Attention Must Be Paid

i'm sure he'll get some of those female voter. though, i wll not be one. i for one shall read up on nadar.

Reading your article made even clearer to me the reasons why I didn???t vote for
Senator Clinton.

This is why:

Hillary Clinton comes with a husband who is an ex president and with 8 years in the White House. She has many connections built over those and previous years some of which she is indebted to as well as to lobbyists and other interest groups.

In many instances she behaved like many of the male politicians I despise indulging in a negative campaign by attacking senator Obama forgetting who her opponent really was. As far as I???m concerned her opponent was John McCain and none other. She made erroneous statements that made her look in a favorable light. Other statements were in bad taste and made clear how power hungry she is or, perhaps, I should say the Clintons are.

I, like you, stand for the many issues you mention and agree that Obama would truly give women hope by both recognizing the role women play and by championing our causes and the many ways government can help us and therefore our society.

Having said this Id??? like to state that 40 of my 65 years I have lived in this country. I owe much to the freedoms women have (and take for granted) even though it???s clear that much needs to be done. Having lived elsewhere the first 25 years of my life I speak with the perspective that only experience can give.

Hillary Clinton lost my vote a long time ago. She does not represent me. She would never be a surrogate of mine.

BY the way, it???s the younger generations that are changing the world for the better. The old school politicians behave like bulls in a china shop and insanely continue to adopt the same ugly strategies to whatever comes there way: controlling, manipulating, lying, abusing, scapegoating, subrepticially taking over other governments, embargoing, attacking, invading, ignoring the needs of the American people.

In direct response to the column, I think a major address on gender issues would be welcome and I hope Sen. Obama does so. But I also believe that he addresses gender inequities regularly in all of his policy positions and personal and professional history. I believe as people get to know him better these will become more evident.

Otto the Wise , how about this for a discussion of McCain's serial adultery?
In his book, The Nightingale's Song, Robert Timberg chronicled McCain's post-Vietnam military assignments and some of his "adulterous" behavior leading to his divorce from Carol and marriage to Cindy Hensley.

Timberg wrote, "in the fall of 1974, McCain was transferred to Jacksonville as the executive officer of Replacement Air Group 174, the long-sought flying billet at last a reality. A few months later, he assumed command of the RAG, which trained pilots and crews for carrier deployments. The assignment was controversial, some calling it favoritism, a sop to the famous son of a famous father and grandfather [both were Navy admirals], since he had not first commanded a squadron, the usual career path."

While Executive Officer and later as Squadron Commander McCain used his authority to arrange frequent flights that allowed him to carouse with subordinates and "engage in extra-marital affairs." Such behavior was a violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice rules against adultery and fraternization with subordinates..

Timberg wrote, "Off duty, usually on routine cross-country flights to Yuma and El Centro, John started carousing and running around with women. To make matters worse, some of the women with whom he was linked by rumor were subordinates . . . At the time the rumors were so widespread that, true or not, they became part of McCain's persona, impossible not to take note of."

In early 1977, Admiral Jim Holloway, Chief of Naval Operations promoted McCain to captain and transferred him from his command position "to Washington as the number-two man in the Navy's Senate liaison office. It wasn't long before the "fun loving and irreverent" McCain had turned the liaison office into a "late-afternoon gathering spot where senators and staffers, usually from the Armed Services and Foreign Relations committees, would drop in for a drink and the chance to unwind."

In 1979 at a military reception in Honolulu, McCain met Cindy Hensley, an attractive 25-year-old woman from a very wealthy politically-connected Arizona family. Cindy's father, Jim, founded the Hensley and Company, the nation's third-largest Anheuser-Busch distributor.

McCain described their first meeting, "She was lovely, intelligent and charming, 17 years my junior but poised and confident. I monopolized her attention the entire time, taking care to prevent anyone else from intruding on our conversation. When it came time to leave the party, I persuaded her to join me for drinks at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. By the evening's end, I was in love."

While still married to Carol, McCain began an adulterous relationship with Cindy. He married Cindy in May 1980 -- just a month after dumping Carol and securing a divorce. The newlyweds honeymooned in Hawaii.

McCain followed his young, millionairess wife back to Arizona where

I think there will be no issue here for women that is not self inflicted. Obama has been respectful of Sen. Clinton, and FOR THE MOST PART only was perceived as negative when in response to a direct attack on his character by Sen. Clinton or McBush and even that was few and far between.
For example: When Hillary brought up William Ayers in the debate, asked of Obama's relationship with him and why, Obama reminded her that is was BILL CLINTON THAT PARDONED the CONVICTED members of that gruop, she had NO response, and it was sad he was negative...lol
Anyway, I think he will represent ALL Americans faithfully, and honestly. He will give all he has and use intelligence, restraint, compassion, and a strong and educated judgment when making the choices that will effect all of us.
Rest asured, he will be a ladies man...jk..lol that was bill c, right?
