Why women shouldn't vote for Hillary Clinton - Telegraph (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2008/04/19/wuspols219.xml)


All women, on pain of excommunication from the feminist claque, must now support Hillary. Never mind her spotty record or her naked political expediency. Any woman with the temerity to endorse Barack Obama (as I do) is condemned as a "traitor" to her sex. "Gender is probably the most restricting force in American life," trumpeted Steinem earlier this year in an article promoting Hillary in the New York Times. Barriers of race, class or economics are waved away as mere frippery.







If Hillary loses, batten the hatches against a mass resurrection of paranoid, paleo-feminist martyrs, counting their wounds and wailing at the blood-red moon.

Hmm so where do black women fall in this scenario ........ :doh:

I'm surprised that a writer for a British newspaper would write an opinion piece like this. I can only guess the writer is an American, as only an American would make the points this writer makes. I would imagine that a Brit would use the model of Margaret Thatcher in making a case to vote for or against Clinton. Thatcher was never someone who could be accused of being beautiful, a feminist, or a woman who had been victimized or abused by men, and I would venture to say she would take anyone who accused her of being such to task for it. Thatcher was a leader, someone who was put forward and elected for her intelligence, integrity, bravery, and competence, i.e., qualities few seem to be able to find in Hillary Clinton.

I would think a true Brit would find the mere idea of a Hillary Clinton campaign to be nothing more than a bad joke and the idea of voting for her the epitome of insane behavior. Framing the debate of deciding to vote for Hillary based on her performance on the campaign trail or status as a feminist figure, instead of the simple realization that this woman is a loatheful human being as judged by her near countless examples of bad judgement and even worse behavior over the years, is an argument only an American could think to make.

...far from a true Brit and I've found her to be a bad joke for a long time.

Hopefully this campaign will have one lasting result ,and that will be to expose once and for all, the fallacy that Hillary Clinton is the smartest woman in the world. In fact she is hardly even bright.

Now if the voters in New York State will come to their senses and stop voting for celebrity and start voting for competence they will show her the door, and elect a competent Senator.
Although what I look for now is a promise from Democrats to give her the Majority leadership position to get her to drop out for Obama.

...learned nothing about the Clinton's we didn't already know; they do NOT quit.

This race is NOT over.

I think this is why Hillary cannot drop out of the race regardless of what the votes are. She has sacrificed so much of her credibility that it she loses she's going to lose it all. She won't get re-elected in NY. This is also why I won't be surprised if she takes a third part candidacy in the near future.

I can only guess the writer is an American, ...


As a resident of Philadelphia,....:whistle:

Camille Paglia is rather famous actually. She is an author and well known feminist. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camille_Paglia)

:yeahthat:

And her columns can be found at Salon.com. (http://dir.salon.com/topics/camille_paglia/index.html) While I mostly disagree with her, I think some of her columns are interesting.
