Even one of my own girlfriends said she wasn't going to vote for Hillary because she's a woman and she would be emotional. I was shocked. This is a single mom who is a career woman.<BR/><BR/>Hillary came across to me as the same old politcal machine--giving stock answers and being a phony. If she was running against McCain, I'd vote for her--there's a lot more about her I like. However, I love Obama. He is for the poor and the middle class. I have never been so excited about an election. He reminds me of Kennedy and Lincoln. Please don't penalize him because Hillary didn't win. If McCain gets in, we will go into a real Depression--mark my words.<BR/><BR/>www.GreenerPastures--ACityGirlGoesCountry.blogspot.comGreener Pastures--A City Girl Goes Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448845964131250749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-90605321288945488522008-06-09T10:44:00.000-04:002008-06-09T10:44:00.000-04:00Good post.

I liked her comment about the glass ceiling that now has 8.5 million cracks in it. You're right on the money with women's issues. I'm not a man hater - I adore the men in my life. However, growing up feeling like a second class citizen has been hard to overcome. God has used Hollins University in my healing process, and for that I will forever be grateful. God created men and women to compliment one another - giving both sexes mutual respect. Witholding respect is dishonorable. My heart breaks for oppressed women everywhere. NBC News covered the Opium Brides in Afghanistan last night. I cry everytime I hear it.Clementinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745982305618408952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-89664928318109491192008-06-08T22:00:00.000-04:002008-06-08T22:00:00.000-04:00I agree with most of what you said, however don't ...I agree with most of what you said, however don't forget Hillary was guilty of a few missteps and ill advised statements. Of course, I'm not entirely sure what happened to Bill in the last few weeks, but he's acted totally out of character and made some really ignorant and untimely remarks. I'd like to think as a woman that I have the same rights and privileges as men, but it's evident that we're not thought of in the same way as our male counterparts. I heard it said the other day that the exceptional story of Hillary's campaign just happened at the wrong time in that it occured at the same time as Barack's. <BR/><BR/>I will admit that I was enamoured by Barack at the 2004 convention. He brought youth, excitement and enthusiasm to the podium that night and continues to deliver speech after speech with a rallying cry reminiscent of speeches of the Kennedy's and Dr King. I am concerned about his inexperience, but I figure that's what all of the advisers are for. This inexperience kept me for casting my primary vote for him, but now that the race is settled, I will support my party and support our candidate.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08252712031119705531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-69608468548808690512008-06-08T08:50:00.000-04:002008-06-08T08:50:00.000-04:00I missed Hillary's speech yesterday, but I underst...I missed Hillary's speech yesterday, but I understand she did a bang-up job with it.<BR/> <BR/>Speaking of female politicians, I still get sick to my stomach when I think about just how much we lost when Emily Couric died. I always had her pegged as our first female president, and this would probably have been her first run at it.ronbaileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10601905989540632203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-73789354708459324072008-06-08T08:45:00.000-04:002008-06-08T08:45:00.000-04:00Exactly - I felt we had gone backward decades........Exactly - I felt we had gone backward decades.....Amazing media blitz..sad to see really//I aad to roar for I Am Woman !!i beatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09898046178398533410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-24945439653222589582008-06-07T23:13:00.000-04:002008-06-07T23:13:00.000-04:00Hillary is still my heroine.Hillary is still my heroine.Chrystal Sanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15786792589787153968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-64787746023289007732008-06-07T19:03:00.000-04:002008-06-07T19:03:00.000-04:00What cannot get over is the intense level of hypoc...What cannot get over is the intense level of hypocrisy. When it comes to lopping arrows at the right, scrutinizing what the right says and done, the left is all for it. But when it comes to our own party, suddenly criticism is unacceptable. Everyone is on board, like the Bush’s you are friend or enemy, nothing in between. The DNC cheated Clinton. Donna Brazile told the base to stay home, that they (we) are not welcomed, that they want a new type of party, one that does not include us. The DNC stole four delegates from Clinton, stole. The DNC gave Obama support based on a hypothetical “what if.” Clinton was robbed. 18 million voters were robbed. We, as women are told, once again you will make way for the junior inexperienced man for the good of the team. I’m sick of it and I will not reward it. My vote is all I have and it is not free and will not go to abusers.The Fabulous Kitty Glendowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259506108044329136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-68601917987426495892008-06-07T14:29:00.000-04:002008-06-07T14:29:00.000-04:00Bravo.

Women's rights are civil rights too and they've been put back a generation at least by this disgraceful display of misogyny. If Hillary had been defeated on the basis of the issues - fair enough. But this whole thing has been a clash of media images, and hatred of women who "don't know their place" was the decisive factor.<BR/><BR/>What's more - it is still going on! The media which set this disgraceful tone are still bashing away at Hillary - for not giving in to the "lightbringer" fast enough to suit their tastes! Apparently they prefer people who stop when they tell them to and give in at the first whisper of criticism...<BR/><BR/>I'd have thought Democrats had had enough of that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32199165.post-34757029862999401122008-06-07T10:13:00.000-04:002008-06-07T10:13:00.000-04:00Although I've never been a Hillary supporter I agr...Although I've never been a Hillary supporter I agree that she definitely got short shifted, not just from the media but more so from her own party.Roanoke RnRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07135900149266075237noreply@blogger.com
