What will Hillary's coronation be like?
I want a knighthood damnit! Only let's make ours fancier than those brits, the knights should have super long titles.

Now how exactly did God choose that the Clintons and the Bushes would be our leaders, how did we know they were born to be our kings/queens? Were they born with some neat little seal of approval from God or something?

Long live the Queen! Long live the Queen! God bless the Queen! God bless the Queen!

2. I don't like her anymore than you do
but I think this is a wee bit over the top.

10. If it is, I'm not seeing it
Then again, I don't care for her, so if it is in defense, it doesn't matter much to me.

8. Why? I'm getting fucking tired of this. You can't tell me there is any excuse...
for only 2 families to have been in the Presidency over a period of 20 years, in a nation with 300 million people. This is fucking ridiculous.

By the way, that's how it will be in 2008, not even if she's elected. If she's elected it will be 2 families in 24 years at the least, and 28 years if she's re-elected.

And about that time the nation will have forgotten about W. so his brother Jeb might have a shot.

This is a fucking empire, and I'm fucking tired of it. There has to be someone out of 300 million people capable of being President.

14. If Jeb runs, he has about as much chance as she does
which I believe is: none. If she wants to run, that's her choice. Personally, I think she's wasting her time and other people's money. Donna Brazile and James Carville might be delighted, along with a very few DUers. I say the whole notion of a Clinton candidacy is a sideshow at best.

25. That's true. He was a ditz.
What the hell is wrong with America? Kings and Queens were disliked when they established monoarchies, only when their descendents became tyrants, that's when they became so hated.

6. IF she is nominated it will be a very important and impressive milestone
as the first woman nominated by a major party for the presidency.

12. Nancy Pelosi's fine as Speaker...
why can't we find another female Senator to run for President? Or even a female Representative?

Isn't it a little outrageous that in 20 years there have only been two families in the Presidency?

15. "We" can't force anyone
to take on a run for the presidency.Clinton is running, Pelosi isn't.I'm sick of this "queen" shit.I don't believe I've ever seen a male Democrat sneered at for having "royal" aspirations.Why is that?

17. You need to frequent DU more...
that's kind of a running theme with W here, especially because he's done illegal actions which smack of a King. And he's got the same first name as the king when we declared our independence.

and there has never been a queen named Hillary to my knowledge.There is no comparison.

24. Nah
I just used the google search engine. Using the image section I inserted Queen Hillary. Don't know where it originates from.

13. "Pomp & Circumstance" playing as she mounts red carpeted stairs to her new throne
and receives her crown, passed to her from El Chimpo's head?
