8. I am an ardent Feminist....
Edited on Wed Jul-27-05 07:27 AM by Totally Committed
my heart is pure on this. Hillary is wrong for this time and this election cycle... Aside from the fact that her politics have drifted so far right of center that they make me nauseous, but here's why I will not support her: SHE WILL NOT WIN. Period.

Right or wrong, Red-State America is not ready to elect a woman Commander in Chief in a time of war and a time of "terror". And, it doesn't matter that she's proved a huge hawk. Right or wrong, Values-Voting America is not sure a woman should work outside the home, let alone run the country, AND they still have not forgiven the Clintons for godknowswhat they had to forive them for. She is unnecessarily polarizing. Right or wrong, I want to win this time, so I cannot support her.

If the DNC chooses to "annoint" her, and because of that, the voters obediently vote for her during the primaries, she runs without my vote. I can no longer support this level of lunacy that has guaranteed us a loser this many tries in a row.

(And, if we were hell-bent on running a woman for POTUS, the amazing Barbara Boxer would be more my style. So would Stephanie Tubbs-Jones. Hillary probably, at this point, wouldn't even make my personal top-ten.)
