So, I'm assuming, these white women don't plan to sit home and not vote. They are going to vote for McCain!
Great! I guess women don't mind then if their right to choose gets taken away from them if McCain is President. I would think long and hard about your decision "my friends" (McCain loves those words). Is it worth the sour grapes? Below is a little piece of what you might have to give up because of those sour grapes and this is only ONE example. There will be more the lefties will not like with these "conservative" appointed judges.
McCain, the presumptive GOP nominee, promised to appoint judges in the mold of Roberts and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, saying they would interpret the law strictly to curb the scope of their rulings. While McCain didn't mention abortion, Christian conservatives understand that such nominees would be likely to limit or perhaps overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.

This is an OLD argument. The time to do something about it WAS BEFORE DUBYA APPOINTED CONSERVATIVE Judges. Now, the new members on the court are conservative so it's 4 to 3 anyway.
Feel free to come back with this argument in 30 years when Roberts starts getting old and feeble.
Also, Supreme Court Judges can't be confirmed without the Senate and House confirming them -- so how about asking those Democrats in the senate to do their jobs? If they don't want Conservatives judges -- keep them out!!
One more thing you might think about: The people who care about Roe v. Wade are backing Clinton. If abortion rights mean something to you, then you need to back Clinton too.

Oh, not that old, tired crap again. We've had this discussion on other threads.
First off, you assume that all women are rabid about abortion rights. Wanna know the REAL choice? Being discerning and responsible about your sexuality so you don't NEED to make that sort of decision in the first place. And, before some lamebrain hauls off on me insisting that I think rape and incest victims should be forced to bear children, I don't. That's a whole different subject.
Secondly, this argument is trotted out time and time again by the Dems to keep women "in line." "Oh, my, you CAN'T consider a Republican candidate cuz he'll overturn Roe v. Wade!!!! This next president can appoint a whole bunch of SC justices!" Yeah, right. Fools who believe that pathetic rhetoric do so without understanding how the SC actually works and without regarding the past 30+ years. Are women that gullible and lemming-like that they will still fall for the Dem. tactics? Apparently some are!
According to a new report by The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, half of white women now have a negative perception of Obama.
Forty-nine percent of white women view Obama unfavorably, while only 43 percent hold a favorable opinion. In February, 36 percent of these women viewed Obama unfavorably, while 56 percent had a positive perception of the likely Democratic nominee.
Wow! We are really going to have to work hard to get this group of voters for Obama. Without them we will lose, no question about it. We can get by with 30% of the white male vote but we cannot win without white women. We need at least 65% here to win. I think Obama needs to seriously choose a white woman as VP- but not necessarily "that" white woman. Kathleen Sebilus of Kansas would be a good choice. Or he could promise that his Supreme Court appointments will be women since many of them are concerned about the right to choose. Either way we have our work cut out for us.

He should have thought he might need our vote back when he said

Also when asked if she would vote for Hillary, Michelle Obama said "She would have to think about it"
Everyone was fine with those statements.
I am sick of the way women have been treated just because we are
Clinton supporters, we have been called racist, stupid, old, uneducated, afraid of change.
I am tried of the politics Obama has inflicted.
I am sick of the way the Dems have acted, I am sick of the media and their bias
I am not voting anymore for someone I do not believe in like I did when I voted for Al Gore and John Kerry.
It will be interesting how this plays out.

Not really. Only 3 of the Court's judges are so far to the right that you know how they will vote on every case. So you have to ask yourself if you want 2 more Clarence Thomas' on that court. While I generally think courts should be fairly conservative in their decison making, I do not want a bunch of right wing loonies up there that refuse to listen to arguments, refuse to ask questions and already have their minds made up before a case is even argued. And I don't want the left doing it either. As for Roe v Wade, I think it was a horrible decison. Yes, I DO support the right of women to have an abortion 100%. But that is not in the Constitution of the United States nor is there anything about a "right to privacy" in that document. Those decisions should be left to the legislative branch.

Sounds like you have the seeds for a strong independent party. Could be the election has yet another historic moment on the horizon. If Hillary doesn't wish to be the candidate, who would be an alternate choice?
Funny, I'm a white women in her late 30's, and generally hang out and work with a lot of other white women ranging in age from late 20's to almost 60 years old, and I haven't seen the attitude that expressed here among any of them, even amongst those who voted for Hillary in the primary.
