She got elected largely on the coattails of her corrupt and misogynistic husband.
I know, maybe she'll turn a budget surplus into a deficit, lie her way into an unnecessary war and then botch it, and leave office in the midst of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. Oh wait, that was some other guy, wasn't it?Hey, if Hillary is the best you guys can come up with, then I feel very sorry for you, and America.
Time will tell, but Obama and the way he has been a "black president" may likely have set back the possibility of a second black president several decades
However, after Herman Cain can an black conservative be blamed for remaining out of the "limelight"
that's just it..there are a couple candidates out there -And just who might that be REALISTICALLY in your opinion?
No....she is much worse. At least Palin did not invent stories about dodging sniper fire in Bosnia.
The only reason any rational person could vote for Hillary Clinton for president given her character and public record is if one took her Benghazi hearing statement as her campaign slogan and agreed, conceding that the nation were already doomed:

I see. Jesus just lacked a decent editor. Like you. Got it.
So you must believe that since we enjoy all that conservative largess, we have no need for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare.

You obviously haven't read The Gospels recently.
You mean the guy who presided over 8 years of peace and prosperity? You hyper-partisan hacks never seem to remember that part.

You know, most every president we've ever had has turned out to be a scam for one side or the other. A successful president's term can only be based on - what the major issues are and what that president has been able to do to reach a positive outcome and who benefits from it.
Was thinking about that this morning. And you are right, on top of that she was caught and let hubby try to pick up the pieces by saying she was tired and dehydrated.
right, we saw how dehydrated she was
And the fact that she believes NASA rather than Rush Limbaugh when it comes to global warming is completely irrelevant, right?
The problem with democracy is that voters are so often vacuous tools of the rich and powerful.
You really want to go there? Even though Palin's only been in the national spotlight less than a decade compared to Clinton's three, Palin has an unmatchable record:
Here she is recently when her teleprompter broke.
Here's her top ten stupidest utterances, although there are plenty more: Dumb Sarah Palin Quotes - Top 10 Stupid Palin Quotes
Even the GOP has admitted that Palin is loco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=M6phMonavhw
Watch the video. It's hilarious.
Yep. I'm pretty much convinced that there's some rule in this discussion forum against policy discussions. Either that, or these Clinton-haters know that policy discussions are not to their advantage...
Tax cuts for the rich, anyone?
I absolutely love tax cuts for the rich. Any money that they spend or invest rather then hiding in tax shelters creates more jobs, taxpayers, etc.
Increasing the minimum wage (for example) has far more impact on the economy than giving tax breaks for the rich. This is because the common folk have to (and want to) spend money, and thus it heavily influences the economy. The rich horde the money, with very little going back into the economy.
Minimum wage increases usually result in lay offs and less availability of unskilled jobs.
You see....the way life works is.....you should not remain in an unskilled minimum wage job until retirement. You should work to improve your skills or learn new skills and improve your value as an employee and advance in life.
Or they could choose not pay their CEOs millions of dollars in salary.
If you give the rich tax cuts, they will pocket the money and none of it will go back into their business/employees.
It will not trickle down. If they can squeeze the common folk and pocket the money, they will. And they do.
That's not the way life works. Come back to reality. People take minimum wage jobs well into adulthood because of life's circumstances. Further, they are forced to take government benefits to supplement their incomes and survive. In other words, it's corporations, not the poor, who are abusing welfare.
What companies pay their CEOs is not up to you or me.
Again, unless it is just hidden in a mattress, it will trickle down. To deny that is just silly.
Fine. Just don't pretend that the cost of an increase in minimum wage has to come at the expense of consumers and low wage workers. It could come out of those record profits.
And yet the rich continue to get richer, even under a Liberal Commie President, and the poor and middle class are stagnant at best. When it is going to trickle down?
The standard response when the minimum wage increase is raised is either cutting the payroll, by way of layoffs, less hiring, or significantly raising the price of the product or service they sell.
The policies you liberals want to use against the rich are actually hurting the middle class and poor. What exactly bothers you about the rich getting rich getting richer? Is it a class envy thang?
Frankly I don't think a President has to accomplish much. All the President has to do to be beloved and successful is to be a competent administrator and a leader--somebody with courage of his/her convictions so that he or she doesn't vacillate trying to accommodate the polls. And somebody who reflects the deepest values of the people and inspires them to be the best they can be. Reagan for instance was no great intellect. And his administration isn't remembered for a lot of accomplishments. He did some things right, got some things wrong, and had a weird side that probably wouldn't be allowed now 35 years later. But he was beloved by most and he inspired us to be better people. He carried 49 of the 50 states in 1984 and almost got Mondale's Minnesota too.
THAT is what I want in a President though. Somebody who won't allow Congress to run amuck and otherwise leads by example and trusts the people to know what is best for the people.
This appears to be an admission that increasing profits will never go back into the business (specifically, the workers).
You didn't answer my question. When is the money going to trickle down? You said it would. The only thing that has happened since Reagan is that it takes two incomes to support a household, rather than one income prior to Reagan.
I suggest that you take a course in economics.
Perhaps someday, you will get into business yourself and learn about the costs of keeping a business solvent and making a profit. The easiest thing to get out of control and tank a business is payroll. The costs are greater then just what ends up in the employee's paycheck. The standard response when the minimum wage increase is raised is either cutting the payroll, by way of layoffs, less hiring, or significantly raising the price of the product or service they sell.
