Hillary's Bitter Pill: Women Can't Stand Her

Hillary Clinton's polling numbers are tumbling, but the real shocker is how poorly she is faring with the female electorate. According to the recent Rasmussen poll, 43% of women say they will not vote for Hillary. And the latest poll by John Zogby reported an almost identical number — 42% of women would not vote for Mrs. Clinton under any circumstances.

Hillary's gender problem is underscored by the bootleg Apple Computer 1984 ad. [www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h3G-lMZxjo] The person who hurls the hammer at Hillary's Big Sister image is not some 40-something pony-tailed biker dude. No, it's a young, athletic woman, exactly the demographic that Hillary hopes will put her over the top in November 2008.

Do a web search and you'll find websites (such as www.allwomenagainsthillary.com) and chat rooms buzzing with women who are flabbergasted at the mere thought of Hillary as 44th president of the United States.

One writes, "I, as a woman, would love to see a woman president, but am willing to wait for the right one." Some refer to her has Hillary the Horrible or simply "that cold "b*tch." At one recent conference, a smiling co-ed offered me a Hillary Barf Bag.

Many Democrats can't stomach the idea of Hillary as president, either. The Zogby poll found that among likely Democratic voters, a surprising 18% stated they "would never cast a vote in Clinton's favor."

Opposition to Clinton runs high even among Democratic insiders. "There is no more divisive figure in the Democratic Party, much less the country, than the former first lady," argues former Dukakis campaign manager Susan Estrich. And former NARAL Pro-Choice America director Kate Michelman has already signed on with the campaign of rival John Edwards.

No one disputes HRC's intelligence and drive. So how did the coronation plans come unglued?

One answer can be found in Hillary's Equal Pay video that is featured on her website: www.hillaryclinton.com/video/13.aspx . There she repeats the wage-gap chestnut, "Here we are at the beginning of the 21st century and women still earn significantly less than men for doing the same jobs."

But pandering to the "gender wage gap" poses a threat to women's intelligence, and possibly their lifestyles.

That's because men and women don't do the same jobs. Men spend more years in the workforce, work longer hours, and are subjected to far more hazards — 93% of all workplace deaths involve men.

Hillary's pay plan may also incur the wrath of liberal water-carriers like Katie Couric. The CBS News anchor reportedly earns $15 million a year. At ABC Charlie Gibson rakes in $7 million, and NBC's Brian Williams ekes by on a measly $4 million. All three do essentially the same jobs. So under Hillary's scheme, Katie would be forced to cut her salary by at least half.

Now watch Hillary's Equal Pay video a second time, but with the sound turned off. Observe her expressions — watch how she condescendingly arches her brow. Don't expect to find any hint of warmth or sincerity. What you see is the visage of an angry and calculating woman.

But Mrs. Clinton's problem goes deeper than her screeching rhetoric and all-around sourpuss attitude. Hillary's problem with women is her attitude towards women.

Remember her famous 60-Minutes remark, "I'm not sitting here as some little woman 'standing by my man' like Tammy Wynette"? That comment revealed a scornful attitude towards those ladies who choose an ideology and lifestyle that deviates from the feminist creed.

Probe into the feminist world-view, and you discover a philosophy that is deeply distrustful of women and their ability to make decisions on their own behalf. Simone de Beauvoir, grand-dame of the modern-day feminist movement, openly displayed this arrogance:

"No woman should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children .... Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one."

And attend a local staging of The Vagina Monologues. Note the apparent satisfaction of the actresses chanting the names of their private body parts. Can anyone think of a more demeaning way to treat women? It's somehow fitting that Hillary invited Eve Ensler, creator of TVM, to serve on her Senate exploratory committee.

So while Clinton mouths the mantra of female choice and liberation, what she really seeks is unquestioning fealty to an ideology that demands women's obeisance to the blandishments of the Nanny State.

Most ladies sense a master manipulator behind the green velvet curtain. And that's Hillary Rodham Clinton's problem with women.

If I would say how I really feel about Hill here on FR I would get myself banned.

Same here. I have to restrain my fingers when typing at times.

Hahahaaa! HilDog got blasted on South Park....funniest episode this season!

[Inspectorette]

This to me is the best "poll" regarding Hitlery's standing with women.

Great point. I'm old enough to remember back in the early '60's when the name "Jacqueline" became immensely popular.

[twonie]

Tubba is my favorite name for "her".

[TalonDJ]

Here's the stats for Monica. Evidently since 1998, liberals starting naming their girls Monica :)

No that is inverse. The top name is number 1 and the higher the number the less popular they are. After 98 it went way down.

