“3 AM for Feminism”

Beating on Hillary Clinton to distract from the problems of the Obama candidacy is a dangerous strategy. It indicates an addiction to hate and a love of the conflict. That makes it amateur hour. You won’t get her 18 million that way and he will lose some of his 49%.
You best figure out who your opponent is because he certainly knows who you are and he has considerable assets to throw at you courtesy of the primaries.

I don’t care what went on and now it is OVER ,he does not need her on this ticket would be a bad move.All the womoen who don’t get there way cry boo —hoo they don’t treat us right..You know what play the game right or get to hey out.

Not saying there was no sexism in this primary race, but sexism was NOT the main reason Clinton lost. It’s very simple and convenient to blame it just on sexism.

Sexism was a Factor. No one can deny that.
The DNC power machine, was another factor.
Clinton did not submit to the DNC supremacy plan, Power, greed and complete control. So she had to go.
She invoked rights, she invoke for the people. She invoked for the Country.
Obama submitted his consolation prize is Black Liberation, and reparations for slavery, and making history.
DNC will rule the country, Obama will be the front person and spokesman who is able to talk the people into anything at all.
It is not about you. it is not about me, or the people, or the best interest of the country. It is about power and control.
Clinton bucked the power machine, and was thrown off.

Sorry, but you are not strong enough to endure someone picking on your pantsuits, then you are not strong enough to be leader of the Free World.

Obama will be another Bush term–arrogant, inexperienced and propped up by his party and money.
McCain isn’t flashy or a good speaker but those shallow qualities won’t protect our country.
McCain has a proven record, a history we can depend on, true patriotism, humility, strength and experience.
I won’t support Obama even with Hillary’s encouragement.

Who are the wimpy insecure pundits, the ones afraid of stong women, going to bash after Hillary has moved on?
So what’s next an attack on McCain’s age? I hope they turn off veterans and older voters along with the women.
More votes for McCain.

The continued calls for Clinton to drop out were unprecedented. They were not addressed but encouraged by the party leadership. They were sexist and never would have happened to a man. And they also gave us a glimpse at the party we have been voting for.
Just as Democrats flock to Obama this election has exposed the weakness of the party leaders who encouraged this situation….the party base (the voters not the activists) will be looking elsewhere.

“And we have Primaries to weed out the weak ones.”
Eugenics? Not exactly a Democratic strategy. The National Socialist thought is a grand idea.

Savage Politics:
BARACK OBAMA IS NOT AN HORRENDOUS CANDIDATE BECAUSE OF HIS SKIN COLOR(SOME MIGHT SAY HE IS IN SPITE OF IT), BUT RACE “WAS” and “IS” A FACTOR IN THIS ELECTION.
OBAMA HAS BECOME ONE OF THE MOST CORRUPTING INFLUENCES IN OUR POLITICAL/PUBLIC LIFE, EXACTLY BECAUSE OF HIS RACE-BAITING AND DISHONESTY. THE MEDIA AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY HAVE BASICALLY INSULTED HUNDREDS OF YEARS OF STRUGGLE FOR RACIAL SOLIDARITY AND EQUALITY, BY PURPOSELY CHOOSING THE LEAST CAPABLE “BLACK MAN” THAT THEY COULD HAVE FOUND WITHIN THEIR OWN RANKS, AND HAVE VESTED HIM WITH A CREDIBILITY HE NEVER EARNED”.
AND NOW THE LAST OF THE DEMOCRATIC ELITES, THE ONES WHO HAD ENDORSED AND SUPPORTED HILLARY CLINTON ALL THIS TIME, ARE NOW READY TO SHOMEHOW PITCH NEW ARGUMENTS OF WHY EVERYONE SHOULD JUMP INTO OBAMA’S SHIP, EVEN IF THEY ALL DISAGREE WITH HIS CAPACITY AND DECENCY AS A CANDIDATE(AND EVEN WHILE IT IS SLOWLY SINKING).
DOES ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THE STENCH OF SUBMISSION AND SERVILITY FUMING OUT OF THESE INDIVIDUALS? IF WE ALL KNOW THAT OBAMA IS A BOLD FACED LIAR, A THIEF, A SEXIST AND A RACIST; DOES IT REALLY MATTER IF HE SELLS THE IDEA OF DEMOCRATIC POLICIES WHICH WERE NOT ONLY THOUGHT OUT BY SOMEONE ELSE, BUT OF WHICH HE HAS NO POWER TO ENFORCE”.

