Hillary's Donors

As an ardent Hillary supporter, I was a bit worried when I heard about her money woes on Wednesday. But then, on Thursday, while waiting in line to board my flight at La Guardia Airport, I overheard a conversation between three airline employees, two of whom were women [for simplicity's sake, let's call them Jane and Jenny], the other, a man [let's call him Jack]. The conversation went something like this:

Jack to Jane [in a menacing tone]: I told you to do so and so...why haven't you done it yet?

Jenny: Jack, you can't talk to her like that.

Jack: I can talk to her any way I want to.

Jenny: No you can't. I'll stick Hillary on you.

Jack: Yeah, well good luck with that. Hillary has no more money.

Jenny: Not if I can help it. I'm gonna donate $10 when I get home tonight.

Jane: Yeah, me too.

The line then began to move. I smiled to myself and boarded the plane. Hillary will be fine. Sure enough, when I got home, and surveyed the headlines, I was greeted with the news that the campaign had raised over $6 million in 72 hours.  I'm sure Jane and Jenny would be proud. They helped make it happen.

?

Its more about women being pissed that they get walked all over, whether you are working for an air line, or running for president, and people are pissed. Women AND men included.

How about this, your husband yells at you and you say "dont yell at me" and he says "I will yell at you whenever I want"

Are you telling me you will just back down?

Well, if you do, you are a sorry excuse of a Latina woman.  I know damned well that all the women in my family are proud of who they are, and it will be a cold day in hell before they get the smackdown by any of the men in my family.

Hillary did not cause divisiveness.  All she did was ask for money.  How is she divisive?

Honestly, I think Obama is the most divisive.  He has gotten people to support him by hating her.  His wife makes jokes about Hillary 'not being able to take care of her household.'  To me, that is truly divisive.

Women against men?  Give me a break.  Hillary has many male supporters, me included.  And we're as disgusted and pissed off by the misogyny constantly spewed at her by the media and by Obama fanatics.

I did hear complaints.. The resident polling expert here said that they were being immature.

Side note there has been a ton of sexism in the media toward Hillary and I think the grass roots explosion of support for her is awesome.  I think embarassing Chris Matthews and shuting up the pompous pundits at MSNBC is something everyone should be proud of...

Takes it a step too far when it is equated with the Obama campaign.

We have two good candidates, Hillary is not evil neither is Obama, sorry.
