Hillary's Arrogance

[MannyIsGod]

Woman running for president is characterized as arrogant. Male running for president is characterized as bold, confident, assertive. You'll never convince me that in a race where Trump gets to stand up there and blame her for her husbands infidelities while not commenting on his own that there isn't a ton of sexism and misogyny at play. From all accounts of those who have known her, Hillary is incredibly smart and takes a big interest in the actual nuts and bolts of the policies she advocates for. Do I think she's a good person? Absolutely. Spurstalk has always been an incredibly sexist environment - even more so than racist which is saying something - so it doesn't surprise me that most here have a bad view of her. And thats fine. But this threads le, in and of itself, is extremely telling. Same was said about Obama, though. I guess when women and black men get uppity, there's always gonna be a brave soul on the internet ready to call them on it.

Lol holy a Manny sighting

Sup Manny? You ready to watch Hurricane Matthew whip the Caribbean?

[Splits]

Damn, Manny busting out... guess he finished checking out sex tape...

[Dirk Oneanddoneski]

Yeah, so pro-Shillary idiots can say 'see she's not that bad'.

Are you #JillnotHill now?

[RandomGuy]

Well, her lies and flip flops can be found with a quick search. As far as the corruption, it's a world neither you nor I are a part of. So no, I don't have anything concrete there. It doesn't take a genius to realize why she won't release her speech transcripts though. Or the emails. Or why she's receiving large donations to her 'foundation' from shady governments and individuals. Or that the Rich pardon probably included a large payoff. The list goes on. You don't build an empire through 'public service' by being clean. Look at Bernie, his net worth was estimated at like $250k, that's what being an honest politician gets you.

If it is "easy" then you should be able to provide a list of better caliber than what ducks can do.

Don't really care about the emails. Stupid, but not really a fatal flaw.

I think no small part of the visceral reaction to Hillary has been because she is a woman. I see her coming under criticism that no man would.

Does that apply to me - shouldn't I be rah-rah-ing over the first female president?

Anyone want to take a stab at which type of logical fallacy this is?

[Reck]

outside of Reck, pretty sure there is unanimous consent by all liberals on this board that we already hate her. We just recognize that the world as we know it doesn't end if she's elected.

rolf.

I just dont concern myself with how the Clinton's decide to live their lives. What kind of sits there crying about what they're doing? If it's not harming my way of life or the United States where i live, why would I give a about how she earns money?

Did Bill not get pretty much the same treatment?

And God damn, now this:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-1...ide-agreements

At what point does all this smoke not make some of her supporters think, "Hmmmmm. There might be some fire here." Trying to justify a vote for her without mentioning her opponent being a greater evil is impossible, IMO. I can appreciate voting against Donald. I can't understand voting FOR her. And Vice Versa.

[101A]

and how the is this related to her being a woman?!?

[boutons_deux]

"all this smoke"

... has been for 25+ years ALL FROM THE Repub/VRWC SMOKE MACHINE. It seems like you "do inhale"

The false-equivalence defense of Trash's grifting, fraud, theft, tax evasion, stiffing investors and workers, etc, that says Hillary is just as bad" is total bull .

The nation of Haiti calls bull on you and your ilk. Trumps grift is nowhere near as bad as Hitlery's complete robbery and denial of aid to an impoverished nation that just had a catastrophic natural disaster ruin their entire country, then to have the Clinton Foundation and their packs of hyenas that paid to rip their pieces from that carcass, is just satanic.

Go ahead and try and downplay your side, but sorry that you are cool with the complete and utter destruction of a 3rd world nation due to exploitation to create a slush fund they predatorily stole from those poor Haitan victims.

The entire investigation was a sham from the start. WH and DOJ told the FBI nothing will come of this. Comey's hands were tied from the start and I think he is leaking this to show how corrupt it all is from the top down, it is all he can do at this point.

I went and looked this up and the first two sites I found were Sputnik.com and the nationalreview.

Why won't she release her speech transcripts? Her emails? Why the connections to shady individuals and regimes? What was up with the Rich pardon? The leaked DNC emails that showed bias against the great Bernard Sanders? How did they manage to build an empire through public service? That's just her character. As far as her political record goes, she's best known for supporting a disastrous trade agreement and war.

She's a candidate with a repulsive personality that has gotten by on name recognition and her vagina. Take away the Clinton last name and give her a set of balls and nobody would give a about her.

Why else would she stay with that serial philanderer?

One wonders why Melania is staying with Trump as well?

After all, the dude is on his third marriage.

Where's the proof or even hints that he's cheating on Melania?

Doesn't have to be cheating on her at the moment for him to be a women philanderer. The fact that he's had multiple marriages already speaks to that.
