Misogyny!
When the feeling's gone and you can't go on
It's misogyny
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one to love you
You're goin' nowhere
Misogyny!
When you lose control and you got no soul
It's misogyny
When the morning cries and you don't know why
It's hard to bear
With no one beside you
You're goin' nowhere

This is all empty, cherry picked rhetoric... No real and validated link to such malarkey.

"What’s your take on Secretary Kerry’s efforts so far in the Middle East?

"I think they are notable, and I have a great admiration for him. I stay in touch with him fairly often by email. I send him messages and tell him what my thoughts might be, and he has responded very graciously. He has had a very difficult time operating pretty much on his own. I know from experience that the best way to have the United States be a mediator is for the President himself to be deeply involved. In this occasion, when Secretary Clinton was Secretary of State, she took very little action to bring about peace. It was only John Kerry’s coming into office that reinitiated all these very important and crucial issues."

Rebecca Shabad did not post the entire article which covered such things as human trafficking, Christianity, Pope Francis, and the US role as the "biggest warmonger on earth", but it clearly shows that Jimmy Carter is not thrilled with Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Here's a link to the Time Magazine article:

but frankly I would love to know just what progress Kerry actually made in regards to the Israel Palestinian issue. Frankly given that Netanyahu is still there I don't see anyone making any progress. I think Carter's implicit blame of Obama and Clinton for the state of affairs in the Middle East is very unfair. Obama inherited a huge mess as did Clinton. Clinton and Obama laid the ground work for the Iran deal Carter mentions and got most of our troops out of Iraq. Have they made a garden of Eden there? No. Did Carter or anyone else for that matter? No. They left it better than they found it and did very well given what they were dealt.

How did they get 89 years of age. He's 91.

This election is about those who see and those who don't. I'm surprised more people aren't skeptical about Hillary. I have to say I was late to recognize it myself. I knew withing two years that Bill Clinton's administration was following establishment lines. But Hillary never caught my corruption o meter until the election. Now it's hard to avoid whenever I even hear her. Like Bush; the more you learn the less you like.

I am trying to change myself to not be that way.

When Clinton was in office, and before the primary fight with Obama, I thought she was the good Clinton, and that she was really trying to make a difference. But then 2008 came along and everything changed.
