I'm sure this one will end up being another political arguement, but here it goes.

1. I don't hate Bush, but to be selfishly honest my son, his friends and my friends are more important to me than the Iraqi's. Women or no women. I hated the 'Nam war and I am not too happy about this one either. I think if it was about terrorists and Sept. 11 then we should have continued hunting down Osama and not split our troops. Also the honesty factor is a factor (I allow that most politicians are not honest, but when we have lost more than 1100 sons, fathers, brothers, and husbands it counts).

2. The abortion issue, that differs for everyone. I was more about the stem cell research, but I believe abortion is a decision that the child-bearing, nurturing female should make. Also, just because "women are the nurturing, child-bearing sex" does not mean that a woman isn't nurturing if she decides on having an abortion. Have you ever seen an unwanted child being beaten or starved to death. Just on the news last night a 16 month old and a 7 week old - starved to death BY MOM.

3. Thats great a woman will "be somebody" it should never make any difference to anyone Republicans or Democrats what sex or color a person is. Just the fact that it is thought of as a big deal shows how unrealistic men are about women.

Okay let the arrows fly. This is my opinion and I'm stickin' to it.
