But, of course, there's no need to appease women voters, we'll fall in line like the good little sweeties we are. Just threaten us with Roe and tell us we have no other choice. Screw that. I have a choice. Loyalty is a two-way street and if they want my vote, they're going to have to ask for it. And even then they might not get it. I am that angry. Of course, these entitled men have no idea how angry a lot of women are because they do not think about us or worry about us as a voting bloc. Just as the party leadership does not feel the need to fight misogyny. It's a given we'll vote democratic until, of course, we don't. The latest Rasmussen poll has 29% of democrats saying if Clinton isn't the nominee, she should make a third party run. Any bets on how many of that 29% are women?

Sickening

How sickening. I wonder how many of those 29% that I'm sure were all women, only voted for Clinton BECAUSE she's a woman. That's sexist too.

good point Anne

and as far as voting for Obama because he is a man or because he is black or because I am Young--you can forget all of those reasons.

I voted for voted for Obama in the primary and I'll vote for him in the general election because he is the best that the Democrats are offering this season in the way of an anti-war candidate who has a history that backs up his rhetoric.

I regret that someone like Barbara Boxer did not run. She would have won my support.

But I will not vote for any candidate simply because she is my peer and a female. It takes a lot more than that to get my vote. (I would, however, vote for Hillary if she were the Democratic nominee, because at the rock bottom, it is a Democrat for me.)

so to follow your line of reasoning I guess you are not so happy the the black voters are voting en bloc for Obama...

NO. It's not right to vote for OR against someone solely based on their gender or skin color!!

I think you are the one who would not vote for a woman.

I have set up my blog that i will not for for obama in november.........Link

I am in Michigan,,,,,and it seems to me the Democratic party has lost it marbels.How can they discount legal votes of citizens in a democracy. They do not have the status of a state government.They cannot override the laws of a legitimate state government, even if those laws conflict with the party rules....Party rules can not override state laws.Rules do not override laws.

Political parties that try to be better than the government ends up getting put out of business.
