Why is it that people bash Hillary for her "thirst of power" ?

Question

Couldn't the same be said for all the candidates? isn't that thirst necessary in order to win and to be successful?

Answer 1

Ambition is fine.  Gender is a non-issue here.  I might have voted voting for her, but dishonesty is a huge issue for me.  ie.  "We were shot at in Bosnia" -- you don't fabricate this stuff.  Also, "I have over 30 years of experience" -- no, you were married to someone with 30 years of experience, while you have only 7 years.  When Obama lost primaries, he looked the same as when he won them.  He looked calm and confident, and kept his staff positive.  HRB has looked bitter and frustrated when she has lost.  She has been heavy handed with her staff (a poor management trait):  to date, she has terminated more than a dozen staff members, and in general, her staff looks very unhappy, and not in the sense of "we need to win 68.4% of the remaining vote to pull even" way, but more of a "I don't want to have to face my boss" way.  

"Thirst for power" is a phrase that reflects more than ambition.  It is a win at all costs mentality that says if I hurt my staff, if I lie, if I behave unethically, if I damage the lives of others, it is acceptable as long as I get what I want.  It is the difference between selfishness and leadership.

Answer 2

I was of the impression she was being bashed for lying multiple times and getting caught.

Answer 3

Because Hillary has that thirst only for the sake of having that power. She really has no interest in the welfare of the US! She only wants the power and is willing to say anything, do anything, to get it.

Answer 4

People hate Hillary Clinton because she is such a pathetic lying evil witch.     She became so desperate a few weeks ago and tried to lie to us about her trip to Bosnia.     SNIPER FIRE????    Now she claims she only misspoke and was sleep deprived.    A lie compounded by another lie makes the original lie that much worse!!!

Answer 5

Because they are afraid of her! Very afraid. The woman is powerful and they know it, whether they like her or not, or whether they think she is powerful or not. They are afraid of her.

There really isn't any other reason.

Answer 6

it`s not that she has a thirst for power... she wants our country back in the shape it was in when Bill was president.. i hope she wins and we can get our country back from republicanism..
