Sexism
Back in 1984, though I was too young to vote, I helped distribute literature, hand out bumper stickers & buttons etc., for Mondale/Ferraro. Since then I've supported & volunteered for any number of female candidates included Barbara Boxer in California and Kathleen Sebelius (the current Governor of Kansas).

I also have a wife and two daughters and count at least as many women as men amoung my close friends. My supervisor at work is a woman who I completely respect.

I'm really tired of being called a sexist because I do not, and will not support Hillary Clinton for President. It is not because of her gender - it is because I do not think she'd be good at the job.

So, like many others here I'm busy populating my 'ignore' list with Hillary supporters. Enough is enough.

1. Project much?
Wouldn't it have been more honest if you had just posted that you needed attention this morning?

2. Well put. I hold the same sentiments as a woman with a teenage daughter.
