To many of you this is just going to probably prove my lack of political literacy. I have always professed as being such. I have said on many occassion that I have trust issues and that I lack the most amount of trust in Politicians. I hear them saying blah, blah, blah. With a smile on their face and all the right words for all the right groups of people. I then change the channel to something more suitable to my taste. My husband keeps up on politics and bases his opinion on the candidate that mostly suits his beliefs. I trust my husband in this area. : ) I try to see all people as just people. While Bill Clinton was going through all his crap, (infidelity), I mentioned to my husband, "this man cannot even be faithful to his family, why would I believe he would be faithful to his country". My husband believes that Bill Clinton was a good President and did many good things while in office. While "I" still insist, I don't like the man. However several years ago, I was thinking in my little "pea brain", wouldn't it be nice if we had a woman President. (This was long before the Clinton Era.) Women tend to talk things out and try to figure out what really makes sense. Women enjoy sitting with groups of people over tea or coffee and talking things over. I know I (as a woman) do the math before I believe much of anything. If it doesn't add up I have a hard time believing it. And when I know I'm right, I plant both feet in the ground, and I don't budge. So, what makes sense to me is I believe Hillary is a wife and a mother before she is a Politition. She has stuck by her husbands side, she has been loyal to him, she has stood up for him. Even though a lot of people lost faith in him. I have read some of her "spouting off" and she reminds me of me sometimes. She seems to be a tough woman who stands up for herself. While in reality, I don't know this woman. I find myself leaning towards her. Whether or not I vote for her still remains a mystery. Not sure the country and the men who do still run things are ready to have a female in Office. posted by

Colitas, we ran into our mutual friend last night and as always gave her hugs. We mentioned you to her and she got a big smile and said yes, she knows you. What a small world we live in!!! She is so happy about her "upcoming event". She had mentioned a couple of weeks ago about meeting the mother and I forgot to ask how that went. I know she was really nervous about it. I think this whole "connection" to you is funny and strange. (good strange). I hope things are going good for you. Take care. posted by

Olivia, thank for at least responding to the blog topic here, every other Hillary supporter is in denial of the real Person she is, she is very experienced with the media and knows how to manipulate it, put that with most of the media is in her pocket, mainly CNN, and how she plants questions at her campaign stops, she puts out the image that she knows people want to see, which is vastly different from the real Hillary, when you say, "While Bill Clinton was going through all his crap, (infidelity), ", keep in mind, she knew about it all, and she didn't care, she helped smear all the women that he was with, to make them look like they were the ones that were bad, not him, she wants only power, any way she can get it, take a look at this link ,Hillary attacked this woman that was raped by her husband, she attacked all the women that her husband was with, just like Kathleen Willey, http://www.newsbusters.org/..., why does this mean nothing to women? posted by

And I'll say it again....I don't trust politicians (boy I'm glad I figured out how to spell that, knew I wasn't earlier)....anyway....I don't believe the Media, I don't believe 1/2 of what the republicans say about democrats or democrats about republicans. Smear campaigns are all over the place and the whole bunch of shit only irritates me. Someone who stands to earn millions on a book, I have to wonder how much truth there is going to be in it. How much will be facts and how much will be sellable reading. I don't read "tell all books". There are a lot of women who will attack "the other woman". Hillary may be fierce, untrustworthy and a bad person. I don't know her. How many politicians do we really know? I'm pretty sure there are a lot of women who get on power trips and let the power go completely to their head. I know that it happens to men quite frequently. Maybe I'm aware of this because it still seems to be a "man's world". A strong woman seems to intimidate men. They are usually called things like bitch, dike, pre mentrual, menopausal, irrational, etc, etc. What are strong men called....hmmm can't think of anything negative. I'm convinced of one thing. Something in Politics needs to change. If I end up voting for Hillary, it may be a mistake. I think a lot of people who voted for Bush now think they made a huge mistake. I'm wanting a change in Politics. Maybe it will take a woman to do that. Maybe not. I'm glad that I live in America, and I'm also becoming very disheartened by what America (or possibly the whole world) has become. I'm glad to know that I won't be around in 50 years and I worry about my kids. posted by

Olivia, your right about one thing, we need a change in politics, but that change shouldnt be going back to the Clintons. I'll close all this out on a lighter note, Available this year, the perfect Christmas stocking stuffer, "The Hillary Nut Cracker", maybe one for Bigdog?

Gee Starbucks, since you're afraid of strong women, how do you feel about female cops, female firefighters, female military...how about female doctors? Why do men fear strong women? Why do they have to call them names? I don't fear strong men, I admire them. Hillary stood by her man, so what? So did just about every other first lady in history. They were all cheaters, Nixon was a wifebeater. The media used to protect people in the public eye, now all they want to do is focus on dirt rather than what's really important. I don't agree 100% with Hiliary, but then again, I seldom agree 100% with anyone - ask my old man. To solve it, just make me queen of the world. Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaaa! posted by

Joty, I am not afraid of strong women, you and sparks and changing the issue, Margret Thatcher was a great leader for Britain, and there are other great women around the world that are strong leaders, that has nothing to do with the topic here. It is simply beyond belief to me that you would still think Hillary is a great woman knowing her past, like I said before, you could fill a library with all the corruption and scandal that surrounds the Clinton's. I posted so many facts here and they barely scraped the surface of her lies, and corruption that make her the person she is. and no one would even comment on any of it. Joty, she didn't just stand by her man, she helped destroy the women that he had affairs with!, she was in on it!, unbelievable that you think this is a good woman to be our leader. so, its not about disliking strong women, its about accepting the truth about Hillary, some do, some don't, I do. but,like I said before, she is down in the polls, so, there is a God, Sparks, your an extreme left wing Liberal, why do the majority of daily Kos people and Huffing ton post people hate Hillary? and why do you admire her? posted by
