I think it is about time we have female President!

I don't vote gender. Never have and never will. I vote on issues. I think Hillary is excellent on social issues and foreign policy issues. She has an excellent record of fighting for women's and children's rights and human rights in general. She has always been a tough fighter for her beliefs and has been in the trenches fighting throughout her career. Her record speaks for itself.

The manufactured "scandals" are total BS and everyone knows it.

She has the experience, optimism and intelligence to be a great President.

A lot of the criticism aimed at her is the same sexist, condescending BS we are all too familiar with.

Let's do this!

I feel the same way in every regard. About her foreign policy cred, I just read one of the regular Friday foia releases. Apparently, Peggy Noonan wrote something critical of Hillary not being at some meetings and someone in the WH wrote to Peggy in defense of Hillary. It is so ott glowing that I really enjoyed it. Maybe you will too.

It made me happy to see how eager they were to go to bat for her, and how easy it was, with all those successes! And that was only about a year and a half into her tenure.

All we hear about is the emails we won't see - and the bullshit leaks about them.

A few people have committed to reading these monthly downloads, and have had nothing but positive impressions about Hillary, her associates and staff, and the Obama administration.

But most often nothing positive about Hillary gets a headline.

The e-mail scandal is total bullshit. And other than RW republicans, nobody gives a damn about any of it.

That is beautiful, Cha!

Hillary will just build upon the Obama legacy.

And the Obama legacy has been excellent despite all the Rethug obstructions!

I really do believe she will be the next President. And she will be excellent.

All we have to do is vote.

And she has earned it.

She could have been a top-notch lawyer at a major firm making all kinds of money and retired by now.

She chose the path of public service.

And what a classy and beautiful First Lady she was!

I think she has her liberal credentials.

She protested with Gloria Steinem in the 70's. She was a huge anti-war activist during Vietnam. She got arrested along with Cindy Sheehan at an anti-war demonstration.

Hillary is her choice. Because "Hillary gets it done."
