They've been trumpeting lots of other stuff, but I hadn't noticed a great concern for women. I know the left has been concerned over that. Objection, your honor. X, X, X... my faithful alter consciousness, or conscience, whatever. While I was at one time a dedicated yellow canine type democrat, and lover of humanity and all things fair, I have of late developed an appreciation for various "conservative" concerns. As such I am aware that I have identified myself with the unenlightened, the haters, shallow-minded, selfish, and not to mention war-mongers. I'm just getting old, I know. The Germans say if you are young and not socialist you have no heart. There is a follow up to that sentence, but it is not really useful here. That is about it on the subject. I read the Kissers and occasionally I have this urge to let an objection be noted for the record, lest all motions seem to pass by unanimous consent. Besides I have 3 daughters (and miraculously have managed to bamboozle my poor naive wife into sticking around), so I would hate to have them discover that I am against their interests without lodging so much as a whimper in protest. (Anyway, they won't tolerate anything resembling rebellion from my quarter). Looks like a beautiful day here. I think I'll go out and kick the dog in case she is thinking of having a good time.

RE:They've been trumpeting lots of other stuff, but I hadn't noticed a great concern for women. Well, do you not consider Colin Powell to be right wing or is he off the hook because he is of African descent? I heard him say that the Taliban should be removed just for their treatment of women. I believe the right wing is not in favour of having women in combat situations. Wouldn't you consider that to be concern for women? There are several women appointed by Bush in his administration. There are even RIGHT WINGERS WHO ARE WOMEN, including my dear wife and many of our friends. How about that? Please surprise me by responding with an intelligent response instead of just a personal attack as is what you seem to prefer to do.
