I Am Woman, Hear Me Snore

I am a woman in the military. Being outnumbered 50 to 1 can be overwhelming. We women need to learn how to support one another. The more we bash each other the more men think they can too. Hillary Clinton has had to make some very public choices dealing with her private life. I can't imagine having the entire nation know every detail about my husband cheating on me.

I don't think anyone should vote for any candidate just because she is a woman or because Obama is black, but I do think we need to judge each one of them on their own merits and pick the person who we feel is best suited for the presidency. A book where 30 female writers bash another woman shouldn't even be called a book, that's called a gossip magazine. If you dont like her, then dont vote for her, but dont pretend to know her. Dont act like you have the right to judge someone based on media reports. Everyone, man or woman has done something they are not very proud of, everyone has a skeleton in their closet, just because your closet hasnt been opened for the world to see does not make you any better or worse than Hillary Clinton.

Hillary will win. Go Hillary!!!!

Oh brother... I'm a 57 year old college educated woman. The fact is I will not vote for Hillary. I'm insulted to think I should feed obligated because she fulfills some sort of ideal of what the modern woman politician. I judge her no differently than I would a male candidate. I vote for whom I consider the best candidate PERIOD!

She's dishonest.
The only thing more snore-worthy than that book is this article.

But they can get the job done.... All this stuff people criticize Hillary about is nothing to what she can do for this country. This country is in dire straits I want someone in there who can get the job done. Obama? He loses papers on this desk. And it doesn't sound like he knew how to vote in the Senate.. when he was there for one whole year before he decided he was presidental material. Say what you will but we know that Bill balanced the budget. Hillary doesn't talk in generalizations like Obama does. HE doesn't tell me a thing. Promise, hope, together ness.. ? What's that? Tell me exactly how to plan to give health insurance to everyone and bring jobs back. Hillary as told us her speicific plans. Forget the minor fussing stuff and think about the serious issues. This country is slipping down the tubes as we help build China, India and other developing countries by giving them our jobs and by borrowing trillions of dollars from China. We need Hillary to clean up this mess that G. W. made. And we sure do not want another clueless president.

You can micro-analyze Hillary all you want and be wasted in the sheer effort. But come on, if Dubya can be elected twice, I would not think once before putting a stamp in her favor. All we need to find a vice-president. Oh wait, we can count on Billy boy.

I'm one of those people who will vote Republican if Hillary is nominated by the Democrats. Why? Because she is unethical and just a bit dodgy - like her husband. When she was caught taking money from the Chinese to fund her campaign, she just gave it back and thought America would forget her sellout. And she did it twice. If she is elected, Bill will be co-president - he can't help it; his ego is almost as big as this entire solar system. She was co-president when Bill was in office, and I think she'll return the favor. She's dishonest - saying that Obama was a slumlord in Chicago, for example - and she's shifty and sleazy. I wouldn't vote at all if she were the only candidate running.

I think that the authors are just trying to be too perfect. No one in this world will be perfect enough for them. Clinton supports policies we approve of and she has the background in government to make it happen. What more do women want? One thing I'm sure of, she will a lot better than the person who holds the office now! If she doesn't show much feelings, I think it is because let's face it, Americans don't want a cry baby woman leading the nation. Especially since this is a world run by men!

I have to agree with this article. Of the male and female bosses I've had, the men had all the advantages of the good old boy fraternity (while the business suffered). The women were much better at getting the job done, but they weren't well-liked. How curious it is that women so often despise other intelligent, ambitious, successful, powerful women. Is it jealousy? Suspicion? There's really no need for the male candidates to attack Hillary, women will do it for them. One step forward, two steps back for enlightenment and change.

I am one of the people who just never liked the Clintons. Their past shady dealings, the lies and cover-ups have just been too much. I feel they are simply power-hungry and manipulating, driven to win at all costs. Hillary is shameless and will pull any trick in the book to succeed. This run for the White House has been planned since before they left it 8 years ago. How can you trust or respect people like the Clintons, who don't respect themselves or other people? I would never support her/their run for public office. We need some integrity back in our country's administration.

