Do you find her any more cold and calculating than a man? Do you hold her to a different standard than a male candidate? Because that's hardly fair. People who seek political power have to be somewhat calculating. I personally like Edwards a lot more, policy-wise; but the way people like Chris Matthews simply can't deal with *any* powerful woman is just insulting to me. :) I'm not a conspiracy nut, but I do not like the way Bush has tried to turn the presidency into a monarchy. And Diebold machines without paper trails should be eliminated. But as far as getting rid of guns, that's never going to happen--there are far too many of them now circulating, and the gun-making industry is fairly powerful. (it's actually not that hard to make your own gun, if you're determined to do so). As for socialized medicine, we would all be healthier, not sicker--the most recent survey of 19 industrialized nations found that 100,000 Americans die every year for lack of care--meaning that if we had a quality of care equivalent to France's socialized medicine, we'd save 100,00 lives a year. And the rest of us would probably be in better shape due to having access to medical treatment for chronic but non-fatal problems. All countries that have socialized medicine also have private health insurance, for those that want it. There is no loss of freedom, other than the freedom to die from the flu because you're too poor for healthcare. The Amero thing...well, I don't see it happening; seems like the Trilateral commission and fake moon-landing type stuff, there. The dollar's declining because we rely on increasing production rather than sustainable economics. My personal phobia is the oil crash; no one is talking about what we do when oil runs out, and how that doesn't just affect transportation, but also plastics and fertilizers. Could get ugly. Hope it won't. Hmmm, Lauxa. Do you find her any more cold and calculating than a man? Do you hold her to a different standard than a male candidate? Because that’s hardly fair.

To me she seems to be in it for the power. I don't see that she has a lot of compassion or a strong faith to balance her out. She seems to be in bed with the corporate lobbyists. On top of this, I am a conspiracy nut and completely disagree with her policies. Picture this. Guns are made illegal. Health care is socialized, but the quality continues to decline. The dollar continues to decline against foreign currencies. Gold is confiscated. To bail out the American dollar, the globalists suggest a new North American currency, the Amero. Taxes are levied at a trans-national level -- taxation without representation. There is no way to protest... the people are broke and sick and weaponless... the "elections" are tallied on easily-rigged Diebold machines... So maybe that's not a "logical" explanation, but that's why Hillary scares me. Her being female has nothing to do with it. Hillary scares me because she seems so cold and calculating.
