You've got to be joking. What you are saying is that you would vote for a politition who has compromised his/her morals and perhaps done some dubious things...say perhaps...used illicit drugs, adultery, or even possessed child pornography? Are you saying that that stuff doesn't matter when it comes to who is running your country? You can't possibly be saying that! I don't care who Jennifer Aniston is dating or (a better example) what Pewee Herman is doing in a movie theater. But, I do care what my representatitive is doing or has done when nobody is looking----who they really are. Because one would be a fool to think that who a person is will not affect how they represent you. |

I am currently watching a speech by Sen. Clinton and I find myself remembering her role in her husbands service as president...and, for lack of a better term..his service by another woman. I remember at the time thinking to myself, why does she stay married to an adulterer? What reason does she have to continue a commitment that was not returned to her. Not one person would have blammed her for leaving good ole' Billy, yet she stayed in the face of her national embarrassment over the issue. The answer is obvious. She was protecting her presidential bid. I am listening to her speak about values this very moment, but it was she who has sacrificed values in order to get what she can take. She has "sold out" her self respect in order to protect what she wanted...something that I believe she could have had anyway. Is this someone we can trust with our political future? |

I'm a registered Republican and usually vote along party lines but only after studying the platforms of the candidates. If I believe a Democratic candidate will do a better job, that's who I vote for. Unfortunately, the last time I voted for a Democrat, I got stung because Gov. Blanco has been absolutely horrible! ![]() |

She may have honestly stayed with him because she loved him. Love is a very powerful emotion that will make even the proudest of people swallow their pride. That is why many people are scared of it. But all that aside, I still wouldn't vote for her. |

I think of a lot of that was due to party loyalty more than anything else. How about loyalty to the nation? Or loyalty to her husband? Both of those seem more reasonable and probable than mere politics from a human perspective. Standing by her man was good for the nation and I do find it hard to fault a woman for 'standing by her man' (through good times and bad, in sickness and in health...). As for Hillary, I think she'd make a wonderful President of the USA and a surprisingly strong Democratic Presidential candidate in 2008 if she decides to go for it. That being said, I don't think she'd be the best choice at this time given the substantively large and irrational hatred that certain sections of the US electorate has for her. I think that's an uphill battle that probably isn't worth fighting given the 'Swiftboat' nature of contemporary media politics. As for Hillary's quality, I must say that Hillary's healthcare policy proposal (1993-94) was a pretty damn good piece of American legislation and likely to be the core of any future US policy enactment on the topic. GM, Delphi and IBM have pretty well nailed this issue squarely over the last six months - this political ground is shifting right now. And Hillary's proposal is still looking like the best of the all reasonable proposals on the topic from a strictly American context. |

hello,Mrs M, have you ever read Cinton's book"My life".I had read Chinese version.In this book,Clinton told us Hillary forgive him at last. You might also want to read a recent book called "Rewriting History". It's a response to "My Life", and was written by a man who used to be longtime friend of Bill and Hillary, and was Bill's campaign advisor for a long time. His name is Dick Morris, and he has worked for campaigns of Clinton, George H.W. Bush (father of our current President), and politicians from other countries as well. In "Rewriting History", Morris warns that Hillary is not as she appears, and gives many examples and evidence to back up what he says. In sum, Morris and Hillary say two different things. I encourage you to read both books. Then seek information from other sources too, to decide for yourself what to believe in the matter. In this country you will find that there are MANY different opinions and viewpoints, often contradictory, and usually very loud. You have many opportunities to examine them and compare to other things. There is not "just one voice" telling you what is correct. Here you have the opportunity to gather many different pieces of information. Furthermore, you have a DUTY to do so, since no one else will be responsible for your decision. Good luck. |
