Should Hillary Clinton be Running for the Republican Ticket or the Democratic Ticket?

<p>There isn’t “so much disdain for Hillary”, or at least any more disdain than there ever was. She’s popular in my house, and in lots of other Democratic houses, too. (I would be perfectly happy to vote for any number of Democrats for President, but right now I see her as the best, most qualified candidate.) Some people just hate her, for a variety of somewhat overlapping reasons: her unwomanly ambition, her arrogance, Whitewater, Bill, her mishandling of health care reform, Vince Foster, and, above all, the awful cookie-baking line. Also, of course, that she’s a Democrat, which is reason enough for lots of the people who hate her to hate her. She’s never going to get those votes, and she doesn’t have to.</p>

<p>Countries that are (or were) far more sexist than the U.S. is now have elected women as their chief executives, in the face of similar issues or worse. Why? Because in the end they get to run against some specific man who may have issues that are at least as bad, and because none of that stuff really matters anyway. None of the current GOP candidates tempts me in the least. (Well, McCain maybe a little.) I’ll be happy to vote for Hillary Clinton with all her faults over any of them.</p>

<p>If Ron Paul doesn’t get the Republican nomination, I’ll be voting for Hillary.</p>

<p>(btw, I’ve never voted Republican before, but Ron Paul has gotten my attention.)</p>

<p>I too have never understood why people seem to hate Hillary so much. The worst reason ever is that she didn’t divorce Bill. Say, what??? As if that’s any of anyone’s business. These same people, who self-righteously talk about ‘family values’ support Republican candidates who’ve cheated on their wives, divorced their wives for younger women, etc.</p>

<p>I really dislike it when Republicans hate Democrats just for being Democrats. I’ve never felt that way about any Republicans, except for bush of course, but that has nothing to do with him being Republican.</p>

In other words, you hate it when Republicans hate Democrats but its ok for Democrats to hate Republicans like Bush as long as you are the one doing the hating. Do you even realize how silly your comment was?</p>
