I am sick of being called "sweetie" and the sexiest remarks I have had to put up with for 56 years as a professional. My company does not think there is anything wrong with nor do they include sexiest curse words as part of the Rules and Ammended Rules at work.
It is time to make as big, if not bigger, issue than the Imus racist remarks. Sexiest comments will not be tolerated by Chris Matthews, Obama, or any news media.
It is time to make the news media realize WOMEN matter.
Hoorah for Kimberly Myers and Cynthia Ruccia. I am ready to vote for a different party and the Democrats running things can lose my loyalty.
Anyone get a response from Howard Dean or does he blow off every woman when they address the issue as not counting the votes in MI and FL? He doesn't think we matter, well he will certainly see in November want he?
Time for action....
I am a male and I was not that big a Hillary supporter to start with. But seeing the way she has been treated, I am in full support of her now. It is now not about her but about how the democratic party which has for years supported woman, has NOT treated Hillary as a regular candidate but as a WOMAN candidate. They have shown the same despicable traits towards women that they are supposed to oppose.
Last week, I re-registered as an Independent.
I am sick of the way the DNC has run this primary.
I hate it that FL amd MI voters will not have a real voice in the selection process.
I hate the way the DNC has turned their backs on the Clintons.
I hate the deafening silence from the DNC each time Hillary is disrespected by MSNBC commentators Matthews and Olbermann.
I've had enough! Good luck to all of us in having an impact.
Hillary Clinton is the mose electable candidate in this primary and she is being ignored.
The DNC elite need to take notice that this race is unfair and Americans will not stand for their so called politican of choice.
HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT !
I am a left-out FL voter. Not only has the DNC shown how little they care about our vote, but our opinion as a whole. Last month, I changed my voter registration to Independent to voice my opinion of how I feel about the DNC. I am 63 years old, I've been a Democrat all my life...no more! I have been totally disgusted with the media coverage of Hillary, with the exception of the only breath of fresh air I could find...Fox. Boy was I surprised. I am quite sure that the biased coverage of CNN, MSNBC and others have swayed the votes of many Americans who thought that they could trust their coverage. They should be ashamed of themselves. There has been nothing fair or unbiased out of their mouths with the exception of Lou Dobbs on CNN. I have expressed my opinion that Hillary should dump the Dems and run as an Independent: it would serve them right. I will not change my mind in Nov. as the DNC seems to believe, it's Hillary or I will vote for John McCain.
Cindy,
I understand how you feel but at least my state's vote counted--wrong way but its illegal to sway voters inside voting area. I wanted to!
I've been a life long democrat also and Hillary's coverage is very disturbing. I feel the Dem Elite are pushing Obama in and that the press is with them. It's
disgusting!
I've heard that the Republicans have a tape on the Obamas that they won't release till after Obama wins...They don't want to go up against Hillary!
Such a shame The Dems have no guts to face the racial fallout from Obama supporters and The Reps are scared of her so they hold info back. Doesn't anyone but Hillary care about this country?
I'm still in it for her! Dont watch MSNBC on Tuesday!
Anyone interested should e-mail their Democratic Senator and advise them that women have a voice. Advise them if your intent is to change parties..It's all about votes to them....
I AM A OBAMA SUPPORTER AND PROUD TO SAY IT. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND YES WE DID NOT GET TO VOTE BUT WE WERE TOLD WE DID NOT HAVE TO VOTE...SO GET IT RIGHT.
IT LOOK LIKE SEGREGATION IS WHAT YOU ARE ASKING FOR BUT I WILL NOT BE A PART OF IT.
I AM NOT SURE WHAT CHANNEL YOU WATCH BUT I WORK FROM HOME AND WATCH THE ELECTIONS ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT...AND THE ONE THAT HAS BEEN TREATED WELL IS HILLARY. OBAMA HAS BEEN THE TALK OF THE MEDIA IN EVERY WAY.
