The only way Oprah's running for anything is if someone has a bag of McDonalds dangling on a string in front of her. Even then, she'd be winded after 2 feet.

Oh Christ. Explain please. :roll:

Simple. She would sensationalize everything and put a spin on it making America gladly embrace thermonuclear destruction with open arms.
like i said, it won't happen, because men won't vote for a woman, especially a black woman.

Now that's just not true. If 21 year olds were allowed to run, men would vote for a 21 year old hottie :p

It pains me to say this...but I'd probably vote for...Dick Cheney...over Hilary Clinton. Dick Cheney is pure evil...but I really hate Hilary Clinton.

Dick Cheney is unable to be president. He's bald.

Have you ever seriously considered a lobotomy?
i'd recommend one for you, but that operation can only be performed once :confused:

LOL. Not to mention he looks like a snarling warthog.

I think a bald dude could be president, provided he was in good shape...which Cheney clearly is not.

If they try to run Hilary Clinton next term, they should just close up shop, go home and leave the republican party to run the country right into the ground.

Actually, she's a shoo-in for the woman vote, and would have strong draw on the black vote. She would not likely win, but I suspect she would get a lot more votes than one might think at first. The AARP would never go for it, and that pretty much scuttles the whole thing.

Yeah, if there's one segment of the population thats not going to vote for a woman, especially a black woman, its the old people. And old people all vote. Because they don't have anything better to do.

My version:

McCain > Rice > the roadkill I ran over on the way to work today > belly bunton lint > Clinton

What I wouldn't give for my party to put up a decent candidate :(

Why exactly?
she is an intelligent, and powerful woman.
i'd like to see a woman in the White House, because the men aren't cutting it.

So you're one of those people that would vote for a woman just because she's a woman.

I could care less what the sex of the President is, but I'll be dipped in sh1t if I'm going to vote for someone just because "it hasn't been done yet". That's no better than NOT voting for a woman just because she's a woman.

Please sell your vote.

You're getting dumber and dumber with each post of yours I read. You, sir/madam, are one helluva hypocrite. You'll vote for a woman just because she's a woman, but you chastise literally ALL MEN because you think they'll only vote for a man.

Shouldn't you be baking a pie?

Rich does not equal intelligent. For all the faults the leaders of our country have had, I don't see how them being women would have changed anything. They become leaders by being corrupt, slithering, slimy dirtbags.
i didn't mention rich, and she definitely came from humble beginnings.
she isn't rich now by luck.

yes, corrupt, slithering, slimy dirtbags, all of them. so we should give women a chance to prove they aren't or won't be that.

You do realize, of course, that you're no better than the people you're ripping, right?

Not to mention that if he were the president we'd actually have to see him every now and then. Honestly, when was the last time anyone saw Cheney? I'm not even sure he exists. I think he's some super advanced holograph or something :confused:
