Just because I'm a woman DOES NOT MEAN that I have a responsiblilty to vote for Hillary Clinton.

I am not only a woman, but a mother. I watched that woman raise her hand and say yes to bush's IWR for purely political reasons thinking that it would help her in the general election against the republicans, because she thought she already had the primary in the bag. She played a part in sending our kids into a war that was unnecessary and without the proper equipment to keep them safe! A war that also cost the lives of mothers and their children in Iraq.

Even after the fiasco that became the Iraq war, she still to date has yet to admit that she made a mistake. She then votes to give Bush the authority to attack Iran from inside Iraq. While in a presidential campaign, she took the time to stop campaigning for a last minute vote on Kyl/Lieberman, making a POINT of flying back on a rush to vote FOR a measure that could cost the lives of even more of our troops, not to mention innocent Iranians who are fighting to make things better in their own country without the "help" of the US.

My obligation, as a woman, is to vote for the BEST candidate. The one who represents my values and what I hold dear. I have made my choice based upon the EVIDENCE.

You and the organization you site, Guerilla women... are small minded and sexist. Your actions actually degrade women and attempt to deny them the opportunity to be intellectually honest.

I don't pick my candidate based upon anatomy. I pick my candidate based upon intellect, humanity, common sense and decency!!!! To do otherwise is a slap in the face to all women who have struggled to give us the right to vote, etc.
