Feminism does not mean getting to the top by any means necessary.
The end of getting to the top does not justify destroying other people and annihilating other values in the process. I am a feminist and I want to see women in leadership as much as any other woman, but I cannot be proud of someone who gets there by breaking the rules, tearing others down, destroying her own party, and showing no loyalty to anyone but herself. Then she stands for nothing and nobody.

4. I don't support male pols like that...
and it would be sexism to back a female pol with the same shortcomings.

6. You're referring to the Obama campaign
I'm afraid you won't be able to come up with anything besides your empty accusations.

OTOH, Obama is wearing everyone out with his constant attempts to play the race card. Its getting very, very old.

12. Da Nile aint just a river in Egypt.
Obama has never played the race card and never stooped to the pettiness of his opponent.

13. Nowhere near as old as your rage.
Do you have nothing to contribute but attacks?

I know, the question has been asked and answered.

8. Hear, hear!
Thanks, from one feminist to another. To me, feminism isn't about power, it's about equity and fairness and above all, CLASS.

19. feminism is more than what she's giving and you don't HAVE to
vote for the woman. she makes me very sad because people will believe that there isn't something more to aspire to and to behave about. I never thought I would do anything but defend her but she doesn't deserve it because she didn't earn it. That is not capitulation. Its the truth.

10. She stands for me and many other women in this country. This forum does not reflect our nation.
Thank G-D!

15. Agreed.
This whole thing stinks and Clinton has done nothing to denounce it.

Bow out now, Senator Clinton. You've done far too much damage...unless that was your plan all along. :nuke:

16. Hillary is at the top because she has shown leadership, is smart, caring, and people VOTE 4 her!
You mis characterize her and all she's done.

But I commend your, umm, enthusiasm.
