“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?”


So, do these people really think that any man with Hillary’s resume of 35 alleged years of experience would have been considered a serious presidential candidate?

Almost since the end of the 2004 election, we had heard that Hillary was the Dem. front runner for 2008, and she received mostly positive news coverage. The negative news coverage has come about due to her own negativity in this campaign. All through 2007, before any primaries, she was up in the polls and the talking heads chattered that she was inevitable.

Hillary brought a lot of problems on herself. Bill brought a lot of problems onto Hillary also.

Some people are just plain evil and deserve to be treated badly.

I think that the latest racist and sexist rants by the Catholic priest in Barack Obama’s church last Sunday will be the final straw for feminists who feel Hillary has been dissed the the media and the Obama campaign. Look for them to stay home on Election Day.

Talk about chickens coming home to roost.

The Libs have had this coming for decades.

They wanted this for their daughters and granddaughters. ... It's so heartbreaking.

If that isn't the sappiest damn reason to vote for someone, I'll eat my hat.

This article is full of it. Hillary was treated as well as any other candidate. She isn’t winning because many people including women, dislike and despise her.

she needs to sue the democratic party under the 14th amendment, equal protection clause.

that is Rush’s input on this whole thing.

Perhaps had the Clintons not treated so many news folks (along with so many others) so poorly maybe they’d have treated her a little better.

They wanted this for their daughters and granddaughters

I wanted a strong president, an honest leader, a politician with the humility to recognize not only that there are practical limits to the problems that a politician can solve but also that there are constitutional limits to the problems that a politician is permitted to use government to solve. I wanted all that for my mother, my wife, my daughter, and my hoped-for granddaughters, as well as for their male siblings.

A Democrat would consider me racist and sexist because I consider the character and ability issues far more important than the race and gender issues in finding the best possible chief executive for our country. Perhaps I'm just not as enlightened as they are. I would have thought that voting for someone because she's a woman was precisely as sexist as voting against her because of her gender. I would have thought that the 80% of black Democrats who vote for Obama because he's partially black were precisely as racist as the 20% of white Democrats who vote against Obama because he's partially black.

Theoretically, I would consider electing a black president (based on ability!) or a female president (again, based on ability!) to be good things for the country. To simply annoint a candidate because he's in Biden's words, "the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," does a disservice to the articulate mainstream leaders who deserve consideration for the job based on ability and also happen to be black. To treat Hillary as inevitable or even deserving because she had a romantic relationship with a former president similarly ignores the numerous qualified politicians who have accomplished something on their own rather than borrowing the limelight from a spouse, not to mention that the list of women who had romantic encounters with WJC appears to be a long list. Why is Hillary more qualified than Monica, Gennifer Flowers, or any of the other women who also had equally shallow relationships with WJC, and why would voting for a woman because she is female and despite the lack of other substantial qualifications be a positive precedent for the next generation of women?

“How much anger is there among women about how Hillary Clinton has been treated during this campaign?”

- - - and HOW SHOULD a Clinton be treated? Should there be respect for their leaving a long trail of dead friends behind them? Should they be respected because Hillary usurped the Presidency and started imposing a universal health scheme on us? Do they command respect for the sleasiest administration ever to disgrace the White House? Or maybe they should be respected for opening the door to al Qaeda to destroy the Trade Towers? I know - respect them for giving our military technology to China!

Did I hit the bullseye?

I’m not against women....just this woman. I fail to see where she has had bad treatment. It is politics. If she/he can’t take the heat, she/he should stay out of the kitchen.

Look what they have done to her
++++++++++++++++++++
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.
