EDITOR’S NOTE: Sheri Tag is the host of the very popular No We Won’t on BlogTalkRadio. She called into The New Agenda’s radio show Monday night to share this list with us. It speaks volumes.
| Hillary | Sarah |
|---|---|
| Hillary is cold. | Sarah is hot. |
| No man would ever want to have sex with Hillary. | Men want to have sex with Sarah. |
| Men are afraid Hillary will castrate them. | Men don’t fear for their private parts around Sarah. |
| Hillary has too much Washington experience. | Sarah does not have enough Washington experience. |
| Hillary has too much baggage. | Sarah has no baggage. |
| Hillary was too wonkish. | Sarah’s a beauty queen. |
| Hillary craved power. | Sarah’s power is not earned. |
| Hillary’s old. | Sarah’s young. |
| Hillary wears a pantsuit. | Sarah wears skirts. |
Right on Sheri.
Women of this country – beware – your daughers and grand-daughters are watching!
Perfect, Sheri. Dead on.
You can’t win for losing when men keep you out for one reason or another. Too old, not old enough, too cute, not cute enough. Gee, how about checking in between the ears.
Hillary was the BEST CANDIDATE THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE A WOMAN. IF IT WERE NOT BUT FOR THE LATTER SHE WOULD BE OUR NOMINEE. SHE WAS THE ONLY CANDIDATE ‘EVER’ IN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED A ROLL CALL VOTE FOR PRESIDENT NOR FOR VP (WHICH SHE EARNED…BOTH).
I witnessed first hand what they did to hand him the nomination on May 31st 2008 in Washington D.C.!
This drilled down analysis is SPOT ON.
Senator Clinton was the best candidate for President in my lifetime (I am 39 years old) and the nomination was not a level playing field from the begining to the end (I too was in DC on 5/31/08). I am only sorry Senator Clinton did not run as an independent. I would have stood with her to the very end.
I am voting McCain Palin. Palin has more executive experience than the whole lot of senators running. Its disgraceful the way she and her family have been treated. The most recent T-Shirt episode is just another example of sexism to which no journalist or MSM talk show host condemned. Bros before Hos; Iron My Shirt; the list goes on….. What if someone wore a T-Shirt saying Obama is is a N*****…..or carred a sign, Shine my shoes. The outrage would go on for weeks, months.
I hate how they pretend that race is an issue in this election. It’s not.
I’ve been saying something to this effect all along. They’re desperate attempt to keep women in their place necessitates either painting the woman who doesn’t know her place as a bitch or a bimbo. No woman is ever allowed to be “just right” or a normal human being.
They hated Hillary FOR being as competent as she was. She has ALWAYS blazed the trail and that is exactly why they call her “polarizing” They call Obama “unifying” for the short time he has blazed HIS trail…
They allowed the cheating, the misogyny and the fraud of voters because she was who she was. They never could have done this had it been two men against each other.
What is worse is that MANY Of us waited for HER to carry our voices to the oval office. NOT some other woman, HER because of her life long record of carrying our voices and standing up for the things we cared about for so long.
It wasn’t about just being cheated and yet again passed over, it was the price we paid because of their dismissive attitude about what this meant. That stamp of approval on the hatred, the frauds…the out right saying that it means nothing when compared to the man with less qualifications needing to make HIS mark and we can wait yet again, and again. And then be vilified for not going along with it.
I was in Washington too on May 31 2008. I was also there as witness to the blatant woman hating fest in the media for months on end. I thought of a woman sitting at home with her abuser,…t.v. on…the way this would be used to rubber stamp his attitude over and over and over.
To hell with the democratic party…they’ve said to hell with me in the most harmful and disgusting manner.
