What Hillary Should Say Now (Patti Davis doesn't like Palin)
newsweek.com ^ | September 5, 2008 | Patti Davis

Posted on 09/06/2008 6:25:27 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Dear Hillary, Where are you? We haven't heard from you since your strong and eloquent speech at the Democratic National Convention. You might be taking a well-deserved vacation--certainly you must need one after all those arduous months campaigning. But we need to hear from you right now. We need your voice to speak for all the women (and there are many of us) who are angry at the assumption that, just because Sarah Palin is female, we will fall in line behind her. We need you to make clear that women do not automatically judge someone because of gender; we are more concerned with the quality of their character and the depth and breadth of their experience.

We do not see rudeness and snarkiness and sarcasm as admirable; in fact, most women teach their children not to treat others in that manner, and they tend to steer clear of adults who never learned that lesson.

What a load of crap. Dems really need to believe they are better than everybody else.

Someone needs to inform her that Hillary is praying for an Obama loss just as much as we Freepers are.

If you were dumb enough to follow Hillary in the first place, you probably lack the brains to follow Palin now.

“..who are angry at the assumption that, just because Sarah Palin is female, we will fall in line behind her..”

Whose assumption?

Certainly not that of the McCain campaign.

It appears Patti got her memo from the boys at Camp Obama and just forwarded it on to Newsweak after signing her name to it. She is going to make a very obedient, burqa wearing female for someone someday.

Hey PD, nobody wants YOUR vote. Sarah Palin was picked for conservatives, not for bitter, angry, and jealous women like you.

No one made any such assumption. Gov. Palin is a marvelous PERSON, Patti, that's why she's on this ticket.

How come black folk aren’t idignant over the expectation that they’ll fall in line behind Obama? It’s not because they are excited about righting historical injustices. Women were second-class before there was such a thing as a black person.

I just love the way people miss the point that just because Sarah is female we should or should not fall behind her.

We are behind her because she is a leader, dummies.

Uh, after all these years, Patti Davis doesn't understand the Clintons?

Patti, let me 'splain somethin' to ya.

The Clintons *always slither back under their rock after a big loss*. It's what they do. They don't want to be associated with the loss.

Don't worry, dear. The will come back out, when the time is right.

They will hold their noses and endorse messiah, because they know he will be easier to beat in 2012.

Got it, dear?

Where is Hilde in the fembots hour of need? Why, she is in the same place Obama was when he RAN OFFSTAGE during that “joint fundraiser” with Hilde, Obamao “forgot” to mention that his donors should donate to retire Hilde’s Campaign Debt.

So Obamao swipes the nomination from Hilde, then tries to sweep up her donors, then doesn’t try to help Hilde retire her debt, and she is the Obamao’s “Great Saviour”?

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you were concerned with "quality of character", then you'd never support Hillary. The libs are positively astonishing in their ability to be shallow.

What a condescending bit of elitist hogwash.

ATTENTION PATTI- CONSERVATIVE WOMEN HAVE BRAINS. EVIDENTALLY MORE THAN LIBERAL COMMENTATORS SUCH AS YOURSELF. THIS WOMAN IS VOTING FOR PALIN BECAUSE SHE IS THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB. PERIOD.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled desecration of your father’s memory.

Dear Person Davis,

You libs really do think quite a lot of yourselves, and you need to get over it.

Palin wasn't picked for you. Palin was picked for me and my wife: solid conservatives skeptical of John McCain. If, just by accident, she happens to get some low-hanging fruit among Dems who aren't totally committed abortionists, that's gravy.

We're not that into you.

As for Hillary, don't make me laugh. She's got other commitments, and that's no accident. She's building alliances for 2012. She couldn't care less what happens to Barack Obama. Given all the fund-raising she did for down ticket candidates in order to get their support for 2008, she feels abandoned and betrayed.

So, Hillary's not that into you either.

Imagine. Hillary and solid conservatives both agreeing that you're worthless. Ironic. Cool.

These people are so self-centered it kills me. Not everything is about them. I truly believe Palin was picked because of US. If he really wanted Hillary supporters I think he would have at least asked a pro-choice rep.

