Pelosi Tells Clinton To Stop Playing The Women Card…
Flying pig alert.
Quote:…But evading the question, to some extent, is the point: When you get to the rarified level she and Clinton inhabit, you’ve got to invent a new lexicon for discussing gender in politics – much as Obama tried to do with race in his presidential campaigns. You need to talk about it without quite talking about it.
“I don’t think that any woman should be asked to vote for someone because she’s a woman, and that– because the candidate is a woman,” Pelosi said.
“When I was running for leadership, the last thing I would say to my whips [was], ‘Do not ever say to anybody it’s time for us to have a woman in the leadership,’ because that’s the least important selling point,” she said, going on to offer some unsolicited advice: “In terms of Hillary Clinton and this election, I think that the attitude that … you should vote for her because she’s a woman and you’re a woman is not a good selling point. And I think that turns some people off.”

It's sound advice. But that card will get played from the bottom of the deck regardless in the run up to the elections.

Well she can't run on competence or integrity or being someone you can trust or someone who understands the little guy. Got to find some reason for somebody to vote for her.

Quote:"This is a historic moment – for the Congress, and for the women of this country. It is a moment for which we have waited more than 200 years. Never losing faith, we waited through the many years of struggle to achieve our rights. But women weren't just waiting; women were working. Never losing faith, we worked to redeem the promise of America, that all men and women are created equal. For our daughters and granddaughters, today, we have broken the marble ceiling. For our daughters and our granddaughters, the sky is the limit, anything is possible for them"
Nancy Pelosi during her speech after being sworn in as the 1st female Speaker of the House.
Next.

Meanwhile, she paraded all the Dem women in Congress across the stage to shill for the woman.

She could argue that she has the experience. But like you said that would open up questions regarding her performance.

Jill Stein have more integrity than Hillary. She will mopped the floor with Hillary with attacks from the Libya issue and other stuff. Jill will not be handcuff with attacks like Bernie was since Jill is in the Green Party.

I'm sorry but...
You know as well as I do the media has zero intention of covering either Jill Stein or Gary Johnson. Neither will be invited to any debates.

Gary Johnson is at least polling right on the edge of making the debates. Jill Stein, however, is nowhere close. Additionally, I'm not even sure if Jill Stein has a mathematical path to victory, as the Green Party is only on the ballet in some 20-something states. The Libertarian Party is on all 50 ballots.
