All of these questions really had me questioning my choices.<BR/><BR/>eghughitt~ You bring up a good question. <BR/><BR/>My original thought regarding supporting women was on a very local level. Neighbors, business owners, friends. That is not to say that I do not try my best to respect and support the choices of all women with my heart, words and pocketbook. <BR/><BR/>As far as who I will vote for in November, I cannot support a woman, man or monkey who is not pro-woman. I will not allow anyone to dictate what my daughter, my mummy or I do with our bodies. <BR/><BR/>I would never support any women who could potentially threaten my family's way of life. To be very blunt, choosing a Republican candidate would do so.<BR/><BR/>I truly believe that the Republican Party only chose Palin because she is a woman. Not for her experience or stellar record of service. They are hoping that women who want to see a woman in the White House will blindly vote for any woman and not necessarily vote with their policy beliefs.<BR/><BR/>With all of that said, I have made it a policy not to become a political blogger. My skin isn't thick enough.Gruppie Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08830401478500471807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134755525281712135.post-52052967870870976042008-09-07T08:24:00.000-05:002008-09-07T08:24:00.000-05:00Read with interest your comments in Courant today ...Read with interest your comments in Courant today (9-7-08 Palin's Story is Their Story, Too), so thought I'd check out your blog. I'm a Democrat for Hillary too, but there is absolutely no way I will vote for Obama after what he and the DNC and the media did to her. But what surprised and saddened me was to read your own blog. Look at what you are quoted in the paper as saying vs what you are writing in your blog.<BR/><BR/>You wrote: "When will women step-up and support each other?" and "Here is my call to all of my female readers; Support the women in your life. Whatever her choices are." <BR/><BR/>Do you mean, support them as long as they believe exactly what you believe? Or only if you know them personally?EGHughitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140158416620206393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134755525281712135.post-26211960159462940342008-09-05T10:54:00.000-05:002008-09-05T10:54:00.000-05:00Right on! in the same vein - now that I am a gradu...Right on! <BR/><BR/>in the same vein - now that I am a graduate student, people (men too) assume I have SOOOO much time on my hands. And even if I did (which alas I do not) what I do with that time is my choice.Akkirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12448133755067849396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134755525281712135.post-3220984577120410982008-09-05T01:39:00.000-05:002008-09-05T01:39:00.000-05:00Thank you ... that was very well written!Thank you ... that was very well written!Jeri Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16234656255429756573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134755525281712135.post-70998280640752571332008-09-03T19:48:00.000-05:002008-09-03T19:48:00.000-05:00Half day kindergarten is no different than prescho...Half day kindergarten is no different than preschool, time-wise - as you well know.<BR/><BR/>It's sad that we women are often each other's harshest critics - but perhaps that's always been the case.

No interests other than work? Wow.