HILLARY WAS THE ONE THAT CHOSE TO BE UNTRUTHFUL AND SHE PLANNED TO TAKE THE NOMINEE TOO SOON...IT WAS HER NOT PLANNING A GOOD CAMPAIGN...HER NOT FOCUSING ON THE FOUNDATION OF HER CAMPAIGN....
FAIR IS SQUARE...WHILE YOU TALK SEXIST I SAY RACIST....IS IT BECAUSE HE IS A BLACK MAN?? WELL THE BLACK MAN IS MORE TRUTHFUL AND HAS WHAT IT TAKES TO BE PRESIDENT.
It is unbelievable that a candidates spouse (Bill Clinton) can use a racial slur (Nigger) on a hot mic at an NPR radio station (and immediately ask if he is going to get into trouble for saying it), and it gets less than 10-15 seconds of commentary the day of an primary election and the next day.
Chris Matthews barely even mentioned it, and sluffed it off. It was only played on TV once yesterday while I watched 8-9 hours of coverage throughout the day of the primary election.
Obama used the word bitter in a description of the people in PA, and it gets talked about and played over and over for weeks, and was covered far too much during the debate.
Why is the media starting to circle the wagons around the last white candidate?
It is starting to look like MSNBC ever since the pimping out Chelsea Clinton remark by one of their commentators has been turning the debate towards Clinton topics, and over emphasizing the seemingly negatives of Obama?
Any other candidates spouse used that racial slur and it is Huge news, certainly bringing about calls for apology's and explanations and such from that spouse and the candidate. Why is the Clinton campaign being given a pass on this very important issue of race in this nation?
To me, this is a intimate look into what the Clinton's are like when the camera's and mic's aren't on. Someone needs to bring this issue into the light of day that it NEEDS to be brought into.
UNANSWERED
QUESTIONS
FOR HILLARY CLINTON
Now that Hillary Clinton is an official candidate for President of the United States, the American people will take a long, hard look at her record. And any discussion of Hillary Clinton’s record begins and ends with her crimes and ethical transgressions.
Judicial Watch, of course, has been pursuing both Hillary and Bill Clinton since its inception, launching numerous investigations and lawsuits. However, despite clear evidence of Clinton corruption, so many questions remain unanswered.
If Judicial Watch were given an opportunity to interview Hillary Clinton, here are the ten (plus) questions we would ask first:
Who in the Clinton administration devised the plan to sell taxpayer-financed trade missions in exchange for campaign contributions to the Clinton-Gore 1996 re-election campaign?
Sworn testimony from Nolanda Hill, partner and confidante of the late Clinton Commerce Secretary Ron Brown, points to you as mastermind of the scheme.
Why did you give “factually false” testimony under oath in the investigation of the White House Travel Office firings, as former Independent Counsel Robert Ray stated in his final report.
Ray said his office found “overwhelming evidence” you played a role in the dismissals of the seven longtime employees in the White House travel office, which you denied under oath.
Who hired former bar bouncer Craig Livingstone and ordered him to illegally obtain for the Clinton administration the FBI files of former staffers in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H. W. Bush?
Sworn testimony and at least one FBI docment shows you hired Livingstone.
Why did you fail to report more than $2 million in contributions to your Senate 2000 campaign?
Testimony from the criminal investigation and trial of your National Finance Director, David Rosen, shows you knew the total costs of the fundraiser, yet failed to accurately report them.
Your brothers Anthony and Hugh Rodham allegedly brokered cash deals to obtain presidential pardons from your husband on behalf of convicted criminals. Were you aware they were each paid large sums to obtain these pardons?
Did you play any role in any of the 140 presidential pardons provided by Bill Clinton in the waning days of his administration, bypassing the normal pardon review process? How about the pardons of the Puerto Rican terrorists in the run-up to your first Senate campaign? Did you have any input on those?
Did you or your lawyers hire private detectives to investigate and intimidate critics of the Clinton administration?
What did you instruct James Carville and George Stephanopoulos to say in order to discredit and defame Gennifer Flowers, a woman with whom your husband had an affair?
