Hmmm... so Chelsea became a vegetarian at age 11... if you write that V11 it looks like VII, the Roman numeral seven... If you think about the major Dem candidates in the primary, who did we have at the beginning there? Obama, Hillary, Edwards, Kucinich, Richardson, Biden, Dodd, and Gravel... that's eight but if we don't count Hillary, because she's Chelsea's mother, that leaves seven and that matches.

WAIT!

Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
  • The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. There are also seven kings.
That was the beginning of the Primary, with seven male candidates the "seven kings" and Hillary sitting on top of them, the expected winner early-on.
  • Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come.
That was when everyone had fallen behind except Obama... the one who is! Is president now! And Edwards... the one who had not yet come... that was before his affair, right?
  • And when he comes, he must continue a short time.
Well, long enough to get her pregnant, anyways.
  • The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition.
The beast that was, was in the White House - Hillary as First Lady - and is not, through perdition lost the primary and is not in the White House now.

That makes Hillary the beast who is of the seven, this time it's the VII from Chelsea becoming a vegetarian at age 11. Which means... Hillary is of the seven, she's the mother of the seven, of the... ZOMG CHELSEA CLINTON IS THE ANTICHRIST!11!

I think she has already started to get a reputation as a b****.
Our government actually enforces a strict ban on unwanted media exposure of Chelsea. The have gone so far as to even shut down small fan sites containing nothing more than what is released in mainstream media.
She also apparently told a very young girl "I don't do interviews" when the girl asked to do so for an elementary school project. To her face even, the request did not come by mail or email, she asked in person.

You probably mispoke when you blamed the government. It was more an unofficial agreement between the candidates and the major news organizations to lay off the candidates' families to a certain extent. An agreement some of the news organizations chafed at when those family members became part of the campaign.

David Shuster was suspended by MSNBC for saying the Clintons were pimping out their daughter on the campaing trail.

You started the thread, Ivan.

Boy, for someone we know very little about, the Chelsea political future watch sure didn't take long. You must see her as a real possibility. And "for someone we know very little about" that you "know very little about", you sure had some glowing things to say about her in the OP!

me said:
Will we, and if so, when will we see Chelsea emerge as a political candidate? She is smart, poised, and impressive with crowds. And what a political education she has had for a person so young! What an advantage she would have. She may know more about politics than most politicians.

That is glowing? How does this constitute "glowing". I said smart, poised, and impressive with crowds. And her unique political education is undeniable. This is hardly a declaration of support.

Is she smart? Probably. Poised? Relatively poised for a 20 something, but not poised enough to avoid the gag she was given when she stuck her foot in her mouth! I suppose if being the wife of a president is a qualification, then being the daughter of a president should be too, but realistically she has no experience.

Did I say that she has experience? Did I say that she should run as President? No. I even specified that we can't know if she is truly viable until she tries a run.

I have a generally favorable opinion of her, but that's mostly because since "we know very little about" her, about all I know is that she's reasonably good looking. I have a soft spot for redheads. That's not enough to vote for her, though.

Did I say that anyone should vote for her? No.

This is a dumb/pointless thread. Not worthy of PF. You should know beter, Ivan.

To be blunt, why don't you cut the crap and stop lying about other people's positions.
