Totally with Edwards, Hillary grow up

[MalloyLiberal]

You're running for President not panelist on The View
Stop with the crying
Get some backbone and take on the corporations
And stop with the fear mongering and the 9/11 card

[TwilightZone]

1. Backbone - like Edwards showed when he stood up to Bush on the IWR?

Oh, right. He was "scared" into co-sponsoring it.

For the record, I have nothing against Edwards. I'm undecided and would be perfectly happy with any of the candidates winning the nomination. What I object to is this constant, hyperbolic, hysterical nonsense posted about our candidates.

[Sparkly]

15. No, backbone like when he got emotional and said "This is personal to me!"

It's okay for him, for some reason. (But don't say it's about gender, or you'll be labeled part of the dreaded "Sexism Swarm!")

[TwilightZone]

16. Good point.

And, yet, a lot of people will fight to the death the suggestion that there is a double standard in play.

[LostinVA]

2. Invoking "The View" was an excellent sexist jibe

[Occam Bandage]

3. "Get some backbone and take on the corporations." A good place to start would be

by working for hedge funds--preferably, hedge funds that invest heavily in subprime lending. And be sure to keep at least half your fortune in them! That's the way you can be a real anti-coporatist man of the people like Edwards.

[MalloyLiberal]

4. yeah, your man likes to give the corporations the taxpayers lunch

He is a sell out

[Occam Bandage]

5. Can't defend your guy, so you resort to broad, unsupported smears. Typical.

[MalloyLiberal]

7. Too bad it's the truth

[Occam Bandage]

10. Yep. It's the truth that Edwards doesn't walk the walk.

[ClericJohnPreston]

8. Who needs defense, when you have SLOGANEERING

I thought that was a vestige of Stalinism or some old Commie ruse, but Obama is perfecting it on the fly.

Why state platforms and show your ignorance? Much better to have a slogan a day, to keep scrutiny away.

Yesterday, it was "change" and "hope". Today, it was "riding the wave". This isn't some frickin theme Park ride, this is bare knuckle politics to rid this Country of CORPORATISM.

Ah, but theres the rub. Who is most Corporatist after Hillary? Why Barack Obama.

By the way, since I don't give free passes like the Press, why didn't anyone ask why he called Pakistan a "Democracy", this past Saturday Night in the opening question of the ABC debates? Hmm?

[Occam Bandage]

12. "We need a fighter!"

:eyes:

[ObamaAmerican]

6. America is ready for a black president but not a woman

Iowa was the clearest proof of this.

11. How ignorant.

[goldcanyonaz]

13. After reading all the sexist posts in regards to Clinton online, I have to agree with you.

Racism is a dying breed, but sexism is not only alive and kicking, but it's also thriving.

You've come a long way baby, was a crock of SHIT!

[MalloyLiberal]

14. I'd happily vote for Barbara Boxer and Elizabeth Edwards, my my...

But not Hillary.

[goldcanyonaz]

18. How safe of you, since neither is running.

[MalloyLiberal]

19. Convince them to and I will be for them

Stop with the sexist charges
It won't make anyone support your candidate
Being just like George Bush and Karl Rove will not win you supporters

[goldcanyonaz]

20. Yeah, you're really winning supporters for your candidate.

What's his name again?

[MalloyLiberal]

21. Mike Gravel

[gmudem]

25. So by your logic

Anybody who doesn't vote for Clinton is a sexist? Boy I can hardly argue with that unassailable logic.

[goldcanyonaz]

27. You must read with blinders to not see the sexist bullshit posted here.

Sad, but so common around here as of late.

[sandnsea]

24. Michelle Obama, Barbara Mikulski, Louise Slaughter

the idea that this is sexist is ludicrous.

[MalloyLiberal]

29. Don't think Michelle is qualified. Lynn Woolsey would be great.

[sandnsea]

30. Michelle is as qualified as Elizabeth n/t

[MalloyLiberal]

31. To show off dance moves. Michelle is as much fluff as Obama is

No policy whatsoever

[sandnsea]

32. She talks in real language to real people

We know what she means when she talks about neighborhood schools and pensions for grandmothers and a time when one salary could raise a family of four. We know there are 1,000 different solutions to every problem and the real answer is a President who will tell us the truth about the proposals and invite us into the problem solving process.

[Nailzberg]

36. Fluff. Yeah. VP of the University of Chicago Hospitals.

BA Princeton
JD Harvard Law

Associate at Sidley Austin
Assistant to the Mayor (Chicago)
Assistant Commissioner of Planning and Development (Chicago)
Executive Director Public Allies, Chicago Office
Associate Dean of Student Services, The University of Chicago
Vice President for Community and External Affairs, University of Chicago Hospitals.


I wouldn't exactly say that's fluff. That's the kind of resume that could easily run for office if she wanted to.

[phillysuse]

17. Black men got the right to vote before either

white or black women.

So maybe we will have a black male President before any woman.

[JVS]

35. Black men and women both had trouble exercising that right until the 1960's

US, and particularly Southern society took much longer to accept that the law about black men being able to vote should be observed than it did when the law changed to enfranchise women.

[sandnsea]

22. Disruptor

No Obama supporter would say such a thing.

[Adelante]

23. That is ridiculous

America's not ready for a Southern white male either?

[Mr_Monday]

28. Well

Black males were allowed to vote before white females. The Civil Rights movement preceded the worldwide feminist movement.

[Nailzberg]

33. Iowa was not proof that America isn't ready for a woman.

It wasn't even proof that IOWA isn't ready for a woman.

There's no telling how Hillary would have done against a different black man, or for that matter how a different woman would have done against Barack. The people of Iowa were choosing between individuals, they were not asked to support a race or gender.

[jsamuel]

26. Edwards didn't say that.

[JVS]

34. And over what? Because of a primary election.

This is not Nam, Smokey, this is bowling!
