This is in response to an op-ed written by James Carville and M. Penn , saying Hillary
can win 2008 Presidential election.
July 2, 2006
It is so clear to everyone I know. Especially all women. From young, first-time voters, just
beginning to understand their power in the voting booth, to my 78 year old stepmother--we
dislike Hillary Clinton and would never, never vote for her.
This is not because we are idealogues-most are registered democrats, many independents,a
few republicans. But, we all agree. We do not like Hillary. We do not hate her. We do not like
her. We believe she lives by "Do as I say, not as I do." We believe she is cold. We do not mistake this for strength. We believe she is living with many lies.
Most believe her senatorial work has merits. She is a strong defender of funding for terror
programs, especially her state, New York. But we loathe her support for all abortions, she
kows to special interests there and her "hate Bush" statements. We believe that has more to
do with Bush;s strengths and that in history, her husband will be known as a self-serving, low moral, intelligent man with no center or self-responsibility.
This was evident at Coretta Scott King's funeral. It became more about the Clintons than Mrs.
Kings' legacy.
Her eyes never smiled. She uses language to describe republicans as plantation owners.
Put your spin on why she can will- yes, maybe, within democratic circles, but not with redstate,
"red meat" average American women who know what their men are up to, who demand respect, who do not call people they disagree with evil. We believe in people who work hard,
own their own home and don't change their minds, depending on who they're talking to at the
time. We all thin it shows a lack of character that all of her adult life, until scandal drove up
her asking price, she never owned a home-lived in government or family housing. This is not
an example of an independent, vital woman. She just never seems happy. And this is why
most women will not vote for her. This is why most women do not like her.
Most of all, if you stay in a demeaning marriage only for power, what does that say?
