By virtue that my husband, a Marine....
Led a combat Platoon and a combat Company (TWO tours) in Viet Nam and a combat Battalion in Beirut, I am now, qualified to lead Marines in Iraq ?

To tell you the truth, I'd rather run for President :patriot:

5. I delegate wisely, and always on a tight budget.....
maybe not. Free healthcare for all :D It finally makes sense, field officers are paid well below their civilian peers, and you're not only considered a hero, but your medical benefits are FREE !

Catchawave For President :patriot:

16. The curse of gubmint work
Underappreciated, ridiculed, paid 60% of the going market rate, but at least the benes are good. Well, they used to be, before the Repubs started running most of the gov't.

3. Ohhh, I get it.
This is an insinuation that Hillary is not qualified to run since her only "qualification" is by virtue of her husband.

Right, she has no law degree and no experience in the Senate. In fact, she has no merits of her own. She is just a "woman", just a "wife", after all.

7. I "got" the sexist insinuation. I don't happen to agree,
But, opinions are like assholes - everyone has one, and everyone thinks everybody elses stinks.

8. I know a lot of people with law degrees, and the Senate, sigh,
"..is where smart people go to die" - Jon Stewart

Seriously, I don't think Hillary is qualified to run for President. Would we be having this cyber discussion if her husband wasn't Bill Clinton?

10. of course we wouldn't
but that's because we're all sexists, and products of a patriarchal society.
