I'd have to agree with you on Clinton. We shouldn't vote based on gender or race. It has to be on principles and the person's vision for our country. I just wasn't getting that from her. I would have *loved* to see a woman as president but not like this. Clinton did, however, pave the way for future woman candidates but the future candidates need to be better.Madame Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14001036282786016105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17577430.post-52024022162599498452008-06-14T12:51:00.000-05:002008-06-14T12:51:00.000-05:00I appreciate you post.

I'm linking it up over at my place!

I would ad on the gender issue (step lightly, Spritopias) that my co-worker Debbie said she wasn't voting for Clinton and one of the reasons was that she went out of her way to fulfill every negative stereotype about women and live up to the caricature of her devised by the right. <BR/><BR/>Also, as someone who lived in Connecticut I look to Ella Grasso and think, "there was a woman elected Governor without being someone's wife or daughter." That's what I want for our first woman president because I found it absurd that Hillary was carrying the feminist banner as she ran as a former first lady. Anyone can say anything they want about it but her claim to fame is being someone's Mrs. Yes, I know she is an able, smart human being who would already be President on her own without her husband but this is the path she took.<BR/><BR/>Also, I think Dubya has reminded us that being someone's family member is a bad recommendation for any job. <BR/><BR/>What do you think about the fact that if Obama is the first African American president that he would also NOT be descendent of slaves?Christopias Spritopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11420346152084312981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17577430.post-77243412541479788842008-06-06T01:24:00.000-05:002008-06-06T01:24:00.000-05:00pf: i agree with your points. i hate that we're th...pf: i agree with your points. i hate that we're the best BS. and anastasia, i want to have some hope that obama will not be politics as usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17577430.post-424246371480807512008-06-05T13:22:00.000-05:002008-06-05T13:22:00.000-05:00the thing is....Obama will be politics as usual. ...the thing is....Obama will be politics as usual. the fact that his rhetoric suggests otherwise doesn't mean a thing. in fact, the candidate for change is a pretty standard trope making it, again, politics as usual.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
