In Defense Of Hillary Clinton

I never thought that I'd quote Ronald Reagan! Reagan said that there was an 11th commandment: Another Republican must not attack another Republican.

The Democratic candidates for president must follow that as well. There is no need to harass and attack Senator Hillary Clinton. Our country is in its present mess because of the policies of President George W. Bush and the Republican rubber-stamp leadership.

Senator Clinton faced some tough questions last night at the Philadelphia debate and not all of them were from the moderators. However, I believe that Senator Clinton is one tough lady. She has endured and survived the Republican attacks during Bill Clinton's presidency. She survived so much but she always comes back stronger and willing to take on the issues that others ignore.

After the debate, I was reminded of the 'He-Man Woman Haters Club' from the Little Rascals. This is not the way fellow Democrats should be treating each other.

As a woman, a wife, a mother, and a Democrat, I'd like to say this to all the male candidates and male reporters----
"BACK OFF!"
