Women Threaten Obama Boycott
ABC News Blog ^ | 5/15/2005 | Rick Klein

Posted on 05/15/2008 4:37:56 PM PDT by keepitreal

I've posted a few times in the last two days about female supporters of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton who are angry -- at the Democratic Party, at the Obama campaign, or at the general situation that sees their candidate facing tough times, in their view, in part because of sexism.

Just talked to a 55-year-old Columbus, Ohio resident named Cynthia Ruccia, a spokesperson and organizer for a group calling itself "Clinton Supporters Count Too." She said the group -- numbering in the hundreds, and organized in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Michigan -- stands ready to boycott the Democratic Party if Clinton doesn't win the nomination, and will work against superdelegates who support Obama over Clinton as a means of registering their displeasure with the party.

"We have a plan to campaign against the Democratic nominee," the group said in a press release Thursday. "We have the (wo)manpower and the money to make our threat real. And there are millions of supporters who will back us up in the swing states. If you don’t listen to our voice now, you will hear from us later."

I heard a Hitlery suporter call Sean Hannity and she was very disgusted with the Democrats and the MSM. She said they are getting organized to vote for McCain and there were a lot of them. She was very frank and honest with Sean. She said Obama was not a real American, he has very flawed character, etc.

"We have a plan to campaign against the Democratic nominee,"

They know a McCain victory in '08 keeps Hillary's chances alive for '12, and an Obama win in '08 effectively ends her Presidential chances for all time. ...unless she's his VP, of course. Then anything can happen.

Members of Operation Chaos?

Do they join us or do we join them.

I was thinking of “crossing over” and voting for McCain myself!

No sarcasm tag since it is so very near the truth!

Because rules are meant to be broken in dem circles, and there are no consequences for breaking rules.

Rush alluded to this the other day, and his point was well taken.

It is abundantly clear that Hillary is far more intelligent, experienced and capable than the so-called Harvard Wonder, whose frequent, embarrassing gaffes have many likening him to a Democratic Dan Quayle.

It would be hard for Democratic women not to see the party's preference for a singularly unqualified male candidate over a qualified female candidate as evidence of misogyny from the Left. I do wonder, though, how the numbers might have been different if the Jeremiah Wright story had broken at the beginning of the primary season.

I do believe that “qualified” in democrat terms is entirely different than qualified in Republican terms (or business terms for that matter).

Yes, it is a sad day when even the Left in this country has to look to a Hillary Clinton for political salvation from a COMPLETELY unqualified candidate like Barack Obama. I don’t envy the superdelegates.

Durr! We knew the score on Bill Clinton 16 years ago, and many Dems are just now admitting it. At least these gals may have a clue about Obama much earlier.

None of this matters. Look at what happened today over the Bush appeasement comments. All Democrats came together to defend Obama. The RATs will unite around B. Hussein this fall. The danger is real of a catastrophe on Nov 4th.

Heck, they don't need an election in order to be mad. Feminists are just mad all the time. Hillary's campaign just gives them another excuse to harp-out their inner bitches for public display and prime-time news coverage. It's the exciting "brought to you on tv" commercial break between box office hits.

All the big time media guys keep bouncing the American population between box office sales and "breaking news", keeping everyone amped up.

Long Hail the Angry Feminists for more Commercials about the exciting relief to be found in Newer Prescriptions of Anti-Constipatories.

Besides, everyone's getting tired of hearing about the Wonders of Her Relief via Viagra.. Somehow, it just doesn't fit the image of the Clinton's, does it...
