Or perhaps, too British.

I wonder, from an international/historic perspective, do we automatically think of Margaret Thatcher as a bitch? She seems too powerful for that moniker.

P.S. I couldn't resist on the "bitch" thing.

I think that's what worries me about that bitch. No one seems to have her back on anything.

Strikes me that with her we'd see something similar to the results of George Bush; where as in the end all the Republicans will use her as to why Dems shouldn't be in office and all the Democrats will stay away from her with the "the rest of us aren't like that" attitude, and in the middle is just a bunch of pissed off people who were either bitter since the beginning of her presidency and never gave her a chance or jumped on the anti-Hillary bandwagon because they're afraid to speak up for her, for fears that everyone will persecute them (i.e. watch how people that say "I support(ed) Bush" are treated by other people).

The next result is everyone waiting for 4 years to be up, bitching the entire time about how the current administration is responsible for every problem we've had for the past 40 years; which just furthers the gap with extreme Dems and Repubs, making moderacy that much harder to come by.

Not that I wouldn't support her, if elected, it's just...I don't know if I can take another term of the radicals out there, from either side.

I'm sort of up in the air about Hilary, myself. I would vote for her against any Republican, but it's her conservative side that bothers me, too.

Well, it's getting close to the first primaries and caucuses, and look! I haven't posted my analysis of the candidates yet. So I'll start a series of articles, starting with this one, about Hillary Clinton.

I'm going to start by saying that I usually call her Hillary, like most people do. And right off the bat, that bothers me a little bit, because in our patriarchal society, we tend to call women by their first names and men by their last names. The other candidates aren't known as "John, Barack, and Dennis"; it's "Edwards, Obama, and Kucinich". But we're kind of forced to call Clinton "Hillary", to distinguish her from her famous husband.