Evidence suggests they smeared her at your behest. Did you play any role in smearing and defaming other women sexually and otherwise abused by your husband, including, but not limited to: Kathleen Willey, Paula Jones, Dolly Kyle Browning, and Juanita Broaddrick ?
Records from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange reveal that you turned a $1,000 investment in cattle futures in 1978 into to more than $100,000 in ten months… a return of 10,000%. How did you earn such an astronomical, and unbelievable, return on this investment?
How much money does Bill Clinton earn from his relationship with Ron Burkle, a contributor to your Senate campaigns, and Burkle’s company, Yucaipa?
Are these funds currently available in bank accounts to which you have access? Will you use these funds for your campaign? How about Bill’s speaking fees, some paid for by foreign interests and governments – what are the financial benefits to you?
How do you explain the mysterious disappearance of your Whitewater billing records from the office of Vince Foster, the former Rose Law Firm partner and Clinton White House counsel who allegedly committed suicide in 1993?
How do you explain the mysterious reappearance of those same records in the White House with your fingerprints on them?
Stopping at ten questions is hard to do. We could ask about her illegal White House fundraising coffees, doing business with the State of Arkansas while her husband was governor, Web Hubbell, John Huang, Chinese generals, the Lippo Group, and paid sleepovers in the Lincoln Bedroom.
These questions are important and relevant as the American people weigh Hillary’s candidacy. We deserve some honest answers.
Obama talks very good of Clinton..but when you listen to her she is always talking him down. She also even puts McCain before Obama....as far as i see it, she is running like a Republican.
She has said she would do anything to win..and that is what is happening even with segregation..using sexist. I do not buy it. People have followed the campaign and if there is anything it is RACIST.
Regarding Ingrids comments...blah, blah, blah here we go again. This has been hash and rehashed over and over..get over it! Typical defensive tactics Obama or McCain supporters start spurting the very minute someone sticks up for the Clintons. But the truth of the matter is that Hillary has been treated very unfairly, and with outrageous sexism by both the media and Obama!
Ingrid I am so happy that you are an Obama supporter, but the rest of the world is behind the most electable candidate Hillary Clinton. She is the only one that is electable. Obama can not win. The thousands of people I talk to will vote for McCain over Obama. He is so far left and radical. He has views of anti-Americanism, hater of Jews, Italians, Catholics, etc. He is who his friends are. I have been told this since a child and have told my children the same thing. Obama can say all he wants that he wasn't aware of Pastor Wright's comments, but you would have to be pretty stupid if after 20 years you didn't read the trumpet their newsletter, or hear the comments from other parishioners. His wife proved to me that she is on board with the views of Wright when she said "This is the first time I have been proud to be an American". I am not stupid, nor are the American people, and we do not believe the rhetoric Obama preaches. Obama is an empty suit, and was never vetted, or they just kept everything negative about him under the rug. Imagine he wants to meet with terrorists. Now that is a man with bad judgement.
You say racist -- I agree. Obama and his pastor started the racist comments with the KKKUSA, hating whites.
No one has ever said anything about Obama's race. If the shoe was on the other foot and Hillary went to an all white church that preached white power you can bet your bottom dollar this would be a big issue.
I firmly believe that Hillary has the experience, the policies and the solutions for this country, and she is more electable then Obama.
I will do everything in my power to get Obama off the ticket, because this man doesn't have a clue how to run the country, let alone his own state of Illinois. Ask a few people from Chicago how he has done absolutely nothing for their State.
MSNBC, NBC have treated Hillary with absolutely no respect. During one of the debates Brian Williams talked down to Hillary and they tried to stump her on questions, but you can't stump Hillary she is too smart. The fact that she was always asked the first question was wrong, because Obama just mimicked her answers, because he didn't have a good answer. I mean it is so evident that this man doesn't have a clue.
Everyone talks about "Change". This "Change" bs is empty rhetoric, and only the young who have no life experiences, and the weak minded are taken in by this.
Hillary should be our next President.
