Ms. Heather Wilson does not speak for The Democratic Women of New Mexico

Last time I checked Heather Wilson was a republican who is supporting Senator John McCain for President. She along with the McCain group would say anything to stop Senator Obama for getting elected this year. Here is a quote from the Heath Haussamen blog about what Ms. Heather Wilson reaction was to Senator Obama’s visit to New Mexico. I was saying that republicans were angry with his visit.

“But I understand how women feel when someone speaks to them that way,” she said. “I don’t like being patronized or being spoken to in a condescending way and I think that’s what (Obama) was doing.” Funny I don’t remember her being in the room with Senator Obama.

My advice to Ms. Wilson is if she does not like being talked down to then she should quit the Republican Party because I have yet to meet a single republican male who does not condescend to women. I grew up in a republican family and still have family members who are republican males. Even though she was the better republican candidate they still voted for a women hating candidate like Congressman Steve Pearce who hangs around with people who think rape is just fine if it is not seen.

Let the Republican press get Senator Obama along for five minutes without a blogger with him and they will find something to misquote or to take out of context.

Senator Obama was not patronizing or condescending when I saw him speak to the working women of New Mexico. He is working hard to unite our party and respects the hard working women in New Mexico as he does with the hard working women in his own family. Some of Senator Clinton’s supporters are clearly and understandably still angry that she did not win the nomination. Senator Clinton herself is now supporting our nominee and she has asked her supporters to do the same. I don’t think for one minute that a woman as smart and intelligent as Senator Clinton would support someone who she felt would be patronizing to her women supporters. She has a very powerful voice in our party and Senator Obama has said that he has great respect for the Senator from New York. Senator Obama said that Senator Clinton has broken the glass ceiling into 18 million pieces and that it will never be remade in this country if he can prevent it from happening.
