Hillary could care a rat’s Patootie about Fathers Rights.

This wins the award for Most Insincere Pandering of the 2008 election.

It’s amazing how everything this woman does, she does to benefit herself first. I guess she wants to get some of the male African-American vote (to undercut Obama). Can she ever do something that is simply the right thing to do, without any benefit to herself? This is of course a rhetorical question.

This isn’t an African-American issue. This is divorce dads of all races and she gets credit for being the first national politician to raise it in favor of dads.

Dad’s are routinely treated as second class citizens, denied equal time with their kids and made to pay exorbitant amounts for kids they don’t even get to see much.

Wow! This is about as believable as McCain saying he will build a fence!

While my stand on “dead-beat dads” remains firm, I do know a few dad’s that are taking active roles in their kids lives while holding down a good job and going to school. You can’t blame a singular person for marital arrangements going astray. That being said, the majority of fathers paying child support want nothing to do with their kids or their mothers and are complaining because the child support they are paying is taking away from their weed money. The message that needs to be sent to these men is not one of reassurance that the government will reduce what they have to pay, but one of responsibility. Stop knocking up 15 year old girls and ruining their lives, get a job, go to/finish school, stop buying/selling drugs, and take responsibility for your actions.

There’s so much we need to do to get father’s rights back.

ignificant proposals from Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton to resolve the child support problems faced by many low-income African-American fathers.

Grabbing wallet...

Republicans jumped on this child support thing to crack down on these men, but more importantly to get the Mom’s off welfare. This was partially racially related and feminists jumped aboard.

What was missed was child support to single Mom’s and married Mom’s who initiate breakup of the family provide the same incentives to destroy the family as welfare rights did in the 1960s. It’s even worse because the Dad’s quit their fast food job and get a cash job so they can earn something.

Lastly, how come judges can throw these so called Dad’s in jail without a specific law or trial but John McCain and dems declare criminal rights for terrorists? I hate to agree here that there is a big problem.

Bill: "Here's how it's gonna work, Comrade Dear. Ah will cut welfare significantly in Mah terms, and get all that credit. Then, during YOUR eight years, YOU will bring it back, call it Father's Rights, or somethin'. Genius!!"

That is true in some cases, but not all. What Hillary is doing is ensuring that mothers remain in the workforce and that they will place their children in unionized daycare and universal preK.

Obama should come out and say, “vote for me and I promise you will never hear from the Clintons again.”

That would get my vote.

“...which concluded that the child support system and its abuses are a major problem for African-American men.”


Yeah. Because we all no its never been a problem for those white guys!

Good grief. I completely agree (on this single topic) and they still manage to piss me off.
