It's true. We all have that freedom. But dividing the country from within is exactly what the terrorists want!

No doubt that I am extremely grateful to those that came before me, who enabled me to have the right to vote.

With that said though, I can't help but wonder what Susan B. Anthony would think about the idea being floated around in some parts that people should vote for Clinton because of her genitalia.

I think Geraldine Ferrarro, whose 1984 landslide defeat with Mondale, at least partly due to her family financial dealings, might have made a great POTUS as a first woman. Interesting that some three decades later we have 2 major candidates and their personal financial questionables are not that big a deal to most.

There are so many people I wish were alive to see this - my mother, Hillary's mother, Shirley Chisholm, Susan B. Anthony...
A shame she had to be a sociopathic corrupt power hungry monster huh?

I understand what you're saying BUT I don't feel that at all. If Hillary wins (and most likely than not she will win the election) she will take a very shady past and present to the highest level of government of the most powerful country. Many Americans think there's a halo around our government and nation and that corruption only happens in those other countries.

Nothing wrong at all with a female president or a female CEO. I'm for the best PERSON for the job. Hillary is far from this.

-Cheers.

Hillary rigged the primary and was caught talking about rigging foreign elections in 2006. She believe the end justifies the means. That's not how democratic elections are supposed to work.\

Woman or not, she's a horrible person, at her core.

No, she's not. Not by a long shot. What makes her more qualified than FDR, JFK, Abraham Lincoln, LBJ? She's one of the most crooked and corrupt, though. She belongs in a camp with Nixon.

Why not Amy Klobuchar or a handful of other women who are just as qualified and who's honor and honesty is solid?

What a horrible first female candidate.
Agreed! If I was a feminist I would not want Hillary to pave the way for female presidents. Men have George Washington, and women might have Hillary Clinton? That's a steep divide in quality. Btw I did vote for a woman, but not for Clinton. I am not voting for a candidate that is in bed with the big oil companies and big pharma, whether they have a vagina or a penis.

Nixon had the decency to wait until after being elected to be corrupt.
