Misogyny and Hillary

[texasmom]

Raw deal from the media? How so? She got treated like a candidate by a previously overwhelmingly Clinton-favorable liberal media...
 
Libs don't like her? This is a change; before the Clintons could do no wrong. Guess she must have P.O.'d them?

Great points.  They used to kiss her tail at every chance they could. Now she's actually being treated like she's "just one of the guys."

as you have been trying to say Hillary went down the tubes because she is a woman,

I never said that.

Yea, but Obama ain't being treated as "just one of the guys." He's being treated as a Messiah.

Here is a big MEDIA opinion as to WHY Hillary didn't do so well................

And this part really bothers me!

""He has transcended traditional politics," she says."

This part might be a good thing?

"Clinton and her supporters have charged that sexism is responsible for her loss of the nomination. But it seems more likely that women themselves cost her the nod. The reasons more women haven't voted for Clinton tell us something about the evolution of feminism and what the future may hold for female politicians."

VERY interesting.................. ......

I really do not care why she lost out.  I am grateful she did.  Dodging that bullet certainly reduces the angst about this election.

I am just curious why the Democrats seem hell bent on destroying what should be a certain victory in November.

That? It's just built into a Democrat's DNA. Same reason they get uncontrollable twitches when someone says "tax cut" within their hearing range.

 

Saw a good article on Real Clear Politics saying the Dems could afford a higher risk candidate like Obama in this election because the voter base is likely to reject any Rep based on the the last 4 years of Boosh.

I understand the running joke about the Democrats always managing to blow it.

Yes, I see where they think they can run anyone and will not lose.  But why risk it?  The President is just a pawn to the party anyway.  Why not insure a win with a reasonable candidate that can actually lay down a good story about how they will fix the ills the Bush regime has created?

The it whole strategy seems questionable to me.

Yah--if they were bound and determined to have a Black candidate, Harold Ford is a much more palatable guy to the middle

Because its not an organized conspiracy amongst the left wing media. Its a crescendo of emotion. They demand a black President. Their choice wouldn't be logical, its an emotional crap shoot. This is American President Idol.

It's a pity that Collin Powell has no intention of ever running. Condoleeza Rice has been so villified by the press and others that she isn't viable even though her qualifications dwarf both clinton and obama.

why not?
The republicans keep insisting on playing down to their level.
Its like they are in a competition with one another to see who can put up the worst people.

To paraphrase Lewis black
"One party gets up and says 'I GOT A REALLY BAD IDEA!!' and the other party says 'AND I CAN MAKE IT WORSE!!'”

And to quote Black exact.
This sums it up perfectly just change the candidates to the current ones and you will see we are right on track

In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we'll be voting for plants.”

I too am glad Hillary is out.
Far as Im concerned the was the worst of all Evils.

When she finally made it official people around here were finally convinced I'd lost my mind when I went around singing
"Ding dong the B**** is dead. the wicked B****. the B**** is dead!...."
