WomenCount PAC: Sexist and Dishonest

At some point I will have to stop thinking about this. But in the meantime...

Women Count PAC, a political action committee, is a group created by five women "who had traveled together around the country to campaign for Hillary Clinton [and who] were feeling frustrated about calls for her to withdraw from the race." The purpose of the group, as explained on their website, is to "ensure that the 51 percent of American citizens who are women have their values and votes counted in the political process".

So, just to be clear, Women Count PAC is a group created by women who campaigned for Hillary Clinton whose purpose is to ensure that the votes of women are counted. Not "all of the vote" or "the vote of men and women". No, Women Count PAC is concerned only with the votes of women given what their site says.

Now, here is a quote from a Newsweek Interview with Rosemary Camposano:

Newsweek: Was this ever a matter of Hillary Clinton being the first woman to have real shot at the White House?

Rosemary Camposano: We didn't organize around that principle at all. Supporting Hillary was not about her being a woman, although we admire her as a woman. But the underlying gender discrimination has been shocking. I've been disturbed by it. It's so hard for me to understand how we can be so outraged about racism, then allow the same undercurrent of gender bias to happen.

So Women Count PAC is a group formed by women whose purpose is to ensure that the votes of women are counted. Women Count will be protesting the May 31st DNC Rules Committee saying, "Hillary needs YOU to stand up for HER just as she always stands up for you." (capitalization theirs) But according to Rosemary Camposano, "supporting Hillary was not about her being a woman".

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!

Do you honestly expect people to believe you, Rosemary Camposano? A group of women form a group called "Women Count" whose purpose is to ensure that the votes of women are counted and who will protest a DNC rules committee meeting on behalf of a woman candidate...and you're telling me that the candidate's gender is not a factor, a motivating force, the primary reason that you all give a damn? Really?

When voters in West Virginia were interviewed about the Democratic Primary they were asked why they did not vote for Obama. And you know what some of them said? Some voters in West Virginia actually said to reporters, on camera, that they would not vote for Barack Obama because he was black. Knowing full well that they were being bigots and racists when asked a question they told the fucking truth.

Which is more than you can claim, Rosemary Camposano.
