Sue me,
But dumb simple jocks with different colored socks, and grease monkeys, as well as other oddly assorted high school flunkies, are Clinton's sweet white workin' stiff creme, they're the ignorant constituency she's countin' on, they're the make up of her Uh-merican dream.
It was these ignorant, uneducated, dumb fuckin' rubes, who brought us Bush term, numero two, and who thought Iraq would be some kind of an heroic thing to do.
Only in your Hollywood fantasies folks.

What a missed opportunity...
I find it ironic that the calls for Hillary to depart the race seem softer today, less frantic. I heard some commentators speaking admiringly of her toughness, her determination to fight to the end. It would seem that people most wanted her to leave when it looked like she had a chance to win. I really hate the way the party treated her. Anyway, time to board the McCain for president bus...

@ CeliaInSF
You can overlook the point about language hypocrisy if you want but to pretend bitch and the n-word are the same thing is just bat-shit crazy.
Sigh. That is not what I argued at all. Go back and read my post. I am talking about sentence structure parallelism and not about the b-word being equal to the n-word in insult equivilency. Just for the sake of argument, what do you think is the worst sexist word?
If you think battering, raping and otherwise abusing women represents men's 'interests' again, that is bat-shit crazy. It's not about interests, its about criminal behavior.
It obviously represents the interests of a great many men. One in four women will be raped over a lifetime. One in three girls is sexually abused. One out of three women will endure domestic violence. One out one hundred girls will be sexually assaulted by her biological father. Of course these behaviors are criminal, but they are engaged in so much more often by men than by women that it is difficult to argue that there isn't something rather strange going on that makes aggression in men a problem that continues to impact women in a manner that it does not impact men. Sure men are victims of violence. Yes, boys victims of violence and sexual assault, but it isn't often women doing it when compared to men.
Yes, I know, it took society a long time to change attitudes and for some very basic things as these to be ackowledged as crimes - or crimes against a person an not property.
There is absolutely no evidence that this violence has decreased. As a matter of fact, when it comes to crimes against children, there is some evidence that it has increased.
But we're not there any more - we have arrived at least in the sense that all of those things are recognized as wrong.
No, we are still there. Also, do you think that people didn't think these things were wrong in the past? They did!
Do they still happen, yes, all too often! Maybe if we did worry about protecting men from crime and violence we could end that cycle...
I'll bite. How would you protect men against violence? When they are boys, prevention would help. Parents should not strike their children. Every woman in a relationship should understand that hitting is wrong (and a big mistake!), just as men should. However, once men become adults, it is difficult to change certain patterns of violence and sexual assault.

rape stats
okay, village smithie, where do your amazingly high rape statistics come from? Please understand that, as a husband of a wife, a father of daughters, and a grandfather of granddaughters, I fine rape almost as vile a crime as murder. If any of my family members were raped, I'd want to kill the perp myself, despite the fact I oppose the death penalty. But one in four? How is rape defined? Date rape? Drunk and changed your mind in the morning rape? Or brutal involuntary sex? I know that rape is so profoundly violating and repugnant that the victims often don't want to have anyone know what they've suffered. I get it. But, I've known hundreds and hundreds of women over my 61 years, and many of them very well- as friends, as lovers (in my single years, mercifully brief though they were), as colleagues. Only one ever shared her trauma with me- and she was a friend of my parents, a lifelong family friend. So, to assume your statistic true, one of four of all those women had experienced rape- real rape- and none of them, even the ones I knew intimately for years, with whom I shared, mutually, the deepest secrets of life, ever said a word. I ask this out of curiosity, not out of any attempt at confrontation. Enlighten me. I had no idea- none- that this vile event was so prevalent. Tell me. thanks, jeffersonian

Katetex and AKASmith
Emergency Crisis Clinic has been informed to keep a suicide watch on both of you. Looking at your copious compulsive obssessive letter writing, delusional superiority and condescending put downs, one would have to wonder if you two bitter girls have any life at all outside of shilling for Hillary Clinton and smearing Barack Obama with any cow dung you two can dirty your racist hands with. Have you not heard that Hillary has been soundly defeated? Attendants with white jackets are outside your door to put you in straight jackets to haul you out to the asylum because the truth would be too hard for you to digest.

Anyway, time to board the McCain for president bus...
And what a short bus it is, full of retards who used to support Hillary but are now throwing their support behind a candidate who opposes almost all of her policy positions. Good luck keeping abortion safe and legal!

"...shilling for Hillary Clinton and smearing Barack Obama with any cow dung you two can dirty your racist hands with..."
Sooo, what does the 'yeswecan' part stand for, anyway? Let me take a guess here: imprison and torture those who don't agree with Us when The One ascends the throne?
Do you have any idea how foolish that slogan sounds in light of what has come after? Turns out Orwell was right. He just got the date wrong.
