Everyone I know is LIVID that Senator Clinton was not even considered for VP. That put the nail in the coffin for lots of women. Party Unity My Ass. Staged unity is more like it. They really are hoping people are dumb as bricks, aren’t they? Do they think for one millisecond we would not see through their piles of trickery and bullshit? Keep preaching to your choir NObama, but yer choir just ain’t big enough! I hope he gets trampled in November. As always, I will volunteer for the election and will probably be driving elderly republicans (not democrats) to the polls this year—-never, ever thought I’d be doing that but I vehemently believe that NOBO does not deserve to win and I will work hard so he does not win.

We all saw the fraud and manipulation by the DNC and BO; we should know those gangsters will continue with THAT SCAM. I read some where that Donna Brazile said she votes twice, is she implying that she casts her vote and then casts mine?

My suspicion is that regardless of how we vote; if we are still registered as Democrat, that they will in some fraudulent-manipulative way, count our vote as a vote for that shthead anyway, who knows, maybe they will try this even if we change are affiliation before November unless the honest powers that be can stop them.

I have been a democrat since I first registered to vote in 1973; I voted for Senator Clinton in the February primary here in California; SHE WAS THE BEST QUALIFIED on the Democratic ticket, however a few days after the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on May 31, I registered as a Republican, I can re-register when I believe it is safe to do so.

How so many accused the Clintons of fraud and corruption, but now all of a sudden Hillary is the queen of the castle just because she was a woman running to be a presidential candidate. A lot of people felt Bill would be too involved if she did win and weren't so happy about that. Now some of those same people are going to go with McCain just because he picked a woman. They don't care who it is, just as long as it's female. Real good reasoning there.

Thank You John McCain for doing what Obama should have done!!!


the DNC and Obama made Hillary eat humble pie. They dishonored her and Bill. McCain/Palin will win this time and then in 2012 the DNC will be BEGGING Hillary to take the nomination and do battle with Palin. Hillary will have the party at her feet, begging for forgiveness for their ATROCIOUS treatment of her.

The Dems didn't have the courage to send a woman to the White House -- the Republicans just did.

Just as stated, vote for the ticket just because a woman's on it - that's all that matters! I'm sure if McCain had picked little old Stella Mae from the backwoods of Tennessee, some women would vote the ticket just because a woman is on it.......oh well! I'm not saying Palin wouldn't be a good pick, just that to vote a ticket because it includes a woman doesn't seem the brightest move.

Palin is a better man then Obama.Aug 30th, 2008 - 18:58:16

', just that to vote a ticket because it includes a woman doesn't seem the brightest move.'

I guess it's a good thing that she is also the governor of the largest state in the USA with a 90% approval rating and more executive experience then the entire democrat ticket combined.

To get rid of a woman who had more votes then you in the primary not only 'doesn't seem the brightest move' it seems downright stupid at this point.

Doesn't it?

In response to 'Michigan', I am a woman, and about as 'liberated' as it's possible to be--in fact, I'm so liberated I'm no longer a slave to knee-jerk 'feminist' politics.
I just hope there aren't very many Clinton-dynasty supporters who will sell out to the right-wing, family-values crowd out of juvenile pique. They will 'drive Republicans to the polls' and drive women right back to the 19th century.
