Oy. I think you just insulted virtually everyone in one post, lol

Also, I find them both to be quite shrill.

A pleasant, optimistic reformer who should (according to many in her party) be home changing her four year old's diapers??

But aside from that - you cannot say she isn't running for president when the VP can easily be president.
How did you feel about Edwards as Kerry's VP? How about Kaine as Obama's VP. I don' recall any serious criticisms about Kaine being too inexperienced.

Is that because he is male? Sexism is alive and well.

Of course not! You just proved my point by naming Gloria Steinem! The left cant comprehend how a woman that is attractive, smart, wears makeup and is conservative can possibly help woman advance, yet they are quietly doing it, and the feminist resent them for it!

Don't you agree with those in your party who think she should be home with her baby?? I mean, a 3 day maternity leave? I thought the GOP was not ok with that?

I supported Edwards as president (before I knew about his affair, of course) - he was my top choice.

I wanted him as VP until I found out about the affair...then I was pushing for Biden all the way.

Anything else?

Now Mimmi listen carefully I will help you through this. I can only assume what you are actually talking about, is the GOP not believing that companies should be MANDATED by LAW to give maternity leave! I believe a woman has the right to choose if she wants to stay home or go to work! You know? Pro Choice!

You tell me where it says that the GOP is in favor of equal rights for women in the workplace.
