On the way home from work the other day I was listening to liberal talk radio on Sirus Satellite radio, the host Ed Shultz took a call from a woman who didn't like Hillary Clinton. She was vehement about her dislike of Senator Clinton and was convinced she was a spoiler if she was the Democratic Party's presidential candidate. Ed tried several times to pin the woman down to a particular position or issue that she disagreed with Senator Clinton on but the woman was unable to articulate those differences choosing instead to volley snide remarks about her personality and the fact that she didn't know any women who liked Hillary Clinton. Every time Ed asked her to give him one specific issue which caused her to part ways with the Senator, the caller returned to her personal attacks. The whole conversation disgusted me and made me ashamed. That woman was as big a sexist, misogynist as any chauvinist male I've ever encountered. I don't like women who don't like other women. Women who view other women as competition for men or jobs and would slit their throats in a heartbeat are the enemy. These are women who can't and shouldn't be trusted. They will act like your friend and then talk about you behind your back or worse tear you down to your boss.

The white male dominated world that we live in is tough enough without our sisters attacking us too. I've always believed that women need to support and help each other. We are united as women, mothers, sisters, wives and girl friends above politics, religion or place of residence. Sisterhood is a powerful thing and the love and support I have from my women friends has uplifted me and helped me through numerous catastrophes and dark days.

Feel free to disagree with Senator Clinton or any female civilian or politician but don't use personal attacks and snide remarks to support your position. Even if you don't like Senator Hillary Clinton at least give the woman credit for raising a successful, independent child, leaving the White House and winning a Senate seat, having the courage to try to solve the nation's health care crisis, keeping her marriage together despite a very public extra-marital affair and maintaining her dignity and some semblance of privacy in the fishbowl that is national politics. If you don't like her then don't vote for her but keep your snide, nasty comments to yourself.
