(2,546 posts)The ANA is a Corporatist Political Organization just like all the rest... for Hillary! Meaningless BS from another "ESTABLISHMENT" outfit. I called the same woman here and spoke to her at the time... She could give no legitimate reason for endorsing my REPUBLICAN opponent other than she knows her and she works down the street. Just another "chit" being called in by Clinton Incorporated.

(36,392 posts)A shame that nurses would endorse a candidate who considers healthcare a commodity over one who considers healthcare a right. They reveal themselves as being more concerned with personality than policy.

You seem to be the only one playing the [butthurt male] gender card here.
