You've got to be joking Womyn......you don't think a man can be a feminist?  Of course they can and should be. 

 

I'll vote for a woman when we have one worth voting for, and not just because she's a woman but because she's a strong candidate on her own and doesn't need her "husband" to shore up her campaign. 

 

Sorry, I don't watch CNN.  Too much news repeated over and over will make you brain dead.

 

You ask these silly questions regarding when is the last time that Obama blah, blah, blah....why not ask the same of Hillary?  She's never had to worry about any of those things either.  Obama has a strong wife with her own opinions and two small daughters.  There are many men out there who are considered feminists not because they have to be (like a woman) but because they know it's the right thing to be.  Egad.....why would I vote for a woman, just because she's a woman?  

 

I'll vote for a woman, when there is a strong one running for office....not Hillary.    

 

 

 

 

 

To quote the controversial Rev.Wright....."Oh no, no, no"  I will not vote for Hillary, to settle and vote because she's a woman, "Oh, no, no, no".  By your reasoning Womyn, I should have supported the candidacy of Elizabeth Dole, when she ran.  To assume a man does not know the plight of a woman, is to assume that someone cannot understand the plight of someone who has cancer, or has been raped, or is blind......just because you haven't experience them, doesn't mean you cannot work for them or know that their road is hard.  To say a man cannot be a feminist, is saying NO MAN has ever been raised by a single mother.  To say a man cannot fight the good fight for women is to say men never played a role in the movement of women's equality and that simply isn't the case. 

 

I defended Rev.Wright to say what he did, and still do, although just as Obama, I've decided that Rev. Wright has his own agenda which has absolutely NOTHING to do with furthering his Christianity or to not do harm to Obama's campaign.  It is very possible for you to be inspired by someone for 20 years and not really know them....look at Hillary and Bill.  And unless you are in the top most 1% of the economic ladder, then I think you and those in the lower 99% are way too concerned about their taxes and how they will somehow be mistreated.  Believe me, they are not worrying about you paying over a third of your income in taxes and  they a mere 15%. 

 

You complain about what Rev.Wright says, and compare it to what Clinton said, but the reality of it is that Rev. Wright is not running for president, but Clinton is.  Clinton, the supposed feminist, has a record of belittling women who chose to stay at home, like I did.  I baked cookies, and I'm proud of it. 

 

I raised two independent and talented women, and whatever their choices, I will support them.  My mother was a career woman and so were both of my grandmothers, one being a small business owner.  The women in my family, which includes my sister, my neices and my daughters all are supporting Obama, not because they are not feminist, because they ARE, but because they feel that he is the best candidate for the future of our country, including women.  My mother is the only woman in our family that is a Hillary supporter and it is purely because she is a woman, and she has stated so.  I don't think that is a good enough reason.  I'm sorry but I will be so very disappointed if she happens to be the next president because I think there will be very little change in Washington and it will be business as usual.     

BTW, I hope that when Obama wins the nomination, that he DOESN'T ask Hillary to be his running mate.....I'll think much less of him if he does.

 

 

 

I totally disagree with almost everything you have said Womyn, but then, that is the way of politics.  Hillary would not even be in the running if it were not for so many people think they are getting a twofer....Bill is the deciding factor.  Secondly, she would not be getting votes is she were "Henry" Clinton instead of "Hillary" Clinton....some women, and you sound like one of them, are voting for her simply because she's a woman and we "we need a womyn's perspective and solutions".   A man can be a feminist (someone who subscribes to the ideology that women are EQUAL to men) and a person who has never had cancer can be an oncologist, like a white person could be a member of MLK's civil rights movement, a straight person can act on, speak out about and be supportive of gay rights, so forth and so on.  We will see who gets the nomination for the democrats this time, and to say if Obama gets the nod then we automatically will get a McCain presidency is a Rovian scare tactic at best.  Someone in the Hillary campaign has been using those tactics all along and they are getting really really old.   

I was a Hillary supporter when the campaign began. I have voted for her as my Seantor twice.

The nature of the campaign run by those she chose led her down the wrong path. And ultimately that is her responsibility.

It was Sen. Clinton's campaign that caused me to change my mind on what sort of person (often clearly shown by who they surround themselves with) I want to see in the White House.

It makes me more sad than I can tell you.

It was hers to lose. And she did just that

Not to defend Hillary cause my vote it going to McCain, but at least Hillary knows how many states there are.
