247. Funny, I thought Liz Warren was a woman

Tue Mar 24, 2015, 09:48 PM

Mar 2015

and a damned fine example of a woman that can challenge all those old boys that run the system. Meanwhile, Hillary spends time defending the males that do job exports and outsourcing, something that certainly does hurt women. Wal Mart hurts women by paying them starvation wages. Arab women die and bury babies because Hillary said "Assad must go" and "we came, we saw, he died" in Libya. It is not like she could not have talked to several Iraqi women about how that would have turned out, the same women that are still trying to keep their children alive and how now have to wear burqas, just like their sisters in Syria.

How can people claim Hillary is about helping women when there are many women that are actively HURT by what she does? What did the low-wage worker feeding her kids, the arab woman mourning her dead child, the college student that realizes her job market got outsourced, what did these women do to stop being considered worthy of protection by the lady who wants to represent them?
