Sure women should be in politics. . as long as they are not there just because they are women. I know I know if you listen to the outspoken women that are already in politics and the media you walk away feeling like they think everything is an entitlement. But don’t be overly judgmental. You can’t blame women for wanting things and wanting other people to pay for it. Everyone is like that. . ESPECIALLY in Washington. .
Kirsten Gillibrand is the Senator from New York. She took over the seat when Hillary vacated it to become Secretary of State. I agree Hillary would make a good Secretary. . but in an office someplace not as Secretary of State. She pretty much sucks at handling people, especially Ben Netanyahu, people in power don’t like to be told what to do by somebody with a lower title from another country. Anyway. . .
Kirsten Gillibrand says she is going to ask Hillary to run for President in 2016. Well. . you knew somebody was going to but maybe not five years in advance. I wonder if Gillibrand is already sending out birthday invitations for her birthday party for the year 2016 too.
Gillibrand also said she agrees with Hillary on women’s reproductive rights being under attack. . . Yeah I heard the Hillary rant. I dismissed it as political posturing by Hillary, who never has missed an opportunity to posture, get a sound bite or a photo op. (even though he is really filling out, especially in her face, and should reconsider her stand on photo ops).
I’m not sure who exactly she is talking about when she says women’s rights are being attacked though. If it’s Santorum, he’s attacking EVERYONE”S reproductive rights and not just the women. If she is talking about the GOP not wanting to have birth control in the Obama-care health debacle she is misleading us.
It’s true Washington and the Media are trying to define contraception as a health issue. And in an attempt to garner up more support and incite anger they are calling it a “women’s health issue”. Come on people, think about it. Contraception is not a health issue it’s a lifestyle choice. Now if you want to start putting lifestyle choices in the Obama-care quasi plan, I’m thinking free rum and cokes and medical marajuhoohoo. After all they relieve stress and stress is a medical condition and can lead to strokes and heart attacks acks acks.
The truth is IF there is to be an Universal health care plan at all it must be affordable. More along a line of a major medical plan. Having coverage that pays for preventive check ups, school physicals, and contraception might be nice but it would be too expensive. Use your head you know I’m right.