WELL SEEMS TO ME CLINTON WANTED TO PLAY WITH THE BIG BOYS SHE SHOULD OF TAKEN IT LIKE THE BOYS JUST BECAUSE SHE WAS A WOMAN MEANS SHE HAD TO HAVE SPECIAL TREATMENT DONT THINK SO SO GET OVER THE SEXISIT THING AND I AM A WOMAN AND I DONT FEEL SHE LOST BECAUSE OF SEXISIM SHE MADE ALOT OF MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY NOW GET OVER THIS BS AND MOVE ON!!!!

Spock, you hit it right on the nail. The Democrats/Liberals are more concerned about the bogus global warming issue that they don’t care what happens to the economy. They want corporations and small businesses to comply with the 50% emissions cuts, regardless of how many employees they have to lay off in order to pay for the added expense. It is outrageous that the Democrats/Liberals refuse to give the American people any relief on energy costs. They continue to block attempts to increase our supply of domestic oil (block new drilling, block the building of new refineries) and they refuse to allow the expansion of nuclear energy. But what is really sad is the American electorate appears ready to give the Democrats/Liberals huge majorities in both Houses of Congress and control of the White House. That will give the Democrats/Liberals free reign to destroy the free market and our economy and free reign to control every aspect of our personal lives both in their misguided attempt to prevent global warming and in the name of preventative health care (an intregal part of their womb-to-tomb universal health care).

Clinton’s gendered imagery:
- “I’m your gal!”
- “If you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.”

angie,
she did take it like the big boys,
the big boys (whoever they are)
could not have stood up and kept going wtih what the media (male and female) were throwing at her.
everyone involved in this obama and his group, supporters, surrogates, dnc, and msm KNEW they could NOT beat her fair and square so they all stacked the deck against her, and she kept standing and holding her head up high.
_______________________________________
now to the person who said sen. clinton still being on the scene is ruining her legacy, I say maybe in your clouded mind and eyes, but the history book story about sen. clinton and her good work for the american people is written and set. (it was long before she ran for president-being able to add she got this far as a presidential cand. is just gravy)
the good sen. clinton has done is well recorded.
sen. clinton’ good works legacy is intact.
and no amount of your saying this has ruined it will change that.

THIS IS WHY CLINTON LOST; NOT ALL 50 STATES MATTERED TO HER:
From MSNBC’s Athena Jones:
“From the start, theirs had been a big-state strategy that paid little attention to caucuses. Bill hadn’t done well in them either, the New York senator grew fond of reminding reporters in the midst of her series of losses in February.”
SEXISM IS A CONVENIENT EXCUSE.

maggie,
you’ve got that right!
going to jail
in jail
out of jail on parole.

FIRED UP! — If your daughter started getting different treatment from the refs than the other male players, you might understand the frustration of so many at how the media (the “refs”) created an evironment where Hillary was treated different b/c she’s a woman.
Show me one other candidate EVER who’s appearance, sex life, or sexual preference has been so widely discussed? Show me one other candidate EVER who was referred to as the equivalent of a bitch, a shrew, a hag, Sybil, Macbeth’s wife, etc? Show me one other candidate EVER who kept be asked to leave when there was always a chance of winning? Show me one other candidate EVER who won so many votes and still had to answer questions about why run?
Show me that and then I might believe sexism had no role in the campaign.

disambiguates – the Carly Fiorina who lost half of HP’s value during her tenure and who was fired? Not really best example …

Stella…you nailed this one. I am a very offended Latino.Not only that Obama disrespected us by stealing Cesar Chavez’s slogan of “yes we can” but more because we’ were told we didn’t matter.
I said this before and I’ll say it again…
TAKE IT FROM A LATINO..IT WILL BE CLINTON OR MCCAIN. ……. MCCAIN it is.

