WOMEN!... ! According to NBC .... The Dem election boils down to us!!!

[demo dutch]

Poll question: WOMEN!... ! According to NBC .... The Dem election boils down to us!!!

According to NBC's nightly news' Russert, The Dem election boils down to what choice women (black, brown, white and everthing in between) will make at the ballot box tomorrow!

Not being sexist guys honestly! I'm just amazed at how awesome it is that the passing of the 19th amendment would boil down to this historic fact!

It never been as pronounced as this time ever!

Question is (NBC Quote) Will we honor our mothers (Clinton) or our daughters (Obama)




Oops didn't mean to hit the poll button, sorry!

[MonkeyFunk]

1. That's been true

for a long time.

[demo dutch]

3. Never as pronounced as this time really!

[Cleita]

4. Oh, my! Are you all upset about your milleniums of male

entitlement going all to hell? Boo-hoo! Cry me a river.

[MonkeyFunk]

16. Are you fucking daft?

How on Earth did you draw that conclusion from what I wrote?

[Cleita]

17. Because of your monkey picture.

It was perfect. Thanks for the opportunity to call you on it. :rofl:

[mondo joe]

18. That picture is in all of MonkeyFunk's posts. nt

[Cleita]

19. Duh! I know, but it was perfect.

He hasn't been nice to me in the past so I'm getting a little of my own back.

[mondo joe]

20. Hm. I don't know what's passed between you two.

I don't see any reason to suggest MonkeyFunk feels what you posted. None at all.

[Cleita]

23. Isn't he able to answer his own posts or does he need

you to be his guard?

[mondo joe]

25. I'm sure he can answer for himself, and I'm sure he will.

I don't see why that prohibits me from commenting on slander against another DUer.

[Cleita]

28. Slander?????????

That's plain stupid. Please tell me where you read slander into it.

[mondo joe]

41. It seems slanderous to me to suggest MonkeyFunk is upset about his

"milleniums of male entitlement going all to hell."

:shrug:

[MonkeyFunk]

45. Thanks Joe

I appreciate it.

You can't fight with crazy - it just doesn't work.

[MonkeyFunk]

21. Because we've argued politics

you feel free to make that terrible accusation against me based on nothing?

Well now I know what kind of person you are. A reasonable human would've apologized. You make lame excuses.

[Cleita]

24. A terrible accusation? My do you overstate BS much?

You have never apologized to me so don't expect me to apologize to you for .........what?

[MonkeyFunk]

29. apologize for disagreeing with you?

I never once questioned your motives. You pretty blatantly insinuated that I perceived a threat to my male privilege, and that's why I posted what I did.

You couldn't be more wrong. And your excuse doesn't even ring true - you jumped to the worst possible conclusion, and now you're defending it. You're dishonest and dishonorable.

[Cleita]

31. I apologize. I didn't realize how sensitive you were about it.

Methinks thou protests too much though. After five thousand years of female suppression, I get upset when men start complaining about women finally gaining some say in how things are run. Now you can apologize to me.
And btw I'm not voting for Hillary.

[MonkeyFunk]

32. What complaint did you see in my post?

You ARE fucking daft. I'm not going to apologize for disagreeing with you on a constitutional issue. As I said, I never questioned your motives, I never even thought to do so.

Look, I don't expect you to offer a sincere apology - you've already proven who you are.

[Cleita]

34. I get where you're coming from so just forget it. I didn't expect

an apology from you anyway.

[MonkeyFunk]

36. You haven't told me what you want me to apologize for.

I thought you owed me an apology for your nasty insinusation that my posting "That's been true for a long time" was a sexist, sneering dismissal of women and their vote because it violated my sense of male privilege.

In fact, it was a statement of a simple historical fact. You read much more into it than was actually there.

But fuck it - you've shown your character for all to see. You can have the last word.

[Cleita]

38. You have been using words like

“fucking daft”, “terrible accusation” “nasty” and your friend used the word “slander” when all I did was assert a feminist position against male hegemony. I have feelings too and quite honestly I'm amazed how men get upset in the extreme when women fight back. You know what you meant with that original statement. It's just that your signature picture punctuated your statement so well.

[Richardo]

43. All people, not just men, "get upset" when on the receiving end of an unprovoked attack

I have no idea what's gone on between you two, but MonkeyFunk's post actually supported your statement, pointing out the historical importance of the women's vote, and you let the shit fly.

Here's a sexist remark: Know the origin of the word 'hysterical'?

[MonkeyFunk]

51. Thank you Mr. Richardo!

much appreciated.

[HEyHEY]

44. I take offense to your insinuation that men are apes.

It's a bigoted and sexist remark.

