Reply #219: let us not forget "dynastic" politics...

I for one am against her being in any public office, for the same reason that I'm against any Bush or Kennedy or Reagan, et al... Not because of her sex, but rather, because in our political system, (the way it was originally designed), it should be impossible to "inherit" office by virtue of noble birth. We have evolved far enough away from the founding father's intent that we now have an acknowleged, if un-offficial "nobility" class. (Sans any of the traditional "Nobless Oblige, alas.") I'm sorry that more "pro war" bush butt-lickin' democrats aren't handed a big ol shit sandwich, (God knows they all need to be force-fed super-sized portions, and bon apetit!), but I don't think it's misogyny so much as guilt by "noble" association that drives the animosity. House Clinton has been besmirched, but the good news is, so has House Bush. Hell, if a bunch of libs like us can't agree on her, she's positively political radioactive waste to the rest of America. Ugly but true. We've been so conditioned by corporate advertising and our addiction to conspicuous consumption, that name recognition counts for more than skill. Buy the brand name, generics aren't as good, right? Phugh...
