Wait a minute. She could still be a harpy. I mean she is a woman right? You called Hillary a harpy not because she is supposedly guilty of whatever nonsense you are spouting but because she is a woman.

I called her a harpy because it is the English word that best describes her:
har·py
noun: GREEK & ROMAN MYTHOLOGY:
a rapacious monster described as having a woman's head and body and a bird's wings and claws or depicted as a bird of prey with a woman's face -
a grasping, unpleasant woman.
English is a marvelously expressive and precise language.

Fits her to a T.  Unfortunately (for her, anyway).

I don't hate her - she simply hasn't done very much worthwhile, and most of what she has is a mess still being cleaned up.
There are much more qualified Democratic candidates out there - picking one because of name recognition (same goes for Bush) is not an intelligent method of nominating someone for the Presidency.

"Deceitful harpy" is hate speech.
And i see folks are doubling down on it. A symptom of hate is you like your own hate, and see nothing wrong with it.

What specific messes are you referring to?
As to her qualifications, there really aren't many people with the breadth of experience in government that she possesses, from being an attorney for the Watergate Commission on up to being Secretary of State with lots of stuff in between.
True, there are several Democrats I'd prefer to see get the nomination but not on the basis of their experience.

Since you haven't responded to this post but rather continued your vitriolic rant in reply to others' posts, I have to conclude that you have no coherent response, hence the bolded above, the old, "Well, if you don't know, I'm certainly not going to tell you!" dodge.

So, being a "deceitful harpy" is a good thing?

For Hillary, it's not. Or so say the polls. She's damaged goods, methinks.
