Opinion of Hillary Clinton

[Deus Naturae]

The misogyny and gender double-standards are strong in this thread...

A Machiavellian, scheming, self-centred person and because of these qualities, a perfect person for the White House

Of course those are only negative qualities when we're talking about female politicians.  

Um, no? When are those qualities used positively to describe male politicians?

It's really amazing how True Leftists will shift over to the Right Wing position on a dime when it's convenient to attack Clinton.

What are you even talking about? Considering a candidate's record on the Iraq War to be a critical issue and saying that Bush shouldn't have been trusted is the "right-wing" position?

You're shifting blame for the Iraq war from Bush and Cheney to the "incompetence of the intelligence community" and disparaging Clinton for suggesting that there was a "right wing conspiracy" to make the war happen. As if the Iraq war was an accident that we just bumbled into due to honest bureaucratic mistakes? Come on.

That's just a ridiculous strawman. People who give Clinton a hard time for supporting the Iraq War don't think the war was an "honest mistake"...if they did, why would they be attacking Clinton for supporting it!?
