Okay, ladies, it's time to face reality.
.
Hillary offers a gender fixated upon by those who lust for it above all other features in a president, but one must consider the rest of the package.
.
There is very little in the way of personal accomplishment here that does not spring from her relationship with a former president, her husband. She went to school, she met a charming rascal, married him, became Mrs. Governor, then Mrs. President, then Senator CLINTON. So much for the advantages of family.
.
Then on her very own political watch, as a majority-opposition Democrat senator, voted to give a treacherous Republican president unprecedented war powers, then repeatedly voted to fund slaughter in the War of Lies. There may be more, but that's the flotsam of the resume I recall most vividly.
.
Each one of us is of course free to summon his/her (Oh the rhetoric of gender politics!) own sense of the personal qualities of one who would contest for the most powerful seat in the world. In this lady's case, I sense monumental ambition, an ambition that must be served above all else to place her person atop the marquee of world power.
.
Lady Macbeth surely would roll over in her grave as Hillary took the presidential oath.
.
Ladies, it's time to put away the stilettos, and if it's "femaleness" you must have in the Seat of Power, go and find yourselves another girl.
There are some, you know. Get us one who has actually accomplished something on her on merits, and someone we can believe in, someone we can trust. I'd vote for such a person, rather than to suffer again the bifurcated charade of a personality contest such as we can expect yet again this November.
.
But mind you, it will not be sufficient to posit that SHE is simply better than a Bush, Nixon, or Grant, or He-of-the-$400-Hairbob, but good on her own merits and in an arena beyond gender politics. And I must admit to hoping that she would at least occasionally allow us to see her in a dress.
.
.....And now I lay me down for the responsive storm.
