Do you think that the republicans are chomping at the bit, hoping

Hillary will be the nominee in '08? I think she is a lightning rod to all right wing groups and other republicans.

1. I think so
Most of the commentators pushing her are repubs, and the media is going along with it. Of course.

2. No. I think they sincerely fear her. Because....
She has gravitas up the ying yang. She is knowledgeable, smart and articulate. She was half the team of one of the country's most successful presidencies.

Finally, with bush's poll ratings in the toilette, they KNOW that any dem will be able to beat the repuke candidate in 2008. Since they think the dem candidate will be Hillary, they fear her the most.

3. I'm not so sure she could win, Kahuna.
Not that she isn't perfectly qualified; but I think she might lose for no other reason that the public may be fed up with the constant shrub/clinton tug of war. I hope I'm wrong......God do I hope I'm wrong, because I think she may run.

18. And Bill Clinton had a 77 percent approval rating when he was impeached
The Clintons have far more star power than any of the riff raff the pukes will put up, except maybe Guiliani, and there's no way that he'll get it.

4. I agree, I support her, but she doesn't have Bill's charisma or
political brilliance, who does?

I think the republicans fear her but would love to see Hillary run.

It would consolidate all type of right-wing factions, moderates, people who won't vote for a woman, etc...

With all that swirling around, stealing the votes through the republican owned Diebold electronic voting machines will make it a cake walk for the republicans.

Until the fascist Arnold is ready to take over in 2012 or 2016

5. They're certainly doing their best to make it so.
You can always tell what the reich-wing wants as the corporate media promotes it non-stop.

6. Grammar Nazi Alert: It's 'champing', not chomping. You have been warned.

11. They should be damn careful what they wish for
Hillary would win hands down if elections were fair. They may have a pile of hatred but I think that is wearing thin.

12. It's a win-win situation for them
Because even if Hillary wins the White House, her presence on the ticket will hurt Democrats in red states, and that would most likely result in a massive net gain for the GOP in the U.S. Senate.

16. Hillary's Run
You don't think people will vote for an honest, articulate, politically experienced woman for President, huh?

Oh, that's right. People would rather vote for a pithead who sends their relatives to be killed in a stupid war.

No smart leaders for us.

First we allow them to demean Hillary, then we try to shut Dean up when he tells the truth about Republicans, then we go back to allowing them to demean Hillary, not to mention the smearing of veterans of foreign wars who are members of our party. What will we Democrats allow next? Running Lieberman for President? Oh, yeah, we already ran Lieberman. Run Biden? Zelldinger? Or will we finally stand, speak, and encourage others to speak out against this hysterical, filthy running at the mouth by the opposition.

If it please the Force, Give me a party that believes in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, one that believes and stands for equality for everyone, one that insists on making healthcare and education affordable, one that encourages jobs on our shores, one that works to save the planet, one that can't be bought by big business and won't listen to smarmy lobbiests. Please give me a party that believes in a person's right to choose a religion, and worship in the halls of that religion, praying within his/her own mind wherever he/she goes, without demanding everyone else pray with him/her. Please help me to elect people who are honest and can't be corrupted. Let them put country ahead of self and party. And please give me a party that would never, never goes to war unless the country is in danger and unless all other options to protect the citizens have failed.
Deliver me from George Bush and his administration.
