Teresa Heinz Kerry vs. Laura BushFollow

Alright I want it, please. I did a meager amount of reading by my fellow scholar's standards.. but here it is.

Laura Bush: Philanthropist because.... of waiving the flag of child literacy rates? I need the right wingers to tell me something credible about this woman please, that's all I care to see.

THK: Rich, but smart, b.itch that speaks her mind, has a lust for men with power, has about 8 honorary doctrates, and wants to..
-- Victoria Griffith

My ex, who left me for her doubts of me, once said to me. "I don't want to be a princess, I want to be a powerful Queen. And a powerful Queen isn't someone who is seen with her own views, her power can only be seen THROUGH the King. And a powerful force it is." - douche that left me.

Now, ya want a CURRENT first lady that waves the pink little flag in the sandbox, of which no one can openly criticize with teeth? Or do you want a woman who recognizes power, and wants to channel that to actually support HER views on what she thinks we need?

Please take it easy on me, I'm as fresh as a f.uckin daisy. And would SOMEBODY please tell me how to swear in an email, I swear ill use it CONSERVATIVELY.

Again, I don't see why people are making such a big deal about Heinz Kerry or Laura Bush...

I'd have to agree with Lordimsorry on this one, I agree that yes these women will have an influence on their husbands if they win the election, but at the end of the day it's not them making the decisions. Either way, I'm not much on politics, so if I sound like I don't know what I'm talking about, then I most likely don't.

Laura Bush has NOT been in the forefront the way Hillary was. Hillary took the job of First Lady above and beyond that of any predecessor in my lifetime.

As to whether Laura is capable of doing so; probably. Will it ever happen? No. She's married to a man who wears his beliefs on his shoulder. Those personal beliefs are typical right-wing. That means the First Lady stays in the background.

I'm still holding my breath for our first woman President. Then we'll get to see what the GOP thinks the role of the First Gentleman should be.

As to what *I* would prefer. I prefer a woman that speaks and supports her opinion. Hillary was so outspoken and worked so much towards her goals that the GOP has done what they can to set Laura Bush apart from that by making her stay in the background a lot more. A bad decision. A sexist decision. A decison I hope will not be repeated in the future.

Seriously, it's time that we buried the 'the woman's place is in the kitchen' attitude that still lingers in some men's minds in this country. And, of course, it's prevalent in right-wingers with the heaviest concentration being in the bible thumpers.

There are some who take me for a conservative because I don't like Kerry and I occasionally speak up for GWB instead of bashing him in every post I make. The truth is, I'm conservative on some issues, liberal on others. Many issues, I walk the middle of the road. No matter where my opinion lies in the political spectrum, it's still just that: my opinion. You're entitled to yours.

Laura Bush is a frigging Stepford Wife. The same type of vapid ***** that I grew up around in Alabama. She strikes me as completely fake. A perfect match for G. Bush.

I don't know a lot about Heinz-Kerry. I seen her be a bit brash, but I think that's a good thing.

Mobile my ***...hell no.

I'm from the pretty part. I lived in Alexander City, Tallapoosa County about 45 minutes south of B'ham and about 40 minutes north of Montgomery and Auburn....Lake Martin area.

Americans DO NOT elect the First Lady, this is an honorary title with no specific guidelines that I'm aware of as to how she is to conduct herself other than in support of her husband and the country's morals and values. Yes, some people look at the wife of the candidates, that is to better understand the man running for office. I'm not saying the First Lady needs to be barefoot, pregnant and chained to the stove. What I believe is that it is not her place to be making policy or heading commitees researching or influencing government policy,since she is not an elected government official. The same belief would be held if it was the First Gentleman instead of Lady.

Hillary was is not the only first ladie to be in the spot light. Eleanor Roosevelt was very active on social issues and speaking in public, I believe she even held press conferences.

If the First Lady is going to have a more prominent role in the White House then she should be an elected official or be made a member of the cabinet.
