about women and baggage
She comes with a lot of baggage - we said.
And so we gave up on having Hillary Clinton as Our President.
Mostly we were thinking of her huband - Bill Clinton - our President -
and other Clinton issues.
But women do come with a lot of Baggage, don't they........?
I remember during the Democratic Presidential Debates - in 2008.
I wathced the Candidates and I saw what the problem is - and that
is that the men all pretty much looked alike.
A suit~A Tie~Their hair.
Sure - there were differences in height and weight - but they were
pretty much easily summed up in appearance.
Not so the woman - Hillary Clinton.~
This post is actually not about Hillary Clinton - but about any women
who might attempt to run for President and the baggage they carry.~
Her age and how Mother Nature has treated her - like wrinkles.~
Her makeup.~
Jewelry.~
Hair.~
How tall she was next to the men.~
Her voice.~
Her mannerisms.~
If she cried when the going got tough.~
If she was too feminine or masculine.~
If she had children - and was she taking care of them or not.~
What about her husband - what would we call him.~
and so on and so forth.~
With the men - it was so much easier - they pretty much only had a
carry on and not so much luggage.~
But of course now that carry on is going to cost them...
$100.

Sue,
A lot of people had a problem with Hilary Clinton's policy. People who value freedom were bothered by her determination to have health care decsions made by government burocracies rather than by individual citizens. I think it's a mischaracterization to summarize "We analyzed her ideas and rejected them based on their merit" as "We're not ready for a woman president."
Anonymous - I think that a lot of people were bothered by her past association with certain people.
Maybe rightfully so.
But I think Hillary could and would have been a good President for the United States.
We'll never know - will we.
