A Ladies Man Of Sorts
All of us here at Dakota, being old time feministas of a certain demographic, would have been enthusiastic Hillary supporters had she not allowed her blind ambition and narcissistic entitlement to weaken her grasp on reality. We didn't feel we needed another one of those at the helm. We did however find her Saturday concession speech quite satisfying, if belated.
In any case, we thought we'd gather a few facts together for those members of our cohort who are in such a kerfuffel that they are threatening to vote for John McCain. The man is a real lady killer.
Here's a quick, but damning, summary if you're pressed for time. If not, NARAL has compiled a three page fact sheet about his reproductive policies. It's in PDF for some bizarre reason., so you'll have to do a little clicking to get it, or perhaps you'd rather watch the movie. He also voted against stronger legislation to prevent domestic terrorism against women at abortion clinics
We're not crazy about the fact that he doesn't think women deserve equal pay for equal work, that he doesn't have a clue about what the initials LGBT stand for, not to mention understanding what their issues might be, and that he excused buddy after buddy for their bad behavior during an interview with PBS about the Tailhook.
Frankly, it's how he treats his wives that we find most disturbing. There is, of course, wife number one, Carol who still adores him, whom he dumped precipitously for wife number two, Cindy, the recovered percocet/vicodin addict, and recipient of the famous "cunt" expletive.
What's more, the guy doesn't know how to use a computer, but you really don't have to know if you have a good secretary.
