From what I've seen, Hillary and Nancy Pelosi are pretty moderate.
It must be the whole "conseratives are threatened by women in power" thing........

You have that right I think. The Right are afraid of anything modern as far as thought is concerned. Look at their take on gay marriage.
Closed minds, all of them.

No, no and no.
First not ALL or ALWAYS or NEVER.
Second, you can't take the comments from a few extreme right wingers to make judgments on comments made from extreme leftist. Now as far as Hillary and Pelosi, like most politicians they have moderate views on some topics and then go way out there on others.
Third, you threatened by women theory is plain ignorance, based on your question in general I'm not surprised. Republicans are making-up ground when it comes to involving women and accepting women as power players. Rice was even considered a viable Presidential candidate, she female and black. How are conservatives threatened?
I know your looking for some other radical comment about how anyone who doesn't believe or think like you do is wrong but do research and open your mind to the idea that both parties have the same issues and they turn the focus against each other in order to avoid being exposed.

Actually, Pelosi is pretty liberal you should see her voting record. Hillary has been trying to become a centrist because before she was a liberal. However, this doesn't mean that female dems are lefties. I'm a female Democrat and I'm not a liberal. I'm anti-gun control and planning to join NRA (I love guns). I think drugs should always be illegal and support the death penalty. This are things a liberal like Pelosi detests. You're right though, not all women who are democrats are liberals.

Hillary has moved right, and Pelosi, from what I understand, IS a little extreme.
LMAO And since most conservative women I know are very strong, outspoken women, I don't think it's because conservatives are threatened by women in power. No more than liberal men are.
Why the generalizations?

Probably for the same reason Democrats always label male Republicans as red-necked mysoginist cross-burners; they lack the ability to argue convincingly for their own views so they attack the person instead of debating policies.
Sweeping generalizations such as "It must be the whole "conseratives are threatened by women in power" thing......" are an example of this lack of debating skill.

Fear? I really think that's the base reason. They are both very moderate. People make assumptions based on sources they believe to be true, but that only buttress up their own minds. Like ultra-conservatives believing everything they hear on Fox or extreme liberals and CNN. I just shake my head when I read comments that say Hillary is a liberal or Pelosi is left wing. It's patently ridiculous and when I read those comments I have no doubt that the authors don't have a clue about their real politics. There's a lot of parrots in this jungle.

For the same reason they are labeled 'shrill'. Men are never labeled shrill. To some Reps every Democrat is a liberal, and a communist (?) not to mention chicken, to put it mildly. I've found it amusing to see that they now claim that the only reason the Dems won this round was because they put up only conservative Democrats, a group Reps have never before admitted existed.

Its about people (ok democrats) taking the media at face value. it really is not extremely plenty Obama's lies, it really is about all the lies being cautioned by the elitists, and persons believing it love it really is gospel. The lies being cautioned are as risky as poisoned kool-help. If people proceed to have self idea this BS and act on it, we may have a u . s . of ineffective those who might want to favor to to boot be ineffective. those messages are poisonous to our society.

I agree, a more correct term would be 'feminazi' or 'pinko commie'. hillary and pelosi are communist socialists, plain and simple. This has nothing to do with their gender, its sexists like them that claim they are being persecuted simply because they are female. This follows the logic of racist bigots like sharpton and jackson who preach against racism and bigotry.

Okay, so as a Conservative Democrat, I will have to agree with some of the other answers...Both of these women are quite Liberal.
Additionally, I must correct your statement. It's not Conservatives who are threatened by women in power, it's men. There are a lot of Conservative women out there who are entirely capable of being good leaders.

Nope, I'd have to disagree. Conservatives aren't threatened by "women in power." Only those who are too extreme -- like HC and Pelosi -- make moderates cringe too.
