Political Punch

Although I highly doubt that it could happen, I could see a situation in which I would vote for Hillary, as the lesser of two evils. I don't give a hoot that Hillary is a woman. My gut tells me not to trust her, though, and this whining and piling on by her feminist apologists won't change my distrust. Calling her out on her flops and flip-flops is not an attack. She should come out and tell us why she thinks giving drivers licenses to illegals is the right thing to do, even though New Yorkers oppose it by 5-1. She can't claim to be a strong leader, while claiming she can't do anything to release the Clinton White House papers. She should come clean on her three-decades-long involvement in ruining the lives of Bill's sexual abuse victims, most of whom were upper middle class professionals who were treated very ruthlessly by her while she was claiming she fought for womens rights. This 'men vs me' spin makes no sense. It's just a cold, calculated attempt to attract women voters. If it works, we can expect this ridiculous gender card to be played any time any candidate criticizes her for anything---because all of the other candidates are men. If it works, she knows she has clear sailing ahead to say anything she wants, and not get called on it. If it works, it is menacing for the tired, old concept of free, open elections.

oops I see that Jake did disclose the Edwards connection. Sorry.

memo to Ferraro: this ain't the 80s. That victim centric BS didn't get us - or you - anywhere back then, and it's not going to help us now.

memo to Jake: don't you think you should have disclosed that Michelman has endorsed Edwards?

Ferraro is nuts. They would not have attacked Obama? Well, they have less to work with, I'll give her that. But Clinton was "attacked" with completely fair questions and statements. I put it in quotes because it's a debate between rivals - rivals who are fighting each other for the nomination, but more like fighting her because she's the frontrunner, of course. It's like getting in a boxing ring and complaining.

Kate is exactly right, a feminist with some integrity. I'm SO glad she's saying all this.

I totally agree with Kate Michelman's assessment. But Kate Michelman does have a conflict of interest here. So maybe she wasn't the right person to quote from the "other corner."

Now then, I wonder if Geraldine Ferraro is still reeling from the fact that her opportunity to become the first woman vice president was torpedoed by two MEN: Her running mate, Walter Mondale; and her husband, John Zaccaro. The former by being such a weak candidate. The latter by causing such a controversy for failing to release his tax returns.

Being a female, I would like to see a female president. But not Hillary, she did NOT answer the questions to my satisfaction. I thought the questions were not difficult to answer. Imagine if she gets the nomination and has to answer questions from the Republicans regarding her failed health plans, etc. As a woman, I am afraid her failures would set us back several years. And that is why I won't vote for her.

This is great, she wants softball questions because shes a female, but yet says she can be a great President, Well here is some news for her When being the President whether Female, Male, Black, White, Hispanic and so on, the issues are the same, they do not change on who you are, you need to react the same as any other president can. You can not say to a country , you are only attacking us because I am a woman.

The question Russert asked were very good, she was pointed out because it was dealing with the state she supposedly represents, I am sure if the governor of Illinois was trying to fix the election with illegals Obama would of been questioned the same.

The fact she is playing the feel sorry for me attitude shows she is not ready nor should she ever be President.

We do not need a victim mentality person in the Office of President.
