    Another Liability

    It occurs to me that another major liability if Sen. Clinton wins the presidency is that, as the first woman president, she'll be so eager to prove to the electorate that she has the "cajones" to protect the U.S., she will embrace a foreign policy that is every bit as militaristic and macho stupid as that championed by our glorious tough guy Top Gun cowboy, Fuhrer Bush. To me, this is the most dangerous repercussion of electing Sen., CLinton, even putting aside the fact that her election would ensure the perpetuation of establishment DC politics, business as usual.
