Re: Dead tell no tales...but can they vote?

StevieN, No one really cares about impressing you. HRC is the better candidate, regardless of her gender. Maybe this is why the opposition found it so necessary to phrase their attacks in gendered-language, because they're certainly not going to get anywhere attacking her on her domestic policies or her moderate FP stances. And no, those who don't support HRC are not against women, unless those who don't support HRC are against women. The tenor of many the attacks on her, on the Fray and in the media, suggest that misogyny does have something to do with it. I used to support HRC because she was the best candidate in my book, now I support her because I do feel like justice is an issue here. I do feel like many of those who don't support her are against women (either directly or tacitly through their silence). And their position *is* rational: she is the best candidate. Many HRC supporters, and others as well, find the support of Obama to be irrational--based on cult of personality and meaningless rhetoric. So I guess "rational" is subjective, isn't it?

I have to tell you, princess. that you are indulging in HYSTERICS (hehehe). Even disregarding the schoolgirl stuff such as "nobody cares about impressing you," your post is an hysterical and irrational rant.

Well, that craziness has been on increasing display on the forum in inverse correlation to Hillary's campaign success. Which itself only demonstrates (no surprise) that at least SOME of Hillary's support has been of the intensely irrational kind (as I'm sure some of Obama's support is).

That's no great news. The only interesting thing here is the inevitable comic effect you create when you insist your rants are clear and rational arguments--and that everybody who disagrees is irrational :)
