Facialexpressionsgate - it backfired. Drop it now so the race can still be open
Edited on Wed Jan-09-08 12:06 PM by robbedvoter
Offensive threads keep appearing here - so many - I decided to start one on the issues too. We are being called vacuous

and excitable

I had voted against Hillary in the senate race, but yesterday, I could have voted for her. The difference between the Iowa women and the NH women was Facialexpressionsgate.
MSM wanted to create a scream story and trained its cameras and venom on her non-stop. The moment. The anger. The tears. Major news stories all.
They forgot that Hillary has been through stuff like this - and Bill's approval was at 70% during the impeachment.
The gender issue was irrelevant during Iowa. But was created by the unacceptable behavior. I guess it's up to you if this race is open (as I'd like it to be) - or it's sealed now.
And just so it's very clear - attacks on the candidate - on issues - do not create a gender issue. Only treating her as a "woman" as opposed to a senator - with a checkered record - does.

I NEVER called ANY woman vacuous or excitable (or implied it in any way). The reference to 'excitable in the title is from the humorous, sarcastic treatment of the term from a suffragist in 1913. (which I provided at the end of the article.)
