I Know These Women

The women posting here may benefit from those who champion women's rights but they are certainly less than deserving. But I guess we cannot pick and chose when we have an agenda. I know you though. You are the kind of women I work with day after day. Even after all these years, we find women who pander to men. I thought that after my mother's generation passed on it would only be the men with whom we had to contend. Boy was I wrong. It sometimes seems that there are even more of the Paris and Brittanys out there. Too bad that some women still do not get it. But then they may only watch afternoon soaps to get their role models. After all it was Donna Brazile and Nancy Pelosi among others who gave the candidacy to Barak Obama. Just like in the real word, the leadership positions are given to the least qualified man over the most qualified woman. It is so frustrating to see the backstabbing women when you are trying to elevate the status of us all. What is wrong with the MSM when they ask the question, will women support one of their own. You could see it in the primary when the women newscasters and pundits attacked Hillary. It was only the Obamaites who said women were only voting for Hillary because she was a woman and could not see thosethat those voters knew the real Obama and did not like what we knew. To the person who posted the supposed funny senario of the Palin interview. You belong in the bottom of the barrel with Obama.

Intelligentsia out in force?

The posters are choosing Obama and criticizing Palin? Good grief Charlie Brown. This fake man was chosen by the democratic leaders over the most qualified candidate who just happened to be a woman and now his supporters are dismissing Palin. Get real. Anyone who lets themselves be lead around by their noses by party leaders the likes of Pelosi, Dean, Brazile, Reid and others are neither real democrats or do not have the brains they were born with. Just like the Florida democrats who were thrown under the bus by Obama when it suited him and are now going to vote for him in November. Talk about accepting abuse. I follow Thomas Jefferson who said "All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent". Until the democrats get rid of the above mentioned leeches, this former democrat will go with the party who will change Washington for the better. At this point in time it isn't the democrats. They may have cheated Hillary but you will notice that her intregrity does not permit her to, like Sebelius and Napolitano, talk about Obama's qualities (of which there are few) but only democratic policies. Right now she is the only honest democrat.

Rebecca feeds into the retoric that she condems

The original PUMAs means Party Unity Means Action but Rebecca would take the alternate meaning. The real Hillary supporters take their lead from their champion and continue to act with dignity but not coil in fear. We know Hillary does what she has to in order to remain viable but we know that she has not changed her opinion of the selected candidate. We do not have to burn our bras or slink over to the other side in order to follow the lead of our superior candidate. The majority of us are level headed, intelligent persons confident of our centrist positions. We are not the leftist faction of the party of either candidate who have to be the loudest kids on the block and make fools of ourselves. We know Chris Matthews for what he is and do not play his game. But we also know Obama and Michelle for what they are and will not go quietly into the night. The effective are the slow and steady not the flash in the pan. Our support of our candidate may not be the specticle that the media is looking for but it is effective and we in the end will obtain our objective. We do follow our great candidate and walk softly but carry a big stick for we do care about her. Do not negate our actions.

Original article: Isn't she lovely?

In the eye of the beholder

It is the Thursday after the Hillary speech and I have just now stumbled upon this article. I apparently have a different opinion than the writer of this article. The Michelle I saw was no different that the Michelle who said that she for the first time was proud of her country. What comments would you expect from her family. Her outside appearance has been enhanced by the Obama publicity machine but she is no different on the inside than the egocentric females who go to the plastic surgeons to make them beautiful. She should have been made aware by her handlers when the cameras panned her face during the Hillary Clinton speech on Wednesday, the anniversary of Womens Sufferage. Her distain could not be more evident. She is not interested in womens sufferage but only in HER rise to fame. This disgrace of a woman is to be our First Lady? As with her husband, the democrats have scraped the bottom of the barrel. I may be one of her harshest detractors and she has certainly not won over me. But then it takes more than one speech and a new frock to show me who you are. Come on Rebecca Traister. I had credited you for more intelligence than apparently you are showing.
