A Democratic donnybrook

The debate was rich in sound and fury, but did little lasting damage to unruffled frontrunner Barack Obama.

    There are lots of ways that civilians are victimized by war. Rape is one of those ways. Perhaps Clinton was including rape as victimization when she made that statement. Also, war uproots and makes refugees of probably more women and children than adult, fighting age males because it makes sense not to characterize participants in war a "victims."

    Quibbling about this however, does not disguise the fact that you really had to go hunting to make it out that Senator Clinton harms males.

    Also, I do not know why you attribute research in women's medical issues as the responsibility of Senator Clinton alone. Are you saying no male politicians have wanted to give research dollars to women's medical issues?

    Sorry, but you just have not made your case. You stated that Hillary Clinton as president would be bad for men.

    Not proven. Not even slightly supported.