[The South Texan]

I'd like to think this is true. But if you watch(or at least hear from a third party) what is said about her on the Soccer Mom brainwashing shows known as Opera, Good Morning America, Today, The View, etc., one would think she was a savior for women everywhere and the women in those audiences love it.

[AmericaUnited]

No that is inverse. The top name is number 1

Wow, I know that! Total mind malfunction.

[rabscuttle385]

Hey now, let's not go around insulting the rocks.

[E Rocc]

"Kyle" started dropping as South Park got popular. >:)

No one disputes HRC's intelligence and drive......

No one? No one? ROTFL!
"Drive"....well okay....
But....
"Intelligence"?.......
Gimme a break. ROTFL!

[HitmanLV]

Blond, middle-aged chubby women who work in offices have that 'blond middle aged chubby woman' thing going on. To be avoided, of course, but Hilly is their icon!

Don;t ask them to articulate why. It's a 'bottom line' kind of thing we men can't understand.

[Mia T]

bump.
It's interesting how many people confuse PR with IQ.

 

 

"Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far
away from the White House for the rest of her life."

My two cents' worth--and I think it is the two cents' worth of everybody who worked for the Clinton Administration health care reform effort of 1993-1994--is that Hillary Rodham Clinton needs to be kept very far away from the White House for the rest of her life.

Heading up health-care reform was the only major administrative job she has ever tried to do. And she was a complete flop at it.

She had neither the grasp of policy substance, the managerial skills, nor the political smarts to do the job she was then given.

And she wasn't smart enough to realize that she was in over her head and had to get out of the Health Care Czar role quickly....

[T]here is no reason to think that she would be anything but an abysmal president.

It's really quite simple.

Women don't like missus clinton
because
there is no one in modern American history
--not even her rapist husband--
who has done more to injure all women
than hillary rodham clinton....

"The power of the harasser, the abuser, the rapist depends above all on the silence of women."

It isn't that they can't see the solution. It is that they can't see the problem.

G. K. Chesterton

 

... While America appears not to be ready for a female president under any circumstances, the post-9/11 realities pose special problems for a female presidential candidate. Add to these the problems unique to missus clinton. The reviews make the mistake of focusing on the problems of the generic female presidential candidate running during ordinary times.

These are not ordinary times. America is waging the global War on Terror; the uncharted territory of asymmetric netherworlds is the battlefield; the enemy is brutal, subhuman; the threat of global conflagration is real.

Defeating the enemy isn't sufficient. For America to prevail, she must also defeat a retrograde, misogynous mindset. To successfully prosecute the War on Terror, it is essential that the collective patriarchal islamic culture perceives America as politically and militarily strong. Condi Rice excepted, this requirement presents an insurmountable hurdle for any female presidential candidate, and especially missus clinton, historically antimilitary--(an image, incidentally, that is only enhanced today by her clumsy, termagant parody of Thatcher), forever the pitiful victim, and, according to Dick Morris, "the biggest dove in the clinton administration."

It is ironic that had the clintons not failed utterly to fight terrorism... not failed to take bin Laden from Sudan... not failed repeatedly to decapitate a nascent, still stoppable al Qaeda... the generic female president as a construct would still be viable... missus clinton's obstacles would be limited largely to standard-issue clintonisms: corruption, abuse, malpractice, malfeasance, megalomania, rape and treason... and, in spite of Juanita Broaddrick, or perhaps because of her, Rod Lurie would be reduced to perversely hawking the "First Gentleman" instead of the "Commander-in-Chief."

True but the raging feminazis will march out in step to vote for her holiness.

[Chena]

For the first time ever, the Rasmussen poll called us. That was Tuesday night. I enjoyed answering the poll but wish there was a "hell no" option on whether I'd vote for Hillary rather than the standard, "no". LOL

I can't stand that woman....and I'm a woman.

[Thunder90]

Hillary is having trouble with the Democratic base because she swung around too much since she became a Senator. They really hate her because of her strong support for the Iraq war until the middle of last year.

[art_rocks]

I would willingly go to Iraq if ordered but why would I subject myself to the torture of listening to a Hildog speech?

Your a stronger person than I to be able to listen to her.

[Mr. Jeeves]

It's an ego/mind thing - having a President who "looks like me" or worse "cares about people like me" (ha!) gives them the opportunity to feel superior for a brief moment.

Sadly, on such mental/emotional ephemera are elections decided. :(

[HitmanLV]

Yep. They've come a long way, baby!

[Mia T]

To be more precise, women, to put it gently--dislike--missus clinton because that woman,
who has done more than perhaps anyone in modern American history to injure all women,
is again doing her shtick: Attempting to increase her power and treasure on the backs of women
even as she pretends to be one of them.

Missus clinton is no feminist. Misogynist is more like it.
