mere woman
I believe that all woman have a say in the voting, we have as much rights as a man would.
who should win
Honestly they all are going to try to act republican just to scrape republican votes, hilary is doing it and so is obama. I think obama will be a fresh face in office. Not because he is black but because he is new. We all knew hillary as the presidents wife before, but then obama came out of no where. This country is due for a change, we should also make judges in the suprem court have 4 years on the bench so we can get new ways of thinking in our government. Its about time we have a change. Vote Obama
Hillary and Bill Clinton are habitual liars and cheats
Wakeup people - do you want the whitehouse to become a whorehouse again? The only reason hillary supposedly forgave bill for his unfaithful nature is that he promised to help her become President of the United State of America. Yes, her running for president was planned and plotted by the Clintons. Senator Barack Obama through a monkey wrench into their conspiracy; however, the Clintons as the biggest bigots you will ever see believe for Barack to become president over Hillary is not only a fantasy - he don't stand a chance in hell because he is a black man. Hillary and Bill Clinton are merely partners in crime, and feel Hillary is entitled to the whitehouse and that black supporters will help them accomplish their conspiracy to take over the whitehouse and embarrase the country one last time. Why else would HELLARY! be willing to take on this task. If the American people are not extremely careful the Clintons will obtain their goal. After an many around their inner circles know the Clintons think about me, myself and I. The suckers who allow them to get into the big white house again, definitely deserves everything the Clintons gives them - yes plenty more of Monica Lowenskis.
Strong in Convictions?
I'm guessing honesty's not a strong conviction for Hillary then...(points at Bosnia). Also, she said for a week, I could accept that she misspoke if it happened once, sadly, it was for a week.
WHITE WOMEN FOR HILLARY
Melissa of DC another white woman for Obama
we feel sorry for you! Obama is not for ANY white person, PAY ATTENTION, READ, RESEARCH, let alone any white women!

Shame on you!
Eleanor Roosevelt taught us that sometimes silence is the greatest sin
by Mrs. Lyndon Baines (Ladybird) Johnson
Former First Lady, United States Of America
Women can move beyond the struggle for equal status and for material goods to the challenges and opportunities of citizenship. Quality of goals and the achievement of goals which will mean a better life for all. For me, it was the beginning of seeing how politics can bring tangible results. I always hope that the very best of our people will go into politics, and I am sure that some of our best are women. So, I say: "Don't hold back. Don't be shy. Step forward in every way you can to plan boldly, to speak clearly, to offer the leadership which the world needs. Let us today earnestly resolve to build the true foundation for Eleanor Roosevelt's memory--to pluck out prejudice from our lives, to remove fear and hate where it exists, and to create a world unafraid to work out its destiny in peace. Eleanor Roosevelt has already made her own splendid and incomparable contribution to that foundation. Let us go and do likewise, within the measure of our faith and the limits of our ability. Let Eleanor Roosevelt teach Us all how to turn the arts of compassion into the victories of democracy.Eleanor Roosevelt taught us that sometimes silence is the greatest sin.
OBAMA WOULD VOTE FOR HILLARY!
I think very highly of Hillary. I admire her. I think she's one of the most disciplined strong dedicated people I know. She's one of the toughest. She's got an extraordinary intelligence, and outstanding public service record, she's somebody who's in this stuff for the right reasons and no doubt would make an excellent “President of the United Sates”. She's passionate about moving the country forward especially on issues like economy, health care and children. “Barack Obama “
"Madame President of the United States...it’s an extraordinary thought. We truly are in a momentous time, where a woman’s potential has no limitations. "Hillary Clinton has already proven to a generation of women that there are no limits for success. She is driven by her passion for public service and her belief in the enormous potential of our country. Smart, capable and strong in her convictions, Hillary has transcended the dictates of what is thought to be possible for our time.
"Hillary is a powerful voice for change as we find our country at an important crossroads. Under her leadership, our country will regain its respect within the global community. She will prioritize issues of global climate change, universal health care and rebuilding a strong economy. After 8 long years, the public will once again have faith in their government.