Have you heard the latest? A UN Ambassador from another country is coming to the US to determine whether or not the US is a racist country. I wonder who asked the UN for this determination and who it might help politically. Talk about underhanded politics.
Why don't they do a survey to see if this country is sexist. How many women in America are still mistreated? How many women still do the same jobs and better as the men of this world and receive a wage far less their counterpart of the masculine gender.
This political process has just gotten out of control.
If you think Obama is a "NEW KIND OF POLITICIAN" how misinformed are you. He will use anything he can to get this nomination and this election. He is making himself look worse and worse. My first instincts were right this man can not be allowed to be President of our wonderful country. It has nothing to do with the color of his skin, but he has everything to do with his views and his underhanded tatics. He lies about everything, and I mean lies about serious things.
Be afraid of Obama, be very agraid.
Ingrid why are you blogging on this site? Why don't you go to another site that holds your views. I don't go to Obama's blog sites, and bash Obama.
The Obama supporters are just like Obama - unethical. This site was set up for women that support Hillary. Go support Obama.
Everyone in Florida was urged to vote by the Florida Democratic Party. It was on the news and in all of the newspapers. There was a very important tax issue on the ballot also which everyone should have voted on. They had a record turn out in Florida. If you did not vote in Florida, either you did not care about saving money on your taxes or rent, or you were oblivious to the whole thing? Do these people just listen to the MSM? (CNN, MSNBC,Foxnews, ABCnews,etc) I am not sure who would have informed them to stay home and not vote. Why would anyone think that is wise?
Ingrid -- What do you hope to accomplish by coming to this site and bashing Hillary Clinton? Do you think you will change anyone's mind here? More likely, you will make us more determined to vote for McCain if Obama wins the nomination.
People like you are a large part of the reason that people like us will not vote for Obama. Rather than singing Obama's praises, all Obama supporters ever do is trash Hillary using lies and innuendo.
Then, you insinuate we're not voting for Obama because he's black!
He has the most liberal voting record in the senate, only 2 years on the national stage (as a junior senator), and associations with radicals and staff and supporters who never miss an opportunity to trash Hillary. But, of course, none of those could possibly play into our decision not to vote for Obama -- it HAS to be because we're racists.
DH -- Some people will say anything to validate whatever stance they're taking.
I am a FL resident whose vote in the primary will not count. What a disgrace! How un-American! Have been a DEM, but am totally disgused at the party's sexism and attempt to twart the election toward Obama being the candidate. Yes, the DNC (Howard Dean et al) had decided many months ago who they wanted as the candidate, and have done everything in their power to push Hillary aside. Now, we are left with Obama in the spotlight. And that really scares me! If you think Bush made a mess of our country, just wait and see what Obama can do. He came out of the woodwork with no background or experience, not to mention the affiliations he has that are coming out when it may be too late to do anything about it. The terrorists have said they would bring the USA down from "within". What better way to make this happen?
I will change my party affiliation from DEM to INDEPENDENT, I will NOT vote in the general election unless Hillary is on the ballot, and the DEMS will need to change their ways before I will entertain that party ever again.
HILLARY is the only candidate that has the will, the smarts and the energy to change the course of our country.
Howard Dean and the "elite" DEM party leaders (Kennedy, Kerry, etc) are sexist MEN who are afraid for Hillary to be our candidate. Rather, they are backing and pushing for Obama to be the candidate so they can "control" him. Obama has no clue how to be President and they know it. Bush had no clue either, and look what that got us (with Cheney running things behind the scenes). I am a FL resident whose vote has not counted, who will be changing party affiliation to INDEPENDENT in light of what I see coming from the DNC. What they have done to undermine Hillary and try to force her out before everyone has voted is a total disgrace. The DNC elite are acting like a bunch of clowns.
HILLARY is the only candidate that has the knowledge and experience to unravel the mess Bush has put us in over the last 8 years.
Obama's affiliation with hate mongers, people affiliated with blowing up the pentagon, the 100,000,000 man march (James Farrakahn), Rev. Wright's anti-American sentiment/preachings, AND his wife Michele's non-proud adult live as an American, and last but not least, his link to a man on trial right now who manipulated a deal on the purchase of his home are all I need to back away from him.
