Yes it's time for a women to be President!

No. I think she would have a fighting chance, and I'd rather the democrats run a weaker candidate to give the republicans a better shot! (Remember John Kerry? What a dream candidate for the GOP.) I agree with the previous commenter that we are long overdue for a female President, but I'm not going to vote for an economically destructive left-winger just because she's a woman.

No. While Hilary is likely well qualified, I don't like the idea of family dynasties. Look what two generations of bushes wrought!

HC has accomplished nothing, as Senator or Sec of State.

Has our society really fallen to this level? Hillary is a socialist that would make Mussolini and Stalin proud. She is still the same individual who organized rallies at Yale in support of the Black Panthers and has worked diligently ever since to erode the US Constitution, the 2nd Amendment, and our personal freedoms. It is very sad that we were even contemplate election of such an individual to represent this once great nation.

Yes totally agree I would vote for Hillary and she is a women.

If you think Hillary Clinton is a socialist, then clearly you have no idea what socialism is.

No ethics, no backbone, no vote. She is not the person I would want running this country.

The Benghazi debacle will follow her to her last breath...Clearly, Democrats need to find a candidate with less shameful baggage....

But don't get me wrong....I'd vote for her in a heartbeat, rather than Paul Ryan.

I think she should take time and enjoy the family, friends, and life she has built. American work too much...always looking for the next feather in their caps. Enjoy life.

NO Hilary need not run in 2016, she should take care of he concussion.

In fact , if I were Bill Clinton and married to that hag .... I would have smoked every Cigar I could find ! Were are you Monica Lewinsky?

Looks like the perpetual haters have rolled out of bed.

@Joe- be real. even the GOP realizes that Palin isn't fit for a national office/position. Gotta love fanatics.

echhhh...

I'm not considering it an issue of a woman becoming president any more than I would consider it an issue of a man becoming president. If one would vote for her as a president because she is a woman, I think that person should re-assess his or her knowledge base from such a shallow point of view and vote for President based policies and issues.

But, here's why I said echhhh: Lemme see - it's 2012, and we are going to hear this for the next 4 years -- as I'm pretty sure her campaign has already started.

Let me clarify for those who have any doubt: the strongest political machine ever created - is now starting Hillary's campaign - right now - with "Is she going to run or is she not going to run?"

And I assure you that you will be hearing this as the preemptive strike for quite a bit of time - because as soon as she declares her running, the media will have to give her opponents equal time.

Then, we will be bombarded with her campaigning, and there will be no escaping. One thing the Clintons know is how to get media coverage.

Then, if you're not sick of her at that point, you will get another 4 years of her as President (are you with me so far - that's 8 years of Hillary). As soon as she is elected, she will do everything with one focus: so she gets re-elected. 12 years of Hillary. Ugh. I think I just threw up a little in the back of my throat...

Man, woman, black, white, blah blah blah. We need people in leadership positions that will live up to their oath to protect and defend the Constitution. H. Clinton will not even answer to Congress regarding her role in the killing of a U.S. Ambassador and three others.

NO! NO!! NO!!!
I wouldn't trust that worthless, conniving piece of crap for anything!!
Nor her husband!

Hillary? poor thing can't testify on Benghazi due to her "concussion"how will she ever. She may need to resign from the Trilteral Commission, the Council of Foreign Relations and forget her dream of heading the IMF given the "concussion". She had been a dedicated and faithful NWO girl, George Soros' right hand girl. She has helped him succeed in amassing untold fortunes hedging his money against various economies, toppling countries, - remember the British sterling? Soros broke the Bank of England, and now the USA.
Since being Sec of State, she has lead the unseating of the many heads of state of these godforsaken middle east countries - so that the muslim brotherhood could fulfill their dreams of the global caliphate - so much for women's rights. We also can thank Hillary for a dead ambassador and Seals - who knows how many others. Oh yes, there is another Bill and Hill body count: James McDougal , Mary Caitrin Mahoney, Vince Foster, Ron Brown, C. Victor Raiser II, Montgomery Raiser, Paul Tulley, Jerry Parks, Kathy Ferguson, Paul Wilcher and numerous of Clinton security personnel, and the list goes on. Then we have Hillary supporting the UN ban on small arms treaty - i wonder if Hillary has read the CONSTITUTION...We know she has read RULES FOR RADICALS. Yes, she is a socialist - a best, she is unamerican....so i'll pass on Hillary 2016. Given the "concussion", hopefully she will forget about it anyway.

Monica really does not have anything to do with Hillary now lets keep it straight.