"Another former first lady, Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, ‘In government, in business, and in the professions there may be a day when women will be looked upon as persons. We are, however, far from that day as yet.’ More than 50 years later 'that day' is now upon us…and Hillary Clinton is ready to shatter through that glass ceiling for all women."HILLARY CLINTON MAKES HISTORY FOR ALL WOMAN OF EVERY RACE.
DEMS WILL LOOSE WITH OBAMA
Black men were given the vote a half-century before women of any race were allowed to mark a ballot, and generally have ascended to positions of power, from the military to the boardroom, before any women .Why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one? Why is the black candidate given the continued media free pass and coronation and refusing to discuss his record. My family and friends have been following the 2008 Presidential election and feel overwhelming compelled to express our sadness, disgust witnessing the continued unfair disturbing treatment that Senator Clinton continually receives from men in the media. WE were frankly surprised to see how many men are threatened by Senator Clinton’s abilities, just read the articles. The daily gender discrimination and horrible names Senator Clinton is called, forced my family and friends to research candidates like obama ourselves since the media is no longer fair and unbiased. A black man has a better chance in this country than a white woman. It’s a shame that media keeps the race issue going in an attempt to disguise their gender discrimination against smart educated and powerful women. WE are tired of the race card that the media is creating and pushing in the face of voters. The media has dropped the ball. We the viewers and most importantly the VOTERS looked to news stations and newspapers for unbiased FACTS about ALL the presidential candidates to assist voters on making a wise and educated decision on who will run our country. Unfortunately you prove daily/hourly that your biased and often racial tabloid news It’s a disservice to our great country that you attack and discriminate a white female Senator and Former two term First lady who has done a great deal of good in 35 years of political service to our country that is dismissed and ignored for fear of upsetting a black candidate and his racial supporters. You should be ATLEAST reporting the differences and giving obama the same microscopic personal attacks that you continue to do to a white female United States Senator. You have no credibility in reporting the news. If we wanted this type of so-called news, we can buy the National Enquire. Women in this country should stand up and not be bullied by these men who do all they can to keep women underpaid and treated unfairly.
HELP Hillary Clinton Make History
HELP Hillary Clinton Make History for ALL women!!!. Hillary Clinton is the prayer of every woman and man who long for fair play, healthy families, good schools, and a balanced economy. Dr. Maya Angelou, poet, educator, historian, best-selling author, actress, playwright, civil-rights activist, producer and director. Black men were given the vote a half-century before women of any race were allowed to mark a ballot, and generally have ascended to positions of power, from the military to the boardroom, before any women .Why is the sex barrier not taken as seriously as the racial one? The reasons are as pervasive as the air we breathe: because sexism is still confused with nature as racism once was; because anything that affects males is seen as more serious than anything that affects only the female half of the human race because children are still raised mostly by women so men especially tend to feel they are regressing to childhood when dealing with a powerful woman; because racism stereotyped black men as more masculine for so long that some white men find their presence to be masculinity-affirming (as long as there aren’t too many of them); and because there is still no right way to be a woman in public power without being considered a bitch. I’m supporting Senator Clinton because she has community organizing experience, but she also has more years in the Senate, an unprecedented eight years of on-the-job training in the White House, no masculinity to prove, the potential to tap a huge reservoir of this country’s talent by her example, and now even the courage to break the no-tears rule. If you look at votes during their two-year overlap in the Senate, they were the same more than 90 percent of the time. Besides, to clean up the mess left by President Bush, we may need two terms of President Clinton But what worries me is that he is seen as unifying by his race while she is seen as divisive by her sex. What worries me is that she is accused of “playing the gender card” when citing the old boys’ club, while he is seen as unifying by citing civil rights confrontations. What worries me is that male Iowa voters were seen as gender-free when supporting their own, while female voters were seen as biased if they did and disloyal if they didn’t. What worries me is that reporters ignore Mr. Obama’s dependence on the old — for instance, the frequent campaign comparisons to John F. Kennedy — while not challenging the slander that her progressive policies are part of the Washington status quo. What worries me is that some women, perhaps especially younger ones, hope to deny or escape the sexual caste system; thus Iowa women over 50 and 60, who disproportionately supported Senator Clinton, proved once again that women are the one group that grows more radical with age. This country can no longer afford to choose our leaders from a talent pool limited by speeches, celebrities, sex, race, money, powerful fathers and paper degrees. It’s time to take equal pride in breaking all the barriers. We have to be able to say: “I’m supporting her because she’ll be a great president!!
