Well, I have lost all respect for her now. Hillary has not once blamed her loss solely on sexism. Sure sexism is one factor into her not winning (the biggest factor is Obama having Queen Oprah’s endorsement. That pretty much secured his win) but she never once said it was the reason she lost.

If Susan wants to spout off lies, let it be against people who know a thing or two about lies so she can roll with the right crowd. But Hillary is about listening to the truth of what people want-affordable health care, better schools, less crime, alternative sources of fuel, an end to the war in Iraq. Hillary listens to people who speak the truth as to where this country needs to head.

If McCain somehow wins (highly unlikely) and she moves to Italy or Canade, don’t let the door hit you on the way out. I won’t miss you after these lies of yours against a true hero for women.

Hillary lost because she seemed less likeable as the campaign went on and her husband undermined her with his Alpha Male personality. Could you imagine Obama trying to get any work done while dealing with that ego package? No wonder he didn’t tap her for VP.

Susan,

Why would anyone care what you have to say regarding Senator Clinton. You can’r\t hold a candle to her. Go make a movie and this time a good one. Your best when you are reading prepared lines for you. You fairweather Hillary supporter.

Here’s a link regarding sexism and the Democratic Primaries:

Is sexism so widely accepted in this socially backward country that women just take it without even realizing it?
Is the following acceptable from ANYONE? Where’s the outrage?:

“Why is Chelsea Clinton so ugly?” [John]McCain asked guests at a Senate Republican fundraiser in 1998, when Clinton was 18. “Because her father is Janet Reno,” the Clinton administration’s attorney general. McCain “formally apologized” to President Bill Clinton, the Arizona Republic reported then.

Here’s the link to the entire article:

Susan Sarandon thinks clean coal and nuclear energy are righteous energy alternatives?? Cause that’s what Obama and McCain are both pushing. I know she’s liberal but that isn’t a guarantee of green living, after all lots of liberals and liberal celebrities have mcmansions and drive SUVs without a blink of an eye. It seems hypocritical of a green website to be pushing Obama – he, as everyone can see, is the same old same old, repackaged. You should be supporting Nader or or the Green Party/Cynthia McKinney. They are the only candidates that aren’t run by corporations.
Another thing, Hilary Clinton is great. And statistically speaking, according to Johns Hopkins, sexism had everything to do with her not getting the nomination.
I prefer getting my information from reputable sources.

Say Amen for Sarandon! Hillary needs to stop making pouting about a failed campaign strategy (directed by men) and get out and forcefully support Obama, if she is truely interested in promoting the causes she claims to care about! What did Hillary mean by stating that Palin would add an “important new voice” to the debate! Palin is a right-wing politician who would turn back the clock on choice, gun control, and separation of church and state. Can you imagine the Supreme Court appointees??? No Palin, No way! Say it loud and say it proud, Hillary!!!

Hey Susan, here’s an idea: why not go after Sarah Palin rather than someone on our side? Idiot.

Hillary lost because she and her short-sighted campaign failed to compete in the caucus states. Obama built up an insurmountable electoral college lead by March, long before her campaign woke up. I was offended by intimations made by some women that the Obama campaign was “stealing” the election from her. With the majority of voters being women, and the biggest single group of voters being white woman, it’s ludicrous to say that sexism was a major factor in her loss. There definitely was SOME sexism, but she was savvy enough to turn it to her advantage, rather than the other way around.

So.. wait, is that just hyperbole? Or are Ellie (and maybe Stephanie) really hoping for Obama to lose? Were you Hillary fans because of Hillary – or because of the issues?

If this is really the case (and I have a hard time believing that it is), then I hope your righteous indignation will be enough to comfort the rest of us when the party that chants “drill! drill! drill!” wins another 4 years in the White House.
