"W is for Women" ???

[Iris]

Ok, I know this is an old bumper sticker, but I saw it on the way home from work today.

So, I've got to wonder HOW is he for women? Just put the abortion issue aside. What does he do to help women?

How does war help women? Seriously, when has there EVER been a war that was helpful to women?

What about healthcare? How does W contribute to women getting adequate and timely healcare, even if they are not insured?

How does making the rich richer help the average woman? Working longer and longer hours with little or no paid time off and the constant threat of having your job shipped overseas or simply eliminated to make the bottom line look good to a company's stockholders - is that good for women?


I just don't get it. I will never, ever, ever understand how half of this country could be duped by this administration.

1. It makes no logical sense.

However, the women who I know who love Dear Leader, like their men MACHISMO and just plain overbearing.

It's an, IMO, insane kind of perspective but some women think it's sexy to be ultra demure and submissive. :shrug:

3. "like their men MACHISMO and just plain overbearing"

And in my experience, these guys are merely mama's boys underneath their bravado.

4. Other than making a catchy slogan, it is BS!

8. Facts do not matter

Only meaningless sloganeering matters these days. Jack London figured it out a hundred years ago.

9. Sure he does. Just look what he did for women earlier this year...

"The federal government has a national breast and cervical cancer early detection program, run by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It provides screening and other important services to low-income women who do not have health insurance, or are underinsured.

There is agreement across the board that the program is a success. It saves lives and it saves money. Its biggest problem is that it doesn't reach enough women. At the moment there is only enough funding to screen one in five eligible women.

A sensible policy position for the Bush administration would be to expand funding for the program so that it reached everyone who was eligible. It terms of overall federal spending, the result would be a net decrease. Preventing cancer, or treating it early, is a lot less expensive than treating advanced cancer.

So what did this president do? He proposed a cut in the program of $1.4 million (a minuscule amount when you're talking about the national budget), which would mean that 4,000 fewer women would have access to early detection..."

And clown boy did much more: He cut literally every one of the National Cancer Institute's cancer-specific programs.
