Thank you Kathleen for your honesty whether women want to hear it or not. No I would not vote for a woman to be President just because she’s a woman qualified or not. That’s the problem. Sen. Clinton is the perfect example when this race began many of us were in her corner fully. When she got off track and begin to play the gender card rather than take responsibility for the mis-management of her campaign, implement “New Rules”, Implement New Goal Posts,” many of us got of the Hillary Express. Just because we are women does not men we get to change the rules and not be responsible for our own actions. Had Sen. Clinton stayed on message and not agreed to the rules relative to MI & FL and then changed her committment in writing and publicly when she fell behind in the race and start chanpioning these states when she clearly agreed to not count these state even on TV, invoked race, gender, media, well the rest is history. The lesson that all women must learn from this although most women would not have found themselves in this position because they would not have entered the race felling “entitled” is that Women must play by the rules as well as men. No matter what comes our way we cannot not get distracted from doing the right thing. We must maintain our integrity and other key attributes and qualities at all times and don’t let anyone get off message. Most important accept a loss graciously and not attempt to divide the country or your own party.

Cindy McCain’s husband is running for the highest office in the land. Yes it’s imperative that she release her tax returns. Not releasing them has nothing to do with protecting her kids, trusts and things of this nature are not revealed only what you are really worth. Sen. McCain said he would be transparent so to file separately when he is running for President to keep the public from knowing what his family is really worth is yet another example of him being a flip flopper and not honest in his converstations with the American people. Most important just as President Clinton was asked to release his contributors to the Clinton Foundation to let Americans know if there were any conflicts of interest where America is concerned. And there were. He has many affliations with foreign countries as we have seen China’s internet group on Censorship of their people , Columbia where he made $110 Million. These conflicts are important as they also determine probable expectation of favors will probably grant which clearly not in America’s best interest. We cannot not have our President’s beholding to foreing countries or any individuals that are not operating in America’s best interest. Cindy McCain must release her tax returns and Sen. McCain if fully aware of why this is so important. He said he would be fully transparent with the American people so it’s time he fessed up. If there are no conflicts, why is he running from full disclosure?

Sen. Clinton and her spouse are worth $110 Million certainly most capable of paying off their own debts. Why should hard working Americans send any money let alone $10, $5 or any money for that matter when these people are filty rich. Why on earth does she keep asking the public to get her out of debt when she has more than enough money to pay this bill. She is choosing to continue this race even though she is fully aware that the math is not and will not be in her favor. Let Sen. Clinton and President pay the bill. If Americans pay the bill they will just be that much richer. Personally I am offended when she ask hard working Americans to pay her bills.

Absolutely. However, we would hope that the next woman who runs for President does not feel the need to show she’s tough to compete with the men which is what we have seen in Sen. Clinton. The Iraq and Iran votes is postering. We also need a woman who maintains her intregity at all costs and one that will not use gender, the media or any other distraction rather take responsibility for their actions. There are millions of women who would make great Presidents, we just need to find one. Our current example did not pan out.

Sen. Clinton does not represent the “Best Women have to offer” as a Candidate. Playing by the rules is education 101 that we teach our children. When Sen. Clinton signed the pledge and agreed that FL and MI would not count and then changed her mind when the numbers did not go her way that was not a good example that any woman should follow. Integrity is a quality that women cannot afford to loose. Just because we are women does not mean closing our eyes and supporting a woman that is clearly wrong. Sen. Clinton is responsible for the campaign she ran and only her. It’s time she takes responsibility for what went wrong instead of implying that she is a champion for all women. No no not for millions of us. Playing by the rules is a fundamental expectation in this country. If you disagree with the rules then say it up front and don’t sign your name, make a commitment, come on TV and say loudly Fl & Mi does not count. Then when things don’t go your way say no they should count. This is not representation that women can afford or need. To invoke race when you and your husband have been champions of the Civil Rights movement and take it back when you back is against the wall is unacceptable. Too many women have worked tiredlessly, long, hard and with honor and intregity including playing by the rules. We ask that the rules not be changed that the goal posts are not moved when we achieve the goal. Unfortunately Sen. Clinton not only does not play by the rules she has moved the goal posts from elected delegates, to popular votes including those two states that she said did not count, to electorial college votes and who know what the goal will be on any given day. Women deserve better. Many of us were with the Sen. until she moved completely off message and began to demonstrate her inability to play by the rules. We are not victims and we have weathered this storm for many years and made significant progress. I can assure you that women who are CEO and have great positions did not get them by changing the rules. Let’s be fair and not let our gender make us get off message just because a woman runs for President who has clearly demonstrated that she want to and has tried to win no matter what the costs.

It’s unfortunate that we as women actually listen to the rhetoric of conquer and divide when it has been done to us so many times. It’s critical to stay informed, not only with media rhetoric but with major news papers and magazines to really get the truth and not spread rumors. When we do this we bring such dishonor to ourselves. If you simply don”t like a person don’t quote rumors to cover the real reason that you are not in support of a candidate. Rumors actually hurt people as all women are fully aware.

This race is not about a candidate it’s about the current adverse economic conditions of the American people and their families. Anyone who get side tracked for any other reason and refuse to acknowledge those suffering, in American at this time are just misguided. These races are never about the candidates as we have endured so many distractions over the years about being partisan rather than aout substance. For millions of us this is about our families and our pocket books not an individual, because the love of our families is just to important to listen to partisan politics.

Why are women supporting Sen. Clinton for breaking the rules? As women we do not honor ourselves by supporting any candidate who invokes race or gender into the race. many women have worked hard and long for the respect we deserve. When we become dishonest in our dealings with anyone we should not be supported. We have accused men of doing this to us, now when Sen. Clinton refuses to play by the rules we champion her? Each candidate has no doubt incurred race and gender in the race. Sen. Obama refuses to succumb and continually states Race is not an issue. Sen. Clinton and President Clinton parade Gender, we are not victims. Sen. Clinton is the reciepient of running a failed campaign which begins with her taking responsibility for her campaign. She signed a pledge stating that Fl & Mi would not count. Only when she got behing in the vote did she do a 180 degree trun and start saying these states were disenfranchised. As women we cannot afford to champion anyone including females who would choose to make a mockery of the system and use gender as a catalyst to make unfair gain in the system. Millions of us are for women rights, but when women are wrong they are wrong and Sen. Clinton is clearly wrong. Intregity is not a quality that any woman can afford to loose.
