For Hillary supporters contemplating supporting McCain...
McCain is anti-choice which means he wants to restrict women's rights. Obama will not. He has a strong record of supporting women unlike McCain.

That's all it should take for women who claim to support Hillary.

and not approve anti-choice justices

6. The Republicans will not allow Roe v. Wade to be overturned.
It is their best wedge issue. On the other hand, Obama believes choice is a "moral" issue - not a personal issue. There is no evidence at all whatsoever that Obama would use choice as a litmus test for a SC nominee. Dream on.

8. The GOP never thought a Democratic President would eliminate Welfare either
But Bill proved them wrong, so dont count on the other side not following through when the chance is there.

7. If you vote for McCain, Chelsea won't be allowed to use birth control.
What Hillary supporter would want to do that to Chelsea?

9. McCain and Hillary are miles away on every issue, she even admitted...
that there were few idealogical differences between her and Obama. How could ANYONE supporting Sen.Clinton possibly fathom putting someone like McCain into the Whitehouse?

10. Your sweet but naive,
many of her supporters are behind those years. Many people don't care if Roe v Wade is overturned, they've fought those battles and now it's time for the young ones to fight some battles. Besides, it builds character...........

draft, the war, and equality for women, time for the young ones to fight their own battles............

It was tough for us and it will be even more tough for them. With 2 wars, a possible depression, falling dollar, no jobs, pensions or health care, no money for education. But wait.....the messiah will fix everything...........he's for change....wow.....what a concept....heaven help us all, while they bicker about Hillary, the country is falling apart!

14. McCain is wrong for America and the World. Supporting him is supporting Bush.
