Comments on: Iowa Roundup http://www.thetalentshow.org/2008/01/04/iowa-roundup/ Just another WordPress weblog Thu, 08 Jan 2009 01:39:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Marshall http://www.thetalentshow.org/2008/01/04/iowa-roundup/comment-page-1/#comment-15067 Marshall Tue, 08 Jan 2008 02:06:53 +0000 http://www.thetalentshow.org/2008/01/04/iowa-roundup/#comment-15067 Having grown up in a thoroughly Republican household (my mom ran for State Rep in Illinois and since retired to a life as a political strategist for Republican candidates there), my best guess as to why conservatives hate Hillary is strictly personal. Besides thinking that the whole health care thing was stupid, they connect her to what they perceived to be Bill Clinton's flip-flopping, his apparently wag-the-dog bombing of Serbia (I think?) in order to distract the public from his sex scandals. In many ways, I think they see her as the real cold-blooded political mastermind behind what they saw as the intolerable corruption and moral bankruptcy of the Clinton years. This isn't to say that I agree with Republicans on this one at all. But: I will say that I think for the above reasons Hillary is pretty much unelectable. Conservatives have been fearing another Clinton in the white house since 2000 (or before). If you want to give the opposition a reason to mobilize, send out Hillary as our candidate.

Who wants Bill Clinton 2.0? How many more free trade agreements or pushes towards globalization do you think Dems really want? Obama is the "blank slate" candidate that you can pin your hopes on, because he has the advantage of a limited Senate voting record, and he cannot be associated with crooked land deals. www.recreate99.org We are not shocked at all.

I know why liberals don't like her, but please tell me why republicans want to kill her? No republican has ever explained that to me. I don't like her because she voted for the war which aided the Bush dictatorship and now is as vague as possible to not offend people. But that's my liberal opinion. If you hate Hillary, liberal or not, and your reasons other than mine please write them. I almost feel bad for clinton.
