Of course its silly youaremissed thats why I said it in relation to Hillary.
This much is clear from the debate and its aftermath: she does not take criticism or challenge well

How can she expect to be the frontrunner in a political debate and not have others go after her? She's so used to getting a free ride and being coddled by the press that she loses it at the first sign of opposition.
They did what is done in every situation to the frontrunner -- not because she is a woman, but because they have to be tough if they want to have any chance against a candidate who has been anointed by the press as the next president without a single thread of accomplishment to show in support of her candidacy.
For her to even suggest (and she did more than just suggest) that it has anything to do with her being a woman is an embarrassment to all women and a provides a good insight into her lack of backbone and character.
If you can't stand the heat you have a few options: suck it up and take it, fight back and force the temperature to be lowered, or get out of the kitchen.
Whining and complaining is not an option, and it's not the kind of character this country needs in a president.

She doesn't take criticism or challenge well? Every time I see Hillary's behavior described, I'm so struck by the similarity to Bush's behavior, I don't understand how Bush supporters can possibly dislike her (especially when you notice how many of his policies she supports).
As far as whining, the people who already like her will dismiss it, and it might make a few simpletons feel sympathy for her. She is cagily doing anything and everything that might possibly extend her support base, up to and including using the gender card. She is an ambitious politician and will do many things to try to garner every single vote she think she can muster, even if it's a sympathy vote.
The narrow 25% of the population who dislikes her intensely will sound off about something every time she makes a personal appearance, pointing out something they feel bolsters their opinion that she would make a poor President. Given the new CNN numbers that show only 25% of the people in this country still describe themselves as Republicans , or conservatives (interesting those are the same numbers, huh?), a moment's pique following a debate is certainly not going to knock her out of the race.
I wonder if some peoples' obsession with Hillary has the same underlying dynamic as that attributed to homophobes who are publickly vocally against homosexuality, while secretly excited by the idea.

DR-Hillary Boo Hoos after Debate Would you please show us in that article where it says she "boo hoos"? I read the entire thing and I didn't see that.
Hillary is not my choice but it gets tiresome seeing people constantly putting her down and accusing her of false things.
Jk- Democrats wasting time ganging up on a fellow Democrat... I suppose they havent gotten near enough practice rippin Republicans...yet. Good grief! What about what George Bush did to McCain? He tried to totally destroy him! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! That was mild compared to a lot of attacks that have happened.

The heading for the story has the boohoos in it.

Good grief! What about what George Bush did to McCain? He tried to totally destroy him! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black! Start another thread,this ones about Hillary's inability to take heat from members in her own party,it wasnt just one opponent.

You know my friend's husband is a Dentist.
If I had an abscessed tooth, think I would let her extract it?
This whole business of saying Hillary is somehow qualified because her husband did the job is absolutely ridiculous.
The important thing is HER ability to assume the position of the president and HER ability to withstand the tremendous pressures that go with the job.
And so far, she is batting ZERO.

That headline was from a commentary from a writer who posts on conservative websites. It's not "news", it's an opinion.

"I don't think they all piled up on me because I'm a woman, I think they all piled up on me because I'm winning"- Hillary Clinton
What her campaign does and what she says are two different things...her campaign is (wrongly) playing the "gender card".

Only problem with that theory is that her campaign does NOTHING without her complete control of every single detail.
That statement came only after she realized that the gender card ploy backfired. So she then did her typical flip flop to try to clean it up and revise history as if it never happened.

And Hillary is the only candidate that has ever flip flopped or corrected a mistake in order to make herself look better, right?

Who said that? Not me.
The only difference is that the Democrats have been selling themselves as the party of change.
So far, the only thing they have changed -- since they made all the promises about what they were going to do when they took over the Congress -- is to change Congress into the lowest approval rated Congress of all times.
Looks like more of the same flip flopping and broken promises with the Democrat presidential candidates for '08.

As an outsider, I will take the risk of voicing my opinion. I am not familiar with who the republican candidate is - but I'm certainly aware of Hillary and Obama.
Historically, the US/Cdn economies have done well when the countries have been run by a Democrat/Liberal leader. And traditionally, the economies have taken a nose-dive when run by Republican/Conservative leaders.
At this point, I do not see that America is ready for either a woman, or a black president - even though it may lead to an economic upswing. After all, you've got Pebbles and Bam Bam running for leadership!
(I won't comment on our "leader", but any of you are free to do so).

Your opinion is welcome. However...
Historically, the US/Cdn economies have done well when the countries have been run by a Democrat/Liberal leader. And traditionally, the economies have taken a nose-dive when run by Republican/Conservative leaders.
Your supporting facts for that statement please? With respect to the United States I believe this statement to be absurd. It's probably absurd with respect to Canada as well, but I am less familiar with Canadian economic history.
You must have a lot of knowledge about this subject to make such a sweeping statement. So I am wondering if you could quench my curiosity and simply name the last US Republican President under which the economy took a "nose-dive." I can easily name the last Democrat.
Thanks for helping me out.

DiamondRain....said this...." So I am wondering if you could quench my curiosity and simply name the last US Republican President under which the economy took a "nose-dive."....!!!!!!!!
Herbert Hoover....Stock Market Crash of 1929 pops into my head.....I guess you will blame that on Bill Clinton, too!
Also, Bill Clinton took us from being in the red following Reagonomics and "Read My Lips No New Taxes" Bush....to in the black...which your hero Dumbya Bush spent in three months on Corporate tax cuts!
anything else....there uh...fellah?

1929 huh ... why go back to ancient history when you have Jimmy Carter the Democrat who destroyed the US economy in the 1970s until President Reagan the Republican took over that mess and turned it around to an economic boom in the 1980s.
And how did Reagan do it? Through government DEregulation, reducing taxes and applying conservative economic principles.