The GALS at PUMApac.org are calling your NAME!

Hillery has scorned OBAMA and means to take back the Dem party from George Soros Howard Dean, Obama and the Left Wing Fascist Dem Secretariat.

Get with PUMA Patti and help, or else there won't be a Dem. Party after this election.

Her father, the great Ronaldus Maximus, is
frowning profusely in his grave, but she
always wandered away from the glorious ideals
of her magnificent father, as does Ron.

You win some and you lose some. At least he
has one child in the mold .. a wonderful conservative
who shares his name, Michael Reagan.

Well Patty, Hillary is smarter than you are. She's after power and any sincere effort to putting The One into the White House works against her agenda. In addition going after another women that America loves is just plain stupid at this point.

So in short, expecting Hillary to sacrifice herself at the alter of The One is just plain stupid.

What a disappointment these biological children of Reagan must be to him. First Ron Jr. comes out with a piece today that says he is SURE that his dad would not be behind Palin. HA!!! What a crock. Pretty sad when the public knows your father better then you do. And now Patti. These two are an embarrassment. Thank God Michael gets it! He says Sarah is his dad in a dress!!!! Love it!!!

i am so confused... the media need to get it straight... and they can only pick one: did McCain choose Palin to shore up the base? or did her choose her to get the Hillary votes? personally, i think he chose her because she's a top-notch reformer...

I love these “feminists” who refer to “us” or “we women” as if every female on the planet shares their liberal elitist views. My wife would STRONGLY argue that Hillary is not exactly the STANDARD to which all red-blooded American women measure themselves.

I read a column on the NOW website and AGAIN I saw that blanket referral to WOMEN and WE. It railed against those who would “legislate our bodies” and “strip a woman’s right to choose”. Do they REALLY think that an entire HALF of the world’s population (what, 3 or 4 billion?) subscribes to their ideals (re: pro-abortion)?

I personally believe that they truly think that every woman, including my wife and Governor Palin should step in line. And, if they don’t follow the rules, then they can’t be members of the “club”. These women are every bit as narrow-minded as they accuse us on the Right of being.

Nice web page, by the way. I am Scots (on my dad's side)-Irish (on my mother's side), and my mother's father could speak some Gaelic. He was my hero, a WW I vet who fought in the trenches east of Paris. Dead now for about 15 years, he died at age 99. He was The Quiet Man.

His only failure is that he didn't write memoirs. He saw a lot, between horse and buggy and the Space Shuttle. He was too humble to think that was important.

The great Ronald Reagan was a man of accomplishment who was a famous actor, a governor, and a POTUS who helped liberate millions of people from communist oppression. He brought true hope and change. Sarah Palin is a woman of accomplishment who has attained political success by her own efforts. Patti Davis is exactly what?

Dear Patti Davis,

First off Hillary doesn’t need you to tell her what to say. Other than her pathological attachment to BJ Clinton, she seems to be her own woman. As much as I loathe her, I wouldn’t presume to tell her what she has to do. Hillary was betrayed by her own party in a very public fashion, I never thought I would feel sorry for her as she smells of corruption, but there it is I do feel sorry for her, she was betrayed. Some might see it as poetic justice, I don’t she doesn’t deserve to be brought to justice by people who are as bad or worse than she is. If someone can tie her to campaign fraud or Whitewater or stealing from the White House and make it stick, that is great she deserves that, but she doesn’t deserve to be dismissed when she has done everything in her power for the DNC and has been trying to rid the DNC of the influence of Soros et al. So get off your high horse, leave Hillary alone and let her do battle with the opposing party instead of dealing with the back stabbing DNC. Personally I wouldn’t shed a tear if Hillary was the one to take the DNC down.

I am sick and tired of your ilk saying that you are for choice when the reality is the only choice you want women to have is whether they have children or not. You sure aren’t for choice when it comes to schools, gun ownership, having a different opinion, or running for office, it is you and your ideological buddies that are setting the women’s movement back decades not the Republican Party.
