19. Here we go again! The reason people don't support Hillary must be because she is a woman.

Tue Mar 29, 2016, 01:21 PM

Mar 2016

I want to vote for a candidate because I believe that person is the best to lead the country.
I don't care about the color of their skin, their religion or their genitals!

This kind of crap - this poor woman crap - makes me want to cry.

This is NOT what we fought for. We fought for EQUAL Rights and to stop treating women as delicate flowers.

Jeebus women - grow a spine! Women were beaten and thrown in jail for your right to have one.
