If you watched the Republican Debate the other night, then you know who’s the Democrat most loved by Romney, McCain & friends. It’s our former First Lady and current Senator from the great state of New York, Hillary Clinton.
Frankly, I’ve seen this coming for a long time. Clinton is a smart woman who might make a terrific president. I just don’t like her chances for getting there.
First, she is a very polarizing figure. A lot of people really hate her and equate her with all that’s wrong with politics and politicians in this country. I don’t feel that way but I can’t deny that sentiment is out there.
And second, she comes with a ton of baggage. Baggage, which makes prospective opponents on the Republican side wake up with joy (if not an actual erection) each morning at the thought of running a campaign against her.
You know the minute (who am I kidding, it’s already started) she clinches the nomination, Republicans are going to the skeleton closet to drag out Vince Foster, Travel Gate, White Water (my favorite waste of time and massive money) and of course Monica Lewinsky. It’s going to be like buying a Republican Greatest Hits CD. All their old favorites are going to be on it. Let’s just say Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and their brethren are counting down the seconds.
And the question is how is any of this going to move the country forward?

David – First off thanks for checking out my site. But I looked at your list and had a few of thoughts.
1 – Don’t know how anyone can attack McCain’s or for that matter Kerry’s war records. Especially since most of the people who do so seem to support politicians who skipped the war (Dick Cheney & our current President).
2 – Realistically, amnesty is probably the only workable solution to the immigration problem. These folks are not going home and the only way to get them to become full participants in our society is to give them something to work toward. Then again, I tend to believe that most immigrants come here like my ancestors did, to work their tails off to make a better life for their families. Maybe that’s just my family…
3 – Cheap shot on the calling the kid a jerk item. It was clearly a joke.
4 – Easy & somewhat obvious play on McCain’s last name. If you really want to make to be taken seriously then I’d say bastardizing a candidate’s last name is probably undercutting your argument.
