    I know she was elected to Congress & was SOS, but what has she actually accomplished other than being in a position? Did she really accomplish any milestones for the country or for the district in NY that elected her? Was she a key player at anytime involving any issue, other than her failed HC push 15/16 years ago? If so, please share what that, because I sure don't remember it.
    Now granted, she might be more qualified than Obama to be president, but that's setting the bar extremely low, so lets not go there. Just tell why you believe Hillary Clinton is the best candidate for president. Since it seems like she's a shoe in for the dem's, I'm curious as to why?

    She has driven true patriots droolbonkers for over 20 years. That should count for a lot.

    She's female and successful in politics (because of her husband) and we should vote for her because female.

    In short, nothing I can think of.

    I think her legal career was unremarkable, and her only skill lies in being a politician, that being participating in the backroom deals, the tit for tat, the trial by press.

    Other than that, I can not think of anything.

    She was the only woman in Washington DC for eight years that President Clinton wasn't trying to screw.

    Then again, if she is so obviously unaccomplished and unworthy then what does that say about the Grumpy Old People who can't find anyone who can come within shoutin' distance of her? Kind of hard for y'all to take your country back if Hillary's kickin' your butt down the street.

    regardless when she and her husband were in the white house things were good, many will vote for her just on that thinking alone

    Even if I were a democrat, I'd never vote for her.

    And if she's the best the Democrats have to offer, then I think the conservatives have a strong chance to win the presidency next time around.

    But I think that there will be a different candidate, one that is more qualified to run the country.

    Hillary Clinton was an excellent Senator and an excellent Secretary of State.

    Nobody has more impressive political experience in the USA.

    You need a lot more than just political experience.

    For example, what about military knowledge in case of armed conflict? She has none of that? And would she uphold the constitution in certain cases in a fair and objective manner rather than letting her feminist beliefs influence her?

    It was he party's proposal of the health care package that Obamacare is based on.

    How would she create jobs and improve the economy?

    Many other questions to boot.

    But I found this which does answer some of my questions:

    Lol, but why can no one list her accomplishments then? It's pretty ridiculous stuff. She was in campaign mode the entire time as a Senator and as SOS and the result is she has seemingly nothing she can point to that she doesn't need to run away from in the next Democratic primary.

    Good job Hillary on:
    DOMA,
    Supporting the Iraq war,
    the travel ban on people with AIDS,
    who knows how much other stuff she did back when she was pretending to be center-right instead of pretending to be the left's new scion by virtue of her gender.

    And I, in turn, have always admired stormfront as a hotbed of intellectual ferment and erudition.

    Hillary for 8 years should pretty much be the final nail in the Ozzie'n'Harriet coffin.

    When exactly did she "kick butt"? She had to move to a liberal haven to get elected to the Senate and she had to count on her husbands corruption to get her elected even there. So, tell, in your fantasy world, where did she ever "kick butt"?

    It should be obvious - assuming you are a native English speaker - that I'm speaking in the future tense. Of course, your sour grapes indicate she might kicked some true patriot butt in the past as well. Har! How about making a little wager about 2016? I bet 500$ to the organization of your choice that if she runs she'll beat whatever GOPer is offered up as a sacrificial lamb. Of course if I ( and she) win you donate 500$ to the organization of my choice - which would be the New Black Panthers.

    List what she has accomplished. Just saying she was an excellent Senator and Sec of State is meaningless.

    I'm sorry, Nat. I didn't realize you didn't know what future tense is. "Kind of hard for y'all to take your country back if Hillary's kickin' your butt down the street."

    That's present tense, Nat. But, I understand. You posted crap so you're tap dancing around the piles. Your offer to wager is cute and up to your normal standards but I would never bet a Democrat. You can't trust them to pay their debts.

    So, let me know when, and if, you get an example of Hillary kicking any butt besides Bill's. I assume you can remember a totally unqualified, totally incompetent, totally inexperienced young man who kicked her butt in the Democrat primary.

    Sen. Obama got elected by running against President Bush who, of course, wasn't running. I suspect the next presidential election will pit President Obama against a relatively conservative Republican.

    She said she baked some cookies once. She handled a $1,000 investment and made $100,000 in ten months.
