NOW-NYS not happy with treatment of Clinton

May
15

The group NOW-NYS issued this statement last night urging Hillary Clinton to stay in the race and criticizing her treatment by the “boys in DC.” The statment:

“The media attention that Hillary Clinton has garnered for her win in West Virginia has been too much for the boys in DC to tolerate. So the Beltway boys are circling the wagons and trying to force Hillary Clinton out of the race. And the â€Å“no girls allowed” sign has been given a fresh coat of paint.

“Today, NOW New York State stands firm in our support of Hillary Clinton. We strongly urge her to stay in the race until every vote is counted. Senator Clinton has shown brilliantly as a true American who stands strong and who insists that every vote be counted, and who demands that a nominee be chosen before anyone drops out. She is a democratic American who believes in the rights of all citizens to cast their votes. And Hillary Clinton is every bit as fit to hold office as is the cast of characters calling themselves patriotic, but clamoring that this perfectly viable and capable woman drop out before the votes are counted.

“With the recent endorsement of Obama by John Edwards et.al, the race has become a test of wills among Democrats who should in fact be interested allies. Women will not stand idly by to watch their candidate be sidelined by the DC boys and their supporters who cannot deal with a woman who is the most qualified candidate to be the next President of the United States. And it’s no accident that these recent endorsements come on the heels of Senator Clinton’s exceptional win in West Virginia. She is expected to win the other upcoming primaries, and the drip of Obama endorsements is designed to take the attention away from Senator Clinton. And NARAL should be ashamed of itself for following this herd.

“Hillary Clinton is the best candidate to beat John McCain in November. She has all of the states that any Democratic candidate needs to secure the White House. She has won the swing states. She has fifty-five percent of the women’s vote; and she enjoys the majority of the working class citizens’ vote, as proven over and over again. What more does the Democratic party want from a candidate?

“Hey boys! Girls ARE allowed these days. And we of NOW New York State strongly support Hillary Clinton for President of the United States of America.”

  1. the consultant

    that is the most assinine statement from a supposedly
    legitimate group that i have ever heard

    You need to stop drinking the kool aid. Because Hillary is just using you TOO. Hillary and Clinton are only about themselves. JUST because she’s a woman does not mean you blindly support her.

    If I had a shred of belief that Hillary was running for the betterment of the U.S. I might think a LITTLE differently. But she’s played so dirty that she’s radioactive. She thought she was entitled. She isn’t. Like any other man. She gave her best shot and LOST. Her tactics whether she was a man or a woman have been despicable. She’s not being shut out because she’s a woman. She just LOST!

    Get over it. There are other more capable and deserving women then Senator Clinton. Stop acting like Hillary is the ONLY women who can be president til Haley’s comet comes back. Exercise some logic and come back to earth.

    Hillary went out to Indiana and blamed the recession on “the Wall Street money lenders”......and those yahoos ate it up.

    Can we begin impeachment procedings against her? Has she forgotten she is the Senator for Wall Street?

  4. the consultant

    she is not senator for wall street…she is senator for
    her own ambition..andher husbands

  5. Kevin W. Davis

    Ok so the boys are ganging up on her by supporting Obama like:

    Claire McCaskill
    Kathleen Sebelius
    Amy Klobuchar
    Jean Carnahan
    Janet Napolitano
    Christine Gregoire

    The list goes on

    I love NOW. I am enjoying their petulant destruction of that stupid Democratic Party.

    You’ve got to like NOW: they support Faye Wattleton, who runs NARAL, whose roots supported genocide of Black Americans, in 1926.

    I was born on Thos. Jefferson’s birthday, and have witnesed for the past 30+ years the stupid antics of the angry lowlifes who today call themselves “Democrats.” Hubert Humphrey and HST are unhappy in their graves.

    Today’s Dems are going to be real miserable come November.

    Keep fighting among yourselves, Dems! We love it here in the GOP! Maybe you’ll elect another president in 2020!
