Your view of what being pro-woman means is, first of all, completely off the mark, and secondly, self-serving.
You appear to be confused on what "live and let live" means. Definition time:

Live and let live - Idioms by The Free Dictionary

"Cliché not to interfere with other people's business or preferences"

"believing that other people should be allowed to live their lives in the way that they want to"


As I explained in my previous post, given I don't "interfere" with "other peoples business or preferences" with my views, and truly ""believing that other people should be allowed to live their lives in the way that they want to" as I previously stated, just stating my view/opinion, I'm still practicing "live and let live".

You guys are getting desperate, gotta love it. You in particular, so angry and insulting all the time. The epic meltdown that is coming will be so much fun to watch. Remember our interactions in the future when it happens, that emptiness and nausea will be just the beginning. Have a nice day, you won't have many soon enough...
I don't know if he's broke or not and neither do you. That one post lays out compelling reasons why he might be.

From what I understand, no one gets audited every year unless they've been caught doing something illegal. Not even the richest people in this country. He needs to release his taxes.

I'll go even further than that. Congress needs to pass a law forcing Presidential candidates to release their taxes. This way, the public can see how trustworthy they are or not.

And why shouldn't Hillary do this? Most of her career has been spent in promoting women -- both here and in foreign countries. She's worked hard on the issue of women's equality. In fact, I think very few people have worked harder than she has on this issue (I can't think of any). I'm not talking just about women in the USA, but poor women in countries in the Middle East and Asia.

What does that even mean "promoting women"?

Sounds like something said when nothing real has been accomplished.

"believing that other people should be allowed to live their lives in the way that they want to"

You can't be this kind of person, and the kind of person that condemns others for the choices they make. The two kinds are exclusive of one another.

I think she's done a good job "promoting" herself.

A few quick examples on the matter of other woman though. This is promoting women throughout her career?

Hillary Clinton's Handling of 1975 Rape Case Emerges Again - ABC News

"Nevertheless, it might be the way Clinton talked - and laughed - about the trial in the audio tapes, rather than her decision to defend him that people could find off-putting. "


yeah, little off-putting.

Is Hillary Clinton vulnerable on women's rights? - CBS News

"Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul suggested Sunday that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton won't be able to make a credible argument that she promotes women's rights because the foundation run by her family has accepted donations from foreign countries where women are treated poorly."

""She's taken money from countries that abuse the rights of women. In Saudi Arabia, a woman was raped by seven men. The woman was then publically whipped. And then she was arrested for being in a car with an unmarried man. I think we should be boycotting that activity, not encouraging it. And it looks really bad for the case of defending women's rights, if you're accepting money," Paul said in an interview on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday."

Given they can still "live their lives in the way that they want to" despite my views, all is well. Definition integrity is maintained.

Yes, she has been promoting women's issues and causes for years now, but to the right, despite all of those years, she is suddenly "playing the woman card." It just shows that they don't actually know what that expression means. They simply are not bright enough to understand the difference between devoting your life to a specific cause and pulling it out during an election merely to win votes. Which is what Trump does routinely.

And as a woman who has never seen my gender in the White House, has never seen women's causes being front and center despite the fact that we are more than 50 percent of the population, I say it's about time.

Doesn't work that way - you make the allegation - YOU prove it. But that's not how Trumpsters work.


Hard to disprove a negative, isn't it?


Fact is - Trump abused his wives.

Yes, and Trump is free to do that. He's also free to lose the election which he most assuredly will do.

She has. Remember the Schips from years ago? One of my girlfriends had to use that for her kids when her husband went bankrupt. It's the ONLY reason she could afford medical care for them at the time.


But according to Waldo - Hillary has never helped anyone in her life.
