Is Hillary the ideal candidate for President?
Unfortunately, the Democratic candidates for president all suck. Although John Kerry voted for the Iraq war, he strongly opposed the absolutely mandatory $87 billion needed to sustain our efforts there. Dick Gephardt supported both the war and the additional money, but he wants to give $200 billion to corportations so they can pay for health insurance regardless of whether they are already paying for it. Gephardt may be a good candidate, but he does not yet strike me that way. He has not yet earned my trust. I would support Joseph Lieberman, but, quite frankly, it is simply not the right time for a Jewish President. We are still in the early stages of fighting the war on militant Islamism. Lieberman has not shown how he could be a credible actor on the world stage. Wesley Clark started out strong, but now he appears to be winging it. Trying to blame Bush for 9/11 was a crystal clear sign of Clark’s political unseriousness. John Edwards has the curse of eternal youthfulness. He is a 50 going on 25. Edwards seems obsessed with demolishing the Patriot Act while letting the Iranian regime off the hook. Has he read a newspaper lately? We’re fighting a war.
I would seriously consider voting for Hillary Rodham Clinton. Yes. Her. She would prosecute the War on Terrorism like a hellcat. Her only problem is electability, but the more I think about it, the more I like it.
Run, Hillary, run.
