I wouldn't want to be the next voter to use that machine.

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

As a woman, what offends me about this whole thing is that Hillary did not do this on her own. If she hadn't been married to the POTUS, she never would have been elected Senator to any state, let alone one she lived in for a mere 15 minutes before declaring her candidacy. She wouldn't have run for POTUS in 2008. She wouldn't have been Secretary of State. And she wouldn't be a presidential candidate now. If your idea of a "role model" for women is someone using a husband as a launching pad for success, well, fail.

Carly Fiorina is a role model. So is Condaleezza Rice. So are any number of women. But not Hillary Clinton.

Precisely.  :hi5:

Liberal thinking is a two-legged stool and magical thinking is one of the legs, the other is a combination of self-loating and misanthropy.  To understand it, you would have to be able to sit on that stool while juggling two elephants, an anvil and a fragmentation grenade, sans pin.