HC no way no way.
HC was a dismal first lady, to busy trying to compete with her husband , dismal NY senator. She ran in that state because polls told her she could win. She spent her last 4 yrs as first lady traveling at taxpayer's exspense to choose which state to run for senate and she proved to be a dismal senator.
As S o S she has logged more hours at taxpayers expense and proved to be dismal at her job. Others had to step in and make up the gaps for her. Womens rights are important but there are many other issues that effect global stablity.
As a canidate, without her rock-star immoral husband she would not have gotten past the first 5- 10 primaries. Her campaign office was disorganized, lots of infightling and left behind a trail of unpaid bills primarily to small business. Only for the little people when it benifits Billary.Is that leadership ?
If you want a female canidate to vote for in the futureor just a good canidate regardless of gender look at Debbie Wasserman-Shultz conservative democrat in Fl.
She is smart, hardworking and can see both sides of an issue and compromise for an effective solution. The lady holds her ground with facts and common sense.

yes. she would make an excellent president. so much experience as sec. of state.
plus she put up with bill,s crap.

i'd like to see someone younger run (a woman would be good, though)... but mostly, it's gotta be someone who has a fighting chance against Chris Christie (if the republicans don't nominate him, they're crazier than i thought)...

Chris Christie is wonderful. Honest and straight forward. His weight bothers me, as it would be awful if he dropped dead of a heart attack.

Someone mentioned not liking family dynasties and referred to the Bush era. Wouldn't it be great to have her take America back to where it was prior to the last President Bush, but strictly on her own merit. I recall her relentless pursuit of health care for all, way back when. Also, I have watched her age during her tenure as Secretary of State. She has given all she could and, I believe, she should be given the opportunity to serve (OUR) country again if she pursues it. There is no where to go but up and SHE CAN DO IT. My answer is YES! God Bless,

How can anyone on here say they hate someone, when they don't know them. You can hate their pollitcs and what they stand for, but you don't hate a person that you have never met. Listen to what you are saying. Have you forgotten what happened this week in CT?? No, I do not think Mrs. Clinton should run for the presidency. Yes, I do believe she could probably win if she did. I don't think I ever want to see a woman in the White House, it is simply not worth sacrificing your femininity to run with the pack. Good luck to her if she does. By the by, republican.

I'm not certain she has the emotional constitution to run. I think this fainting and falling is a symptom of her difficulty dealing with the emotional pain of what happened in Benghazi and her role in it. I think she's done.

YES. Even the GOP says if she runs, they won't have a chance. Let's get the Clintons back in the White House

Yes the Clintons - back to the white house - what a grand pair they are, both support UN Agenda 21 (loss of private property ownership and loss of national sovereignty, of course they will be expected to live in the meager square-footage the rest of us will be assigned to if bubba's sexcapades, lying under oath, and embracing the fake Palestinians,snubbing our allies, Hillary the activist only when it is politically expedient to take up a cause - remember the Women's rights movement she championed.....now that's old hat - insofar as muslim women are concerned. Hillary will never pay her fair share but agrees we all should. I'd rather all these two faced political whores donate the fortunes they've amassed at our expense and, give up their benefits since it isn't "fsir" - no exemptions and purchase plan simllar to the rest of us. They wanted obamacare - let them sign up first and tell us how much they like it. While we are at it - since they are public servants, so salaries just the honor of being a public servant, travel at their own expense, no armed guards and security teams - now that guns will be taken away, at best restricted.. Thy also must liive by every law they pass, no special exemptions. You want an honest woman running? Susana Martinez, Palin, Bachmann - these will be women who will fight agenda 21, preserve the constitutional and stop the moral decay that permeates the currenlt political field

@Jenna & Joe- propping up the likes of Palin and Buchannan as ideals for candidacy demonstrates a lack of intellectual acumen. Both have shown that they are unintelligent puppets that even the GOP has rejected. They're credibility has been used up. I don't know much about Martinez, but it's obvious that she lacks the national appeal required to beat the likes of Hillary Clinton. The GOP needs to be smarter about the candidates they put forth if they want to be taken seriously. The lame crop they put forth this last election cycle should have proven that to anyone with an ounce of common sense.

Obama hasn't even been sworn in a second time and there's already discussion about Hilary running in 2016? Why?

Joe, You read me wrong. sorry about that. We need a swing in the opposite direction. Smaller government. With HC there won't be change.

@Wendy- stating what seems obvious isn't an insult. It's just is. No intelligent person, in either party, thinks Palin or Buchannan would be a quality choice.

Amend, I agree. But being female, I don't want a woman President. We are too tempermental. Sorry about my thoughts.

