My Guess

So you're going to vote for her on the sole fact that she's a woman? You don't care about her policies/stances on things?

To be honest, I probably disagree with her on a lot of things, but I think there's more good to be had in women being considered as legitimate contenders for office in the future than there is harm she can do in four years.

Let me clear this up before I address anything else: I'm all for women's rights. I see no reason that a woman should get paid less for doing the same job, and likewise I see no reason why we can't have a woman for president. Sexism is a thing of the past in my eyes; and as I believe in progress, regressing to such a medieval mindset violates whatever morals my parents instilled in me (though it's perfectly fine if it stays within the realm of comedy).

While I'm all for a woman President; I believe that Hillary Clinton is, as a candidate and not necessarily as a woman, unfit for the job. And this disbelief is not rooted in bias; it's rooted in Clinton's own statements.

According to CNN, Clinton recently made the claim that, "I'm not sure I would have gotten through [my marital strife] without my faith." I have two problems with this statement:

1. Her Martial Crisis

Let's not mince words: Bill Clinton cheated on her with another woman. In response to this, did she leave his punk ass? Did she divorice him or beat him severely? NO! She just said, "Yes dear," and cowered into the corner of the kitchen like a good little wifey. I don't believe someone who would let their chauvinist spouse cheat on them in front of the entire country without repercussion is fit for President.

2. Her "God helped me through it" Statement

Let me get this straight: God helped you through a crisis faced by hundreds of married couples every year; and there are young, innocent children dying of famine and plague as I type this. Something doesn't add up here.

I know full well that this statement is just an attempt to garner votes from the unwashed masses (see: religion). But I also know full well that this doesn't make her statement any less stupid; it just makes it more empty.

Aside from politics that surely doesn't help any.

You know, D3v, that post is both unbiased and makes good points. I hadn't thought about that at all before. In all honesty, I'm suprised that it's coming from you and not from someone else. If I can't right now, I'm going to give you a positive rep for that post as soon as I can.

Congrats on not being a dumbass.

So what happens when Hillary has her monthly bitch-phase and occasionally decides to nuke a country becuase she's overly emotional and a degrading comment is made at her and she just 'can't take it.'

Yep, that's a valid concern...

...if we ignore the fact that declaration of war is one of the powers that only Congress possesses.

Hillary has the greatest chance of winning currently.
