the wits.

A battle of the wits between Dr Rice and her opponents simply wouldn't be a fair fight because her opponents are unarmed(in terms of wits).

I had to add that side note in parens in case any Dr. Rice opponents are paying attention

Another Clinton in the White House = never going to happen

I would never vote here her if my life depended on it!

Not everything about the Clinton presidency was bad. Keep in mind that when Clinton left, we had the largest budget surplus... EVER. By the end of Bush's first year in office, he had spent more than double that... 5.5 trillion dollars.

I can't say whether or not I would vote for Hilary because I don't know where she stands on many issues. I don't mean to cause any offense, but it seems like some people are blaming Hilary for Bill's mistakes.

I took a speach class while Billary was in office. My assignments included analyzing a couple of recent speeches. One By Hilary, one by Liz Dole. Liz Dole is intelligent, witty, and not radical. Hilary's speech at the time was radical, ignorant of the sistuation in the part of the world she was giving the speech in, and peddling to the lowest common denominator. I actually remember her using the phrase "fast food chefs", back when I was just such a "chef".

Radical, Dangerous trailer trash. Listen to some of her speeches.

I don't think Hilary Clinton is what the public really wants and I don't think she is not qualified. She may have been in the white house and she probably knows how things run there more than 99% of Americans do. However I don't think she will be the first woman president.

Condi on the other hand, I think would be quilfied and possibly might win an election. However, not being reacist here, I think there would probably be a white woman in office before a black woman in office. Because once Americans realize that a president doesn't have to be a white male president, then I think Americans will slowly open up.

A) I would never vote for hillary!

B ) I would vote for rice over hillary

C)clinton did not have to deal with 9/11 and the iraq issue he had easier budget plan then having to deal with terrorist

Ok, so this is geting a little off topic but...

By the time 9/11 happened, Bush had already spent the budget surplus left by Clinton plus about a trillion dollars. Also, I was referring to what Bush spent in his first year in office. Iraq didn't start until Bush's 3rd year in office.

You do realize the economy had fallen into recession 3 months before Bush took office, right?

Does anyone feel that she has the support within the Democratic party to run?

Don't think she will get thier support. She is a loose cannon. I don't think they can control her, and they know it.

I realize this, and what did Bush do to stop that recession?

I don't think Hilary has the support from the Dems to win. And after reading more of her opinions, I don't think I would vote for her. But that doesn't mean she shouldn't give it a shot.

Slick Willie as first man.

haha! I saod no who said yes? Must be some big fan...

Someone probably just said yes, just to be different.

Ok, not that I am particularly looking forward to the day that a woman becomes president, but here is how I see it.

First, the world isnt ready for a woman to be at the helm of the worlds biggest superpower. The biggest area of tension in the world is the middle east. You can only imagine the fallout if a woman were in charge.

Second, for the possibility of a woman president any time in the next century, the first woman candidate needs to be someone who can win. If the first woman to run gets her butt kicked, that will discourage other women from running and people from voting for women in the future.

So no, not only would I not vote for Hillary, but I would hate to see her run in the first place.

Hilary (or Condi or whoever else) would not be the first female candidate. There were actually quite a few in the past;

Women Presidential Candidates

Some of those listed above were not running in the US, and most of them running in the US never made it past the primaries. But they tried none the less, and that's what really matters. I think it'd be great to have more female leaders in the world, then we could get past all of this "male sexual organ" envy and work towards common goals, like world peace and an end to poverty.

Note; I had to type "male sexual organ" because when I type the "P" word it shows up as "bleep".

I don't think world peace is going to happen any time in our life time. With S. KOrea and N. Korea mad at each other and many other countries ripping at each other it will never happen. Hilary would also be a bad choice because in 2008 there is still a large chance that we will have large military action going on in the middle east and with a president with no or little military experience, that would be BAD!

Wow. I thought the pole would be decently balanced... guess not. I wouldn't want her there either.

Aren't we in that situation with Bush now? *zing*

I really don't see Hillary as president for the simple fact that the US won't vote for a female/ethnic president for quite some time. Even if she were to run, there are a multitude of reasons why people won't vote for her, not just because she isn't qualified.

There was a New York Times poll (i think...) that asked americans about their election opinions. I think around 40% wouldn't vote for a well-qualified Arab candidate (even if born in the US), and around 60% wouldn't vote for a well-qualified atheist candidate.

Just goes to show that the possible presidential quality someone has doesn't have nearly the impact of what it should.

EDIT: That being said, i really hope Hillary isn't our next president. I seriously doubt she's anywhere near qualified, and the sheer fact that she's married to Bill would split our country apart even more than it is now.

hah..who knows..it'll be a change if she ever does become president..i wouldnt care..im 13..the U.S is goin bankrupt..ahha our country just blows
