Hillary Is Hip

Hillary Rodham Clinton is one hip chick.

You know – there were a lot of hip people in the 1960s.

A woman’s voice in an all-male club.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.

<<<>>>

Stealing things – like elections!

And crossing state lines with the intent to incite a riot.

<<<>>>

Radical, not simply reformist.

No friend of Ronald Reagan , she.

This is the Sixties scene that influenced Hillary.
Pretty cool if you ask me.

NB – The inclusion of persons living or dead in this diary does not in any way suggest that they or their heirs support the presidential campaign of Hillary Rodham Clinton.

•  Just Tired -

  •  so you contribute more

    to the endless stream of Obama-bashing that comes from your camp and dominates the rec-list on this site?

    I have no problem with people defending their candidates, but don't be a hypocrite about it.

  Hillary was a Goldwater Girl.

•  Hillary -

  Left the Republican Party in disgust.
  Certainly a long, long time before people like Jim Webb.

  Been a long time, been a long time,
  Been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time.

  •  Now she's leaving the Democratic Party in disgust

    Well, at least the Liberal wing.

•  is this snark?

  Hillary hip? A hip chick would have dropped out and hit the road, gotten thrown in jail for protesting the war, and lived on a commune. Now, a Prudent, Calculating chick (PC, get it?) is more like it.

  But hey, it's her time to shine, and all the postmenopausal chicks who will vote her in can rejoice. It won't be so bad, and I'm adjusting already. I expect nothing from her, for starters, while I would have had high expectations for Edwards, because he ACTUALLY TOOK ON THE BROKEN AND CORRUPT SYSTEM.

  Sorry for yelling. It's a sort of tourettes
  syndrome I picked up over the LAST SEVEN YEARS, these outbursts.

  So gO hIllARY!

  •  Excuse me? Postmenopausal chicks?

    Like, fuck you. Sorry, but maroons like you make this woman of a certain age take a second look at Clinton.

    Clinton is that most cronish of all cronish things, an ambitious woman. You go, girlfriend. You're not quite progressive enough to get my primary vote, but you bet your ass I'll vote for you with gusto in the general election.

    Imagine someone saying "And all those men with a hard time getting it up voting for ------------" (Could be anyone--starting in their forties, many men start having this difficulty more and more frequently, most often due to atherosclerosis and diabetes, as well as emotional reasons. If you're among this number, get a full checkup for heart disease, etc...)

    Any woman over 50 is postmenopausal--why do you use the word in this context?

    The subtext is, it's the state of your cunt/womb that's your defining characteristic. Something bitter, dried up, and "unprogressive" is the only thing that draws voters to Clinton.  

    Go fuck yourself, son, and pray for the day when at least one postmenopausal chick will give you the time of day. Hillary Clinton, ambitious crone that she is, has dedicated herself to public service for her entire life, starting with her early work for the Children's Defense Fund. You might want to take a look at your knee-jerk disgust...

    So uncorrect, so "I know I'll regret it in the morning," but oh it feels good....

    •  No, I think you said it all,

      speaking as a post-menopausal woman, who happened to vote for Obama but doesn't see Clinton as the end of the world. I do think she'll need to work her NY magic pretty hard if we are going to get a good majority in the general, though.

    •  say sexist things I will vote for the war monger

      This is the logic I have been seeing. Attack the woman who married a class A example of a sexist pig so she could get a shot at the oval office and I will have to vote to continue the war. Really bright.

  •  Sorry, but I came back to this comment

    specifically to give you a TR for that postmenopausal chicks statement. I'm seriously offended by that kind of sexist garbage.

    I almost never TR anyone, but you made me steam with that insult to women above a certain age. I'd like to wring your sexist/ageist neck (metaphorically, anyway). That's how offended I am.

    On second thought, fuck you! THAT's how offended I am.

      and move to the UAE, where they treat their women as serfs. What an assh*le!

  That once there was a spot,

  For one brief shining moment

  That was known as Camelot.

•  too bad the 80's corporate scene intervened

  
  And those me-first boomer values turned everyone from hippies to yuppies. No wonder she recently listed Ronald Reagan as one of her "favorite presidents."

  No friend of Reagan, indeed. I think the word you're looking for is "idol."

  •  Which board does that happen to be?

    As a woman who in the eighties often found herself in a parallel situation (only woman and one of the youngest in a group with the power to make decisions) I can tell  you it is a lonely place to be, but you can sometimes change directions because you are not lost in the crowd.

    •  Well, she certianly proves that.

      Young Republican --> Young Democrat --> Not so young Democrat --> Old Republican

      •  Hip Hillary is a Sell-out

        with 35 years of experience in globalist warmongering.

  •  Better re-read the report. She did NOT list

    Reagan as one of her favorite presidents. Do try to be accurate, okay? And your sig line? Just the kind of thing public figures say when someone like Reagan dies, and you choose to pick that one line out of a lifetime of utterances? Just goes to show that the refusal to be reality-based is not confined soley to the Republican party.

    by tigerdog on Sun Jan 20, 2008 at 05:45:13 AM PDT

    •  they know it's inaccurate.

      the nevada results have sent them into panic mode. they are truly, truly desperate.

      and the reason they're looking at hillary like that is that they SO want to borrow that outfit ;-)

    •  refusal to be reality-based?

      I'm just demonstrating your hypocrisy over the Reagan comments which is perfectly evident.

    •  Stroszsek must be on amphetamines judging

      by the amount of drivel that pepper his/her posts.

  God you people mindset is so embeded in your own experiences you can not even understand the perspectives others not in your exclusive country cub. Please stop with the skin privilege
