Many may like Hillary because of her take on the issues, and because she stands against a field of Republicans without the means to defeat her.
The argument for seems to be that votes don't count unless they are Republican votes. This is inherently anti democratic and might explain why voters have rejected Republican candidates in favor of Obama.
You argument also seems to recognize that Hillary is the front runner in spite of many different Republican candidates who oppose her.
No. If Obama had lost then it would have been because he's half white. But he won, so it is because he's half black.
The only reason people vote for Obama was because he's half black. It was the "in thing" to do. They voted for him because of the novelty. A curiosity. An experiment. And just when I had hoped people could recognize a failed experiment, they turn around and want to conduct another experiment that's doom to fail miserably.
It's not so much that they're losers as that most college students are flaming liberals too lazy to do some critical thinking and realizing that voting for a candidate JUST because she's a woman implies they are just as sexist as the people they demonize as sexist.
Well college is supposed to teach critical thinking skills and most college professors tend to have pretty good credentials in that area.
So, I don't think that just because you disagree with their position that you can claim liberal college students lack critical thinking skills.
Maybe you could give me some position held by liberals that you believe to be irrational and could discuss it. But even then we'd have to do that for a whole variety of topics keeping track of when you were right and wrong before you could justifiably say that the the liberal position is mostly a result of lazy thinking.
In fact your unsupported generalization opens you to the exact charge you are leveling against liberals.
You know what fosters critical thinking in colleges? The math and sciences. You know what degree some of these kids are getting? Liberal arts, women's studies, English Literature, etc. The most demanding thing those courses require is for you to memorize a bunch of facts and use proper grammar. And they even fail the grammar part!
Pffft. You, sir, are talking to someone who is college emeducated. I was taking a woman's studies once and I quickly realized that if I just regurgitated the professor's crap, I would get an A. No critical thinking involved.
They voted for Obama because of what he promised them not the color of his skin. It doesn't matter the race of a person, if you make a good enough reason for people to vote for you they will.
And the reason Obama "failed so miserably" is because the republicans do not want to pass any of the changes he wants to make. Its not that he isn't trying, they just aren't letting him.
They even go so far as to make deals with other countries behind his back.(x)
People voted for him because they were like, "Oh, look. A black man running for president. How cool would that be if he won? We've never had a black president before. If we vote for him it will show how progressive we are as a country."
And then he went in there and forced nationalized health insurance on us and a bunch of other liberal stuff we didn't want.
Did you know what else Romney would not have done? Passed gay marriage rights. He is Homophobic with the most average cis white male views I have seen in a while. I for one would not want someone who does not support the equality for everyone running my country. And apparently more than half of America agrees because Obama one twice. If they had truly believed all the crap that was dropped on him on his first term they would not have re-elected him.
And Obama only did the nationalized health care to help anyone that did not have enough for regular health care. Obama is trying to help, he actually cares about our nation. Romney would have just played America like a monopoly.
And I meant running. If the president of a free country decides not everyone in the country should receive the same rights, I would not want them as president. Obama won twice because he is helping America get equal marriage rights for everyone. He really cares.
And the only reason people DID NOT vote for Obama was because he was BLACK, see the door swings both ways, Oh and P.S Angelina Jolie is a flaming Liberal
The country is looking for a change and just because Obama didn't completely satisfy everyone's needs, doesn't mean that the country wants a man of any type to continue as President. Obama did get in because he's black and a change from white leadership was desired. This change desire is why Hillary will win, she is not a man. Just like Obama is not white.
I know she is going to win because she is a woman. I wouldn't really mind if people could support why they prefer her over the other candidates, but using her sex as a way to decide whether she is qualified or not is quite ://.
I want to judge who should run our country on what good change they can bring, not on their genitalia.
Yup, I want a Chic, reason to piss off the conservatives, what I really wish for is a Atheist Mexican American Lesbian for president with a black skinned Muslim women for a wife but Hillary will have to do at least for now, after all the average age of the Fox News conservative is something like 73 years of age so I'll just have to wait for those bigots to die off so maybe by 2030 I might get my wish : )
Barack Obama won his presidency because many people wanted an African-American to be elected into office, ignoring political beliefs, ideologies, etc. Hillary can pull it off because I am almost sure those same people who wanted to make history and elect the first black president in US history, will want to elect the first female president in US history.
