I was sent this by a friend. Pretty eye opening...
The Democratic National Committee is currently conducting an internet poll
of Americans to determine the electability of Hillary Clinton
for the Presidency of the United States in 2004. If you would like to show
your support for Hillary and encourage her to run for President of the
United States in 2004, please enter the link below into your browser.

You might hate her, but she's one of the smartest people in the Senate.

As opposed to the affirmative action deferment most Repubs got?

Your source, please? Just curious, not pressing any point here...

She's intelligent, no doubt about it. That does not equate to wisdom. If you like Stephen King's novels you need to read some of Hillary's thoughts on government regulation of parental rights.
In 1979 she made the following statement: "Decisions about motherhood and abortion, schooling, cosmetic surgery, treatment of venereal disease, or employment, and others where the decision or lack of one will significantly affect the child's future should not be made unilaterally by parents."
Or this gem: "Now we can talk about reality, and I would like to talk about reality sometime, authentic reality, inauthentic reality, and what we have to do to accept what we see."
How about this argument for the right of children to sue or even divorce their parents: "I want to be a voice for America's children...advocating...the immediate abolition of the legal status of minority and the reversal of the legal presumption of the incompetence of minors in favor of a presumption of competence; the extention to children of all procedural rights guaranteed to adults; the rejection of the legal presumption of the identity of interests between parents and their children, and permission for competent children to assert those independent interests in the courts."
"Ironically, reaction against state intervention in cases of nonphysical abuse is consistent with consensus romanticism about the family."
Hungry for more? This should satisfy your craving: "Certain myths...serve only to inhibit the development of a realistic family policy in this country: the myth of the housewife whose life centers only on her home and...the myth, or perhaps more accurately, the prejudice, that each family should be self-sufficient."
"We need to forge a new consensus about our political direction...that doesn't jerk us to the right, jerk us to the left, prey on our emotions, engender paranoia and insecurity...but instead moves us forward together." Can you spell "VAST RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY?"
More on government benevolence in the arena of child protection: "A common complaint about the exercise of discretion in neglect cases is that alien values, usually middle-class, are used to judge a family's child rearing practices. One way to answer that complaint is to entrust the discretion necessary for evaluating a child's needs to persons representing the milieu in which a family lives." In other words, middle-class values in child rearing are highly suspect. Comforting isn't it.
"Words have a funny way of trapping our minds on the way to our tongues." No kiddin'? They also have a way of revealing our minds to others.

I listened to the women speak before congress when the universal health care issue was up. She spoke extempraneously for several hours and not once did I hear an ...uh, a mispronounciation, a faltering in her delivery of her thought, any flaw in her, not one. Was one of the most amazing performances I have seen. She is in deed intelligent .

Perhaps abused children should have some legal rights for starters.

I posted this as a joke, no I see the truth of it.

Hillary once visited my school in south Arkansas. She and I talked at some length on early childhood education. She is quite intelligent. Yet, I firmly believe her notions on government intervention in the area of parental authority are blatantly intrusive, and more than a little scarey. The statements I presented above also reveal that she has an unhealthy disdain of middle-class values. I could have presented much more, on other subjects, but I did not have the time. She is a classic nanny.

I'd hit it.

Her health care attack plan scared the hell out of me :eek: (http://brainstrain.users3.50megs.com/HILLARYMOVINGEYES.gif)

Sandman, you'd hit whatever it was, if it slowed down to a walk... I think you'd just roll them in flour and hit the wet spots :) ... doesn't matter what they look like obviously...
-
to be fair, a lot of the crazy stuff she said about child welfare, she said when acting as attorney for a child's rights organization & good council will ernestly say absurd things that they do not agree with if it is in the interest of the client (you dont thing shrewd lawyer johnnie €°˘kringh actually believed "if the glove doesn not fit...")
as for who'd hit what...its almost definite hillary is either unwilling or no good w/ her mouth & downstairs - bill has been there. i'd stay away...
-
She should run in 2004 as the current flock of Dems lack any kind of excitement and will be easily defeated by GWB. I think she will be the only one who can get away with running in the center during the primaries and right of center in the general and still hold the Dem base.
Perhaps whoever wins the Dem nomination will step aside for her just like The Torch did for the good of the party!
Who knows, it's going to be interesting to say the least:)

maybe dennis thatcher can teach bill c how to bake cookies

But what's really good is boy she'd sure piss off the rednecks
Hahahahah!
And she'd still have that patirot act thing..

She's unelectable. Hillary could run as a middle-of-the-road candidate, but who would believe it? Left-of-center is where her heart is, and the whole country knows it. Indeed, considerably further left than hubby Bill, or any recent presidential candidate.

I don't even think she should be allowed to vote.
Voting for her to "piss off the rednecks" is classic cutting off your nose stuff.

I for one hopes "it takes a village idiot" gets the nod from the dumbacrats - it'd be fun to watch them go down in flames in 04 just as they did in 02 :)

Intellect and Common Sense rarely break bread together.

Besides, has she ever eaten turnip greens and cornbread? Has she?! Has she ever scalded a hog? Or skinned a deer? Or drawn her water from a deep-well? Did she grow up in a clapboard house between a cotton field and a gravel road? DID SHE?!
Can she tie a fishing hook on a line? Or bait a trot-line? Or sight in a rifle? Can she? Can she drive a tractor and pull a disc?
How normal can she possibly be?

Gates, my man, when it comes to being left of center Hillary could teach ole Ralph a thing or two.