Really calls for her to drop out weren’t sexist. They were accompanied by vicious name calling with the standard mysoginistic terms as well as Tonya Harding, Glen close in Fatal Atrraction etc. etc.
Ted Kennedy went all the way to convetion 700 delegates behind the sitting President that he was challenging. He was one of the people calling on her to drop out.
Sorry, its sexism and mysoginy. There is no other excuse or explaination and it was committed by elected Democrats.
There is no other democracy in the world where a major candidate would be forced out of the race before the convention with the number of delegates she had. No where else. It was disgusting and the DNC is obviously not interested in winning in Nov.

Women who in the future follow Hillary’s footsteps pursuing the presidency will be able to benefit from her historic campaign.
The problem today isn’t that woman candidates can’t get elected but rather that hardly any ever run.
Hopefully that will change after this election.

HRC LOST BECAUSE SHE IS HRC AND NOT BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN.
Sexism hasn’t stopped women in other countries from becoming Presidents and Prime Ministers.
Have a GOOD CAMPAIGN STRATEGY and you will win regardless…

El_Pajaro -
Totally agree.

eva,
what are you trying to say?
i as an african american woman voted for sen. clinton not because she is a woman, but because she has all the right qualifications and the will to put this country back on the right track.
if obama had come to the table with the good works of sen. clinton i would have supported him
only the people who based their votes on its the first woman or the first african american-see people who didn’t vote for their choice in the eyes of being anti woman or anti black.
for me it was always the issues
and obama didn’t have it then and he will not have it in nov.
and all of you people who are obama supporters ragging on mccain now.
should have thought about that before you voted for obama.
it will be on your’s and the msm head
when we get mcsame bomb iran woman hating mccain for president.
the media cheated the american voters out of being able to intelligently decide if obama was the RIGHT candidate to run the dem. party.
and now today, since you have obama,
the msm are talking in the same breath the historic significance of obama and the weakness of him. and how he will probally not win, or do you think he can win the ge.

Sure thing, Sweetie….

Posted by: Iris,
I agree Iris. Hillary suffered a loss because of who she is and because of poor strategy. Period. All this feminist foolishness and the idiots being led around the nose by talks of sexism will accomplish, is make it harder for the next woman to run for office. The next woman will be lucky to get support from anyone but gays and women. Men aren’t stupid. They won’t vote for someone that will have the potential to effect an election by false claims of sexism!

one last thing,
when the black people started to vote 90% for obama, without finding out all about him, this became about race.
this election this year should NEVER have been about race.
the war played a part also
the war is one along with the economy should have stayed front and center.
but with the msm playing on this race thing and breaking it down between blacks and whites.
has sealed obama’ doom in the ge.
because many of the people who voted for obama as a vote AGAINST sen.clinton
will not push that button for obama in the ge. because in spite of all of his speeches obama has shown he can beat sen. clinton. he has not shown he has what it takes to run this country.
and in the ge that will be the big issue.
the dnc with the help of the msm did the dem. voters a disservice this time around.

18,000,000 voted for Hillary and if five% of them stick to there guns and vote Mccain Obama will be nothing more than Hillary History.

bishop,
i know now the dnc must be so anti-clinton that they either knew this and didn’t care or they are now just dumbfounded and scratching their heads wondering what to do.
they were more worried about losing the black vote.
which historically for blacks when has a vote for a clinton been a loss for the blacks.

Personally I do belive there certainly was some sexism in this race but to say there was more sexism in this race than racism might be the biggest whopper I’ve EVER heard. Because I’m so sure it’s much easier to run for the presidential nomination as a black man named Barack Hussein Obama than as a white woman.

Flordia voter you are upset well so are we.

