Perhaps it's a comfort factor to think, "Oh, the father is a great doctor or lawyer so the daughter or son will also be great."<BR/><BR/>I know of Hillarys many accomplishments and strengths through finding out what the people who work with her think - I mentioned Rep Charlie Rangel as one of these in the article.<BR/><BR/>There are others that one can google and BTW, one of the strongest recomendations for her comes from the Republican Senators who have frequently commented on her knowlege of material, her ability to present it and her willingness to work hard. Those voices are out there for anyone who is not so prejudiced against women that they won't bother to look. Much of this may come up in the debates, who knows? Unfortunately the media is only looking for sex and scandal. Thanks for your temperate and reasoned opinion.gendergappershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607028861861443195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16525134.post-86643278221275272062007-04-06T12:55:00.000-07:002007-04-06T12:55:00.000-07:00Why is it that only in politics do we think that w...Why is it that only in politics do we think that way? No-one would claim that being married, or the son of an engineer makes one an experienced engineer, or being married to, or the son of a Doctor entitles one to write prescriptions, but somehow we think that being married to a President, or being the son of one, makes them experienced executives. It does not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16525134.post-82625947005888198622007-04-06T11:54:00.000-07:002007-04-06T11:54:00.000-07:00Bush was Governer of Texas, and yes he got there b...Bush was Governer of Texas, and yes he got there by riding his fathers coat-tails, but by the same token Hillary rode her husbands coat-tails to get elected Senator. Do you seriously think she would have had a chance otherwise? <BR/><BR/>And just what is this "long list of accomplishments?" She rode her husbands coat-tails into the Senate and now she's trying to do the same thing into the Presidency. <BR/><BR/>BTW, where did my first comment go? Did you delete it because it disagrees with your position? If so then that shows the level of honesty your blog portrays.Mystylplxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10083234633848265277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16525134.post-73571347160516925992007-04-06T11:00:00.000-07:002007-04-06T11:00:00.000-07:00Thanks for your response, Scott, however you seem ...Thanks for your response, Scott, however you seem to have some of your facts incorrect - perhaps because you have let your dislike of Hillary Clinton [fed by the right wing] to influence you. First, she has a long list of accomplishments and has risen on her own merits to be a 2x elected Senator. You don't get that by marriage unless your spose is in office and dies. What we want to teach our daughters is that women are capable of being president. One need only to look at Bush and the horrible mess he has made, who did get the office because of his father. Bush had no merits on his own, in fact he was a failure and went AWOL instead of his duty.gendergappershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06607028861861443195noreply@blogger.com
