Whats So Wrong with choosing Hillary based on her Gender?

And I love Rice Pudding! LOL....good one!

Condolezza Rice club hooked up next to Martha Stewart, yes!! I don't want to give the impression that I am SOO in awe over Hillary Clinton and I have been finding her to continually allow Bill Clinton to be her spokesmodel distasteful and I wonder if she has the backbone without him assisting her, BUT I do thing the time is WELL DUE to get the BALL ROLLING!!! Here it is 2008 and woman still playing the homemaker role even with high paying jobs we suffer not being able to raise our kids efficiently because its either chooose your job or have someone replace you. I CANT stand that in the mans situation either and SOMEONE needs to say HEY someone needs to be raising these kids, not the daycare, or grandma, good quality time. Maybe we need to do like SPAIN and have a few hours each day where EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN but after ALL THIS TIME do you really think 3 hours would slow the racing minds of those constantly thinking about their jobs. Its a evil machine corporations have created. I think Martha Stewart is my idol because she is such a strong WOMAN, yes, she had a fall of character but I do believe she has redeemed herself and its so much more interesting NOW :) Oprah, yea, now thats a team. Anyways, my point being is that woman have ALOT TO GIVE TO THIS COUNTRY and not just raising kids but our instinct to give our kids the best life is CERTAINLY a great motivator for rightful lawmaking, not just money incentives for the lawmakers that never makes it back to the common man.

I don't dislike Condi Rice, in fact I think she has much more intelligence and integrity than either Bush or Cheney, but I question her qualification particularly after her post-9/11 comment that nobody would have guessed terrorists would use airliners as missiles when there had been a recent memo that said just that. I'll give her credit for having more diplomatic skills than anyone else in this current Administration. Annie

Well spoken! I didnt know how to respond, but I think you did a great job!

I do think you have better ground getting laws passed that will benefit woman if their is a woman president in office but I do know it is not that easy. I try to research my local representatives and those in surrounding states and encourage them to pass certain laws that acknowledge womans rights and these are the people who are gonna get it there. We just need to build this network NOW, I do not think that Hillary Clinton is going to be the answer and thats it, I think that is naive and goes into this instant gradification model all around us, BUT I do think we need to begin somewhere. I think it will take 10 woman presidents to get to where we need to be and really feel alot of hope when I see all the woman ambassadors and presidents being elected in Africa, maybe they have something to teach us in the future as far fetched as it may SEEM in their current status but Im an optimist with these things.

Good for you. You know your issues, you know what your candidate stands for. It sounds to me like you are voting for her for all the right reasons. I don't like her and I won't vote for her, but I'm glad you are voting for her based on knowledge rather than gender alone. I can assure you, some people are just voting for the "not Bush" candidate. I even had a guy come to my library once asking if Clinton or Obama were republicans. He than asked if republicans were the ones we wanted to get out of office. He had no idea who was what party or what either party or candidates stood for. He just wanted to vote for whoever wasn't a republican. It's voters like that who worry me.

Well most people don't bother to examine the issues. Most people think Obama brings change and Hillary brings experience. Now they don't know what kind of change he would bring, or what experience Hillary has beyond being married to the president, but that's what they've heard and what they base their votes on. Oddly enough I've heard very little from voters in the republican primaries. I've worked in libraries for the last four years so I get to hear voter's opinions all the time.

wow that is really sad that someone would actually be that clueless. I volunteered at my primary and precinct caucus. I asked people who they were voting for and why just to get an idea. I had a lot of time to stand around. Hillary supporters kept saying she has experience and added detail to support their choice, Obama supporters said because "this is history" and could offer nothing more. I was amazed that they dont even realize that every day is history, every new president is history, every minute is history. just amazing

Honestly, I do not know alot about Condi because of the fact that I, like you, was put off by her being partner in crime with Bush and Cheney but from what I have read in previous post I certainly will read up on her to see her previous experience. And, like you, I don't get it either, WHAT IS IT, that this country has with electing woman officials because we ARE different compared to other countries in that respect.
