Emily's List Greets Convention-Goers

Emily's List Greets Convention-Goers

This woman was standing at the bottom of an the escalator that leads to the press registation area at the Sheraton Hotel. Her sign, which includes the web address for the P.A.C. Emily's List says, "When women vote, Democrats win."

Emily's List founder Ellen Malcolm was a prominent supporter of Hillary Clinton during the primary, but endorsed Barack Obama shortly after the primary was settled, and urged pro-choice women not to vote for John McCain.

Unclear if the message on the sign is a threat or an appeal to Clinton supporters who are still sore over her loss.

Why do people assume that all the Hillary Democrats are women?

Many white male FDR Democrats are voting for McCain or staying home.

Jon7 (not verified) says:

Hillary Clinton was cast aside by limousine leftists and a gaggle of thankless, overwhelmingly racist blacks who, after lionizing the Clintons for years, shamelessly portrayed them as "racists" as soon as they had the opportunity to "vote fo' a brotha, yo!"

Given that the Clintons had pandered to these people for 15 years, affording them far more input and importance than either their numbers or their social contributions warranted, the black betrayal was especially nauseous.

Now it's time for vengeance at the polls, where throngs of
Hillary Democrats will say, "NO!" to Obama and his crew of of silver-spoon Columbia kids and racist, blame-whitey blacks.

DO NOT stay home, Hillary Dems! Vote for McCain. A vote not cast is a vote for Obama and his scumbag constituents.

The Democratic party has ABANDONED the FDR democrats in favor of the quixotic social causes of Hollywood elites and the Manhattan charity-ball circuit.

JUST SAY, "NOBAMA!"

You know, I am so sick and tired about this women voters for Hillary because she is a woman. Let me tell you something - I find it extremely sexist and offensive - I am a woman who has voted for the last 45 years- never missed voting in an election and voted for the person and not for any party affiliation. Who gives a damn what sex the person is - I will never vote for a woman just because she is one. No wonder we sometime find ourselves in terrible situations because the portion of the electorate sometime votes with their heart and NOT with their head.

So, please - Stop this nonsense with women etc...I find it injurious and terribly offensive.

Jon7 said: But I'm guessing you weren't the least bit offended by the 90 percent of blacks who suddenly dumped the Clintons simply because Obama is black.

Just another example of the liberal rule: white bias = bad. Black bias = perfectly fine, nay justified.

The country-club Democrats staged a coup d'etat during the primary season, and we need to put down the revolt in November. Let's send Obama to a lopsided loss, alienate and destroy the members of his traitorous coven (Dodd, Richardson, Biden, etc.), and restore the Democratic party to its rightful identity: the party of WORKING PEOPLE, not crackpot social causes.

Jon7 says: I've voted exclusively for Democrats since I came of voting age in 1996, but by all means, keep trying to convince yourself that I'm a Republican in disguise and that there aren't legions of other Clinton Democrats who feel just as I do.

By the most recent estimates, Obama is carrying only 52 percent (!) of Clinton Democrats. And given the fact that Hillary netted essentially the same number of primary votes as Obama, this ought to send off a tocsin in the Obama camp.

Obama and his coalition of limousine liberals and racist blacks are going to have a MAJOR problem with Clinton Democrats in November.

When Obama loses, it's imperative that he and his constituents realize that it was the Clinton Democrats who administered the death blow, not the Republicans.

PUMA!

Democrats for McCain!

Jason,

Next time, please remember to inform your viewers exactly what EMILY stands for (hint: it references a useful fungus). Not so subtle message -- women only need apply to help our cause. Is their any acronym more exclusionary toward males than the one above?
