Gloria Steinem

[Perknose]

When I was a young buck, back in the Pleistocene period, I had the hots for Gloria Steinem, because smart is sexy and values trump all (plus she was fairly easy on the eyes for a non-starlet/underwear model.)

Time marches on . . . balls sag, boobs sag, and you get the face you deserve.

Gloria Steinem is now 81 freaking years old, and she is still, with intelligence, erudition and poise, standing up for what she believes in.

She's backing Hilary Clinton, and I know that the same posters here who reflexively call Ms. Clinton Hildabeast will now pour in here and reflexively savage Gloria Steinem. This is P&N, where the ugliest and most primitive voices can tend to stand out and raise your blood pressure. Sadly, there's no way 'round that.

Now, I love Bernie Sanders, and there is no candidate on either side who most espouses my hopes and dreams for our Republic, but I'm voting for Hilary Clinton for president because politics is the art of the possible, and the most politically possible thing I can contribute my vote to is who will nominate the next Supreme Court candidates in the next 4-8 years.

Anyway, here is Gloria Steinem, a heart throb of mine of yore, speaking with simple grace and intelligence, in a brief interview with Bill Maher.

Politics is the art of the possible

If you want to change the game you don't settle for status quo. You inspire a movement with passion and show people the leadership to build a voting bloc to contend with. You shouldn't fear the blue dogs, the blue dogs should fear you... and your voters. Your movement. To truly lead this country you have to seize the moment.

The big “Hillary realism” lie: Clinton supporters present a false choice — and misread our political moment

"Realist" vs. "idealist" talk misses the point: This is a time when change is not a dream, but what people demand
​

To elect Hillary Clinton is to maintain the status quo. It's to support someone who voted Yes for Iraq. Who cheered on the Arab Spring and used our military to bring chaos and terrorism to Libya. Who wants to topple dictators and democratize the Middle East (Syria).

That is the foreign policy of Neocons. Might as well keep Bush in office. Hillary's Iraq vote wasn't a one time mistake, it continues to be standard policy employed in more countries following the election of Obama. She is the one who corrupted Hope and Change from 2008. Obama relied on her and now ISIS has new ground to claim in the wake of toppling "regimes" and spreading "Democracy".

Don't make the same mistake as your fledgling President.

Neocon isn't just a Republican trait, it's a Wall Street foreign policy. That's who Clinton is in bed with. Not the people, but the 1%. The establishment who voters say is ruining this country. Hilliary Clinton is part of the problem in America, not part of its solution. A vote for her is a vote for four more years of crony capitalism and corruption. Four more years of poverty, angst, and resentment building as the people wait for a true leader to topple Wall Street and say no more cheap labor, no more offshoring jobs, no more bailouts, no more military splurges... no more business as usual.

This is a moment for a revolution.

This is a moment for a revolution.

Revolution cannot happen without most all of the reps being voted out this election. There's only nine sens IIRC, up for election, so no\little help there.

 

[IGBT]

is she finished with her Chemo yet?? she looks like hell.

 

[Hugo Drax]

I am amazed how people think Clinton is some revolutionary woman of the people who will fight for the middle class. LOL I still cannot believe how the sheep have been lead to believe this. Her actions speak otherwise. She is as establishment gets. There she is with her Big bank friends, getting her beak wet.

 

[Subyman]

Saw her on Bill Maher. It was a great interview, couldn't believe she was 81. Hillary has done a lot for women's rights, but I don't believe she is the same person she used to be.

Nice interview. Thanks. I am for Bernie myself but understand and appreciate your vote for Hillary. When I find my blood pressure rising at the word of fools, I try to remember that while exposure to their words is brief for me, they are forced to be who they are 24/7. That turns my bile to pity.

 

[Sinsear]

I just re registered as a democrat. So i can vote in the primary against Bernie Sanders.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I know basically nothing about this woman, but I love how it's other liberals and Sanders-supporters that are doing all the reflexive savaging so I don't have to. :awe:

 

[MongGrel]

Gloria and Gilda Radner were a couple of my second wife's hero's.

She was very intelligent, independent and pretty easy on the eyes herself. We parted ways, she actually proposed to me more or less ATT. She had some other things in her background that had a bit to do with that one.

I won't ramble on with details.

Hillary blew it by listening to the lies of Republicans, and her constituency. She made a mistake 14 years ago. I don't blame her , I blame the Republicans determined to go to war for lying about the intelligence.
How about you? If you voted for Republicans you are part of the problem, you were swayed by liars and warmongers. Maybe you should just quit voting for a while?

