    If a female president is elected just because she's a woman but doesn't happen to be qualified (I do NOT think Clinton is unqualified, FTR), then that hurts women's rights. Male or female, everyone should be voting for the person whose platform best fits their own views (assuming they are telling the truth that is... in some cases right now that is not the case, and therefore people shouldn't be voting for them even if their so-called platform does fit their views).
    Declarations like Albright's also hurt women's rights. It's shit like that that keeps the MORONS of the world using terms like "feminazis" and thinking that feminists are their enemy. Of course, IDIOTS like that don't really deserve our attention either way, but unfortunately, those DUMBASSES actually still have the ability to influence other DOUCHEBAGS like them. :)

    I don't recognize any of that on George Carlin's 7 words. Funny.

    For sure! I would vote for Warren in a heartbeat. At the same time, I'm thankful that at least we do have her in congress where her efforts are huge and her impact is widespread.

    #ImNotKiddingMaddi trends as Hillary Clinton sends 'desperate' email asking for a dollar after New Hampshire vote

    A woman named Maddi has caused nation-wide mirth in the US after posting an email she says she received from Hillary Clinton online.
    In the email, Clinton (or her team) says: "After tonight's results roll in, keep this in mind: most of the country casts their primary ballots by the middle of March.
    "We absolutely, critically need to make sure Hillary comes out on top in the states that lie ahead.
    "I'm not kidding, Maddi, I'm asking you to give $1 right this second".

    Rupert Murdoch - "Hillary speech awful point after point. Eg, better education but against charters, rein in Wall St which she will never do, etc."

    regarding her New Hampshire concession speech.

    I do think her co-opting of Flint and the tragedy there is particularly shameless.

    The only problem I have with her is her vote for Monsanto. I expect someone like her of all people to be against them. I hope she changes her mind.

    You're right InHiding. And it was a Sanders bill fro GMO labeling. She had a change of mind the next day.

    http://downwithtyranny.blogspot.com/2013/05/gmo-no-one-is-perfect-not-even.html
    Senator Warren made a bad mistake. She joined 27 Democrats from across the political spectrum-- from good ones like Tammy Baldwin, Tom Harkin and Sherrod Brown to the careful careerists like Kirsten Gillibrand, Bob Casey, Debbie Stabenow, and Jeanne Shaheen all the way to the worst worthless trash in the Democratic caucus like Joe Donnelly, Mark Pryor and Max Baucus-- to vote down an amendment by Bernie Sanders to permit States to require that any food, beverage, or other edible product offered for sale have a label on indicating that the food, beverage, or other edible product contains a genetically engineered ingredient." Yep, only 26 Democrats plus Alaska Republican Lisa Murkowski supported a bill to deal with GMO foods.
    UPDATE: Elizabeth Warren Supports GMO-Labeling

    Her Press Secretary, Lacey Rose gave me this statement after the vote yesterday: "The Senator supports labeling and supports the rights of states to set labeling standards based on health and safety. She supports the purpose of the Sanders amendment but voted no because the proposal would have eliminated the ability of the FDA to force states to comply with a more pro-consumer standard in the future."

    Has anything been done yet? Something needs to be done NOW not a year from now.

    This is interesting. A personal letter from Warren to Pulitzer Winner Jane Smiley on Monsanto.

    Rachel Maddow brought it to my attention months ago and hasn't let up since. There are voices everywhere bringing attention to it, many trying to do something about it including the band we love, but in the end it will never be enough for those kids.

    That isn't my point though. Hillary Clinton went there as part of her campaign. That is shameless.

    Did you read the first post though? That first post about 2 prominant women attempting to shame young women to vote for Hillary is what's shaming. I feel that you are attempting to change the topic. Difference between two candidates... Bernie calls out supporters that make sexist comments, Hillary has them campaigning for her.

    Anyone working to get something done in Flint is far from shameless. However, helping in one area does not make one a saint especially if you're a politician. Everything done by a politician is for votes.

    You are right on your first point, this probably belongs in a different thread. On the second point...I don't think she would have been anywhere near Flint if not for this campaign and I do think it is shameless. I stand by that.

    Happy to pick the argument up in a more appropriate thread than this, though. :smile:
