Women's Work

I honestly believe that some of Hillary's supporters are logical and rational. No...really...I do! Its just hard for me to believe there are so many uneducated americans that simply refuse to look at the issues objectively. What will do wonders to lower the rhetoric and name calling is first let's agree that the rules should be followed first and foremost. We may not agree with the remedies but starting with the rules will allow everyone a point of reference. Now...is it fair to believe the Hillary should get all the votes in Michigan and Barack get zero? If you say yes....It would be better for you to live in Bagdad

Hillary DOES have experience and a record of accomplishment. Nothing can take that away. But what she doesn't have (and this is a biggie) is the delegates needed to win the nomination. After Tuesday, the superdelegates will step up and end this process. It's time.

It's not that "Team Obama" "blocked" a revote. He just didn't cower and give in to Hillary trying to change the rules to try to steal the nomination. Hillary has lost fair and square. I'm sorry she's in the fetal position sucking her thumb over this loss, but it's time to suck it up and unite the party.

I might begin to take these woman seriously if they hadn't started as rabid Hillary supporters. I question the purity of their motives as much as I question those of Hillary Clinton. They simply have no credibility. Hillary only wants "fairness" that benefits her. Her blind ambition, condescending speeches and shameless pandering have ballooned to vulgar proportions, she has simply become a cartoon of her former self.

If you want to see how well she would run the country, just look at her campaign, it's been rife with controversy, money problems, leadership problems and staff turnovers. Hillary might be a good legislator or even Supreme Court Justice, but she just does not have the stature of a leader, and that has nothing to do with her gender, so let's try not to use that as a crutch when she finally bows out.

Hillary and her minions (sorry for the name calling folks, but this is getting really disgusting, and anyone who is following Hillary at this point in her candidacy for president is because of personal principles...not whats best for the USA) are operating on anger right now. let these guys have whatever it is they want so that we can move forward.

As someone said below, I hope that those that are crying foul won't do so in November when she is backing Obama. I wonder if all this would be happening if it were Al Gore whipping her to death instead of Obama.

I find it interesting that the same types of phrases that have been used for years to exclude women from opportunities -- such as "[name] is a fine [person], but [s]he could use some seasoning, and it's evidence of [her] youth that [s]he was so impatient" -- are now used by Ms. Camposano to propose minimizing opportunities for a man (Sen. Obama). Et tu?

Voters in Michigan had only Hillary on the ballot and 45% still didn't vote for her. LOL

It's just not happening for Hillary-baby (or should that be baby-Hillary) this year, I agree. And I've seen the "Young Hillary Clinton" video - how appropriate. While I saw her in the beginning as a contender (even though I liked Obama better) she had good points going for her and ...right up until the time she whined in that debate "Why do I get alL the hard questions first' I really thought she stood a chance and it would be a good, fair fight for the nomination like the Democratic needed and wanted to wage - wow. What rock was I living under??? This IS a Clinton (powered by Bill ) for heaven's sake.! Duh!

I knew the true colors were going to wave in a matter of a few weeks - and they have. Sooo glad the Clinton's didn't disappoint me.

But what I can't understand is WHY the Democratic party is even considering hearing about the FLA and Michigan seating at the convention. The rules were agreed to at the onset - and now, because Hillary is behind, they need to be reconsidered. If it goes against her (and personally, I think it should) she'll whine, cry, pout and throw a hissy fit in general to get her way, because she still believes "something will happen". Her campaign effectively ended when she made that awful remark about RFK. Period.

I just think she ruined her chances by letting Bill say whatever he wanted, and whining about the "rules" and the "poor Hillary, everyone is picking on her" routine. She should have locked Bill in his hotel room a long time ago.

The questions for this article seemed pre-coked and canned to me.. Several of them seemed to set up the answers rather than maintain good objectivity.

As for the standpoint of the answers, they aren't based on very good fact in several areas, "In hindsight [the

estimated cost of a revote in Florida and Michigan] is nothing compared to what's being spent and the energy being expended over this problem now.estimated cost of a revote in Florida and Michigan] is nothing compared to what's being spent and the energy being expended over this problem now."
is way off base, and should have been challenged immediately by the reporter. This group seems to want their vote to count more.

My mother taught me to follow the rules. It bothers me that women are so anxious to disregard the rules of the game just to see a woman win the nomination. What kind of example are they setting for our children? Will our daughters now think that the only way they can get where they want to be is to claim sexism when thwarted? Will they think it's okay to use race to try to disable a competitor of another color? Will they think the only way to win is to get fight as dirty as the boys?

We women have strengths to call upon without resorting to lying outright and by inuendo,, having a sense of entitlement, pandering, failing to abide by agreed upon rules, or calling for demonstrations. She is living up to all the stereotypes and I am embarrassed and disheartened by what is happening.

A MUST watch for those interested in the DNC's Rules Committee meeting!

Democrat vs Republican: ( I love this story)

A Father/Daughter Talk

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of 'the redistribution of wealth.'

She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.

One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.

Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She did not even have time for a boyfriend, and did not really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.

Her father listened and then asked, 'How is your friend Audrey doing?'

She replied, 'Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over.'

Her wise father asked his daughter, 'Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.'

The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, 'That wouldn't be fair! I have worked hard for my grades! I have invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!'

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, 'welcome to the Republican Party.???

I never thought I would vote Republican but the DNC is surely mking a strong case for doing so. It is embarassing that some layers would say: OK count these guys' votes but not these.
