Dear Ken,

To be honest, I don't know enough about Mrs. Dole to form an opinion of her personally. But it is a hard and fast rule of mine to not vote for women. From what I have seen the vast majority of women in politics are liberal N.O.W. graduates who would save me from the drudgery of being a housewife and the opression of my husband. (I guess they think I'm too opressed to realize that I am being opressed.) They promote abortion, yet they want the village to raise my children. Since women entered politics in this country, housewives are considered no more productive than welfare recipients.  In fact, you can't even use the word housewife anymore, you have to use the PC term "Stay-at-home-mom" and that is only until the children reach school age. I was a wife long before I was a mother - a novel concept these days. But they insist on telling me that I can be so much more than that and do something really important. As if seeing to the needs of my family is not important.

I, like Ann Coulter, would gladly give up my right to vote if it would keep feminists and their castrated lapdogs from control. Whatever happend to "It is un lady-like to discuss politics in polite company?" My guess is that we don't have anything resmbling polite company these days.

But, my misogyny aside, a woman in the white house is a bad idea. A woman entering into diplomatic negotiations with Muslim leaders, would be like a black man going for a friendly chat with the KKK.

That is the first time I've heard Neo-Cons and moderate used in the same sentence.  It doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  The "Neo-Cons" are the farthest from moderate that you can get.  I would agree with the first two legs of your theory, but the third is simply a group of very rich, very powerful people that use mass distraction to cover up the fact that they are raping the country of its resources.

Went to the barber for a haircut today and heard some interesting talk about Bush and the coming election.

The subject was how many and who will GWB pardon before he leaves office? I'm assuming he'll wait until after the November election, christmas eve was the day his father chose, but I'm sure most of us expect that Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Wolfpwitz and who knows who else in Haliburton, KBR, DoJ, DoD and the intelligence services will be getting the presidential get out of jail free card however it is thought that GWB cannot pardon himself.. So should McCain, or who ever the GOP nominee is, publicly promise not to pardon GWB? Is the issue one that should be brought up going forward? How would this issue affect your voting decision?

DomKen, I don't think you can be "pardoned" unless you've been convicted of something in a court of law.
You're presumed innocent until proven guilty so how would you "pardon" an innocent person?

I guess this is why Hillary got so much flack from conservatives,when she said she wouldn`t be baking cookies at the white house.

One can only dream....

"Whatever happend to "It is un lady-like to discuss politics in polite company?" My guess is that we don't have anything resmbling polite company these days."

Oh, those were "the days" without child labor laws and lynching black men was all the rage.

You could do almost anything to black people back then,legally.But that didn`t stop people from doing the illegal things either.

Women and UMs were property,and booze was the "crack" of it`s day.

Abuse and neglect went un-checked,because of the "man of the house" BS.Women were sent back home to their deaths by police b/c the laws were set up by men,for men,"back then"

Back alley abortion and death by it`s complications was common and most rapes went un-reported.

If you were elderly and with out money/family/friends,you starved and died homeless in the gutter.

If you were retarded or unable to care for yourself,you were fucked.Unless you were "lucky" enough to be tossed into an insane asylum.

"Back then",they were real "fun" places....

Anyone who wound up this way,was fucked.

Yeah,the "good-ol days"

Is that what you want to go back to?

What happened to those "good old days"?We got rid of them.Sorry.

There really is no such thing as the good old days. Just that I notice you have a tendency to use extreme examples when you do not like something, or you wish to demean someone.

In times past, a better sense of community and a closer knit family unit, are some of the things of the past I would like to see happen again. I would like to see individualism come back, instead of being rewarded for being medicore and being part of the sheep.

ok, so laws against Redlining don`t create freedom?

How about the freedom to buy a house were you want?

Or the freedom to get a loan/mortgage,insurance or credit if you are black/gay/jewish?

They had restrictive covenants in the good old days.I guess laws against those don`t help people be treated equal and as "individuals".

Recently I visited a library in a neat little town in Jersey.It has a long history and a lot of very pretty "ginger-bread" homes.

I was thumbing through a photo album of the town`s history when I saw a picture of the front gate(it was a gated community more than 70 years ago) that went over the side walk entrance.

The gate was ornate with an arch and village`s name  across the archway overhead .Grainy and yellow but a good shot.

To the right was a sign hanging on the archway saying"

"No Peddlers,No Jews"

Yup,The good old days...there were so fewer laws back then.It was a panacea.
