Obama Sending His Girls “To Stand in Opposition to a Woman About to Shatter One of the Hardest Glass Ceilings in the History of Mankind”. This is absolutely pathetic.

Historically, NOW has only endorsed female candidates for president, because NOW — like most feminist organizations, including this one — recognizes that women are severely underrepresented in government.

It is generally true that women and minorities are best served when they are fairly represented in their nation’s governments.

This is precisely what bothers me – a man can vote for anybody based on his belief of a principle, but a woman has to vote for another woman irrespective of what she stands for?? I am sorry I cannot give up my right as an individual just to belong to a herd.

This move just makes me look forward to working with you all even more.

N.O.W. no longer represents me and they haven’t for a long, long time. They have been ineffective and Obama pandered to them. Sold to the highest bidder! They had to know the effect this would have and have excused it for dollars despite the cost. This I cannot, and I will not forgive.

The opportunity they have missed in standing up against the misogyny that rained down on Hillary Clinton is nothing short of disgustingly selfish.

During the primaries an older friend of mine gave me some timely words of wisdom and they ring so true to me today…”You women’s organizations are getting too lax and embedded. Make them KNOW you mean business about these issues. No Justice, No Peace!” She was fierce in her support of Hillary and frustrated on many levels with what she saw as a “we can’t go that far, or be that militant in our struggles” attitude. Under the circumstances we faced, with that blood bath of misogyny in the media she felt N.O.W. ought to have come out far, far stronger against it. That’s even more true now than ever.

It seemed to me that the women’s movement for some time often wanted confuse being popular over standing strong to convictions.

The idea that because “some” women meaning those for Obama support their decision and that somehow justifies this is nonsense. Saying he is a champion of women’s rights is beyond ludicrous after what his campaign not only sat silent for but, encouraged in this primary season.

Might as well call yourself the National Organization AGAINST Women since you have endorsed a misogynist.

The New Agenda is needed and welcomed. I will spread the word far and wide.

No one said they had to endorse Palin, they should have stayed neutral.

How do you further women by bypassing women for men? Am I missing something here?

NOW has lost their way…They sold out.

I don’t think much of Carly Fiorina either but I would have been less worried if either Meg Whitman or Carly Fiorina were given the VP spot!

Can you please (carefully) set out exactly what women’s issues you are concerned about/fighting for?. I’d like to contrast those with the candidates’ stand on women’s rights.

Other than being a woman, how does Sarah Palin represent a good choice for women…

* Equal pay?
* Environment?
* Right to choose?

What rights are you promoting?

Very puzzled. I’m pro-life myself, however, wouldn’t dream of legislating this belief for all women. That would be criminal.

Obama/Biden.

He surrounds himself with talented and qualified women. Obama’s meeting with his economic team was all men! McCain has Carly Fiorina, Meg Whitman and others. Plus, he put his money where his mouth is and selected a woman VP. Name me a single thing that Obama has actually done (as opposed to speaking about doing) in his political career!!!

I’m for action, not words!
