Hillary Clinton Focuses On Women's Rights In New Hampshire Campaign Former US secretary of state stokes speculation of a second presidential campaign on New Hampshire visit
Jon Swaine 2 November
Hillary Clinton defended Democrats’ focus on women’s rights on Sunday, as she returned to her old redoubt of New Hampshire to help the party try to keep hold of a crucial US Senate seat and maintain the state’s unique all-female congressional delegation.
In her first visit to the key presidential primary state since her 2008 campaign for the White House, the former US secretary of state also stoked speculation that she is readying another run in 2016, meeting voters at unannounced campaign stops.
Appearing at a rally in Nashua alongside Senator Jeanne Shaheen, Clinton attacked Shaheen’s opponent, Scott Brown, for past votes opposing legislation that would guarantee women equal pay and coverage for contraception in their health insurance.
“It is just astonishing to me that we’re having a debate about whether or not our country believes in equal pay for equal work,” said Clinton, noting that “Jeanne’s opponent is sort of on record dismissing this issue.”

Odd that the female individuals who least resemble actual women are the most strident ranters about “women’s rights”.
Hillary, ask Wendy on Wednesday how that feminist garbage works in the real world.
What about global warming?
Have the Dems combined the issues to Global Warming on Women?
/sarc.
the only ones debating this is the Rats...
What in the Sam hill is Hillary talking about?
Is Hillary aware that the Equal Pay Act of 1963 forbids paying women less than a man for the same job?? Does she really feel all this mock outrage about this subject?
If she feels so strongly about this, let her discuss what her fellow democrat Obama has done about this alleged problem for the last six years. I would ask Hillary if I could, why are you bringing this up when equal.pay is the law of the land, and a good Democrat is president???
Hillary speaking on women’s rights as her husband is an accused rapist of women. Wow, no wonder Dems are pushing Elizabeth Warren as she can speak on the war on women w/o a Bill Clinton type rape baggage.
““It is just astonishing to me that we’re having a debate about whether or not our country believes in equal pay for equal work,” said Clinton, noting that “Jeanne’s opponent is sort of on record dismissing this issue.”
And it’s just astonishing to me that womyn, or women, believe that opportunities for them would have anything to with what someone like Hillary Clinton can do or might do. This is so goofy, it’s like a ghetto black kid dreaming about growing up to be a rapping Michael Jordan, it is a one in a million synthetic fantasy. Hillary Clinton is an utter nothing and nobody would give the slightest crap about her except for her association with BJ. Maybe she is actually a lesbian Justin Bieber for 25-year olds. Women who idolize Hillary Clinton are really saying they have no inherent worth and can only succeed by hanging onto the coattails of or strategically allowing themselves to be defeated by a man. This is a woman who has abysmally failed at everything she has ever done other than getting away with scams. She’s so at odds with anything resembling merit or talent; and then she goes off on her “corporations don’t create jobs” thing, which by rights should eliminate 40% of her audience on the spot. Or it should, if they are functioning-neuron types, but maybe they’ve excluded themselves from that category by supporting HRC anyway.
Someone should tell Clinton and her cronies that “Women’s Rights” is an obsolete concern in regards to the US and First World countries.
Second, at hte moment there are significantly more pressing issues.
Clinton should realize that she’s an anachronism, a leftover from the Nineties when we didn’t have to deal with too many REAL important issues.
What about the rights of Marilinda Garcia (R), running for Congress in NH 2nd District?
Oh, right, she’s a Christian, so she doesn’t count.
If you owned a business, and you could get away with paying women about 25% less than men for doing the same work at the same level of competence, why would you hire any men? You wouldn't. But you don't because the whole thing is a myth.
Endless, tedious and POINTLESS!
I suspect that she's fully aware of this, just as she's fully aware that women make up the majority of current college grads and when all things are considered, (i.e. time on the job, sick time taken, etc) women usually come out the same or slightly ahead. This is just another leftist phoney issue that they use to take focus off of progressive's dismal record whenever they're in charge.
It works every time too because the media repeats the "war on women" theme so often, it's become an accepted fact.
It’s kinda’ fun watching old, fat Hillary down in that hole digging, as fast as she can, for the War on Women when it has failed, and I must say, rather spectacularly.
Obama: “I’m black. Vote for me because I’m black.”
Hillary: “I’m a female. Vote for me because I’m a female.”
It’s the “Democrat” way.