If you want to be mad be mad at the right people when I was a democrat last week I would have voted Obama but I will not now there are to many fixed things about this election like the night Obama becomes thier canidate just happens to be MLK I had a dream sp. 40 years and since I have been around I have never seen a democrat treated as bad as Hillary was .

More demonetization of Hillary Clinton. Do any of you ever wonder, if the media is so dead set on destroying someone (Clintons) that maybe they have an agenda? And maybe that agenda is not in your best interest?

*********************************
No need to wonder b/c now it is BHO’s turn on the screws.
We ain’t seen nothing as what is to come piling on him from the RNC who own the media!
Racism will be rampart and poor BHO and Michelle will be annihilated!
Just vote McCain.

as an african american woman voted for sen. clinton not because she is a woman, but because she has all the right qualifications and the will to put this country back on the right track.
if obama had come to the table with the good works of sen. clinton i would have supported him
——————————-
jgaw you said it best your post is spot on.
All the jawing going on does not change the fact that the DNC did the worst possible thing in setting up 2 minorities to go after the presidency.
A 6 year vetted qualified Senator, a woman who worked for the Democrats for YEARS!
A 143 day Senator, unknown, unvetted, inexperienced. A young black man with a far, far left background with dubious friends.
They then savaged the woman.
They supported the black man at every level, money, media fame, idolatry, cried out he was a VICTIM at every turn!
I must vote for McCain.
Your fault DNC, you set it up, you set us up to fail again!

Boston – please point out the policy differences between Hillary and Obama.. maybe you can count them on one hand. Even Hillary admits that. Listen to Hillary… Don’t vote for McCain. A vote for McCain is a vote AGAINST HILLARY. If you love her so much why do you threaten to betray the America in which she beleive?

boston,
the obama supporter have to say that,because that is what THEY have been TOLD, they don’t know if there is a difference or not.
THEY know Sen. clinton is smart, so if it can be said that obama has the same polices as sen. clinton that is good enough for them.

Last week, even Howard Dean admitted that there were many sexist remarks and actions directed toward HRC and how he deplored all such actions. Where was he when these sexist comments were being made?? Oh yeah, he was in the corner with the people making those sexist remarks, the Obama camp! And Dean got his payback from Obama yesterday for his ignoring any sexist comments untill it was all over. Kieth Oberman and jack Cafferty really seem to enjoy making rude and sexist comments about HRC. Any hint of racism, real or imagined was played up byt Obama/Dean/Peposi but they completely ignored all the hatefull sexist comments aimed at HRC. Well Now I’m ignoring those hollow calls for dem party unity. Should have thought about unity a long time ago. Cause I’m already gone. I heard for months how HRC was really a closet republican so my voting for McCain should be completely understandable. And its the old line party activists that the
DNC has alienated, not just some causual sometime voters. BYE BYE

Absolutley, directly from the former President.

Nobody really knows who BO is (his real self and character, his real convictions) while the media and BO supporters, the Dem militants and activists indulged in bashing her.
How can one vote for presidency a candidate that is not so known?

Tricia,
I would say :
they can’t stand the heat, that’s why they got her out of the kitchen!

Too many people put
color
before
country.
Too many people accepted
conceit and arrogance
for content and substance.
Too many people wore blinders
on their minds
and hatchets in their mouths.
Too many people supported the
broken down, out of touch DNC.
Now there will be less of them.

Calls for HRC to step down by her male peers was a behavior, not part of the democratic process. The democratic process encourages votes and record voting turnout. It also allows mediation with the DNC.
As an example of behaviors which are lacking in respect, Edwards could have taken his concerns privately to Clinton but instead aired them as publicly as possible. He said she should get out of the race as he simultaneously backed Obama, which was immediately after she had a landslide victory in WVA. Of course, women reacted to that!
The irony is that as Clinton’s male peers were complaining about her damaging democratic unity, their complaints were causing women to feel increasingly divisive towards the party. The behavior of prominent democratic leaders has truly left a lot to be desired.
But when you look at the alternative, it’s definitely time to put aside the recent shortcomings of a handful of men . . .
