Americans Are Ready for a Female President. Finally.
The Daily Beast ^ | May 4 ,2013 | Eleanor Clift

Posted on 05/04/2013 5:42:08 PM PDT by Hojczyk

A new poll from Emily’s List shows an overwhelming number of voters now support the idea. It’s a movement the group hopes someone in the sisterhood is about to inherit.

Stephanie Schriock, president of Emily’s List, which raises money and works to elect pro-choice Democratic women, said she has no inside knowledge of what Clinton is likely to do, but there is widespread acceptance of a woman as president, and 72 percent of voters surveyed think it’s likely to happen in 2016. While Clinton gets mentioned most, there’s no guarantee she will run, which is why Emily’s List wants to “ignite the conversation” around an idea whose time has come, and build a movement that Clinton or another in the sisterhood can inherit.

The Democrats were the ones who threw their potential female candidate under the bus in 2008.

If all goes well Hillary will be in prison before the 2016 election.

Do you remember the same history I do? Chappaquiddick wasn’t even a major speed bump in Teddy’s evil career. Unless Issa can come up with something devastating about Benghazi the media can’t sweep under the rug, it’ll be forgotten by 2016.

That may be, but the fact is Palin ran first an aggressive and responsive Alaska governorship - then as VP candidate to Senator John McCain’s run for President before flirting with her own run last year.

Prior to the VP run, her approval was highest in the nation.

Palin has real qualifications.

see Nikki Haley once looked at a RINO so that disqualifies her to some here , never mind she won't allow Obamacare in her state etc. so they'll knock them out 1 by 1. we all need to get behind someone , 1 person and stick with her.

She's good enough for me so is Palin so all we have to do is see who is running.

in my post Nikki Haley is on the left in the blue suit and you all here should know Sarah is on the right

Sarah Palin supported Haley and both are tea partiers

Argumentum ad populum.

From Wikipedia ...
A fallacious argument that concludes a proposition to be true because many or most people believe it. In other words, the basic idea of the argument is: “If many believe so, it is so.”

Westbrook adds ...
It is one of a class of arguments that are not based on facts and logic, but rather appeal to the emotions or baser instincts.

What’s worse is that Leftist vermin like Clift the hag and 0bama the Castro-wannabe mostly fabricate their own statistics or borrow them from the Leftist echo chamber that fabricates the statistics for them.

I don’t vote based on race, sex, or ethnicity. I’m not dying for a black or a woman or a Hispanic president. Just give me a solid conservative with a spine.

Oh, come on. America was ready for a female president in 2008! It’s just that Ocarter’s blackness trumped Hillary’s female-ness.

I think she’d be 10x worse, if she was POTUS, instead of 0scumbag.

Obama hates America and wants to destroy our country, when he's not vacationing or golfing. Hillary wants America to be strong so that she will have absolute power as she rules us with her iron fist. I don't want to see which is worse.

Oh, you mean Montgomery Clift?

Eye candy for the ladies, indeed, but certainly a lot easier on the retina than the hideous image of a Leftist hag.

She was married once to his brother, I understand, that’s the connection.

Praying for America to wake up...praying for God to open their ears to hear and eyes to see. When He closes them it is because of their sin, and this nation’s streets are covered in the blood of the innocent unborn. Will He do it? He did it for Israel when Josiah became king. He was 8 at the time. But He didn’t forgive them and during the next reign they were invaded by those from Babylon.

My limited view of Haley is more positive than negative. It’s just that after the last four years, I’ve grown to distrust much of the GOP, and want to be deadly sure it’s not going to be someone who winds up acquiescing to the beltway Borg.

After last year’s convention, which disgustingly and disgracefully snubbed Palin, and wouldn’t even allow the words “tea party” be uttered from the floor... followed by this year’s parade of ‘supposed’ conservative stalwarts going sour, from Rubio pushing amnesty, to Toomey going for gun registration, to even last week, Paul Ryan suddenly okay with gay adoption (not to mention joining Luis Guiterez in promoting amnesty as well!)... heck, I’m at my wit’s end when it comes to the Republican Party. I don’t trust them an inch anymore!