Wow! Looks like we got attention. We really don't need OB supporters on this site.
Is everyone e-mailing their Senators?
I've looked at Oregon newspaper sites and they are pushing OB..
You can google: Oregon Newspapers politics to find all of them!
One more day!
Forgot to tell you, of course you can express your opinions also.
It may help Oregon voters decide to vote for the BEST candidate!
GO HILLARY!
Equally surprising as the ruling was the judge’s request to Hillary defense lawyer David Kendall to “say hello to his ( Judge Munoz”) friend Bill, also a partner in Kendall’s law firm”
The decision to shield Hillary Clinton from civil discovery for an additional seven months, thereby delaying a long postponed trial, was made by the judge on his own, without any request by Hillary or her lawyer to make the ruling. No discussion was permitted by Paul’s lawyer before the decision was made. Judge Munoz’ unilateral decision effectively saved the floundering campaign and hopes of Hillary Clinton to win her party’s Presidential nomination!
Had Senator Clinton be forced to testify under oath, as a material witness and beneficiary of the fraud that her husband is being sued for before the Democratic Convention, her remote chances for being nominated the party candidate would have been unquestionably destroyed.
Hillary has never publicly commented on the case in which she was a defendant from 2003-2006. Nor has Hillary ever commented on the videotaped phone call she made to Peter Paul the day he began spending more than $1 million for her Senate campaign, the false statements she made through Howard Wolfson to the Washington Post denying working with Paul or receiving any contributions from him, the sworn Declaration she made under oath where she refused to deny any of Paul’s allegations, the role her White House aide Kelly Craighead played in coordinating Paul’s expenditures and befirending Paul’s Japanese business partner during a White House visit and many other unanswered questions of illegal conduct.
The illegalities detailed in Paul’s civil complaint and FEC complaint caused Hillary’s finance director to be criminally indicted and tried in 2005 by the Department of Justice Office of Public Integrity (the same group that prosecuted Scooter Libby) for hiding the cost of a fundraiser paid for by Paul. Paul’s FEC allegations forced Hillary’s campaign to admit to the FEC in October, 2005, that it violated FEC reporting requirements by hiding more than $700,000 received from Paul that Hillary personally said she never received.
Hillary’s sworn deposition is expected to reveal numerous illegalities directed by Hillary, with Bill’s help, to win and keep her Senate seat and avoid being accountable to the law. The judge’s sua sponte decision to delay Hillary’s deposition until after the presidential election denies the public’s right to know what a presidential candidate and a former president have done to undermine the Rule of Law and the Constitution by corrupting the Department of Justice Office of Public Integrity and its very Chief, Noel Hillman, federal judge A Howard Matz appointed by Bill Clinton (who deceived the jury in the criminal trial of Hillary’s finance director by telling the jury that Hillary was not involved in any way) and the FEC itself which aided and abetted Hillary filing a fourth false FEC report in January, 2006 that omitted any reference to the $1.2 million contribution the FBI and DOJ swore Paul made.
The Department of Justice prosecutor in the May, 2005 criminal case stated that $1.2 million was personally contributed by Paul at the request of Bill Clinton as part of an employment deal for Clinton’s post White House rainmaking services and was confirmed by FBI Special Agent David Smith as explained by Dept of Justice Prosecutor Dan Schwaber (pages 55,57,72) during the criminal trial of Hillary’s finance director David Rosen in May 2005.
Hillary’s treasurer was later forced to admit filing the false FEC reports to hide more than $700,000 paid by Paul, and fined $35,000 (the only fine imposed on Hillary’s campaign) yet Hillary has never answered one question to the media or the courts about these charges!
In fact, Hillary’s sworn Declaration in response to Paul’s sworn allegations constituted a legal admission to Paul’s charges becauseHillary refused to deny any of the allegations!
