Hillary Clinton @ SNL

It’s working for Hillary, people are starting to feel sorry for her. You call this a leader. Vote for Hillary because they are not fair to me. You Hillary supporter are just a brain-dead as she is.

It’s quite clear that Obama is running for presidency for us, the American people. He has the logic, integrity, instinct, and the mind to lead us to get involved and care about United States. He will shift this country for a better change.
As a woman, Hillary does not represent the ethics and principles of the female front in America. I truly believe her running for presidency is for personal gain, not for our interest. Her emotionally willful and contradicting manner provides no solution for our future. She proved it time and time again in the media, without using any logic, how “unbalanced” she is.
Furthermore, her resume is nothing more than being a senator of NY, nothing more, nothing less. Why is she more qualified than the other candidates? She supported the WAR in Iraq 8 yrs ago and now she pushing a health care bill that will MANDATE. Oh yes, her globe trotting “80 countries” was following Bill around and promoting her book… If she gets nominated I will NOT vote.
The poll shows that Obama will beat McCain in the election.

Go Hillary! I’m so glad the media bias was shown on SLN. I’m sick and tired of the media. Hillary is far from being out of the race. They’re almost dead even. How is that being seen as Obama as a front runner???
Keep on going Hillary.

TO clintonian:
Obama was a senator when the vote to go to war was taken. He was a state senator.

Hillary is a conniving manipulative WARMONGER.

Obama twists things like he didn’t agree on the Iraq war. He wasn’t even a senator yet, then.
*************************************************
Obama didn’t twist anything. He was a state senator WHO WAS AGAINST WAR.

Hillary hag VOTED FOR WAR.

I hope Hillary wins GO HILLARY

It will be a HUGE cleanse for us, to get rid of the female TOXIC liar… She is an embarrassment to the government, the U.S., and us females.

Go OBAMA!!!

There are many women here in NYC that have regrets voting for Hillary on Super Tuesday. They will cast their ballot for Obama at the presidential election this November. If HC gets nominated, these women, including myself, will not vote.

groundcontrol: thanks for that link! again, you bring up valid points on how obama has a habit of distancing himself from his own campaign whenever it gets any heat.

that is the polar opposite of ‘the buck stops here’ accountability that american presidents ought to possess. obama is weak, irresponsible and impetus. i mean, even his own reluctance to ‘denounce and reject’ farrakhan’s endorsement the moment it happened already demonstrates his weakness. he only ‘conceded the point’ when pressed. that to me, is a huge RED FLAG. his lack of conviction, eagerness to please, yet he’s the one who wants to have it both ways. he accuses his opponent of it, yet he does it himself in even greater doses and in more substantial issues.

additionally, his experience and intelligence when it comes to foreign policy and economics puts him at par with g.w. bush, which is a fact i wish more people would recognize. we are in a very delicate time to enable someone to “train” in the office of president.

you’re also right about his ingratitude. the clintons were very supportive of him at the outset, and any implication that the clintons are not for african americans in any way is an outright and blatant lie and a sorry attempt by obama at defamation. it’s another smoke and mirrors move to divert from the real issue at hand: obama is not qualified and is far from prepared to take on the presidency. when you have a congressman go on national tv and can’t name a single accomplishment, that alone should signal the candidate’s incompetence.

from the new republic:
“it is a commentary on the cutthroat, fraudulent politics that lie at the foundation of Obama’s supposedly uplifting campaign.”

that says it all. the hypocrisy in the obama campaign is ridiculous. obama voters will soon realize that they are biting into a rotten apple that looks shiny and glossy on the outside. just a simple comparison into the individuals who endorse both candidates demonstrates the kind of people obama attracts.

it really is incredible the kind of power the media wields. if tv were not around today, hillary would be miles ahead of obama right now.

wake up, america! it’s not too late to do the right, prudent thing for our country. GO, HILLARY!

Why Women Hate Hillary
She reinforces the Genghis Khan principle of American politics that our leaders must be ruthless and macho
By Susan J. Douglas from inthesetimes.com

Hillary wants to be more like a man in her demeanor and politics, leaving some basic tenets of feminism in the dust. She is like patriarchy in sheep’s clothing.

