You spoke up about racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia and classism but not sexism. It’s too late. More comments from women who won’t vote for Obama (emphases mine) below the numbers:
Today’s MyDD poll watcher:
Clinton 287
McCain 251
Result: President Hillary Clinton
McCain 273
Obama 265
Result: President McCain
Yep, this is exactly why I will NEVER vote for Obama. I’m writing in Hillary if Obama is the nominee I’m also going to vote against any Dem in the May 20th primary that endorses Obama.
If they say Obama, that’s it. They don’t get my vote. It’s a litmus test. For a Democratic Party politician to support Obama indicates appallingly bad judgement, and that’s not even counting the mysogyny. BO may well be the nominee, but please, ask yourself what progressive would stand silent, supporting with the cold reserve of ambition the disgracefully sexist, blatantly anti-feminist attack on a well-respected woman of the same party or political foe?
I’m not voting for him. Neither is my husband. We’re on board with Clinton ’till the end. Unity ended the moment they decided Hillary was the enemy.
I sent an email to Howard Dean (howarddean@dnc.org) telling him that if the calls for Hillary to quit did not stop immediately, not only would I NOT vote for Obama (I was planning to only vote down-ticket) but I WOULD vote for John McCain.
Another in the column of “not voting for Obama.” Right on.
I will be voting Green if Hillary does not win the nomination. Cynthia McKinney appears to be the Green front-runner so far for Pres. After what I have witnessed in this campaign – the absolute abandonment of Hillary for the first MALE candidate the Democrats could rally around, the appalling smear job because she is female, and the “nudge-wink” attitude of Obama himself – I will not, never, ever give my vote to Obama. The Democrats are without any courage, fortitude or long-term goals (and this current nominating process is not the first time I have thought this).
I will NOT vote for Obama…I will write in Hillary…this country can’t afford to have Obama as president.
I will never vote for Obama…can’t think of a way they can placate me. Quoting the Dixie Chicks…”Not ready to make nice” ever!!!
I will not vote for Barack Obama in November. I won’t vote for John McCain in November either.
Not only is voting for Obama not an option – but Democrats worked hard to make it that way. No, I will not vote for Obama.
