But in the year 2008, you would think women would better be able to spot that kind of brainwashing. Much as I agree with where the behavior comes from, there may be an excuse for young women to buy into advertising and peer pressure and not know any better, but once a woman has been out in the world, fending for herself and/or raising a family, there comes a point when one has to make a decision about whose principles prevail -- someone else's or one's own. I was raised in a ridiculously patriarchal environment where women were shamed constantly, yet no one could convince me that women were not capable of being in charge. I knew better from a very young age. If a woman doesn't trust herself, she is probably not going to trust another woman. Absolutely, Lorac.

After Afganistan, Wall street bailout, no help for Main street, no public option HC etc, they are disappointed with Obama. Surprize,surprize... They were quick to label others who criticezed BO as racists. They are "racists" now too. Check the new and improved HP now. After Afganistan, Wall street bailout, no help for

I come across too many women who spew such hatred towards Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin especially but coo about the men in office. I just don't get it.

However, in all honesty, she has lost the support of my family. They do not follow politics as closely as I, but were life-long dems, and always voted. If John McCain had gotten the Republican nomination against George W. Bush, we would have voted McCain over Gore, and we reside in TN.!

The elephant in the room is the obvious conclusion that the <em>wealthiest</em> should be paying more, because they've already got 95% of the wealth, and because they continue to benefit far and away the most from the system we've got. <strong>They have a certain obligation to the pyramid below that supports the privilaged pinnacle they occupy, without which they would be <em>nothing</em></strong>. The perennial republican misdirection is to convince the common man that any talk of increased taxes is targeting <em>him</em>. I see through their duplicity. They support a very expensive war, for example, and howl about deficits, but they won't for a moment entertain the idea of specific taxation to <em>pay</em> for it. What does that reveal?
