Reply #11: I don't think this party has turned its back on women. Women have been

[glowing]

so instrumental within the Democratic party.. Women tend to vote Democratic more than men. AND I think part of that bleeding, heart liberal emphasis is because women tend to impassion a broader scope of humanity and justice.

I don't think that Hillary Clinton lost because she's a woman. It may be a reason some voted against her, but for the larger part, I believe she lost it because she is a Clinton. There are still some very raw emotions out there for people from the 90's when her husband was the President. I do not think this election serves to throw women backwards... I think this helps women. In the future, women will be considered just as much as men. She has done that. She has raised the bar... the glass ceiling. FOR that I am grateful... However, her campaign style, her pandering, her kitchen sinks, gaffes, and out and out lies really served to remind me that I don't want this style of politics to continue. I think Obama has brought a different style of politicing.. I wasn't so much for his unity. I was mad at Repigs. I am mad at big corporations that are sucking the life energy out of the US.. but as I've listened to him and I've listened to people from all around this county, I realize that more people are on the same page.. they just don't realize it because they are polarized by a party. Obama has made it ok for the Republicans to feel like they have a voice too. Obama has allowed everything but negativity to be asked and expressed and discussed... its a level of maturity that this country needs.. Its time for our relatively young democracy to get out of its teenage spits and spasms, and embrace adulthood.
