McCain Campaign is Sexist

Catholic Women Religious who supported Hillary Clinton in large numbers this past primary season should be outraged by the McCain campaign's treatment of Hillary Clinton. She is being used against her will by the McCain campaign and her words are being used out context in swiftboat style campaign ads by the McCain Campaign.

What part of Hillary's endorsement of Barrack Obama way back in June of this year did the McCain campaign miss?

Hillary herself said: "My name is Hillary Clinton, and I do not support this ad" - are the McCain folks deaf?

Catholic women and women all across America have much to consider this fall when going to the polls - do they continue with the same sexist polices of the Bush administration by voting for McCain? Policies that only talk about abortion and do to nothing reduce them by empowering women with other choices. Policies that keep the average salaries of women lower in the work force? Policies that try to keep women home and away from higher education and good jobs?

All indications are that they will vote for change and to move the country forward, and Catholic women and Women Religious will lead the way.
