2. For those of you who insist Hillary voters are racist
Would you vote for Alan Keyes?


Honestly, that is a very inflammatory question.

11. HUH?
You just can't see it both ways, can you?

And, I think Hillary is the right woman for the job. Go ahead, excoriate me all you want. I wasn't online over the weekend and the tone here has gone completely downhill, which isn't saying much. There was actually a post over in GD where a poster implied that a 9/11 dispatcher refused to send help to a woman because the dispatcher was probably a Hillary supporter and assumed the victim was not.

17. Nobody here has suggested that Obama is better simply because he is black.

19. No one thinks a black president would be fundamentally different.
A lot of people think a female president would be fundamentally different. Which is wrong.

4. really?
people are insisting we need a woman president? Not advocating one, not saying it would be a good thing, but insisting we need one? How many people are doing that?

16. Sexism is wrong, not matter which gender is targeted...
It's wrong to not vote for a candidate because of their gender, which is what people are doing when they say they are voting for Clinton because she is a woman and they want a woman in the Oval Office.

5. If McCain selects her for VP and Obama picks a man...
You'd better believe they'll all cross over to the GOP.
Well, the ones who have been feeding on sour grapes at least.

9. Oh please....
McCain and Hillary: Talk about a losing ticket!

The Republican party would implode if Hillary was on that ticket.

Their base would be gone!

LOL! Good one!

:rofl:

7. Don't you realize, its not a woman president they want. It's Hillary or no other woman!
Sort of a weird position, but there you have it. If you suggest Sebelius or Napolitano, they say that we are saying women are interchangeable. So I guess Hillary feminists have placed a one woman limit per election cycle. Good thing men don't do this or we'd run out of candidates rather quickly!

8. its a silly reason to vote for someone anyway
anybody who votes for her because shes a woman( IE because theyve always wanted a woman to be president) are just as sexist as any man they claim has talked badly of Hillary.

sexism and racism know no bounds and go in all direction...regardless of the race or gender of the person saying it.