Hillary is a woman driven to succeed, to be the best, the be the first. To be what her father demanded and exemplified. This mentality was implanted in her formative years and she can't change. Unlike a man with the same mentality, she also employs the tricks of the wily female, one who has had to resort to tears, smiles, manipulation, threats, etc. to get her way because she wasn't physically strong enough or didn't have enough testosterone warbling through her body to FORCE obedience. I've seen many women this way. My former boss is just such a woman. Although my boss did accomplishe a great deal, her motives and drives were of a different agenda. I did not trust her. Beware Hillary. When she went toward Chris Matthews to hug him, there was a glint of evil in her eyes and it wasn't just the bright lights.

I liked Hillary untill she and her husband pulled the race card. I'm sorry they did that. I would not like to see her in the White House for that reason alone. The Clintons come with too much baggage to ever be allowed back as President and Co- President.

Most people seem to have a problem w/ the fact that Hillary chose to stay w/ Bill after the sex scandal. That was her choice; we'll never know all the reasons. Would more women support her if she had kicked Bill to the curb the moment they left the White House? It's none of our business, nor should it factor into her abilities as a leader, why she's still w/ Bill. I admire her for being tough-minded and independent when it comes to politics. Were she a man, the press would be falling all over her, telling us how strong and decisive she is, not to mention how intelligent, which is the main ingredient lacking in the current resident of the White House.

However, I do think Hillary needs to muzzle Bill. I think he probably hurt her chances in SC (which is not to take away from Obama's huge win--good for him!) by being so negative towards Obama, particularly in a state where half the voters are African-American. Not a good plan. Hillary and Barack are both smart, capable, caring people--just run a clean race by talking about the issues, not each other. We don't need any more divisiveness in this country--the Republicans have done a bangup job of creating that very atmosphere over the past 12 or 15 years. It's time we all pulled together, put aside our petty differences, and get this country back on track, both here at home and in the world. I want to be proud to be an American again, not embarrassed! I fear that with the current Democratic atmosphere of division, we appear to the world to still be mired in the past, and more concerned with "should we vote for a black man or a white woman?" than with just choosing the person who can best lead us out of this mess we're in. Decide with your heads, people, not your prejudices!

At the beginning of this race somebody ask me what I personally think of Hillary and I replied "I'd marry her!".
Today after keenly following the story so far, I'd say "I'd still marry her, but I know why I won't vote for her".
As a 25y/o college grad male I think Hillary is that girl every male feminist wants to be with; strong, independent and intricate. Yet she's what I think any nation should loath to make its leader; divisive, guileful and egoistic. It???s almost bizarre when even being a democrat, a libertarian and a hardcore feminist the way I???d rather trust McCain for presidency of the nation before I???d trust a person I won???t mind sharing my life with to provide the same leadership and inspiration. So for me it has nothing to do with her being a woman.

I am a 24 year old woman, and I absolutely love and adore Hillary Clinton. I think she is a woman to look up to and a woman to be admired. I'm not quite sure why these women who wrote this book don't seem to like Hillary, it doesn't make sense to me, but the facts are they took the time to write an entire book about her, so I think that says a lot. She's on everyone's minds, and that in itself is a great thing. She is a modern, 21st century lady.

I was a fan of Clintons and hoped she would one day win the Whitehouse. I was thrilled when she declared her was running for the highest office. Recently, however, I am disgusted by the Clintons playing race card against Obama who has a very inspiring message of change and reconciliation between the races. This is so wrong and divisive that will hurt race relations for decades. Both, Bill and her, should be ashamed of themselves. How do they face their young daughter or look in the mirror? Have they no shame?

The other day Hillary asked Obama where were you ??? perhaps she should tell us where she was when good old Bill was being sexually serviced by a young intern little older than her own daughter? Any CEO of any corporation for a similar conduct would have been summarily dismissed for such conduct

To cast aside the beneft of shattering a glass ceiling is naive and improvident. Hillary Clinton should get the Democratic nomination because she is politically-savvy, hardworking, forthright, and, quite simply, the most able candidate for the job. However, failing to recognize this accomplishment within the context of progress and greater equality is a missed opportunity.

I think that seeing a family together, fighting together towards a common goal, only comes to show us how important our families really are. seeing the clintons together through thick and thin is what is really all about, Hillary was always doing something when clinton was around. and he is there for her now. i guess a lot of middle class women like you say with those women writers dislike her because she has what they all want, a family and a supporting husband that wants her to succeed in her goals.
