The news is not like its viewers. It is not ageist, racist, nationalist, what have you. The news loves EVERYONE because everyone can be exploited for their benefit.
So, it's discussion time in my government class, right? On this particular occassion, we're talking about the candidates from each party when one of my classmates chirps up with 'I won't vote for Hillary because I don't want a PMSing woman starting wars because she feels bloated'. Another female student, of course. While I also don't feel like Hillary would be a good president, that's not my reason. The news tends to portray her as a waffler, and while I know not to trust everything the news says, it can't be discounted all the time. I'd like a candidate who's stands firm on what they believe in, but know that there's room for compromise, which is why Bush's steadfast support of the War in Iraq has always bothered me. We're past the time where we can be as stubborn as mules to get what we want. But we're not pass the time where we can just sit back and shrug indifferently. We have to stand firm, but flexible.
*insert immature giggles here*
Ah, so. Anyone got some nice sites about the democratic candidates? Time to brush up. <3

I don't like Hillary because she is a rampant socialist. Not to mention Whitewater.
I don't pay too much attention to the different Democrat candidates, as I am a conservative. The only Democrat I'd likely vote for is Zell Miller, who retired and won't run.
As it is, I feel that too many of the Republican candidates are too liberal. Just 10 years ago, half of them would be considered Democrats by their stances.
I think for a liberal who is a bit annoyed at how far to the left the democrats are moving, Rudy would be a good option. He is pro-life, pro-gun control, and very liberal on a whole host of social issues, but still maintains enough of a conservative stance to want to make sure the terrorists don't strike us again. (Heck, he's for Amnesty and an open border.)
Frankly, of all the reasons to not like Hillary, that she gets "PMSy" isn't really a decent enough reason.... That's like saying that a bald guy shouldn't be president because he would lose too much heat through his head to maintain a war in the winter.
lawl at that last statement.
And isn't Rudy pro-choice?
pro choice, pro gun control, pro open borders, pro amnesty... he's Liberman with an R after his name.
He's come out and tried to distance himself from his actions as mayor, except to note that he was there for 9/11, he returned a saudi check and he lowered crime while he was mayor.
Frankly, there's no reason why a non-socialist democrat can't vote for Rudy.
Which is, of course, why he's too liberal for me.
I know a pilot in the Air Force who had the "privilege" of being around Hillary. He told me that she was a real...well you know. He said that she acted disgusted to be in the presence of the troops or anyone lower than her. If anyone lower than her spoke to her, she would throw a fit. This pilot is prepared to retire if she is elected. He said that he would not serve under her rule. Being an Air Force guy myself, I really hope that she doesn’t get elected. I can’t imagine that the military will do very well under her.
Tabias-
When her husband was president, the military was hit hard...
It was also horridly misused to cover up for his diddling of interns and rape trial hearings.
