When confronted with dangerous and aggressive foreign powers will President HRC cry "sexism"?

[whatchamacallit]

Seems to me if she labels any affront to her as sexism, she's in for a rude awakening when she encounters all those impolite folks with tanks and missiles.

I'm just sayin...

[PBS Poll-435]

1. No....The Obama Family Doctor

Says she is just emotional. She just needs some pickles, some ice cream and a DVD of Beaches. A soft blanket and some sweats wouldn't hurt either.

Are you serious or just spamming?

[whatchamacallit]

3. Somewhere in between

I'm just saying playing the "sex card" won't buy her much out in the real world.

8. Hey, if Midol will make her campaign

14. No...probably some levitra

He seems "frustrated."

[DevonRex]

19. LOL, he does seem "frustrated."

Wonder if he's gotten paid yet.

[PBS Poll-435]

20. Money doesn't buy "that."

"That" requires pharmaceuticals.

[DevonRex]

22. Oh, did I say "paid?"

Meant to type an L. :)

[PBS Poll-435]

23. LOL...

Yuck!

[DevonRex]

11. Genuine emotion is fine.

Faking it is insulting.

[Hepburn]

2. Clap, clap, point, point....

...she is just sooooooo clueless. I cannot wait until she does that and then says, "Shame on you..." to some world leader.

[whatchamacallit]

6. Sadly, people don't bother to consider what's PC when blowing shit up.

15. 9/11 Changed Everything, didn't it...?

[ronnykmarshall]

33. I can't wait for the Obama folks to call for a donation.

"I'll have to think about it" - Michelle Obama

[DevonRex]

5. Thankfully she won't get the chance...

I'm so sick of her pity party. If I'd tried that kind of crap in the military I'd have been laughed out of uniform. I was actually told not too long ago by an elderly family member that women who didn't vote for Clinton were "traitors". It's like they're stuck in the 1950s when women were expected to stay home and cook and have babies. Sure, there's more work to be done on matters of equal pay. But for cryin' out loud we women CAN make our lives as good as we want them to be.

[whatchamacallit]

7. Word.

[Buzz Clik]

9. Nah. I envision a reprise of the "Shame on you!" moment followed by an emotional appeal.

"Shame on you, Vladimir Putin! You and I had a deal that you would not use nuclear force pre-emptively on any of our cities! Shame! On! You!"

And, later at a news conference, in low, slow tones with a catch in her throat, "When I heard of the 12 million dead in New York city, I walked into the Oval Office and threw my lapel pin across the room."

Something like that.

[DevonRex]

10. Wouldn't she have to poll first to see what her

response would be? And then wouldn't she have to triangulate a response that would fit the poll results yet not piss off anyone who disagreed? And then wouldn't she have to make sure Putin gave money to the Clinton Family charity before she actually threw that lapel pin? Just sayin..

[Ysabel]

26. don't forget how long it'd take to get dressed too (n/t)...

[Fredda Weinberg]

12. She may see that the root of many conflicts differently. Males tend to

respond instinctively to aggression w/posturing ... females have different skills.

That may make you feel insecure in your masculinity. I'm just sayin ...

[Ysabel]

27. what...like how...???

"males tend to"...???

and how do women respond differently / do you know all women...???

women are not all the same...

neither are men all the same...

forget it please don't respond to me (like last time you didn't)...

- just please cut the crap...

[Fredda Weinberg]

32. No crap. We are different and it's idiotic to pretend otherwise.

Your hostility is telling, though ... insecurity, perhaps?

[SoCalDem]

13. and we all know how middle eastern countries respect women

and love taking orders and being beholden to women :eyes:

[BenDavid]

16. What the hell is so wrong in pointing how how sexism is playing

a huge role in this campaign, originating from the obigot campaign. You obigot supporters are so easy to label anyone a bigot and a racist when one brings up anything about obigot. If this is what america will become if this empty suit is elected and one cannot speak out against someone then we americans are in for one long 4 years.

Yes, we had this election won until obigot decided to "unite us" and he has done one hell of a job doing that, right? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

If obama believed any of what he is saying then why did he ever allow the racial divisiness his campaign launched against Hillary and Bill Clinton? Why didn't he fire Jesse Jr. when he used the rcial card against Hillary. The fact is that obama can give a good speech, but that is all he has done. He doesn't live up to his words. They are empty bullshit.

[rodeodance]

17. You have revieled the fact that you know NOthing about HRC--only how to mock her.

[TexasObserver]

18. Yes, like Indira Gandhi, Golda Meir, Margaret Thatcher & Benazir Bhutto ...

I'm sure everyone recalls how those women always complained about how "the boys" were treating them, and how it was sexism that always drove opposition to them.

There are some great women in American politics. Hillary is not one of them.

[DevonRex]

21. Great point.

I just don't understand why Hillary decided to whine. Certainly not a show of strength.

[TexasObserver]

24. Barbara Boxer, Claire McCaskill, the late Ann Richards, the late Barbara Jordan

And there are many others who could and should be considered LEADERS.

Hillary has never led anything except the efforts to aggrandize Hillary.

Did you hear Claire McCaskill today? On point and saying what needed said. That's leadership, not more "me, too" from Hillary.

28. This seems like a very silly thread. Was this meant for the lounge?

Just askin...

[Cha]

29. No...'cause

hilary's losing and Obama will handle it in his own inimitable way. Although, hilary's trying to steal Obama's Hope message as we type.

Hillary ridicules Obama's theme of hope then steals it:
Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 01:41 PM by jenmito

"Scranton" (Scranton Market)
TV :30

Hillary Clinton: This is me in Scranton, where my father was raised, and my grandfather worked in the lace mill.

Every August, we'd pile into the car and head to our cottage on Lake Winola.

There was no heat, or indoor shower-just the joy of family.

I was raised on pinochle and the American dream.

I still have faith in that dream

It's just been neglected a little.

We all need to dream it again

And I promise we will.

I'm Hillary Clinton and I approved this message.

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2008/04/08/clinton... /

Obama's been talking all along about hope, and Hillary has ridiculed him for it, and of course, now she's using it ("dream" in place of "hope" but same message).
