"We've waited, fought a lot for this. I do worry that my generation won't see a female president."

My generation would happily settle for a competent one in '08.

I just don't like any of these idiots. Sigh.

" history in the making: a woman running for president, something she never dreamed as a child that she would live to see."

What? The Hillbeast is not the first woman to run for president. Dems are such hypocrites.

Before Elizabeth Dole and Shirley Chisholm, there was Margaret Chase Smith in 1964. She didn’t actually run, but her name was put in nomination at the Republican convention. And I think there was a suffragette/saloon wrecker type trying to run for pres way back before that. I’m not sure women could even vote yet; at least that one was before my time!

“well I sure hope she dies nice and quick. ANyone who drives 800 miles to see hillary shouldn’t be sucking up social security.’


It was 80 miles, not 800. Would you say this if she was your mother or grandmother? If my mother was living, she’d probably be supporting Hillary, too, with some of the same reasons, in spite of my arguments. We ARE still allowed to support who we wish to and not die for it, right? This year.

“What a bitter old bag. ...”


Bitter?? Been listening to B.Hussein O.?

That lady is simply part of a generation of women who did expect men to tell them what to do, but mostly who had sense enough to see “womens’ lib” for what it was and never became feminists. Unlike their daughters - Hillary’s generation.

As with the NAACP, which is really the NAA(L)CP. Non liberals are rarely accorded an acknowledgement of their existence, let alone recognition of their accomplishments as presidential candidates.

my grandparents are still living thank you and my Paternal grandmother at least would agree with me. She probably hates Hillary more than I do.

It would hurt my feelings a lot because I think she should be No. 1, she should be president,”

Can you see a quote from a guy that would say... “ it will hurt my feelings if my candidate isnt elected...”

or this one...

“For us, getting a woman elected is major,”

So anyone with a Vagina should be the number one factor in choosing your president....

uhmm yeah okay

/That's typical female.

Now you've hurt my feelings! Don't you understand? The all-important qualification in the coming election is that the winner be a WOMAN! Any woman. (sarc, obviously)

The brainless, sadly, have the right to vote, even if it takes the Dems dragging them out of their houses, apartments, etc. to cast their ignorant ballots.

Give a woman a chance to do something good.

What an inane comment that is! The woman is saying, in essence, that women have no opportunity to "do good"; that a woman has to be president in order to "do somthing good".

This woman was behind the door when God was handing out brains.

Just ask any man if he could, or would want to, take over all the responsibilities of his wife. Ha!

I do have some liberal friends..... a couple of them are professional (retired) women, one in her 60s, one in her 70s..... those two heartily despise Hillary but are both big Obama fans. Go figure. We can’t talk politics much or it would hurt our friendships, but I gather that they both regard Hillary as a compulsive liar and fraud, so there are at least some liberal women who are not gaga over Hillary. Now if only I could disabuse them of their high regard for Obama......

I see you've been to Philadelphia.

Not only BEEN to the "City of Brotherly Love"...spent most of my young years in southwest Philly. It's most likely accurate to say that kids who grew up in the various neighborhoods have memories of their fun-filled childhood days.

We lived in rowhouses, walked to school, walked home for lunch, walked back and, and end of school day, did the same.

School buses? What are they???

The buses were introduced when my youngest brother (8 yrs. younger) was in grade school~early 50s.

Due to the "white exodus" to suburbia, many Philly neighborhoods rapidly deteriorated.

Shall we put the blame on the whites who abandoned the city because they could afford, and preferred, single homes in the suburbs?
