Viva Hillary Clinton!

Although she won Puerto Rico easily, Clinton seemed to be campaigning in an alternate reality, as hopes for the nomination slipped away.

    Col Sanders

    You see there's this thing called democracy: it means that people can say things you don't agree with and vote for people you don't want them to vote for and you can't (as another delusional person seems to think they have the power to do) have them thrown out of their jobs -poor Joan Walsh- or taken out behind a warehouse and shot. Not unless you're in the CIA,that is. Joan Walsh and any other person can say and think and write what they want. It seems that some other people think being a white man is a crime against humanity or cause to hide your identity in case you're outed. I really would think that the Democrats would say re Clinton, 'Here's a woman with the intelligence and the experience and the voter base that makes us a shoo in when the general election rolls around.' But no. That's too reasonable. Too logical. Instead they decide to go for the outside chance:so much more exciting! The fact that the Democratic party, like all political parties, is full of sexists -of both sexes- doesn't help. Like that woman who asked McCain, 'How do we stop the bitch?' I've seen it all before. In politics the ceiling is not a glass ceiling but a stainless steel one, with a concrete layer behind that, just in case some of the bitches actually get their hands on real power. God, they might even change things! People like Sanders are posted behind the concrete with an M-16 to pick those uppity cows off before they can do any harm to decent God fearing men and the marvellous, just society they've created. Men who know that a woman's place is prone and in the wrong, not in the White House.
