WHY I'M VOTING FOR HILLARY (by Mike)

I'm reading the posts on CorrenteWire and found a couple of gems. As I've said before, these folks can say it better than I.

I’m chagrined that I too am voting for Hillary now that Edwards is out, and she was my last choice when this all started.

Vastleft has nailed my reasons and I’ll add just a couple more: Her Healthcare plan is better than Obamam’s and more similar to Edwards and healthcare is my number one issue. It also didn’t help Obama to play the Harry and Louise card against her or to so often use right wing memes against her.

Second, it’s time for a woman. I had to think personally about my life and realize that the best bosses and the best doctor’s I;ve ha din my 48 years have been women. Somehow, a women is more sensitive to human needs. It’s time for a woman’s compassion in the White House.

Finally, Hillary is not Bill and will be her own person. I was comforted to hear Carl Bernstein say that she was privately against NAFTA and urged Bill to reject it. I also think the one thing she will make sure of is she gets Universal health care passed. It’s the one thing she lost badly on, and I’m certain it’s her passion to get it done.

1. Women are naturally more compassionate? That's bullshit. Some of

the meanest people I've ever known were female, some of the most soft-hearted I've ever known are men. This is pretty sexist. The health-care reason is valid, the rest is silly.

2. And since when can't we choose a candidate by gender? We certainly have in the past.

3. You are free to. I think it's silly, myself. And I will dispute the notion that

women are more compassionate--that was a specific assertion in the article, and I'm not buying it.

4. Oh, okay. But, you know they are, right?
