    She can never win the actual election, only undermine her own party now. Surely that's obvious ?

    I am not so confident. Almost every woman I know says they'll vote for her just because she is female. Also, many Republican and Democrat men will vote for her because she is a woman. She will also get a lot of votes from minorities. Not to mention that the Democrat party always votes its ticket no matter what. So even if they hate her, most demos will vote for her. I think she may have a real good chance of winning. Everyone said Bill didn't have a chance either, but he won. (One of the big reasons he won is because women who knew nothing of politics voted fo him because they thought he was "cute" :P Another is because he had foriegn funding...which Hilary may be getting indirectly...)

    I was under the impression that this was explicitly forbidden (wich is probably why you said "indirectly")
    Care to elaborate?

    I'm so glad I can't vote now. Between a party of arseholes and a party of arseholes, I might have to kill myself.

    People in the U.S. (now U.S. citizens, owning U.S. companies (which in reality are nothing but branches of foriegn companies), will donate to the democratic party if she wins the primaries. (several biggies have promised to do so, and others were involved directly or inderectly in funding Bill, and will probably fund her. The less said about that the better...)
    In other words, U.S. citizens and companies doing other countries bidding.

    You have to wonder, if it is in another countries best interests for a canidate to win, is it really in ours? (esp. a competing super power like China...)

    That does not make too much sense. Either the US citizens are owning these ominous companies you talk about, or they are branches of foreign companies.

    In other words, U.S. citizens and companies doing other countries bidding.
    Again - what is it? Foreign companies or foreign countries? The interests of foreign companies are not necessarily the same as those of foreign countries.

    How about getting a bit more specific?

    Well if history is any indicator she will carry all those principal Democratic strongholds, you know, the ones where the dead are the major voting block.

    Major Dem. candidates:

    Senator Hillary Clinton - New York
    Senator Barak Obama - Illinois
    Former Senator John Edwards - North Carolina (Kerry's running mate in 2004)
    Senator Joe Biden - Delaware

    Major Republican candidates:

    Senator John McCain - Arizona
    Former New York City Mayor Rudi Giuliani
    Former Governor Mitt Romney - Mass.
    Senator Chuck Hagel - Nebraska
    Former Governor George Pataki - New York

    There's a bunch of bit player wannabes from both parties, Reverend Al "Shake down Whitey" Sharpton, Newt Gingrich, General Wesley Clark are the only ones with any name recognition at all, but they don't really stand a chance.

    McCain's chances got slimmer since he has backed Dubya's recent surge decisions for Iraq. I think he was the Republicans best chance, but probably not now. Hagel doesn't back the surge, and said so publically, and he's not the only Republican Party member either, Bush is dangerously close to losing the majority backing of his own party. Hagel is definitely the best darkhorse candidate. Rudi has local appeal, but no chance, same for Romney, and Pataki's a joke his own party likes him less than Bush. As my governor for the last decade I probably hate him more than his party. hehehe

    Hillary, no thank you. Obama is interesting, but I don't know that much about him, yet. Biden, can't recall much of anything worthwhile about him. Edwards, blah.

    I wanted McCain in place of Dubya back in 2000, but he got back stabbed by his own party during the nomination process, Pataki helped kept him off the New York ballot.

    Don't know who I'll vote for now, we'll have to wait and see.

    When one is embarking on a tirade against "them" - the shadowy figures that control one's country (be it Japanese, Jews, whites, blacks or whatever) being specific doesn't help as then evidence might be required.

    Just know it's "them" and it's all their fault...
