Why I'm A Female And I'm Not Voting For Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton sucks, period.

Why I'm A Female And I'm Not Voting For Hillary Clinton
jtf.org

For starters, I'll say that my entire family is a part of the Democratic party. They're all pro-union, something that Hillary claims she's in full support of. I, myself, have voted Democrat before. I'm sick and tired of people saying that they're voting for Hillary because "It'd be nice to have a female president." I'm a female too, obviously, but there's absolutely no way I can vote for Hillary Clinton and here're a couple reasons why.

1. Her comment degrading nurses.

Clinton once stated that "nurses were overpaid and nothing but doctor's handmaids." Being a nursing major, I can't see myself voting for someone who degrades my chosen profession, but claims to support all unions. Nurses are part of a union, and I can't see her supporting people she claimed were nothing but a step-down from a doctor.

2. Benghazi.

Clinton is a pathological liar about the whole Benghazi tragedy. Her failure to act and her countless excuses as to why she didn't makes me sick. We know for a fact based on State Department documents that Benghazi was a terrorist attack, she let four people die.

3. Landing in Bosnia.

Clinton claimed that she landed under sniper fire in Bosnia. When in reality, she and Chelsea were seen in a video strolling across the Bosnian tarmac smiling and receiving flowers from well-wishers.

4. Lying about being a public servant.

Clinton claims to be a public servant and having "sacrificed" 30 years in public service. She hasn't sacrificed anything, she's lived the progressive dream for years.

5. Lying about being "dead broke" when she left the White House.

A few weeks before they left the White House, the Clinton's were able to muster a cash down payment of $855,000 and secure a $1.995 million mortgage. This hardly fits the common meaning of "dead broke."

Her tons and tons of lies are a red flag for me. I don't care if she's a female and she'd be the first woman president. Martin Luther King claims that people should be judged on "the content of their character." To me, Clinton's character isn't helping her chances of winning this election. Even though I'm a democrat and a female, I think that anyone would be better than Hillary Clinton as our next president. I'm not voting for her, and you shouldn't either. While I think that neither Trump nor Clinton are good enough candidates to run this country, I'd take Trump's blatant and sometimes harsh honesty over Clinton's flip-flop personality any day. Trump has been consistent in what he's been saying he'd do as president, but Clinton has been changing her plans each and every press conference.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
