Hillary voters not happy with Obama

IT's pretty plain to see if you are any good at math that H. Clinton won the most popular votes especially in the large primary states. It was unfair that she was pressured not to keep running until all the primaries were over. This was very

"undemocratic" to the voters in the last states in my opinions.

Obama should not have been awarded any votes in Michigan as it is not clear whether he won the majority of these votes. It is not fair that Clinton was cheated out of the votes in Florida.

These types of racial and unfair tactics are going to come back and bite the Democratic Party's reputation. I refus to campaign or be associated with the party any longer. I'm tired of listening to complaints of racial issues 24/7 as I work in an inner city school and the most prejudice are black vs. latinos. I believe that Obama runs around with too many unsavory characters. Howard Dean did a very poor job of running the party. Nancy Pelosi is an embasrassment to women.

Women's groups are loosing members and fighting over the Obama vs. Hillary thing. The Democrats are dividing the country by their tactics. So let's not blame the Repulicans anymore. The news commentators were clearly in Obama's camp, so I have made arrangements to cancell my calbe TV, do not sucribe to time or Newsweek, or any other newspaper. P.S. not every Clinton supporter was white or uneducated, maybe underpaid, but not

as stupid and stubborn as we have been made out to be. Thank you. Karen

We think for ourselves

Yes, but what I am saying is that when we women don't agree with you men, we are bitches and wrong. If you want to look at Hilary's blunders okay, fair enough, but then you must look at Obama's also. He served only 143 days and now he wants to be president and bring change. He has no clue about how the Washington establishment works, he can't; he has not been there long enough. He may may want to make changes, but the establishment will slap him back to reality. He hangs out with people who hate this government, such as Ayers and Rev Wright. He always has an excuse for his choices, the Ayers thing happened when he was just a lad, but he was an adult when he made the choicr. He never heard Rev Wright speak such horrible things about this country during the 20 years he attended that church, ya, sure bet. I believe that when I believe that you are not a sexist. I won't even go into his wife's gaff about just becoming proud of this country because he is running for president. I don't know, but I think that if I were a minority had gone as far as she has with her education and position in life, earning $300k a year, I would have been proud for that. The choice is clear, we need someone with experience. That's why he picked Byden for his VP, Byden can be to Obama what Cheny was to Bush. So why are we stuck with Obama, if not Hilary someone else maybe, but it's too late now.

your voice is heard and saying "Im an A hole.

Hillary's convention speech

She sounded presidential. I believe she won the nomination by popular vote. I ask myself, Why do the dems keep nominating losers, like Kerry and now Obama? What will it take to put a vagina in the White House? If Obama was really a leader, he would have united the party by nominating Hillary and shown that he can handle whatever comes his way. My goodness, has he so little leadership ability that he bypassed uniting the party so he wouldn't/couldn't deal with Bill Clinton? In choosing Hillary as a running mate, he would have had access to a generally beloved, brilliant, seasoned former president and a fabulous can-do woman who has weathered many a storm on the public and private fronts. I'm voting for McCain to have my voice heard if my vote won't count.

of course you can think for yourselves

I'm not suggesting you cant make your own decisions. My wife makes all the decisions. the problem with your way of thinking is that you tend to blame short comings on the fact you have a vag and men are holding you back.That may have been the case years ago buts its not so much now. To you it was the Dnc and the Obama campaign the prevented her from winning. you never bring up how she failed to plan after super Tuesday, her Bosnia sniper fire thing or how she said she was staying in the race well after it was apparent she was going to lose because" Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June." she was favored to win this thing easily. this was her race and she blew it. No body took it away from her.Youre not gonna vote Obama no matter what, but do you really think john mccain has your best interests in heart.if you lose this for us you are gonna be the reason our country falls apart.

L.A. Times today

The L.A.Times has many articles today on the start of the Convention. People are "seething" because the Clinton's haven't done enough to promote Obama. As Clinton supporter, I can say that I would not vote for Obama if Hilary and Bill got down on their knees and begged me. It's not the Clinton's it a nation of angry voters who don't like what the DNC and Media have manipulated into a frenzy of Obama myth.

crazy broads

Dumb male. What is wrong with you? You don't give the female gender any credit for making decisions. The decisions we make in this election effect us. I for one am tired of the male establishment's insinuations that we can't think for ourselves, that any decisions we make which are opposed to what you males think is wrong. We are not upset because, Hilary didn't win the nomination. we are upset because, of people like you who decided that because she was a women, she should not win. If you would read this blog instead of flying of the handle you might learn something.

crazy broads

Damn you b*tches are crazy. there's nothing that's going to passify you. look your candidate didn't win. you sound like cry babies and worse you're going to vote for someone who cares even less about your concerns because you think the only person who understands you is the one who shares the same reproductive organs. i assure you this; until you grow up and show that you can truly hang with the boys in the "feelings" department you will never see a madam president. you have only yourself to blame Democrats lose this one and you lose authority of your own uterus

Roe Vs Wade and Other Issues

Get with it, there are already 5 sitting that can overturn Roe Vs Wade, they have the votes to do it. What's stopping them, they are afraid of women coming out in droves to protest. We do have some power, the power of numbers. By crumbling and standing behind Obama just because we want a democrat to win is wrong, he is wrong for the job, he is as corrupt as Bush and has proven that by allowing this treatment of Hilary. He would step over his own mother to win. I don't want a Republican to win, but I can't allow the DNC to do this, this just can't be allowed to happen. Women will loose as long as we accept what we are told and do not demand what we want. We got the vote, through hard work, by not taking a back seat and we should remember that, we are not taking a back seat ever again.
