I thought we were going to let Senator Clinton end on a high note.
Edited on Tue May-13-08 04:22 PM by sfexpat2000
I congratulate Senator Clinton on her win tonight. Her run was very important for American women -- and for our sons and daughters. It took a lot of strength on her part and I appreciate the inroads she made for women who come after her.

It matters a lot to me that I disagree with her on many things. But this one thing I couldn't appreciate more. Hillary Clinton ran as the first viable woman candidate for the Presidency. That will be her legacy. And I'm moved that I got to see that in my lifetime.

My mother and I went to the National Portrait Gallery not long ago. We're both political nuts and history buffs and Rosie said, "Look at all those white men". And, she was right. You can't be a woman and walk around the National Portrait Gallery and not feel somewhat excluded. The portraits are magnificent, larger than life but they don't image women as leaders. To our great collective loss.

Hillary Clinton began the process of changing that exclusion this year. And for that, she deserves all the credit in the world.

Edit.

2. and as a woman in that position, she could have made the process richer,
more meaningful, and a door-opener for many other women.

that she has pushed through a barrier.

and btw as an Indian, having a woman head of state was not unusual for me.

of her run.

Because it is possible to disagree with Hillary Clinton AND to appreciate the work she's done for future women candidates.

5. Too bad she is such a flawed candidate to represent women. There
are plenty of very intelligent, non-manipulative women out there who will do women justice when the time comes. The time unfortunately, is not now...

25. That's pretty harsh
And unfair, I might add.

Hillary is highly intelligent; I know for a fact that her IQ is above genius level.

Hillary had to be manipulative to get by in a man's world -- no, a REPUBLICAN man's world. Hopefully, the next woman to run for president won't have to be, but I'll not be taking bets on that. There is still a lot of work to do before women are fully accepted in politics. Hillary was accepted. We owe her a debt if for no other reason than that.

I think she did women more than justice. There are no guidelines... Hillary had to write the book from scratch. I didn't vote for her, didn't support her, didn't really care for her as a candidate. But I appreciate what she did for me, and for all other women.

I will always appreciate what she has done.

29. I Feel The Same Way About Obama On That "Ism" Issue
For me, he's not the AA one. I've known better. I wish people would respect that opinion as not being an "ism" but a personal evaluation, even if they don't agree.

11. Hopefully she will have paved the way for women
to run for high office in the future. I get tired of the squishy white guys who have been at the helm for so long. Look at what a good job they have done so far. They have left a path of death, destruction and debt. This is an election that has changed the face of politics thanks to Clinton and Obama.

here of those tactics.

And, giving credit where it is due never hurt anyone. Tonight, I congratulate Hillary Clinton for her accomplishment in this race. For what she won for herself from the Old Boys' Club and for paving the way for other women.

Can you deal with that? :)

26. I have a problem that she had to make her accomplishment, while blantantly trying to undermine
another person's accomplishment. Sorry but I like to think that people are better than rats trying to get out of a bucket. You know where they keep pulling each other back in, rather than try to help each other out. Both Clintons have completely destroyed their reputations with me, and what ever little bit of good they might have accomplished, was easily out weighed by all the bad.

Search my posts that agree with you on the one you bring up.

But, no matter what, from now on, it will be possible for women to run for national office. And that's tremendous, imo.

If Obama is the sure deal, what's the point in the continued floggings?

It's beginning to get more than a little perverse!

I'll be looking forward to seeing Hillary mentioned in the history books when my grand kids learn about her in school(soon as I have some, and soon as they are old enough for American history).

102. Well, that would be the ideal. In real human life, most of us
don't do that well. I share some of your disappointment but, it would be easy to just discount what she did. That would be easy, right?

It's much more important to mark the gains we make, no matter how imperfect, when we make them. It's more human, more real, imho.

The constant chewing and regurgitating of these "wrongs" is getting fucking sick. And more importantly, how is this helping Obama?

It's not... this alienates potential votes for Obama come November... if he gets the nom... which you seem very sure of... fine by me, but don't fuck him over by bashing potential voters! That's just dumb.

I've posted an encyclopedia on that topic.

It's more a matter of recognizing that women will be more integrated in national politics after this run. One situation doesn't null the other one.

119. You should start working for Obama then...
By shutting the fuck up and not dissing someone who will no doubt be his most staunch supporter after the convention... that would be Hillary... and the remaining Hillary supporters who didn't feel completely fucked over by the Obama supporters.

This does Obama no good at all. None. In fact, it hurts him... horribly. The margin of voters alienated by this bullshit could very well be the margin we needed to keep the GOP from stealing yet another election.

Every vote is sacred right now.

for years I have faught to defend them and support them on various political message boards. Now I feel betrayed by the two of them. That makes me feel pretty angry and very bitter. I think about all the grief and aggrevation I went through on their behalf, only for them to turn around and act like they did.

125. I understand that
But handing the ability to steal another election over to the GOP is not going to hurt the Clintons at all... it's going to hurt you... and me... and everyone else here.

It's time to heal. I know you feel burned. I don't... maybe I'm older and maybe I've watched Hillary take the standard political twists and turns here... she tried to run her campaign old school, but that school is being closed down.

