Do you think Hillary Clinton would make a good President? If so, why?

Amen

Perhaps we could argue that while Obama 1 was mostly about color, that Obama 2 is a bit different. Mitt Romney hung himself on 2 counts. The first and most obvious was not going after Benghazi with more zeal. However even that may not have mattered. What hung Romney was his use of TWO WORDS ... Personal Responsibility. Apparently 50.1 % or more of voting Americans only seek maximum personal government cheese, and will vote for whomever is perceived to pass out the most cheese. These mice do not care about all of the issues some folks want to hang Hillary on. The simple majority have perhaps become the More Cheese Please folks. Perhaps all of them are less than "American" or that this very term has lost its meaning. I hope I am wrong, but I believe she has the BEST chance of winning this upcoming term, and I might go as far as to say it might become a miracle if Democrats ever lose again at all...not because of any merit, but simply because of what I've laid out above. Democrats may even have a higher breeding rate, which solidifies my longer-term stance.

That said, there are still the Real Power folks manipulating all of this. Romney was likely tipped to NOT pursue Benghazi, etc.

I like Goofy also, he is accident prone just enough to put this country back on track. Good Call Charles.

Goofy is perfect for the job!

Goofy 2016!

Sorry all, I saw this and thought of this thread.

10 things that I trust more than Hillary Clinton:
Mexican Tap water
A rattlesnake with a pet me sign
OJ Simpson showing me his knife collection
An elevator ride with Ray Rice
Taking pills offered by Bill Cosby
Michael Jackson's doctor
An Obama nuclear deal with Iran
A Palestinian on a motorcycle
Gas station sushi
A Jimmy Carter economic plan
A Brian Williams news report
Obama's so called birth certificate
Loch Ness monster sightings
Prayers for peace from Al Sharpton

Cpl Brett Wagner and Cpl (Join to see) I also pray Kirk is correct, however, with the offerings the GOP has presented as a potential candidate, I think they are trying to throw the election to insure Hillary wins.

LCpl Steve Wininger After this last week, it looks like Hillary may not be the choice for the left, it may be Elizabeth Warren who is further left of Hillary. Watch the PACS and follow the money.

Cpl (Join to see) Just as bad as Hillary, but just as bad, it still looks like the GOP is trying to throw the election. I mean, come on, there has to be more potential candidates than the three stooges I have been mentioned.

The problem I see, is the GOP is willing to throw an election rather than a conservative with a pair and a spine win, it ruins the left/right monopoly in Washington.

Cpl Kirk Sian "All they have to do is read..." is almost like saying "If people were law-abiding, we wouldn't need courts. What percentage of the "More Cheese Please" group are going to WANT to read any such thing? What percentage of them CAN read at all? That answer may not be at Zero, but it sure isn't at 100, either.

can you give an example of her financial ineptitude?

they are unable to give any examples Sir...as they only parrot others lies and deceptions. I will say that their voices may be irritating but her messages are SOLID straight laced Constitutional values.

Actually Sgt S.P. Woodke and Lt Ahmed Faried, did you not hear Hillary stating that "We were flat broke when we left the White House"? If they couldn't manage their $200K a year budget once while in office, I wouldn't want to try it again a second time. And I wouldn't want/trust them to open the tax payer's check book to balance the budget.

The thing is in trying to curry favor with public opinion she made that statement. They are millionaires many times over. I don't know why she felt the need to say that. Being poor or rich won't change the opinions of those who hate or love her. Politicians have this clinical need to be loved and they sometimes say ridiculous things. Not unlike Jeb Bush putting himself as Hispanic on a voter registration form.

Chief, I'm hoping for a Santorum presidency with a Walker or Palin.. I'm from just South of Huntsville and believe they would do a lot of good for that area.

I could see that ticket being successful and I would most likely vote for it. Always looking for a team that will be good for the country.

LTC West is not soft enough for the bleeding hearts that are voting these days. I would love to see him in the Oval Office getting things taken care of like they should be but realistically/unfortunately, I don't see it happening. I only pray that I am wrong.

I am looking for anyone that will get our great nation off of the path that we are currently on. I believe that she will (if elected) continue down it, only making things worse.

Could not agree with you more.

Agreed, what we need is a true conservative who loves this country. Someone who is willing to make our military stronger and the rest of the government smaller. Let the states run the majority of the daily business and the fed takes care of the big stuff and that does not mean regulating everything in the country.

PO2 Christopher Morehouse Speaking of Lincoln and signing statements - the Emancipation proclamation was quite a doozy. Not to mention that Lincoln actually suspended Habeas corpus. Saying that Obama is the "worst president ever" for these types of actions is ignoring a lot of history.

The man who drafted the Patriot Act, Jim Sensenbrenner, lamented that it was never meant to be used in the manner it has been used. Obama criticized President Bush for enacting it, and then took things to an entire new level where they were never intended. Par for the course. Abuse the public, blame it on Republicans, wash, rinse and repeat.

MAJ (Join to see) ... Lincoln did not make many friends when he shredded the Constitution and got us into the Civil War. Small wonder Obama likes to compare himself to Lincoln: both were relative unknowns, neither had much in the way of management skills or experience, as a lawyer Lincoln was viewed by his contemporaries as unremarkable, both are seen as shredding the Constitution and dictatorial in their style of leadership.

Dr. Lawrence Britt has examined the fascist regimes of Hitler (Germany), Mussolini (Italy), Franco (Spain), Suharto (Indonesia) and several Latin American regimes. Britt found 14 defining characteristics common to each: 1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism - Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays. 2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights - Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc. 3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause - The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc. 4. Supremacy of the Military - Even when there are widespread domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized. 5. Rampant Sexism - The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution. 6. Controlled Mass Media - Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common. 7. Obsession with National Security - Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses. 8. Religion and Government are Intertwined - Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions. 9. Corporate Power is Protected - The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite. 10. Labor Power is Suppressed - Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed. 11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts - Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked. 12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment - Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations. 13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption - Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders. 14. Fraudulent Elections - Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.

Actually if you look at Russia's current political climate, they are very conservative. Many businesses there push Russian Orthodox Christianity on their employees. Including one business that expects bible study from them. If you are of a different faith, such as jewish and choose not to participate, you'll be getting a pink slip. Actually Putin's Russia would be a conservative's dreamland.

The closest thing to hell without actually having gone there. Vets from all military actions (re: combat) will surely understand this sentiment.

SGT (Join to see) I would respectfully suggest that it is necessary to define the word "conservative" before one makes claims as to what is a "conservative's dreamland" (in Russia). There is nothing "Conservative" in the American Sense about forcing, or suppressing faith of any kind. American Conservatism has to do with wanting to preserve, or to "conserve" the principles upon which OUR country was founded. Namely, those ideas put forth in our Declaration of Independence, the Federalist/Anti-Federalist papers, our Constitution, and the works of our Framers and their contemporaries. So, when using the word "conservative" to describe the Russians, the term has little meaning, unless one takes the time to define what the Russians are trying to "conserve" or preserve.
Respectfully submitted.
