Why does everyone hate Hillary?

<p>Frankly she lacks the charisma of her husband. And also do we really want to reduce Mr.clinton into being called the "first man" hahaha lol it sounds so stupid. Oh yeah now iam gonna get a bunch of feminsts yelling at me, but its true. Also shes a communist. BTW i don't really like obama either.
And shes really cold hearted woman.</p>

<p>eyebeg, SmartDude's a troll. Just let it go lol.</p>

<p>I personally respect both Obama and Clinton. Who cares at this point their race or gender? Would it be great to have a female or African American President? Of course! Does that mean that I'd root for Condoleeza? Heck no!
Obama and Clinton barely differ on the issues, but to me, it's always been about who can get their policies through. People may not like Hillary, but I would wager that more people on Capitol Hill would deal with her than someone who has vowed to fight the "old politics" that still has many supporters in both parties in Congress (just my opinion).</p>

<p>BTW: I'd like to add, and I hope everyone can agree, that both campaigns have overused and abused the word "hope" to the point that I'm considering petitioning Webster to erradicate the word entirely from the English language.</p>

<p>i dont really like hillary much because of her actions, not because of her physical appearance (although that eerie little smile she makes during the debates kinda freaks me out). she is bringing drama to this that is not really necessary. like she is always throwing salt on obama when obama was just trying to keep this a nice clean race. i mean was it obama or the clintons who brought race into the picture? she is harping on this whole being first woman president too much for me.</p>

<p>ugh and has anyone ever watched a debate with her? she is incredible rude (well at least in the last one) and continued to speak over everyone until they gave her a chance to speak...over and over and over. i mean it gets tiring after a while.</p>

<p>i also dont like the fact that she continues to talk about experience yet only wants to take credit for certain things.</p>

<p>i respect hillary for trying to be a pioneer and opening doors for women that have never been opened, and i think that she would have had a pretty decent chance at this if she wouldnt have gotten so slimy.</p>

<p>maybe next time women...</p>

<p>Hillary is just easier to make fun of than Obama. It's not fair, but that's just one of the ways politics works.</p>

<p>I hate how everyone who likes Hillary assumes that the rest of us dislike her because she's a woman.. we just "don't know it" or we "won't admit it"... as if you know us better than we know ourselves? It's silly to call strangers sexists without any other info about us. I find the sexism accusations kind of weak, but then again, I suppose there's no other way of defending Miss Hillary than by arbitrarily pointing fingers and yelling "sexist!"</p>

<p>I've yet to hear a good reason from anyone I've talked to as to why they hate Hillary. The only thing that seems reasonable to me is a simple policy disagreement.</p>

<p>democrats are the true racists and sexists. Okay if you don't count idiots like the kkk but the population of those are very small.</p>

ehhh... let's keep this intelligent. that's just unnecessary overstatement.</p>

<p>also, to all the Clinton supporters...
DO YOU REALIZE HOW MUCH DIRT THERE IS ON THE CLINTONS!? PEOPLE THINK THE WHOLE UNTRUE BARACK BEING A MUSLIM STORY IS BAD... WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR ABOUT THE CLINTONS...</p>

it's mainly her character and personality, so, essentially, it's just her. (sorry but it'll take WAY too much effort to elaborate on this...)</p>

<p>But what's a "good reason"? One contingent on her political policies and experience? Does an offensive and cold personality count as a good reason, or does that just make me sexist? Because I know a lot of girls and women who are pleasant, likeable, and friendly, but Hillary just isn't one of them.</p>

<p>Unleashedfury, Obama was on the ticket in Florida. The only stipulation in Florida was that the democratic candidates weren't allowed to campaign.</p>

Hillary bent the rules, as usual. she campaigned in Florida; that's just a fact. despite that, it'd also be unfair because once the politicians actually start campaigning, Obama always does better. allowing Florida to stand as is would be unfair because Obama played by the rules and never had the opportunity to campaign there.</p>

<p>I have a lot of respect for Hillary Clinton because, as has been echoed on this forum already, she's excelling in a role that's traditionally reserved for men. That aside, I understand that sometimes she can be a bit cold, but whenever she talks about policy she's completely compelling--she's like watching a freaking powerpoint! Whatever, you can knock her on her warmness, but no one can really knock her on her understanding of both domestic and foreign affairs, and you can't knock her on her achievements. I think that this is more important in a president than the ability to inspire.</p>

<p>P.S. I supported Obama for a full year before I realized that he's no different than other politicians. I dislike that he readily denounces "old school" politicians when his tactics are virtually the same.</p>

<p><quote>Hillary bent the rules, as usual. she ran ads and "campaigned in Florida" outside of Florida.</quote></p>

<p>I'll concede that point, with the exception of "as usual." </p>

<p>P.S. how do you put a quote in a message?</p>

<p>great article, Melancholy.......you're right that it is very well written and explains exactly what I tried to say above!</p>

His message of "hope" and "change" is targeted towards to typical American who doesn't want to think.

<p>if that's the case, then that is incredibly ironic since Obama gains a lot of support from more educated voters.

<p>It's because of arrogant statements like this one that the word "intelligentsia" leaves a bad taste in my mouth.</p>

<p>^^ What?? Obama does gain more support from educated people. Exit polls in California showed that the more educated people were, the more strongly they voted for Obama. The difference between Obama and Hillary voters was greatest for those with graduate degrees. The opposite difference (Hillary minus Obama) was greatest for high school dropouts. How is that statement arrogant? It's a recount of factual information.</p>