 

[LPCTech]

Hillary Clinton is a republican running as a democrat. I will never vote for her, and if she is the democratic nomination we will lose and have one the loonies for president. Because if she is the nomination there will be no difference between her and a republican president minorities will not come out to vote and its done with.

Vote for bernie or we are all in trouble. Rubber stamp rodham clinton will do whatever the highest bidder tells her.

All of you that cant wait to vote for her in the primary are ensuring a republican president. Hope you like Trump and Cruz.

Remember this, the people that want bernie are not going to fall in behind a republican wearing blue. They will stay home and the republican candidate will win.

Remember that. A vote for Hillary is a vote for Trump. (or whoever the lunatics pick)

If Hillary is a Republican, why are all of the Republicans attacking her?
And if sore loser Sanders primary voters stay home and allow a Republican victory, the blood will be on their hands.
Similar to the Nader voters in 2000 that helped elect GWB. Thousands of Americans died for no reason. I'll bet most of those Nader voters regret their votes.

That's right libtard, eat your young, suppress all resistance to your favorite candidate, this is nothing but a sport and team loyalty rules above all. If you're willing to blame non-supporters of Bush for his actions, I'd imagine you could distort anything to be anti-Hillary and therefore anti-good.

Really not sure why you're just blithering atm

Because it's fun to see hyper-partisan lefties attack their own. Sheer pleasure. I would die laughing if Hillary lost because she upset the Bernie crowd enough. I think she's going to win in any case, and I think competition between her and Republicans in the House and Senate would be good just as it was for Bill. Despite that, a person that makes a "lesser of two evils" argument for EVERY election is guaranteeing losing what they really care about, assuming they're anything more than partisan hacks to begin with. As long as Dems and Repubs do that and duopolize the electoral process, they can fuck off and die with respect to their attacks on third-party/independent/non-lockstep candidates.

I feel more or less the same way about Trump and the Republicans btw, the difference being that he's looking to win it.

Because republicans want to win thats why. But notice that wallstreet, the big banks are not attacking her.

She will work for the highest bidder the moment she gets into office.

Nicely said. Should Bernie get the nomination, I'm sure we'll both support him as well. Like he said- they're both 100 times better than the Repubs.

 

[buckshot24]

Why would you be proud of this?

 

[Moonbeam]

Why would you be proud of this?

She said she had an abortion. That is all that was said. You assumed she was saying she was proud because you would be ashamed. Her statement implies no pride, rather the absence of either.

 

[michal1980]

Why would you be proud of this?

because for a liberal killing a baby is a badge of honor. the more they kill, the cooler they become.

 

[LPCTech]

As a democrat all I can think about is murdering babies.

It consumes my thoughts at all times.

The republican guy knows whats up, just like the rest of the republicans. I mean they are the smartest people ever. Obvs. Logic is their strong point at all times.



But back on topic. The only liberal candidate in the race is Bernie.

Why are the republicans attacking her...um...perhaps those candidates want to win the election lol. Why are they attacking each other? derp.

As was said before, this has nothing at all to do with who is male and female.

But to do with who has had the same positions for 20 years and who changes positions based on what the focus groups think is best to say today or that gets the most paying donors. Like Goldman Sachs.

The point is, it doesnt matter who wins if Sanders loses the primary. Because then we will have 2 republicans running against each other, but one will call themselves a democrat. Same result regardless of winner. And Clinton will lose because the dem voters that WOULD have come to the poles wont show up at all. They wont see a point in voting.

Get behind Sanders or a republican will be president. regardless.

Even if the sanders voters decide to back Clinton the voter turnout will be low. She represents the same thing as the republican candidates to many liberal voters.

IMO the first woman president should be Elizabeth Warren.

Oh btw republicans:
Unemployment is lower than when bush took office.
Al Qaida is smashed.
Osama is dead.
The stock market is higher than ever.
No major foreign terrorist attacks occurred on US soil during his presidency.(just small ones done by republicans)
I had to switch jobs at one point to one that didnt supply health insurance, but because of "ObamaCare" I was able to find the same type of insurance that all my doctors accept for 285$ a month less than if i took "COBRA" from my last job. And this insurance is permanent and doesnt expire and leave me uninsured in 18 months like cobra would have.

Obama sure was terrible. Wrecked everything huh? :whiste:

 

[sm625]

Gloria Steinem is not smart. She worked with the CIA to destroy the american family and usher in an era of sjw mental destruction. She has done more damage than a million man invasion force.

 

[PokerGuy]

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you that worthless trash like steinem would support hildabeast.