The majority of the American Black community claims that they want to live in a society where discrimination doesn't exist, but appears they are not practicing what they are preaching. when Obama continually pulls 90%+ of the black vote, it's obvious that most blacks are voting for a candidate because of skin color. The odd thing is people like John Lewis who marched for equal rights jumps on the prejudice bandwagon, I’m sure he realizes what it does to his credibility. Obama camp have been calling African-American superdelegates to target, harass and threaten,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.), a superdelegate who supports Clinton. Cleaver said black superdelegates are receiving “nasty letters, phone calls, threats, being called an Uncle Tom. Rep. Diane Watson, D-Calif., also is receiving several e-mails from individuals saying they won’t vote for her if she doesn’t change her support to Obama, she should vote for him because she, too, is black. Rep. John Lewis, a black civil rights icon, sadly enough has given into the racial threatening politics of the Obama camp and switched his support from Clinton to Obama.JUST MORE OBAMA CAMP DIRTY POLITICS, LIKE BEING CAUGHT IN A LIE ABOUT CANADA MEETING! HE IS CORRUPT!
the biology of psychology
Women want nothing more than for a man to be the boss of them.
But early psychological conditioning of being a "child" in a world of "adults" and I use that term loosely (adults) dictates that it is only natural and necessary for one to deny their desires, both to themselves and with others. Otherwise we would be caught in a cycle of catastrophic lusting giving way to the disintegration of society and social order.
so back to good ol' internet porn...
another white woman for Obama
Hillary Clinton has confused me since she was first lady. First she said she had more important things to do than stay home and bake cookies and I thought-- well alright, good for you. But the next thing you know she was sponsoring a bake off cookie contest at the whitehouse. She went from feminist fighter to happy homemaker. I don't see these things as opposed, but come on, either you like baking cookies or you don't. It made her look like a pleaser.
The next thing that disappointed me was that she voted to give Bush a blank check for war. I am disgusted with every democrat (and republican) who voted this way. She didn't even bother to read the intelligence files available to her-- she just went along to get along. To be fair, I know that being new in the Senate is difficult and she was an aspiring careerist-- but I have no respect for anyone who puts her career above the lives of others. Hillary's excuse is that she didn't know Bush wanted to go to war. But I know she isn't stupid. The whole world knew Bush wanted to go to war. She refuses to be morally accountable.
I think she's smart. I think she's passionate. Sometimes when I hear her speak on an issue I agree with I'm darn glad we are on the same side. But I don't trust her. Beyond that, her behavoir has been despicable this campaign season. This is no time to play Karl Rove and tear everybody up-- we need to unite and fight. We are in deep doo-doo. She's played the race card, the gender card, and now with this stupid bittergate crap she's trying to divide us by class, as if she is some kind of working class hero.
On the other hand, Obama inspires me. I have worked the grassroots-- I know and believe in the power of the people and in democracy. I like that Obama has a gift for articulating our hopes and dreams-- for connecting us to the good parts of our history. I've felt the last 7 years like someone stole my country and barely anyone in Congress raised a peep they just watched it happen. While I know that Obama is a politician also, and I don't know if he wouldn't have bent under pressure and voted for the war if he were in the Senate-- I am inspired by his record of service-- he left Harvard Law School and instead of taking a well paying corporate law job-- he chose to work with the poor. Hillary on the other hand went into corporate law. Then sat on the board of the anti-union Walmart.
The way I look at it, I don't expect Obama to be perfect, but I trust the democracy he's invigorating. It's time for all of us to roll up our sleeves and get to work so our children can be proud of our country. We've got bridges to repair, schools to rebuild, teachers to pay, health care to fix, a housing crisis to uncrisis, enivornmental problems to solve. Enough cynacism! Let's get to work. Obama 08.
