To all the women of a "certain age" now supporting or sympathetic to Hillary........

[Darth_Kitten]

You rock. If only for the simple reason it's really troubling to see how easily and arrogantly your lives/opinions/views have been so dismissed. Not fair at all.

:)

[AGirl]

1. I am not at that "certain age" yet, but I understand..

and i agree, I appreciate you for making this.

[calico1]

2. Thank you. n/t

[Xipe Totec]

3. Ahem!...

Some men of a certain age also support the distinguished senator from New York.

[demnan]

4. Yes, this makes me uneasy

as a Kucinich supporter, you'd think I'd be a shooin for Obama, but I can't quite get there. I'm undecided. But my own life as a professional woman in IT sort of mirrors for me the way Clinton is shit upon by the media, etc. Perhaps I shouldn't relate to her this way, but I do.

7. I'm in IT too and this election has mirrored my professional life. And, I'm only 30!

[eowyn_of_rohan]

20. I am sympathizing with her lately, too

Though Gore was my 1st choice, I started as a Kucinich supporter, then moved to Edwards. I am not happy voting for either of the MSM sponsored candidates, but the more people rush to Obama the less I think he needs my vote, and am drifting back to my feminist beginnings these days... I am going to do some independent study (away from here and the MSM) on the 2 remaining candidates and see if I can find any sold info that helps me make a decision.

5. so the only reason to support her is because she is a woman?

that's insulting to both women and Hillary supporters

[Little Star]

17. NOT the only reason, but certainly one of them She is more

than qualified. Yes it would be nice to see a woman finally break the highest of all glass ceilings. Can a black man be the only historic thing to some of you people? Lift them up, Lift women up at last!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep, I'm mighty proud of her and her policies! We've been waiting a loooooong time for this. Maybe some equal opportunities with equal pay will come out of this yet for many, many women. Nothing wrong with wanting a woman leader of the Free world and the not so free USA (due to Bush). She can help lift us up, yes that gal can!

[Windy]

6. I'm fifty and Ido not support Hillary Clinton. It is a matter of issues and judgment, not sex

You cheapen the intelligence of our gender by these nonsense posts. I refuse to vote for a candidate I feel to be inferior just because she and I are of the same sex!

A slap in the face to true feminism!

[Armstead]

12. Thank you

[Olney Blue]

8. I'm white too, which is also problematic for Bill Krystal

[WinkyDink]

9. You didn't need to qualify it with the mention of the election. Our views

are marginalized in EVERY sphere.

[Mass]

10. Well, I am a woman of a certain age supporting Obama - Is that a problem?

[Little Star]

18. Nope

[Straight Shooter]

11. I am that "certain age" and I have no sympathy, but I sure have empathy.

Hillary is so strong. Name me one person in the world who could withstand what she has withstood from not only the opposition party, but from within her own party, and still be rocking on the way she does. I may not agree with some of what she's done but she sure is a role model when it comes to grace under pressure.

I wish I had one-tenth of her ability to endure the character assassinations she's endured, and the mudslide of slime she's seen heaped upon her husband, and even her daughter.

[Darth_Kitten]

21. that's one reason I can really respect her..........

all the slime and sleaze that's been thrown at her and STILL she shows she's hard as nails. Tough. Strong.

And I'm an Edwards supporter.

[still_one]

13. If that support is based on the issues, great, if it is based on gender, not so great /nt

[JFKgirl]

14. SEXIST. Youre a sexist

HRC supporters look mighty dumb when they admit that the main reason they're voting for her is gender. She cant help being a girl, she didnt earn it.

Fucking sad.

[hlthe2b]

15. Oh, stop it... just STOP IT..... Take your rudeness & simplistic

assessment of what the OP was trying to convey and go away. You obviously have poor reading comprehension or simply wish to misrepresent. Now, THAT is reprehensible.

[Little Star]

19. She ain't only a girl, she's more than qualified!

[blm]

16. How about women of a certain age who have READ National Security Archives and REFUSE to vote for HRC

because Clintons have long protected the secrecy and privilege of the powerful elite and closed government and always will?

Should highly INFORMED women of a certain age not count because they bothered to be concerned about the decades of government corruption that has caused many of our current problems?
