America's first woman...

… Majority Leader turned out to be Leader Nance, who took impeachment off the table and gutted FISA and the Fourth Amendment.

So color me skeptical on this whole “First Woman” thing, OK?

Including “First Woman President.”

Just sayin’.

First Women

First Women President…don’t count on it. We all knows that she goes too far. Honestly? Democrats haven’t been able to recover since…

(fill in the blanks.) Thanks.

There’s a cautionary tale about a First Woman

named Eve, and an apple and a snake. Things didn’t turn out well at all.

But really; with the mess we’re in now after 43 pricks in a row, does it make sense to project that that Prick #44 would do better? Or that a vagina seated in the Oval Office would be any worse?

If Hillary is only a wash as president, she’ll have been a success just for breaking this ridiculous gender taboo. More women in elected office would be a very good thing.

Eh, I'm back to where I was on Ferraro, I think

Not that we don’t need a woman in the office.
Just that isn’t the right one.
Elizabeth Edwards, yeah, you bet.

Look, there are about six bazillion reasons HRC is a bad idea.
The endless tireless harping from the rightwing media is just the annoyingest and least substantial. You think they hate her now, you think they’re on about her running; if she gets elected, they’ll all barely stop short, five times a day, of blowing an aneurysm on the air. Unfortunately. If they’d all blow an aneurysm on the air, it’d be a world.

The Presidency does NOT need to be a “family affair.” Time for somebody SEPARATE from the Bush/Clinton dynasties.

HRC voted to give Bush the power to go to war. That’s an abrogation of the Congressional responsibility to decide these things, and the first of many votes she turned in suggesting to me that restoring Constitutional government is so low on her agenda it won’t make the first-term radar picture.

HRC voted to continue funding Iraq.

She didn’t filibuster Alito or Roberts or Mukasey.

You want me to believe she gives a damn about poor people, or progressive voters?

Give me some proof. No lies about her tipping, please.
