The Repubs don't have an actual reason to hate Hillary anyways especially before she started running for President and here likability is currently on the rise now that everyone is realizing it.
Republicans don't have an actual reason to hate Hillary?

Are you serious?

1) The FBI files of political opponents found in her office--that alone scares the spit out of me. She has no compunction about using any information she has politically. Judicial Watch
2) The whole travelgate scandal.


She is getting more likeable. That's because people are forgetting her true and utter ruthlessness.

Personally, I hope Obama gets the nomination. I would much rather live under President Obama, than another President Clinton. Obama at least seems to be honest.

Please tell me what this woman stands for ? What does she hope to accomplish as president ? Know who she first canvassed for as a college freshman ? Barry Goldwater. How is that for a died in the wool progressive. She is another corporatist shill. Taking money from the Health Insurance lobbies. We can forget about any meaningful health care reform if she is in office, if congress does pass it, she will veto it.

What about Obama ? I know, I know, he's against the war. Go get em tiger. So's about 70% of the US population right now. He has charisma ? Jesse and Al got more charisma in their little pinky. To me he comes off as very pompous and self righteous, very uuhhh..midwestern. Even a lot of blacks don't like him, don't blame Them. Again, no concrete or detailed plans as to what he is going to do as Pres.

Edwards ? the only one who openly supports the little guy, and is detailed and concrete in his views. But Jeezz guy, get a haircut that doesn't make you look like Paul McCartney and maybe take some steroids !

The Republicans ? Champions of the rich and powerful, the poor little dears, they need someone in the White House to champion their rights.

My prediction. Thompson wins it by a nose, the Dems take a few congressional seats. Same old same old.

Welcome to the forum Petey. Where abouts in the south are you from?

By "working girl" do you mean prostitutes?

My prediction is Hillary Vrs. Thompson, with Ron Paul running as an independant or Libertarian.

For areal twist, how about Paul running with Dennis K on an antiwar platform?

Ron Paul is not just anti-war, dogmaphobe. And Kucinich is too much of a socialist for Paul to choose. Honestly, I can't see a running mate for Paul that is currently in politics. I think it'll be Lew Rockwell if Paul gets the nod. They've been friends for nearly 45 years.

Big Bro
The only "it" Thompson will win by a nose is the GOP nomination for president. Like it or not, HRC (simply known Hillary) is destined to become the very next president of these United States.

What does she stand for? For the sake of brevity, I won't explore that issue in it's entirety here. Suffice it to say that she represents the most radical departure from the most wretched administration in the history of this great country.

The collateral consequences of her presidency would elicit the most compelling storylines in the history of Amercan politics:
  • Like the 2nd. Bush administration, we'd have the 2nd. Clinton administration. A tale of two "dynasties."
  • The first female proverbial "Leader of the Free World."
  • Bill Clinton would be the first former president to become "First Gentleman."
  • Hillary Clinton would become the first former first lady to become president.
  • In pop culture, the First Couple could be referred to as "Billary" this time around (eat your heart out Brangelina and Tomkat).
I could go on, but for the sake of brevity...