[Skittles]

48. stop feeding the f***ing trolls, Cleita!!!!!

starve the bastards!

[Cleita]

49. You are so right.

The boys just can't take it when the tables are turned on them. Yet we just have to smile and take all the insinuations about a woman who would be President. Funny how the word hysteria always arises when women are being put in their place.

[Skittles]

50. very disconcerting, the amount of hatred for women displayed on DU

it's so bad

[MonkeyFunk]

53. There was absolutely no display of hatred

toward women. It was entirely imagined by Cleita. Shame on you for egging the whole thing on.

[MagsDem]

2. It's true, and I think the majority will vote for Hillary!

[Cleita]

7. Doesn't matter if it's Hillary or otherwise, women will be a large

influence and it looks like if the present trend of wives cancelling out their husband's votes is going to catch on. Look at Maria Shriver endorsing Obama after her hubby the governator endorsed McCain. I wonder if Gov. Stupidpecker is sleeping on the couch these days.

[Tellurian]

9. Yes, I agree..Women will put Hillary over the top

in spite of Obama's celeb endorsements.. They all only have "one" vote..

"I am woman hear me roar"

[Nitrogenica]

5. I agree, and they will support the Democrats!!

[BooScout]

6. It's about damned time.

:dem:

[peacebird]

8. this woman hopes we make history by nominating Obama!

[Raine]

12. Same here

:-)

[skooooo]

13. here here!

Me too!

[Kittycat]

15. I voted early for Obama :)

Another Obama Mama

[Rosa Luxemburg]

37. ITA!

[Proud2BAmurkin]

10. why doesn't it boil down to hispanics, age, income

there are gaps there just as huge

[demo dutch]

30. actually latino vote is important too! but latino incl. women!

[MercutioATC]

11. That's been true since 1920.

Women make up roughly 51% of the population...you do the math.

[kestrel91316]

14. I got my two assistants registered to vote this past week.

One had moved last year and apparently DMV did not update her address with the Registrar (!?!?!), so I downloaded a form for he and gave her an envelope and stamp. Done deal!

The other one has been in LA over a year after livig in SC a couple of years and hadn't got around to registering. So I did the same for her.

People get it in their heads that it's a big deal and a hassle to register, and it's not. It is more trouble these days because NONE OF THE USUAL PLACES HAVE VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS ANYMORE. The PO and libraries don't have them, and act like you're crazy for expecting them to have them. Going into city and county offices these days is a major security hassle. So thank heaven we can download the form.

[cd3dem]

22. this mamma is voting for Clinton and my 18 year old daughter is too!!

she is edgy-cated... a dang liberal feminist like her mamma

[REDFISHBLUEFISH]

26. Thanks from a male Hillary supporter!

[robbedvoter]

27. This mama, her mama-in-law and our respective husbands - for Hillary

[sandnsea]

33. I am a free woman

and I am voting for someone who will bring the country together across race, gender, and party lines.

[calico1]

35. I cracked up when Russert made the remark that

Oprah, Caroline, Maria Shriver, etc. were out campaigning for Obama to make it "all right" for women to vote for a man. LOL. Hello? What kind of candidates do they think we have voted for all these years?

No, I don't support Hillary JUST because she is a woman but I don't need Oprah to give me permission to vote for Obama. If he impressed me enough I would. I just thought it was hilarious that people like her really think they need to help us women along in making up our minds.
:eyes:

[OzarkDem]

39. As it always has

Dem leadership has always been reluctant to admit that the majority of their party and voters are women, period. That's one major reason why they've lost so many elections in the last 30 years.

[catnhatnh]

40. Shame you don't want to honor our Ideals....

but that would mean the white guy.....and they wrote him off weeks ago...

[rucky]

42. What, no soccer women? NASCAR women?

just WOMEN?!

the media is slackin'

[loveangelc]

46. I hope women will start coming to their senses and voting for Obama

he is definitely the best candidate for women imo.

[rodeodance]

52. My senses are intack--~~ALL-FIRED-UP FOR THE LADY~YES SHE CAN, YES WE CAN~~

[Indenturedebtor]

47. Shocking

I had no idea that there were so many women in this country. It's almost like they're half of the population all of a sudden :rolleyes:

BREAKING: Most people have ears on their heads.

This election isn't about sex or race. Otherwise I wouldn't have a candidate!

[newspeak]

54. i'm a woman

and if one such as Barbara Boxer were running, I'd be backing her 100 percent!!! So, if C. Rice was the republican candidate, we'd all be voting for her because she's a woman? I'm voting for the candidate and his/her platform, I don't care if their black, white, purple, male or female.
