Its well known that thousands of older women (and hard working white women)are voting for her just because she's a woman.

If she doesn't denounce these women immediately, she's party to reverse sexism. :evilgrin:

2. That is not what the women's movement
was all about. From an older woman who has been there and done that.

3. I really think this whole argument is ridiculous. People vote for
people they identify with and feel comfortablewith. Many women may feel that way about Hillary and many blacks may feel that way about Obama. That does not make them sexist or racist. Going further, many women may be supporting Hillary because they think it's time to put a woman in the WH and many blacks may think the same way about OBama. To call any of these people racist or sexist is silly. I have voted for Teddy Kennedy all my life. Did I vote for him because he is Irish Catholic like me...probably somewhat. Did I vote for him bacause of his politics, of course. On the other hand, voting against either Hillary or Obama because of their race or sex is a different matter.

5. Hillary is a wonderful person.
I believe people voted for her because they think she is the stronger leader.

6. My point is that accusing Obama of sexism is absurd.
