Hillary Clinton

A rising star in the U.S. government

Since the ratification of the Constitution in 1776, U.S. politics on all levels has been dominated by white, Anglo-Saxon males. Although this is still primarily the case, it is clear that this trend is beginning to change. Not only are more minorities voted into Congress and appointed on presidential administration staffs, but women are also becoming more prominent.

One example is Hillary Rodham Clinton. Love her or hate her, Clinton is climbing the ranks of the Senate and is even seeking the election bid for the Democratic Party in 2008.

Hillary Rodham Clinton was born on October 26, 1947 in Chicago, Illinois. After graduating from Maine South High School, she attended Wellesley College where she was named valedictorian of her graduating class, along with receiving honors in the political science department. During her time at Wellesley, Clinton left the Republican party and joined the Democrats. Next, she attended Yale University in pursuit of a law degree. There she became interested in children's rights and issues and joined many organizations related to this cause. She also started dating Bill Clinton during this time.

Good lord I hate this woman with a passion.

She did a speech in Alabama and tried to do it with a southern
black woman's accent/drawl.

It was an insult to everyone.

Besides that, she's completely stupid.

If you consider her to be your idol, you should probably have
yourself commited.
While I'm all for a woman running for president and becoming
president...not Hillary. She's done nothing but make empty
promises to NYS...and she'll only do that to the entire country if
she's elected as president. Go Obama!
Tschuess, tootles, und liebe.
Re
about her whole senator of NY thing, go do some research on it and
see exactly what she did to even be able to run for senator.

Basically, she doesn't even live in NY, she lives in a different
state but wanted to be the senator of NY..soooo she buys this huge
multimillion dollar house in upstate where they have an extra
smalled house for the secret service agents to live....oh and get
this, she charged the US Secret Service 5 million a month in rent
to "help pay for expenses." The funny part is that her monthly
mortgage on the house is 5 million dollars...so basically our tax
dollars (which pays for the Secret Service) are paying for her
mortagage...Nice woman huh???

Don't believe me, go check it out!

oh, sorry about posting my last one twice, I realized I had the
"b" word in it and wasn't sure if they'd delete it or not, so I
reposteed with it edited.
this woman is a heinous b***h. she has done some of the absolutely
most sneaky, lowlife things and it's freakin' ridiculous that she
is running for president! I am all for having a woman be in
office, but certainaly not one who lies and manipulates to get her
way. She's never done anything great for this country, and
anything good that she has done she's actually just taken credit
for.

If she gets elected I'm moving...there's no way I'm gonna stick
around and watch her run the country I love so much into the
ground!
i'm voting for obama i think he will do better than a woman who
took her cheating low life husband back after he humiliated her.
thats just my opinion though.
GO HILLARY!!! This woman is my idol, I am currently an
undergraduate majoring in political science and pray that I too
one day wil be in the congress, and maybe the white house also.
we need a democrat back in office. And if it happens to be
Hilary, so be it!
She is still representing the upper-class white majority. Why in
the world would we continue to support just those who give money
for our campaigning, insuring their interests are on the front
burner? I'm a(n upper?) middle-class white girl. My parents make
a nice amount of money (we're not super-rich by any means, but we
do well for ourselves), but I went to a school where the majority
of kids eat one meal per day because that's all they can afford.
Why, then, not help these people? I personally believe Barack
Obama, who lives in an inner-city neighborhood with the lower- and
middle-class people, can better help those of our lower classes.
Perhaps if Obama is elected, we can see a change in this country
truly for the better. Perhaps he can bring the ever-so-elusive
thing called EQUALITY to the American people.

God Bless You, Obama!
She could never win. Too many people dislike her. I'm not even
sure she can win the democratic primaries.
I agree with Hillary Clinton on the issues.

She is really - so impressive - look at that resume. I don't
understand why she is so polarizing when she has been tied to big
business and heck - was a Republican!

Its about damn time the US had a woman president too. But no,
that's not the only reason I would vote for a woman - just to see
a woman in office. For example - Condie.. no way.
Heck with "ema300"... Nathalie1 YOU ROCK! No one should vote for
Hilary because she's female. (Personally, I'd never in a million
years vote for her). But if you're going to vote for Hilary, vote
for what she believes in.
No, no, no to Hillary on my part. I am a woman, and yes, someday
I'd like to see a woman stand up and swear in as president, but I
would like for that woman to stand for most of the things that I
stand for. In fact, I want to see a person who stands up for most
of the things I believe in, and it doesn't matter if that person
is white, black, hispanic, asian, etc. or female or male. That's
not what's important, and it's time that people start looking at
candidates for the REAL reasons and not because of that person's
background, ethnicity, or race.
having her as my president,finally have the country ran the way it
should be lol BY A STRONG EDUCATED WOMAN
