President Chili Head

Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton mentioned in passing that she carries hot sauce with her on the campaign trail.  The comment was made recently on a radio show, prompting people to criticize her.  The claim has been made that she just said it to get the black vote as if hot sauce was a cultural thing.  I rather think it crosses cultures, but I wanted to know if she was making it up for some reason.  So I did a little googling.

Seems she has talked about her obsession with peppers for much time, feels they boost the immune system.  Claims when her husband was in office, the White House had a collection of over 100 different hot sauces.

Political views not included in the thought: I think it would be cool to have a Chili Head in office and I can not stop laughing to think of Sander's motto now: Feel the Burn...  Oh damn this is funny.

I blogged it, but not much more in there other than some links to references

Well heck, if Bill could smoke a hot little number under the Oval Office desk, then I guess it's fair game to flaunt a Lil' Ninja Squirrel any ole place she desires. :hotsauce:  :halo:
 
All the more reason to like Hillary Clinton over Trump. Bernie Sanders is my second choice. Sad that an American Indian hasn't got it yet.

Personally, I would prefer more choices. 
 
By native american do you mean like Elizabeth warren who is a democrat running under the green party? Though her actual Cherokee roots are questionable.  
She's probably about as native as I am (mescalero apache)

I like were you are going with this. I would really like to see Alex White Plume for president (then I might actually give a shit about government). The Native American Indians took excellent care of this place long before white man got here. Give it back to them, Put one in charge and let them show us how take care of this place again.
 
I think the only tie to American Indian she has is that she was born in Oklahoma. Even in horseshoes she wouldn't be close (Elizabeth Warren).
 
I think every race, creed, and color should get a one run at it. Enough of the old white men ( I should know I fit that category). Hell even picking the smartest eighteen year old would do a better job.

I dont much care about ethnicity.  I would like someone whose had to work for a living.  Maybe a single parent who managed to raise their kids well.  I would really get behind someone who opposed the huge military spending and loss of life that seems to have followed each president in the last decade or two.

I'll take Gary Johnson over any of those clowns. 
 
Im not a HUGE Gary Johnson fan as much as I was a Bob Barr fan in 2008.  I voted for Bob Barr in 08 and was told I "wasted" my vote and should have voted McCain.  Sorry the R's bungled that choice in trying to get a 120 year old man elected based on his status as a "war hero" except to those that were in the Hanoi Hilton with him.
 
Best "libertarian" choice in this cycle was Rand Paul, but he doesnt fit the republican mold enough to run as an R on the national stage unfortunately, just like his old man.
 
she was pandering, even admitted it. it was brought up because of the content that they were speaking of which was Beyonce's lemonade release. she and all other politicians would carry around a turd in a jar if it was considered trendy and could get you to vote for them.
 
Student of Spice, they are always pandering but I found articles from years ago when she talked about the health benefit of hot peppers.  Not sure why it is a big thing now.  I think of it kind of like her husband playing sax.  Maybe it is just a thing until you run for the highest office.  Nobody cared when she was just a lower appointee. 
 
Know what you mean. Hail and flooding caught me off guard. Now it's rebuild and restart mode. Gona be overwintering just to get a head start for next year. It's OK cause I've never had a perfect growing season yet - never boring at least and always plenty to do

she has always been running for some form of office so has always been pandering, sorry but i just doubt the sincerity of anything that comes out of her mouth.
 
 
 
 
     I think you may be putting the cart before the horse. I don't think it's the politics that have necessarily made her a pandering liar. I think she's just a sociopath and lying and shameless pandering come second nature to her. Like a lot of politicians, thinking about or empathizing with other other people is just not something her brain is wired to do.
     She has learned to emulate human behavior over the years (smiling at the right time, hiring people to tell her to say the right things) but she's not like a normal person. The problem is, most Americans are incapable of seeing beyond the R or the D.
