I have no problem voting for Hillary because she is a woman.

[boston bean]

A democratic woman makes all the difference!

Go Hill!

[artislife]

1. I have no problem looking at where she stands on issues

even though we both are women.

She fails out of the 3 leading candidates on this side, imo.


Her being a woman doesn't change a thing. We could have had Palin and that would hardly have been a win.

[seabeyond]

7. palin is no clinton and ridiculous to suggest otherwise. wouldnt you agree?

[artislife]

9. You following me?

I don't care what you think...

[seabeyond]

13. nope. just came into another thread and saw you comparing clinton to palin and thought that

ridiculous.

many of my posts are for others to read and not necessarily for the person i am replying to, understanding they really do not care what i think.

[840high]

30. +10

[Live and Learn]

64. +1 nt

[HappyPlace]

2. You just posted a POV OP listing seven reasons you like Hillary Clinton.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251556679

Can we expect more of these?

FWIW, I don't think many of us like or dislike her based on chromosomes.

Her chromosomes aren't an issue.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. ^^^This^^^ n/t

[BooScout]

6. Hmmmmm

[seabeyond]

8. for many... it is. nt

[Doctor_J]

52. The OP for example

[Live and Learn]

65. I am sorry but just being a woman isn't credential enough. nt

[seabeyond]

72. I don't think many of us like or dislike her based on chromosomes.

this is what i was referring to. yes, for many, it is simply because she is a woman.

[NRaleighLiberal]

5. Principles and policies should outweigh whether candidates are X, Y or Z.

just my opinion....

note I got rid of the word "trump!"

[seabeyond]

10. "bully pulpit to truly fight for women."since we have never had that in our history... let that sink

in. i think it is a pretty huge reason.

[NRaleighLiberal]

12. My wife and daughters aren't sold that it is absolutely necessary for her to do the fighting.

they are all more persuaded by policies and principles. But we are all free to have our opinions.

[seabeyond]

14. "But we are all free to have our opinions." yup.

[beam me up scottie]

16. ^^^THIS^^^

This woman is voting for the best candidate.

[NRaleighLiberal]

17. .

[beam me up scottie]

18. You are proof that some men get it.

[NRaleighLiberal]

19. I really appreciate that. Made me smile - and made my day.

[seabeyond]

20. have you switched to omalley?

[beam me up scottie]

22. No I prefer the most progressive candidate. Thanks for asking though.

[seabeyond]

23. mmmm, i think omalley may have one up on sanders if you put plan against plan.

but all three are close enough, one preference over another is understandable.

[ibegurpard]

11. Her gender is not the problem

[seabeyond]

15. for you. it is for many. honest or not. that is womens reality and why BB's statement

is accurate.

[randome]

21. Neither do I. She isn't perfect but no candidate is.

Look at Bernie's political expediency regarding the F-35. That should not disqualify him, mind you, it's just an observation that no candidate is perfect.

And since Clinton seems to be headed toward winning 2016, we may as well try to sway her to the 'right' way of thinking on the issues rather than fervently hoping that numbers lie.

And if she selects Julian Castro as her running-mate, it would be a beautiful stake in the GOP's heart to have had (potentially) 24 years of minority rule. Delicious.

24. And the rest of us

don't let our vaginas do our thinking.

Yeah, yeah, I know, hide for using the "V" word but damnnit I just couldn't resist.

[seabeyond]

25. no. just insulting and dismissing the very real womens issues. nt

[Le Taz Hot]

27. So, Hillary is better on women's issues because she has a vagina?

Well, Michelle Bachmann also has a vagina and she's not real good with women's issues so I guess body parts really don't come into play here, do they?

[seabeyond]

29. why would you even need me in your conversation?

"So, Hillary is better on women's issues because she has a vagina?"

of course not. you and many many men like to reduce it to this. but you and i know that is not the question or has anything to do with anything.

experience, personal experson and a lifetime working with women issues gives her a hands down advantage.

oh lookie, my answer looks nothing like your dismissive

"So, Hillary is better on women's issues because she has a vagina?"

that you and a hell of a lot of fuckin misogynist men like to throw at women that support clinton.

to have a woman at the bully pulpit for the first time in history focusing on our issues would actually matter, ya think?

me? i am voting omalley, but i do not have to dismiss something significant to hold my candidate up

[Le Taz Hot]

32. I'm a mysogenist now?

LOL! Honey, I can match my feminist street creds with anyone on this board and that's since the early 1970's. The only reason I am one of the like, 6 people who don't have you on Ignore is your entertainment value. But you're quickly losing that so I'm going to do something else now.

[seabeyond]

34. "I'm a mysogenist now?" again, no. darlin' do you have to make up your argument and then

go at it, not even needing me in the conversation?

re read. NO. that is not what i said clearly.

but you can damn well bet we are hearing from EVERY misogynist man that the only reason a woman would vote for clinton is cause of vagina.

so ya.... you are participating right there with them

sweetie

[Le Taz Hot]

45. THAT'S the one that got alerted on?

I thought for sure my vagina comment would do it but that's the one they complained about? LOL! Thanks for the jury results.

[MerryBlooms]

46. lol

Rock on vaginas!

[ismnotwasm]

49. Not mine

And I'm quite a bit younger than you by the sound of it darlin'

[Le Taz Hot]

67. Huh?

What else got alerted on?

[Le Taz Hot]

70. Oy vey!

[boston bean]

38. That is rude that you think I think with my vagina. Nt

What an extremely rude thing to say to someone.

[seabeyond]

41. it was meant to be rude. that was the point. of course it is rude. men have been throwing that

at women for supporting clinton from the moment she stepped up

[Le Taz Hot]

42. One person's rude

is another person's smart ass. It's a gift.

[boston bean]

43. Not sure I would call it a gift. Nt

[hifiguy]

50. Your snark is always first rate, Taz.

[Le Taz Hot]

53. Apparently, not everyone is amused.

LOL!

[hifiguy]

54. Everyone's a critic.

[Le Taz Hot]

56. As a retired vocalist, don't I know it!

That reminds me of an old joke. How many guitar players does it take to change a light bulb? Four. One to change the light bulb and the other three to stand around and say, "Hmmpf, I could do that." Yep, everyone's a critic.

[hifiguy]

57. We bass guitarists have our own riff on that old gag.

Four. One to do it and three to say 'That's not how Jaco (or Phil) would have done it, man."

[Le Taz Hot]

58. . . .

[Gothmog]

26. As the father of two daughters, I am excited

[djean111]

28. I don't think anyone here at DU has a problem with her being a woman.

As a woman, I am insulted by the assumption that I would vote for Hillary BECAUSE she is a woman.
I do not care for her as a candidate - issues and deeds, who cares about gender? Gender should not even be on the list of reasons to vote for someone.

Or is this addressed to people outside of DU?

[seabeyond]

31. "anyone here at DU has a problem with her being a woman.", dont kid yourself

[840high]

33. ...^ that

[IVoteDFL]

47. Yep, exactly

[hobbit709]

36. My problem with HRC is that she's a tool of Wall Street.

[boston bean]

37. Hillary is not a tool. Nt

[hobbit709]

39. Then she's in on it with her bankster buddies.

[boston bean]

40. That sounds ominous. You have some proof of this?

59. I have no trouble voting for Bernie because he's a man.

60. I Was Ready To Vote For A Democratic Woman... But She Said Wasn't Interested...

And I respected her decision.

[Juicy_Bellows]

61. This, +2000! Nt.

[hifiguy]

69. Damn tootin. She is a completely worthy

successor to Ted Kennedy. If she had run instead of Bernie I would be supporting her candidacy just as wholeheartedly as I do his!
