Okay, I'm going to say this just once...if you have ovaries, and you vote for McCain...

[truebrit71]

...because Hillary didn't get the nomination or the VP nod, you get what you deserve...

There is NO WAY that any right-minded voting-age female should EVER vote for a republican candidate as long as overturning Roe v Wade is a central plank in their platform....I don't care HOW pissed off you are at the imaginary slights to your former candidate by the nominee and his vp pick...if McCain gets in, say goodbye to control of your own bodies...It's a very simple process...

Vote 3rd party, green, independent...whatever...but if you ACTIVELY help continue the failed policies, at home and abroad, out of spite, or bitterness, you will have no-one to blame but yourselves when it all goes wrong...

You also need to seriously re-evaluate where your priorities are as a 'Democrat' if you actively work for the defeat of the Presidential nominee...

1. If you have ovaries and vote for McCain whether you are

independent, Repub, or Dem, you aren't using your brain.

[nc4bo]

2. Might as well take them ovaries, slap a barcode on them and send them to market...

because all our ovaries will belong to the Repukican Party.

[still_one]

3. I wouldn't believe the trash coming out of the MSM. Hillary supporters will vote for Obama

We are being played by the republican machinery trying to psych us out. It won't work. Over 90% of the Clinton supporters DO NOT WANT mccain

They do not want more of the bush/mccain policies of the last 8 years

[No Elephants]

4. F the ovaries noise. ANY so called Dem who votes for McCain is a jerk, regardless of gender.

[Liberal Dose]

5. Republican Motto: All Your Ovary Belong to Us. Uteri too nt

[flpoljunkie]

6. McCain's base will see to it that he appoints only pro-life judges to th Supreme Court.

Count on it!

[Sparkly]

7. That may be, BUT...

I'd suggest the people who slam disgruntled Clinton supporters, but vowed during the primaries that they wouldn't vote for her if she got the nomination, remember how they were feeling. Would being called names, or being lectured, have changed your minds? What might have helped?

(I really doubt these women are going to vote for McCain anyway, but we DO need their votes for Obama/Biden.)

[Hatchling]

8. Thank you!

It was a hard road from grudgingly agreeing to vote for Obama, to being pissed at him, to being extremly enthused about this ticket. I DON"T need lectures about my ovaries and I DON"T need to have people keep putting me in a box as a Hillary Supporter. I'm on this board and I'm a Democrat.

True Hillary Supporters support Obama. It's best for her, it's best for us, it's best for the whole damn country.

The audience posts like this are trying to reach aren't on this board anyway. Go to their boards. Pester them there. Leave us alone!

9. I understand that, but my own POV

was if she won legitimately, I would vote for her, but if it looked like it was strong-armed away (things like the threats from big money donors, etc), then I didn't think I could. That being said, I would have had a few months to mull over what a McCain admin would mean, and would probably have changed my mind by election day anyway. Still, I can see both sides of that argument.

[Sparkly]

11. Some of them question "legitimacy" as well.

Because of the Florida/Michigan disenfranchisement. Yes, I know I know I know the arguments contrary to that view, and that it's hard to say what would have, could have, might have been, BUT ... There is a view that the primary process was illegitimate and that the will of the people was with Clinton. There's also a sense that she wasn't given a fair shake in the media while Obama was favored, and that she was significantly more prepared. I'm just sayin', that's what I'm hearing.

I'm also getting the sense that these voters want respect, and aren't sensing that. So scolding them is counter-productive. Sometimes it helps a lot just to hear people out. It's a good first step, anyway.

:hi:

[Lisa0825]

15. Yeah, that's why I said I could see it both ways.

I would actually give more credence to the complaints about Michigan and Florida if Hillary had been against that plan from the beginning. It was that she only opposed it when she was behind that led many of to feel that the concern wasn't genuine, but a ploy, and that just made us more adamant about it. There are so many facets to all the issues that both sides could go round and round ad infinitum.

edited to add: :hi: back atcha

10. any Democrat who votes for mccain should take responsibility

for the hundreds of thousands of deaths his policies are going to cause and the new wars that will be started, the total destruction of a free Supreme Court, more sanctioned torture, no medicare for 30 million Americans.

period.

and then shut the fuck up when all this comes to pass.

[redstate_democrat]

12. Exactly. I don't want to hear shit when the shit hits the fan for real.

I want them to sit down and shut the fuck up.

[Sparkly]

13. I'm not worried about them voting for McCain.

My concern is more that they'll stay home or vote 3rd party, because we need every vote we can get.

I don't think taking an adversarial position with them is persuasive, though.

[samsingh]

17. sitting home is still better than voting for mccain

[Alter Ego]

14. *puts head in hands and cries*

For the love of all that is holy, can we fucking stop talking about PUMAs or cougars or jaguars or panthers or lions or tigers or whatever the fuck they're called these days?

THE MORE WE TALK ABOUT THEM, THE MORE LEGITIMACY WE GRANT THEM AS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. IF WE IGNORE THEM, THEY DRY UP FROM LACK OF ATTENTION.

:banghead:

[kenfrequed]

16. I agree

If you are that pissed off go vote for a third party. Never, Ever, ever vote republican.

[bmartello]

18. AMEN!

You can say it as many times as you like as far as I'm concerned. I feel exactly the same way.

[hamsterjill]

19. Here!!! Here!!! Right on!!!

Well said and absolutely true. Any woman who can't understand that voting for a Republican almost assures the loss of the right to choose is a fool.

And I was a Hillary supporter, but I am an Obama/Biden supporter now.

You have to see the bigger picture!!!

[Dem_4_Life]

20. I agree...

How could you live with yourself?

[Fleshdancer]

21. they might get what they deserve, but my daughter will suffer

and that's why they'll get a fight from me. :grr:
