47. Has she ever addressed what War does to women? Ever apologized to the women

of Iraq and Afghanistan for the rapes and murders perpetrated on them by invading armies, the ones she supported? I wonder if she has even followed the dreadful plight of those women since her vote to support the brutal, illegal Iraq invasion?

It's hard to have 'skin like a rhinocerous' when there are bombs dropping on your home, or you have been dragged off to some gulag where you are abused and raped etc. That's what the wars she supports does to women.

No Women's Right advocate supports War. None that I know anyhow, because they know what happens to women in war.

I think she might have told girls they should come from a priviliged background. Kurovski Feb 2014 #35

That's an interesting point, but I'm not sure it applies Renew Deal Feb 2014 #5

I digressed. Le Taz Hot Feb 2014 #6

I just hate that she started that war while she was President. DURHAM D Feb 2014 #50

Can't defend her support with her vote for that massive violation of human rights sabrina 1 Feb 2014 #56

"Get in her face"? Wilms Feb 2014 #25

You struck a nerve didn't you ? NM_Birder Feb 2014 #27

You tire me. Beacool Feb 2014 #58

There is no such thing as 'common courtesy' when it comes to the GOP. Rex Feb 2014 #15

I don't see why there needs to be a double standard treestar Feb 2014 #16

It's a quote from Eleanor Roosevelt dating to the 1920s. Beacool Feb 2014 #23

Eleanor and her husband would have been appalled by the Cintons. Kurovski Feb 2014 #36

I wouldn't be to sure of that treestar Feb 2014 #41

He spoke out and fought for the suffering poor in this country, as did Mrs. roosevelt Kurovski Feb 2014 #42

Verbally? treestar Feb 2014 #65

Hillary is not riding on "Eleanor's good works". Beacool Feb 2014 #44

I agree, they would be appalled at the corporatism that has taken over the Dem Party. sabrina 1 Feb 2014 #49

"gentlemanly respect for the fairer sex" isn't respect at all. It's condescension. lumberjack_jeff Feb 2014 #22

*gasp! I think I agree with you. Whisp Feb 2014 #64

That's good advice for anyone involved in politics CJCRANE Feb 2014 #28