@Joe- pushing blame away from the real issues within the republican party isn't a solution. Buchannan, Perry, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum and Romney, and the extremists within the GOP are the reasons the republicans failed this election cycle. Stop propping up weak candidates with fringe ideals if you want to win. You blame lazy entitlement takers when it's elitist idealogues focusing on an affluent minority, abortion, the 2nd amendment, illegal immigrants and how to fuse religion and politics that are the republicans' downfall. It's your own party's fault. Deal with it.

No, Are many of you saying that hc is the very best this country has to offer up as president? I hope not. Let us see the mood of the country in four years and if "the majority" has bothered to read The Constitution or re read economics 101.

Entitlements are a means to an end - The endpoint is there will be no elections. We will have no free choice, no more Constitution, no unalienable rights, no national identity. We will have a one world govt, Under the guise of" the common good", "globalism, "environment", "social justice" redistribution, our food will be rationed, our water will be rationed, medical care will be rationed - there will be no private property ownership - no means of self defense, no United States to flee to. We will not be permitted to raise our own children. They will be raised/indoctrinated by the State.

Do you have any understanding of what the 'FAIR SHARE" nanny state nonsense really is about? They are taking away personal responsibility, accountability, our choice and independence. They are taking away our ability to reason. Why is "G-d" being attacked and taken out of public discourse? because our rights will no longer be inalienable. The "State" will replace G-d as the highest authority. Our allegiance will be to the "State". The "state" will decide what is moral or immoral, what is right and what is wrong. Now while we are all fighting -dems/repub, rich/poor, black/white , male/female, religious/atheist, liberals/conservatives - the real power machine - the international elites are robbing all of us - of our nation, our freedoms, our choice, our lives, our right of self-deterination, and our wealth. - Little by little, the govt - both parties, create crises which are then politicized, keeping us polarized, and we slowly surrender more and more of our liberties because....the majority of us are either ignorant or worn down.. The govt is not our friend. They do not represent "the people". They are bought and paid for - and very happy to have us fighting, name-calling, and unaware of what they have planned for us - the New World Order -

thanks to George Bush Sr who signed us on to UN agenda 21 and to all the administrations following - all parties - who have been implementing it under the guise of "environmental" "green" "sustainable" "global" "smart" "fairness" "biodiversity" "global warming/climate change" "redistribution" - hold on to your hats - it's going to a hell of a WAKE UP CALL. ARMAGEDDON may not mean a physical event - it just might mean - the end of the free world as we know it -Now stop the bickering, pull together - it's our only chance. Hillary Clinton? please - she is a politician - the last thing we need. If a politician is not mentioning Agenda 21 - or ILCLEI - and none of them are - then know they are not the candidate for you

Joe I agree, Jenna has much insight on Hillary (and Bill) - where they came from and what she has done and hasn't done. Just the word Clinton raises the hairs on the back of my neck and makes me cringe!

NO!! To name a few faults, as in unamerican...HillaryCare...the Bilderberg Group (yep, she was fined $300,000.00 and The White House aka the taxpayers took that Bill...pun intended)...New World Order...Benghezi cover-up...vote on policy, not sex, race, or that silly "alphabet letter" after one's name!

Oh, right...a concussion...a convenient lie!!

Hillary should resign. She is not worthy to run for Dog Catcher in my opinion.

As a republican, I would LOVE for her to run.

Well its like this...CANT BE DO NO WORST THAN THE ONE THATS IN THE WHITE HOUSE NOW.Maybe not better .BUT SURE NOT WORST.

I would be thrilled if Hillary Clinton ran for the office of US President. Both domestic and global experience, highly intelligent, hard-working and tough as nails. Loves her country and has a real feel for all of the citizens of our wonderful country.

You are so right ,Joe. And the ones who worked their whole life try to get someting , NO , AND IAM TELLING FOR A FACT. A WHITE MALE WHO WORK HIS WHOLE LIFE, CANT GET NO HELP . BUT ONES WHO NEVER WORKED OR WOMEN OR MINORITIES , they will give it to them. And iam not being racist of a male pig. Its just a fact... .And you know , they live better than the hard working males, free healthins. WHICH IS THE BEST , food , RENT, CHILD CARE .They even pay them if they cut down their peco bill. I saw a news show , where the wefare office had a women who made like $59,000 , it was better for her to make $28,000 with her kids , so she could get all this free stuff from the GOVERMENT . And the welfare office is the PA. ONE........OBAMA DONT CARE ABOUT US. HILARY , well she aint right. .............iF IT WASNT FOR THE YOUNG AND MINORITIES OBAMAM WOULD HAD NEVER WON.....THEY KNOW KNOW ANY BETTER.... IN TEN YEARS THEY WILL BE LIKE WHY DID I EVER VOTE FOR HIM. THe old GREAT USA IS never gonna be the same ,,, and its a shame....

