Voting for Hillary
I will be voting for Hillary Clinton. NOT because she is a women, but because I am a woman.
As a parent of two girls, I am disturbed by the erosion of respect we men and women need to show for each other. Boys who learn to swear and call girls hateful names…what do you think their values will be when they become men? Some will give up the name calling and resort to physical abuse.

Mothers and fathers need to take a look at what the foul comments used to attack Hillary Clinton are doing to our young people. In a time when violence against women and girls is at an all time high, we need to teach our daughters and sons to respect each other. We need to teach our daughters that it is NOT okay if some boy calls you a foul name or makes fun of you with hateful words. This is a precursor, is it not, to physical violence ? What is being shown on some web sites belongs in the gutter The standard for criticism has reached an all time low. Media enjoys good ratings, so any personal attack that will bring in the viewers they will use. Please stand up to the media, whether TV, radio, or newspapers that are showing a real bias and an ignorance of the violent, hateful rhetoric against Hillary. This is about hurting women…they are just using Hillary to vent. It isn’t Hillary that is the problem, rather , it is the people who are crawling out of the caves to spread the hate of the female gender. It is their own demons and fears that need to find a scapegoat, and guess what, ladies…they use girls and women to vent their brand of hate. BUT IT HAS TO STOP! .I don’t care if you vote for someone else, but as parents we need to set a better example on how to disagree agreeably. Stop the vitriolic rhetoric. It is truly an unchristian act and an unacceptable example to set for our youth. Moms, instill in your daughters a strong sense of self respect, There is a lot of garbage to mess them up, garbage that we did not see so often. Show them the Christian examples

What do you think Hillary calls Bill after Monica and others?
Hillary is an upper-middle-class suburban Chicago girl who would be _nothing_ more than a soulless corporate lawyer without Bill, whose philandering she tolerates as the price for power. If my father had done Monica in the Oval Office, all his clothes would be thrown on the South Lawn of the White House, and he'd be President from the Hay-Adams Hotel across the street.
Degrading women has been going on for millions of years!!Get OVER it! I am a woman and if someone insults me I smile and walk past and forget about it!! Teach your children that what is said is just a part of gworing up! Who cares what people say about Hilary? I will not vote for her!! People degrade men too! Grow up lady
Jane, no insult intended but to vote for Hillary because she is a woman(?) is just plain stupid, just as people voting for Obama because he is black. Really shows the intelligence level of way too many voters. This election will bring this Country down, just as Carter did because neither party is offering anyone worth a crap. Depressing. Where is a Reagen conservative when you need one? Someone that can make you feel good about your Country because of action, not because of a bunch of cheap slogans and worthless buzz words.
Dash...I did not say I would vote for Hillary because she is a woman but because I am. She HAS worked for children from the day she left law school.
Rf...You really have a low opinion of yourself to accept the status quo...who fought for us to have the right to vote, or to make choices about our bodies for ourselves? Come on rf, are you reducing Hillary to a blank screen on which you, like many women, project your own fears, failures, and fantasies.
Hillary is the most capable to be our next president. She has shown by her deeds, whether you like her or not. She acts not sermonize. Obama boasts about being chair of the Afghanistan committee. He hasn't even had a meeting on the issue. Check the major media news this AM and see the facts that he hasn't even shown up in the US Senate to vote on major issues that he now claims to champion. When Hillary questions his lact of performance, the media calls her the "B" word, or she sounds like a scoulding mother. Well, maybe we should all listen to our mothers, who have the experience and know how,and have been there and done that. If we want sermonizing. we can go to our faith. If we have faith in actions that will help the country, vote Hillary.
