ok, people. we have a handle on this. when did clinton announce?

two days ago? three days ago?

already we clearly see and reduce well.... (without paying attention and following a lot of the threads).... to the whole cootie issue. it is for real. we have dealt with it forever. and it has its own flavor and feel.

here it is. the response when i see it. this simple

i cannot believe that in just a couple days, we have reduced this primary to this:

cooties.

that juvenile.

Not because of cooties, either.

Just coming out here....

I do hope that Clinton support does not become a requirement of this safe haven.

i will be listening, and deciding as time moves on. i do not feel an obligation to support clinton, simply because she is a woman. but, i am finding what has happened the last couple days very interesting.

and at this point, i will certainly address what i see as non truths about her.

i am just that kinda gal.

this group does not tell people who they have to support. also, i defended palin and still defend rw women when they are subject to sexism.

i feel that is my job as a feminist.

Honest debates of Clinton qualifications as a candidate probably don't belong here (unfortunately--I think we could stay civil about it.) The sexism that will infest the criticisms/discussions of her will.

But discussing the sexism against her will be allowed.

And if someone posts sexists comments here about Hillary or anyone else they will be blocked.

The usual......

don't think I'm not bona fide!

I would never attack her for being a woman.

I would be ecstatic if Barbara Boxer and/or Jan Schwakowsky got into it!

Hopefully, we will see your support against those types of atacks here in the group. I expect a lot of discussion about it.

Thanks passing fair.

"Do girls have cooties?" They interviewed over five million
males between the ages of 4 and 6 and found that 98%
confirmed that girls do have cooties. Please don't alert.
I'm just reporting the hard scientific facts.
