Is anyone voting for Hilary other than me?

Hillary was asked about her position on drivers' licenses for illegal aliens. Her answer left everyone wondering what she was talking about. She now says she was "attacked" at the debates. Apparently, to Hillary a direct question on an issue is an "attack.

???????????????????????

Excuse me for sounding callous but what does an illegal alien need a drivers license for in the first place they shouldn't be in our country if they're not legal much less be issued a drivers license.

Oh and incidentally, I did not give any other respondent to this question a negative rating. I welcome the celebration of different perspectives. That's how we learn. I hope I don't get whammy'd for providing a different perspective here. Thanks!

As you said everyone is entitled to their opinions and I will give you no black mark for yours. But I tell you what girl, women have been bowing down to men for too long. Hilary also has been in politics most of her life and I don't believe Bill would have ever made it into the presidency without Hilary. She has had political aspirations all of her life before she even met Bill. Have you read the biography of Hilary? Yes she is qualified and I support her. And yes a lot of the reason is because shes a woman the good ole boy club has been running this country long enough, it's time for the good ole girls to get a try at it.

Thank you Seahorse! Although I understand where you're coming from, I must share that I bow down to no man! Nor has any man ever demonstrated an expectation for me to do so. The reason for this is that I treat all with the respect that I myself expect. I am very involved with local and state-wide politics, in a position of respect and some degree of power. And, I can attest to the fact that there is no war between the genders in the political arena. The war is in the arena of ideas, and intentions. I would never dream of dissuading you from your choice of candidates. I would however caution you that your statement: " And yes a lot of the reason is because shes a woman..." ... represents the very sexist ideals that you espouse to contest. How would you react if you heard a man proclaim that he would only vote for a male candidate? Wouldn't you call him a sexist pig? I would hope that 'us gals' would rise above the temptation to fall into that sexist trap.

Absolutely, it is a pet peeve of mine too. I would hope that more women would open their eyes to this recent display of the sexist male in Washington D.C. and unite to try and combat it. Men have had the political power to run this country for far too long. You would think that most people would want a change considering the current state of our country. Men have had their turn, let us have ours. On another note. It seems that some that are against certain politicians just mimic what they hear in the media made by other politicians. If you think one candidate is "flip flopping". Do your research and don't just mimic. I bet most have changed their minds on one issue or another. I mean if they are human and can think for themselves, they may have. I change my mind about instances, doesn't everyone? Guess what? the world did not end, and I am still here. I would think if you NEVER change your mind on an issue, then you would be pretty narrow minded. That is just MY opinion :)

To both of you... look up. Not only that, the country is more in control of power groups, lobby groups, and whoever can buy the most politicians. Happens with both pseudo parties. As for trying to reduce it to "sexism" terms, I'm angry that everyone's being lumped into that. Did it ever occur to anyone that people notice things and have genuine questions/concerns about a politician despite race, age, gender, affiliation? I always question what politicans and government is doing, especially after looking at how much "FAIL" the government has been the past few decades. "I know I'm tired of being disrespected just because I don't have something hanging between my legs."-[/quote] Just as I'm tired of being disrespected because I have some extra part. Its me along with plenty of other guys and I've got some horror stories thanks to how warped things are (unfair divorce, false abuse claims, assumed/automatic guilt whether they did something wrong or not). I know there are plenty more that I don't know about and others that go unreported. And before anyone tries it I'm well aware some women get abused and treated poorly too. I'm just trying to bring to attention, that its happening on both ends of the spectrum. Society and plenty of empty headed politicians don't acknowledge the argument though (hmph, some even profit from the devolving status quo). I don't know. I'm running out of steam. I'm starting to feel its pointless to even argue or point out a different perspective. Doesn't seem like anyone cares or worst yet only I could be subject to a driveby, someone just taking one or two things I say and warping the entire thing into something completely different. I'm also exhausted too, I'm out.

I agree with you about giving people the chance to change their minds about and issue. If we need a robot running the country we'd be voting for them and not people.

Hello Progamer, You'll get no flame attack from me. You're entitled to your observations, and opinions, just as the rest of us are. I believe this forum is predominently women. Yet, from many of the discussions I've seen, many of us 'galfolk' have seen the inequities males can face in today's world. Even a few decades ago, one would never have seen the large-scale abuse of authority as witnessed today as: female teachers molesting their students-- male & female. For me personally, there is no greater breach of trust than that. Without doubt, we as a whole society should be exploring what sociological shifts are responsible for such a dramatic change. Clearly, this trend is not acceptable. I've seen many MyLot discussions about ex-wives, and wholesale demonstrations of behaviors that fall under the classification of "Malicious Mom Syndrome". Which incidentally, is a legitimate psychological phenomenon being argued in Family Court Houses across the country. So, although I would argue that your point is not without merit, I believe it is ultimately more helpful to recognize that abusers come in all shapes, sizes, and genders. Comparatively speaking, neither is worse than the other. In fact, all abusers ... suck! All the more reason to educate the 'victim mentality' out of our citizens, especially our children. If we teach all of our citizens to be strong AND honorable, then abusers will increasingly find it more difficult to seek out those who don't have the confidence and abilities to stand firm, and resolute when confronting a bully -- whether that bully is on the school yard, or in the marriage.

http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1287618.aspx There's a mylot discussion on if people will vote for her. You aren't alone Seahorse. Meanwhile, there's plenty of times I feel alone, especially in political or male cases. Excuse me while I raise my anti-flamming shield. Later and have a good night.

Luna, that post was Legendary! It needs bright gold text and bold. If only we could have such a command on mylot.

Thank you, as I said in a previous post I don't care what her views are on whether an illegal alien has a drivers license I care that she supports the rights of women and children.

I am glad to hear it we really need a woman president

Like I said in an earlier post it's time for a change it's time women receive the respect they deserve and not be taken for granted. I also didn't vote for Bush because I'm tired of war.

I hope she wins it's time for a woman and she did a good job last time she was president.

Yes, I think along with her being the best (man) for the job it will lend more credibility as a whole to women. I mean don't you get tired of being patronized and have your opinions disregarded because you lack a protruding body part? I think women American women in general would benefit from a woman being in office.

I understand what you are saying I know she has our best interests at heat and I will applaud the day when she makes it into the presidency.

Thank you for your input and opinion.

I hope she will be the future president of U.S.A. bye Annaclaudia
