Why I Don't Want Hillary

This one could get ugly in a hurry so I’ll keep it short. There are two pretty simple reasons why I’m dreading her run. The biggest one is that both sides are going to engage in euphoric recall/vilification about the Clinton presidency of the ‘90s. It’s over man, let it go. Nothing in the way of progress is going to occur while we spend a lot of wasted time arguing about things that happened 10 years ago. Hillary would be only too happy to let this happen, as it would allow her to avoid the hard questions. Hillary is to the right was Dubya is to the left: A two-legged shitstorm with a magical ability to bring out the worst in half the country. After 14 years I’m thoroughly tired of absolutist, blood sport, in-your-face trench warfare. Second reason: She’s not her husband. Love him or hate him, you have to admit he could give a speech and work the charm. Hillary’s got none of that. She comes off like a pinched and pissed off headmistress at a school for insolent children. And please don’t give me that bullshit about needing a woman president. It’s not about your race or gender, it’s about your politics. There’s an easy way to test that “we need a woman” president crap. Ask the issuer of that statement if they would support Ann Coulter if she ran. I didn’t think so. My objections are the same for both male and female presidents. I’d like to see one that isn’t bathed in the blood of partisan politics. I wonder if this country will ever produce another Teddy Roosevelt or FDR?

If this doesn’t get Athena out from under the pile on her desk I don’t know what will.
