Women Scorned - Look what they have done to her

How much anger is there among women about how Hillary Clinton has been treated during this campaign? Some of the nation's leading female politicians will tell you: quite a lot.

"From the beginning, she's been treated very badly," says Therese Murray, the president of the Massachusetts Senate. "No woman would have run with Obama's resume. She wouldn't have been considered." But Clinton has been "demonized by the press and the talking heads. How do you get away with that?"

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., says she is regularly approached "by women of all races, of all ages, of all faiths. They stop me, grab my hand and say, 'Look what they've done to her, we were so close.' They wanted this for their daughters and granddaughters. ... It's so heartbreaking."

For Rep. Darlene Hooley, D-Ore., the symbol that "sexism reigns supreme" was in the wide availability of offensive anti-Hillary paraphernalia in stores and on the Internet. For Barbara Johnson, president of the Minneapolis City Council, Clinton may have been the victim of "ageism" as much as sexism. The message, she said, was: "Your time is past, it's time for somebody new to take your place."

Many women, said Rep. Ellen Tauscher, D-Calif., "knew we had made many strides. They asked, 'Aren't we past this? What's going on?' They're not happy with what they see as sexism, permitted by the media and in some cases encouraged by the media."

If there is good news for Barack Obama in any of this, it is that the rage felt by Clinton's female supporters is directed in large part toward the media. "The anger is aimed much more at you all," said Lt. Gov. Elizabeth Roberts of Rhode Island.

So if a female political candidate is beat up AS ARE THE MALE CANDIDATES, i.e. Bush, it's unfair and sexist.

And at they same time they say they're for equality.

Frauds.

Yes. Hillary has a huge amount of baggage. Her ridiculous lies, her crazy smile and cackling that indicate a manic state, Bill selling a pardon to Marc Rich and others, etc. She is not qualified to be POTUS - nor are Obama with his Rev. Wright problems and McCain with his lies and amnesty.

BTW, Hillary just came out with high praise McCain. Maybe in her desperation and blinded by her greed for power, she is hoping for a VP with McCain. With crazy McCain anything might be possible. Or maybe she wants Obama to lose and then run in 2012.

I noticed the wrong-eye-open too.

Nonsense. Hillary has been finally found out. The press hasn’t done anything to Hillary or Bill that they haven’t done to themselves. What goes around comes around.
