Senator Kennedy Betrays Women by Not Standing For Hillary Clinton for President

January 28, 2008

Women have just experienced the ultimate betrayal. Senator Kennedy’s endorsement of Hillary Clinton’s opponent in the Democratic presidential primary campaign has really hit women hard. Women have forgiven Kennedy, stuck up for him, stood by him, hushed the fact that he was late in his support of Title IX, the ERA, and the Family and Medical Leave Act to name a few. Women have buried their anger that his support for the compromises in No Child Left Behind and the Medicare bogus drug benefit brought us the passage of these flawed bills. We have thanked him for his ardent support of many civil rights bills, BUT women are always waiting in the wings.

And now the greatest betrayal! We are repaid with his abandonment! He’s picked the new guy over us. He’s joined the list of progressive white men who can’t or won’t handle the prospect of a woman president who is Hillary Clinton (they will of course say they support a woman president, just not “this” one). “They” are Howard Dean and Jim Dean (Yup! That’s Howard’s brother) who run DFA (that’s the group and list from the Dean campaign that we women helped start and grow). "They" are Alternet, Progressive Democrats of America, democrats.com, Kucinich lovers and all the other groups that take women's money, say they’ll do feminist and women’s rights issues one of these days, and conveniently forget to mention women and children when they talk about poverty or human needs or America’s future.

This latest move by Kennedy, is so telling about the status of and respect for women’s rights, women’s voices, women’s equality, women’s authority and our ability – indeed, our obligation- to promote and earn and deserve and elect, unabashedly, a President that is the first woman after centuries of men who “know what’s best for us.

Furor NOW-NYS pres on the "gang raping" of Hillary (disgraceful attempt to portray Hillary as a victim)

1. This NOW member opposes Hillary

I'm not enthusiastic about the Dem Prez choices this year but I'm definitely not supporting Hillary and I told that to the NOW officers who came to support Ned Lamont last year. I told them that Hillary supports shipping my job overseas and I'd like to ship her job overseas and see how she likes standing in the unemployment line.

4. This is another article by that NOW person. She did two ugly ones.

It should be called out for what it was. I posted this article last night called it to her attention...as she had posted about another one by that person.

5. Same reason he/she kicks his/her own threads repeatedly.

Attention seekers tend to go away when you stop paying attention.
