The Republicans and the Independents believe in freedom and the right to public office for all that qualify.
Democrats don't even want her majesty.
The partisan angle is interesting. I wonder if they are being honest. Let's face it. The Republicans want Clinton more than the Dems. It will juice up the base.
I already stated my view, and it has nothing to do with freedom. If BillyBob had not said "2 for the price of 1" in 1992, I would have no ethical problem with it. She has already had some executive power in the first Clinton Administration, and only a fool denies that Bill will co-lead if she comes to power again. I would have no problem with Laura Bush or Michelle Obama, as they seemed/seem to just be married to the president, not co-governing. Of course, you would have to ask with W and Barry-O could keep their hands off the wheel in such cases. Regardless, the whole prospect stinks to the high heaven, IMO.
The ethical issues are not with who she was married to. She is an individual.
Well, to spell it out more clearly (this is for netwoks too). On th campaign trail in 1992, her husband said they would co-govern, and they did. So she cannot come back and act like that never happened. Technically, you are right, but in reality, as I have said numerous times, Bill sold his candidacy at least in part, on her credentials as a co-leader, so it strikes me as highly unethical to say "Oh, forget about all that..she is a fresh independent face!" Ain't so.
As a person who voted for "the team" two times, I personally cannot vote ethically support voting for "the team" again. I think they probably have the highest average IQ of any presidential pair in a century, or maybe ever, but that still does not negate the foundation for term limits.
As a two time supporter of Bill Clinton, I recall the 1992 boast of "two for the price of one" when he was campaigning. I also recall his delegation of pretty heavy duty executive powers (health care reform) to his super smart wife Hillary.
So, I personally have a very serious case of heartburn with the Clintons getting back in the White House again. It just seems flat out wrong. I am not surprised that Bill would say one thing and reverse himself, but I am just not on board.
How do you feel about this?
Anything the Clintons do is only for personal gain, not the good of the nation, and is therefore unethical seeing as they claim the ethical high ground.
Well OF COURSE a second Clinton candidacy will be unethical. Not because it's "second"... but merely because it's a CLINTON campaign. These two wouldn't know HOW to tell the truth even if it occurred to them to do that.
But Hillary is getting my vote anyway. I'd rather have a dishonest Democrat than an honest Republican. Not that any honest Republicans would get anywhere near a presidential election or anything.

That sentiment says a lot about you. You prefer a known liar over anyone else and that is just sad.

Nominate a great candidate like John Huntsman, and you will be surprised how many people suddenly realize they just don't like Clinton. Nominate Ted Cruz, and well, the dems will hold their nose and pull the lever.
