Educate Me...

I really thought New Hampshire was a fluke, but here comes Michigan. Another win for Hillary.

I will totally admit to being farther right than left when it comes to politics. An elephant wins over a donkey almost every time in my book. I'm not debating that (really...I'm not...let's not go there...thou shalt be ignored).

But Hillary Clinton? We want a female president and she's the best we can do?

First off, this claim she's making of 30 years of political experience...um. I don't think being married to a politician counts as "experience," per se. She's a fine lawyer. She's a great lawyer--I'll even go that far. Absolutely. But elected official? More like a handful of years than several decades. She's practically a freshman on Capitol Hill.

Serious question: Why are people so enamored of this woman? I watch her and all I can think is "used car saleswoman." We think she's a bitch; she goes on television and cries to prove that estrogen really does inhabit her body. We think she's cold; she flies back in front of the camera and hams it up with Tyra Banks.

I've been told she's strong. But respectfully, I disagree. In fact, I think she's not much of a role model for my daughter on a personal front. How many years has she turned her head to her husband's infidelity? That's not someone who commands respect--he certainly doesn't respect her. And even if she's staying with him to further herself (which I think is a strong possibility), what does that say about her own confidence in making it as a Rodham instead of a Clinton? (Did you notice, by the way, that the "Rodham" she was so adamant about when her husband was campaigning has vanished? *poof*)

Leave him behind for a moment. What has she accomplished? On her own? Besides a lot of talk? I hear her everywhere...I just don't hear people telling me what she as a person (as opposed to a spouse) has actually done that merits the White House and leader of the free world position.

So as I see it, we have this chameleon before the cameras who's ridden someone else's coattails to this point...and it's working. All I can do is shake my head and wonder.

I hope we do have a female president someday. And I hope it's a strong woman with strong ethics and morals, strong ideas, and the ability to affect change on her own.

If I'm wrong about ole' Hil, tell me why. Please...
