I'd say it is a mix between sexism and that she's a Clinton.<br /><br />And, just so there is no ambiguity, I most definitely believe that comparing Mrs Clinton to any Republican candidate is like comparing a howitzer to a nerf dart gun. She is just so much..more.Jim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368704961077326796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-52851377481505429012016-02-09T02:12:16.881-06:002016-02-09T02:12:16.881-06:00@Jim James - Hillary Derangement Disorder goes way...@Jim James - Hillary Derangement Disorder goes way back to Bill's first term and, in my humble opinion, (as a female member of the human species) is totally due to sexism. Why? Because I'm also a professional of about the same age and have experienced a hell of a lot of that myself. The media went nuts when she was First Lady and she implied that maybe her thoughts on policy were more important than her cookie recipes and they haven't stopped since. I'm not with Hillary on all of her positions but she's head and shoulders above any of the clown car denizens that the Rethugs ae throwing out. I like Bernie but don't think he can win a national election. Never the less, as you said, whoever is the Dem candidate is the person I will vote for because the Rethugs are out of control and I, frankly, want my country back.

Speaking f...As a Sanders supporter I agree 100%. <br /><br />Speaking for myself, I don't think Mrs Clinton is some form of awful monster or anything like that. I do believe she is a little close to Wall Street for my taste and am not certain she has the appetite for the radical changes I think that this country needs. However, that isn't why I'm not supporting her.<br /><br />The reason I'm supporting Bernie is because I've noticed that a significant number of people have a visceral dislike of Mrs Clinton, something which people don't seem to have for Mr. Sanders.<br /><br />Now, you might point out that Mr Sanders is a socialist and therefore nobody will vote for him.<br /><br />I would say to this that you would have been correct as little as 8 years ago. The problem is that the GOP has used the word "socialist" as an insult so often that it no longer has any real meaning. At this point it is like calling someone you don't like a "poopy head".<br /><br />With that said, if it comes down to Mrs Clinton vs anyone in the GOP field I will vote and stump for her without hesitation or regret.Jim Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04368704961077326796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-74716963559636432872016-02-07T19:07:49.013-06:002016-02-07T19:07:49.013-06:00OK, I have avoided getting to know anything about ...OK, I have avoided getting to know anything about Hugh Hewitt, so I came to the viewing of this clip a complete naif.<br />His spiel and Rubio's performance are very very reminiscent of a totalitarian culture [such as that exemplified in the fairytale "The Emperor's New Clothes"] where the party line is repeated over and over in the face of the obvious reality because that is what loyal apparatchiks do if they know what's good for them. Orwell repeatedly addressed this requirement of always hewing to the latest party line and, more importantly, knowing what the latest party line is. Wake up and smell the blossoming fascism.<br />Rubio is now the establishment Golden Child and, like Kim Jong Un, one must celebrate his divine magnificence. It is only a question of time before we learn, in addition to his above-human-understanding debate strategy of repeating the same 25 words over and over, that he got to the U.S. by swimming from Cuba when he was only four.bowtiejackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269786110593961195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-72955116253099636842016-02-07T18:12:40.027-06:002016-02-07T18:12:40.027-06:00My 17-year old daughter inexplicably insisted I wa...My 17-year old daughter inexplicably insisted I watch the latest GOP debate so we did and it began with a hilarious, if inadvertent, mock of sad sack JEB! As he kept thinking he was going to be introduced next and wasn't. After that, it was the usual tedious ratfucking and name-calling until the next hilarious exchange between Rubo and Chris Crisco. I was actually astonished since, while I.knew Rubio was a dumb funk, I didn't realize he was just a really badly-programmed robot. That multiple exchange was really bizarre.
