Hillary

Well, Michael, I certainly agree with you re intelligent women. But you may not know that Hillary Clinton is an egomaniac, just like her husband, "Goat Boy" Bubba. Check your facts re recent history, and please don't include this phony, phony female in the pantheon of remarkable women of the 20th century!Many of us have highly paid, intelligent wives, sisters, daughters in our families, and this fool is a disgrace to the female gender. Equal means identical, or able to do the same job, she's just phony.

Vice President Hillary

I am from another country but I am a proud American citizen now. I am constantly shocked and ashamed at how men in America are afraid of strong, intelligent women. I tell my daughters in America everyone can be anything they want to be, but they see girls and women put down everyday in school and on television. And boys being dumb bullies. All your polititians, men and women, play the game to get where they are. That is your politics. When Hillary plays it as good as the boys, the boys become angry. Many women too fear strong women like Hillary, because women know they are in many ways much stronger than men, and they have not been doing their jobs either to raise strong, intelligent daughters, and to raise strong intelligent sons. So Hillary embarasses them and they become angry. Our country is very great, but we the people, do not yet measure up to its great potential.

Said it before, will say it again. How stupid can American women be? Answer, very stupid, if they believe that Hillary is a viable representative! She tolerated Bubba's sexual escapades, is a criminal( ie. Whitewater), and only stayed with him after Monicagate to get into the White House. Come on, ladies, would YOU tolerate that from YOUR husband. Chances are, divorce would be forthcoming. Oh yeah, as a New Yorker, I know that she/he carpetbagged their way into my state, and she has done NOTHING to help us legislatively. Let's here any logical rebuttals..

Clintons Ceding Spotlight to Obama

The Clintons are probably the best politicians that this country has ever produced. That being a given, they made some terrible blunders this campaign season, the biggest being underestimating Obama. Hillary could bring a lot of things to the democratic ticket, some of them not good. Let's face it Bill is baggage, but the dems can't win without her.

Bill and Hillary Clinton are not in the news because they want to be. They are politicians who are idolized and revered in this country and around the world.

That’s why they constantly make news – whether they want to or not.