At least her hubby could lie good... I still get a laugh when i think about .I NEVER HAD SEXUAL RELATIONS WITH THAT WOMEN.... Dam i belive him , even though i knew he was lying.. Ha Big Willy ,, give him credit , if you had to live with that women you would do what he was and still is doing...

Lord, May the peace and calm of the season dwell in the minds and hearts of the angry, confused and hateful on this forum, at least for the next 36 hours!

Joe - Merry Christmas to you. No, I would rather those who work get a decent wage in order to eliminate the need for federal assistance for food and medical care for themselves and their children. And I am totally for the assistance to the elderly and disabled (although Social Security is not really an entitlement - we put the money into the fund our entire working life).Glad you do not shop at Walmart - they create low paying jobs with crappy benefits so people work but cannot take care of essentials. The Walmart heirs are worth more than the bottom 40% of the population - and they are getting richer at the taxpayers expense. To put it into perspective, an average Walmart worker would have to work 170,000 years to match what the Walton heirs make in dividends each year. And the low wages affect all of us - federal assistance, the employees 4.2% SS and Medicare amounts are lower, state income taxes are lower and consumer spending (which drives the economy) is reduced. There needs to be a balance - this is capitalism gone awry, like the robber barons.
Now the 10% of federal assistance that goes to non working poor does need discussion, I agree - a fairly small amount in the overall scheme of things but I have worked my whole life and feel others should do the same. But assistance to the elderly, disabled and working poor should always be available. And if job creators paid a reasonable rate and moved some of their manufacturing back here, we, all of us, would be better off.

The reason employers move people to govt. programming is because it's there and it's easy to get. If our safety net truly was a safety net and not a life style the market place would demand better wages and likely get them. But why bother when the govt. will take money from others and redistribute it so Walmart doesn't have to?

Ruby, This is one American who has never been in a Walmart, and there is one 3 miles away. I like to support the smaller stores.

I do not shop at Walmart, LOL!
However, many more than I, do.
This is the way it is. If it were not, they would be out of business.

Just the fact that Obamacare, gives the poor and struggling basic medical and the well-being of knowing they are WORTHY of care, can be huge in a person bouncing off povertys pit. Were a more decent Nation to care for our poor and sick, without setting them back, financially-or breaking their healing power by upsetting someone over hospital$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Mitt Romney/Sarah Palin 2016!!!

I've had it with the crap talk here on the Phoenixville Patch...there are a very few voices of reason and intelligence but it's mostly a bunch of idiots with diarrhea of the mouth. "Obama is a socialist" or "Hillary is a Hag",etc... what a bunch of morons!
It's not the Patches' fault though, they're just providing a place for the local community to voice it's opinions...unfortunately its seems it attracts a bunch of idiots!
I wish there were a place to have a reasonable discourse but the Patch sure isn't that place!

I would disagree. most republicans cant handle the truth. Reagan is their savior, yet the man raised taxes, agreed with wealth redistribution, and spent like there was no tomorrow. Please explain. Also, the same was with Mitt Romney, yet they still voted for him. The man was for gun control, for abortion, for stimulus packages, for government handouts, pretty much the biggest liberal to run on the republican ticket, yet....yet, he still got votes. All by giving the people what they wanted to hear, he said the complete opposite of what he said 45 minutes prior. Real leadership there. Now his son Tagg even comes out and says Mitt never wanted to really be president anyway. Wow. Would of fooled his voters.

Tony... Romney lost...its irrelevent.The biggest lie in political history was pulled off by Barrack Hussein Obama. "YES WE CAN"..."CHANGE". all that meant was get ready for Socialism . Most voters had no clue what Made Obama tick and what his real agenda was.
You can spin Reagan all you want but our nations economy grew exponentially under his Presidency and our country was respected/feared by the world. He helped bring down the remnants of Communism. Whats Obama's legacy...Obamacare..!!!!!!!!Please ...dont compare Reagan to Obama...
He isn't in Reagan's league.

Tony: you are completely correct except for one point: W Bush was not "Elected." He was anointed and appointed by the Supremes.

Dear Joe Sommers: I pay way more taxes percentage-wise than Mitt Romney and others in the 1%. And I contribute to society financially, patriotically, and through community efforts and charity. Proud, card-carrying Democrat, I remain...liberally happy. Liberal is not a four-letter word. It means open-minded and tolerant and educated.

Joe, I do believe that you are the poster boy for "Republican."

If I have to choose between Biden and Hillary, I'd go with Hillary.
