Dem Women Against Obama on TV
Was half-listening to the TV as I worked this PM and suddenly there was a spokeswoman for a group of which I hadn't heard before. She was pissed. She said that she is one of many Dem women who will not only not vote for Obama if he is the nominee but will actively work to elect McCain. Does anyone have any further info on these women?

1. That's shameful.
If they're Hillary supporters they certainly are at odds with McCain's policies -- as Hillary is. If they were in agreement with his views, they'd be supporting him now -- not supporting Hillary.


What would be the purpose of supporting him other than being sore losers?

2. I wish they would quit calling themselves Democrats, cause there is no...
way in hell that they are if they are voting for McCain.

7. I AM DEMOCRATIC - BEEN SINCE 1964
and have been since it became fashionable before they started
calling us DEMOCRATS and AFRICAN AMERICAN. So let me be clear
- I AM A BLACK FEMALE born in 1946 and couldn't voted until
civil rights act. Listen or read (what ever you wish). Oh by
the way - fought to vote - was hosed, bitten by dogs and was
jailed in Nashville, TN as a student in a sit-in. I WILL NOT
VOTE FOR OBAMA; SURE HELL WON'T VOTE FOR MCCAIN - WILL NEVER
VOTE AGAIN.

I VOTE ISSUES - NOT RHETORIC.... Been here too long and fought
too hard. Obama has young African Americans calling us older
Blacks uncle Toms - He doesn't want nor need my vote and
neither does the DNC.

3. I hope they're happy when McCain appoints enough judges to
overturn Roe v Wade. Who knows? Maybe they'll even go after Griswald - the ones we have now already (pretty much) knocked down equal pay.

6. Overturn ROE VS WADE
Many of you Obama supporters backed Bush I & II - Now you
have the remnants of a Democrat (Obama) and want us older
women to believe the HYPE.  Go ahead - Overturn Roe VS Wade.
At least we voted for issues and carried out our ambitions -
vote for the Obamas - they don't care - why should we?

4. Probably the same caller that was on Thom Hartmans
show today. My first question to her would be "So, you have no problem with the 1,000,000 who will probably die in McSame's war with Iran?"

5. STOP THE SEXISM
I will not VOTE for Obama - have voted Democratic since 1964.
Will not vote for McCain. If Obama gets the nomination - will
never vote again. I am a Black (prefer not to be called
African American) and ashamed of my people for buying the
rhetoric and voting for race and not issues.

No We Won’t:  
    Sit idly by when we witness sexism
No We Won’t: 
    Put up with the DNC manipulating an election
No We Won’t: 
    Vote for a candidate doomed to lose
No We Won’t: 
    Let the media decide who our nominee is
No We Won’t:  
    Be marginalized
No We Won’t: 
    Give the media a pass on it’s biased coverage
No We Won’t: 
    Be part of a party that takes us for granted
No We Won’t, No We Won’t, No We Won’t
