Lest anyone be lulled into complacency, the Elect Hillary Express is still rolling. I tuned in to Bill Press's show this morning just to see how he would weave Hillary into his program today. Bill has been a loyal footsoldier for Hillary's election and now leads the charge for her vice-presidential campaign. This morning he had an angry woman caller talking about how tirelessly women had worked to get Hillary elected. She declared that women who are supporting Obama have 'thrown their gender under the bus.' Bill Press declared that she was eloguently putting into words 'exactly how I feel.'
All these Hillary supporters are walking around wounded and feeling victimized and it is rather humourous. Hillary fired her entire artillery of racist and Muslim slurs and innuendoes on Obama to get elected. She declared him unfit to be commander in chief. She fanned the flames of white working class hatred and turned her female supporters on him. One even declared him to be 'an inadequate black male.' She questioned Obama's very manhood.
Hillary and her supporters had no ethical limits on what they were prepared to do to win. Hillary even tried to rewrite the nomination rules while her female sycophants looked the other way. Diane Feinstein said Hillary won the popular vote with a straight face on national television. Now these flame throwers are crying about victimization? It is patently ridiculous.
I would be happy to support a woman candidate for president if she had the best agenda for the country. Hillary did not lose because she is a woman. Many countries have elected female presidents and America will also elect one someday. But voters cannot elect someone just because of their gender. Toward the end of her campaign when Hillary had clearly lost on the issues her last remaining platform became feminism. The focus of any campaign must be the good of the country, not personal ambition and not gender equality. Elections are national campaigns, not feminist crusades.