We sat around the dinner table, a group of 50-something progressive feminists, talking to a friend from England about presidential politics. We were all for Hillary, weren’t we, he asked. Hillary? We hated Hillary. He was taken aback. Weren’t we her base? Wasn’t she one of us? Why did we hate Hillary?

Of course, a lot of people seem to hate Hillary. According to some polls, anywhere from 39 to 50 percent of respondents claim they’d vote against her no matter what; her “negatives” continue to be high. Many of these are Republicans and men. But many are not. According to a Harris poll in March, 52 percent of married women said they would not vote for her. Nearly half of adults say they dislike her personality and her politics. Unlike her husband, people seem to find her cold and don’t see her connecting with everyday people, and this is especially true for married women. Ironically, it is Gen Xers, those between 31 and 42, who give her the most support.

So what gives? For people like my friends and me, her hawkish position on Iraq and her insistence that the U.S. maintain a military presence there even after the troops are withdrawn have been very disappointing. But it’s more than any specific position. Women don’t trust Hillary. They see her as an opportunist; many feel betrayed by her. Why?

Baby boomer women grew up with the Feminine Mystique and then came of age with the Women’s Liberation Movement. As a result, millions of us have spent our lives crafting a compromise—or a fusion—between femininity on the one hand and feminism on the other. And for many of us feminism did not mean trying to be more like men. It meant challenging patriarchy: trying to bring equity to family life, humanizing the workplace, prioritizing women’s issues in politics, and confronting the dangers of militarism and imperialism. And millions of us fought (and continue to fight) these battles wearing lipstick, skirts and a smile: the masquerade of femininity we are compelled to don.

Hillary, by contrast, seems to want to be more like a man in her demeanor and politics, makes few concessions to the social demands of femininity, and yet seems to be only a partial feminist. She seems above us, exempting herself from compromises women have to make every day, while, at the same time, leaving some of the basic tenets of feminism in the dust. We are sold out on both counts. In other words, she seems like patriarchy in sheep’s clothing.

One of progressive feminism’s biggest (and so far, failed) battles has been against the Genghis Khan principle of American politics: that our leaders must be ruthless, macho empire builders fully prepared to drop the big one if they have to and invade anytime, anywhere. When Geraldine Ferraro ran for vice president in 1984, the recurring question was whether she had the cojones to push the red button, as if that is the ultimate criterion for leading the country. And while American politics has, for years, been all about the necessity of displaying masculinity, Bush, Cheney and Rove succeeded in upping the ante after 9/11 so that the sight of John Kerry windsurfing meant he wasn’t man enough to run the country. But now, with the massive failures of this callous macho posture everywhere—a disastrous war, a deeply endangered environment and more people than ever without health insurance—millions are desperate for a new vision and a new model of leadership.

All of this frames many women’s reactions to Hillary. If she’s a feminist, how could she continue to support this war for so long? If she’s such a passionate advocate for children, women and families, how could she countenance the ongoing killing of innocent Iraqi families, and of American soldiers who are also someone’s children? If it would be so revolutionary to have a female as president, why does she feel like the same old poll-driven opportunistic politician who seems to craft her positions accordingly?

Maybe women like me are being extra hard on Hillary because she’s a woman. After all, baby boomer women couldn’t be “as good” as men in school or the workplace; we had to be better, to prove that women deserved equal opportunities. And this is part of the problem too. We don’t want the first female president to be Joe Lieberman in drag, pushing Bush-lite politics. We expect something better.

Clearly, Hillary and her advisors have calculated that for a woman to be elected in this country, she’s got to come across as just as tough as the guys. And maybe they’re right. But so far, Hillary is not getting men Maybe women like me are being extra hard on Hillary because she’s a woman.

But so far, Hillary is not getting men with this strategy, and women feel written off. After the dark ages of this pugnacious administration, many of us want to let the light in. We want a break with the past, optimism, and a recommitment to the government caring about and serving the needs of everyday people. We want what feminism began to fight for 40 years ago—humanizing deeply patriarchal institutions. And, ironically, we see candidates like John Edwards or Barack Obama—men—offering just that. If Hillary Clinton wants to be the first female president, then maybe, just maybe, she should actually run as a woman.

go hillary, stop the obama madness

Hillary Clinton is a Bush in sheep’s clothing.

Look at how close the Clintons and Bushes are. They are exactly the same and I have no intention of suffering through another one of their presidencies.

Obama 2008

Hillary is the best!