Strangely, Hillary admitted to the Washington Post in August 2000 knowing that the fundraising event Paul produced and paid for in August, 2000 cost more than $1 million- yet Rosen was indicted on three counts of hiding this fact from Hillary’s campaign causing 3 false FEC reports to be filed!
The cover-up of the original felony violations of the federal election law committed by Hillary and Bill Clinton (they solicited and coordinated Paul’s $1 million plus contribution as a quid pro quo for Clinton’s post White House employment) have resulted in a corruption of every branch of the government by the Clinton’s- all in plain view of the public and with the collusion of the media and the government. Watergate seems insignificant in the breadth of its public corruption in comparison with what has become the mother of all coverups orchestrated by Hillary Clinton.
I just saw Cynthia Ruccia on Fox talking about the boycott tomorrow. Congratulations Cynthia on getting the message out. You go girl!
Ingrid, "Sweetie", it is NOT that he is black [or partly] - IT IS THAT OBAMA IS GREEN!!
-no resume
-little meaningful experience
-unamerican and unpatriotic
At least McCain is a patriot!
Clinton or McCain, your choice DNC.
aTypical White Woman Florida
I will attend a protest Obama rally in Orlando. How dare he come here after not allowing our votes to count AND AFTER REFUSING A REVOTE in Florida or MI> I will try to take some photos.
Is there a troll control mechanism for this site? Trolls take up energy and occupy space, and if you feed them they get fat, fat, fat.
My family has always been democrats. Many of us have been active in local politics with the democratic party. However, I am so appalled by what I have seen in this election that I cannot continue to be a member of this Party. There has been more insider trading here then could ever happen on Wallstreet. This delegate situation has been nothing more than a setup. These people vote for whoever they want. Who they are not mad at. Who is more politacally correct. Who is more male. Who will give their "people" money. Who will
give them jobs. Let's face it people, this has been the most racist, sexist primary in the history of this country. We were all asleep on just how bad relations are between the sexes, religions and races. I have to rethink everything I believe. Reverend Wright was probably the most honest person in the Obama camp. He never tried to hide the fact that he is a bigot and anti-American . Obama tries to fool everyone. Anyway, let's not allow our country to become an Obamanation for it will be the end of everything we know!

Obama Freakout Over Michelle Video: The Ticking “Whitey” Time Bomb
By Larry JohnsoncloseAuthor: Larry Johnson Name: Larry Johnson
Email: larry_johnson@earthlink.net
Site: http://NoQuarterUSA.net
Today, on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” Barack Obama lost his cool, calling names and making unspecified threats. Why? Ostensibly, it’s because the Tennessee Republican Party issued an Internet video featuring Michelle Obama saying she’s proud of being an American only because her husband is running for president. Well, yes, we all heard that awhile ago.
But the real reason for Obama’s extraordinary freakout is that he fears the release of the videotape, reported here, of Michelle Obama in the pulpit of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church railing against “whitey.” And we don’t mean Whitey Ford. Four Republican sources have told me that the tape exists. I’ve also been informed that Karl Rove and his allies have a copy of it and are using it to raise funds for independent expenditure groups. The tape, I’m told, will be disclosed as the GOP October Surprise. It’s a ticking time bomb.
And I’ve learned that a right-wing Republican billionaire has put a $1 million bounty on the video. He doesn’t want John McCain to win, like a number of conservatives, and thinks Obama is a pathetically weak candidate. The billionaire wants that video released now.
Obama, speaking on ABC’s “Good Morning America” showed fear through his name-calling: “If they think that they’re gonna try to make Michelle an issue in this campaign, they should be careful. Because, that I find unacceptable. … The notion that you start attacking my wife or my family — you know, Michelle is the most honest, the best person I know. She is one of the most caring people I know. She loves this country. And for them to try to distort or to play snippets of her remarks in ways that are unflattering to her I think is … just low class.”
Does Obama have a copy of the “whitey” video? We know that he knows that his wife knows. The video really does exist. If we have to wait until October to see it, Obama might explode before then from the tension.
