Thread: Clinton vs. Giuliani in 2008

However, even if we were to go with the woman thing, what makes America unsuitable for a woman? In 1979, Britain was mired in inflation and unemployment, the 'sick man of Europe'. Now, I suppose we need strong leadership for a secure America facing terrorist challenges etc etc. Trouble is, there will never be an 'ideal' time for a woman. In the '10s you needed a strong ballsy guy to guide America through WWI. In the '20s, you needed a strong ballsy guy to guide America through business-led prosperity, 'cause the women would just mollycoddle everyone with welfare. In the '30s, you needed a strong ballsy guy to fix the Depression. '40s, WWII and Cold War. '50s, segregation problems and nuclear USSR. '60s, Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam. '70s, oil crisis and post-Vietnam malaise. '80s, beat the Soviet Union. '90s, handle America's hyperpowerdom responsibly. 00s, WoT. You get the point - there is always an excuse against a woman.

Hmmm perhaps we could in effect clone some of Maggies DNA now that would produce a woman fit for the US presidency in this day and age. Cheers!)

For limited time only before she destroys her own party through poll tax unpopularity, and conditional upon having a war to win early on to cement her status.

Yes, ..... that obvious, huh?

Smartass

Hah! I appreciate the sentiment but I think you'd find me extremely unelectable. Besides, I'm hardly qualified.

As ruler of Daletopia, however, that's a different story.

They're now holding fair elections in Daletopia? I thought it would always be a dictatorship.

I know that's the plan for Skullopolis! (My wife still thinks she's the PM! )

Daletopia ----- where crappy food prevails and the ego crushes anyone who attempts to go there.

But presidential power overrules, eh.