I'm just happy to see Hillary blaze the trail for other women... women who will no doubt learn from these mistakes! Better Hillary made a bunch than to leave it for the next woman to learn on her own, I say!

The next woman will be much wiser... thanks to Hillary.

22. It was up to Hillary to end it on a High Note, and she refused to do so
Instead, she and her supporters made it all about Only Hillary Can Win A White State Where They Elect A Klansman To The Senate And They Won't Vote For The "Colored Boy" In The General Election.

And the fact that Hillary is willing to let that be her last statement in this campaign, is simply disgusting.

And we'd be making a mistake not to take what we can from this contest.

The next time a woman runs for President, everything will have changed. That's no small thing.

83. The next woman who runs will be the true test.
It's not by any means "sexist" to say that Hillary had a great number of advantages going into this contest, simply because her last name was "Clinton".

I'm hoping I'll be able to be a little more enthusiastic about the next one. Possibly in 2016? Not even going to guess at any names, because 8 years is an eternity in politics. (Nobody had heard of Barack Obama in 2000, or Bill Clinton in 1984)

24. Hillary will take this to the Convention.
She will let the GOP vet-out Obama, he will be seen as "spoiled goods" by August 25th........

It is far, far, far from over is the way I see it.

39. You know, this is going to sound strange but Obama behaved more like
the woman I had hoped Hillary would be in this campaign than Hillary did. He seemed less hateful, divisive, edgy, more composed, more thoughtful...I had hoped she would be the one who was less like an attack dog. I'm not sure I like the legacy she left as the first really viable candidate. BTW, I'm female and her age and her education.

On the other hand, he was already male and perhaps needed a little less to prove his machoness.

The real differences that we have with her choices seem valid to me but what will matter in terms of broad strokes in years to come is that she made the run. It's possible that many posters here don't get how profound a challenge this was to the Old Boys Club. But, maybe, that's a good thing, too -- if that kind of thinking is off of their radar.

I really don't know. Maybe the lesson here is that you don't have to act like the boys to best them. I think you may be right in many aspects and I guess time will tell. Also, what she does after this will be very important for women's future in politics...we'll see. I certainly wish her some rest and peace and a new beginning. This must be just crushing.

If she chooses to go negative or try and drag this to the convention, people will have different memories.

72. My idea sank like a stone (but I'm used to that :-),
I wanted the Obama Campaign to ask all supporters to vote for Senator Clinton in WV - I wanted a 100 to 0 result, a hearty round of applause, several stiff drinks and forward into the GE.

My fellow Obama supporters didn't see it that way, but I thought it was a good idea.

for a moment? Because there will be a benefit for women who mount challenges to a degree.

I have no problem calling out discrimination. But, I would be dishonest not to appreciate, by the very same token, gains made on behalf of women dealing with inhabiting public life.

Senator Clinton is race baiting? You and all the rest of your ilk are why we will not vote for barack,, not voting for McCain either - just sitting it out.

All of you have accused any non- barack supporter as racist from the first, and still do so.

Deny your accusing the West Virginians of that right now.

No racist pigs in NC? because racism does not exist among the black, yeah...right.
But the huge majority of West Virginians are white. The lower income white that Hillary carries, and the majority of the United States. Oh but according to you, they are all racist.
And you accuse Senator Clinton of playing the race card.

Your ugliness is why he'll lose, if he makes it. Happy now?:rofl:

because of her gender. We do proceed on the bridge that others have built before us. That's very true.

Hillary Clinton, no matter if you're a devotee or a detractor, just gained us all some yardage.

Her "hard working white American" comment within the last 48 hours was in keeping with the low notes of the last few months.

That said, my sister (who supports Obama enthusiastically) voted for Hillary. I was proud she did so.

It was more than just symbolism. She beat all the other candidates except Senator Obama.

She's opened a door that was shut and that will never be shut again. Still, I'm not happy with Bill and Hillary these days, but I applaud your decency and good spirit.

And on edit: K&R.

141. It is more than symbolism.
She helped a nation imagine a woman president. That's no small thing.

As to the other, I hope with you that's at an end.

140. I belong to the oldest democratic womens club in the nation 2 years ago we had the 65th anniv party
Edited on Wed May-14-08 02:15 PM by flyarm
I was on the planning committee for the party..we were able to display the original books documenting the clubs begining..

To all of our surprise..there were no women on the original board..not one..all were men..6 men started the club..as women were not allowed to start a political club in this USA...so the men were the surrogates who opened the club for the women..furthermore..the women were not allowed to have the meetings without the men being present.

We have two club members that are in their 90's of age..and they remembered it well.

The men had to run the meetings and had to be present for the women to assemble to have their meetings..

I was proud to be at the 65th Anniversary party of our Democratic Womens Club..and proud to be among women who fought for our rights before me...I respect them enormously.

Those women are my hero's

As Is Hillary..she has taken more bullshit than anyone should have to have dished out to them..and she has taken it with honor!

This woman was the First lady ...of the first Democrat in over 30 years to win two terms in the white house....no one candidate does this alone..

She is the first, first lady to not just win one Senate term but two and the second with a much larger winning percentage.

remember this ladies...

About Ginger Roger about Fred Astaire:

"Sure he was great, but don't forget Ginger Rogers did everything he did backwards . . . and in high heels!"
