Not at all B&G: I do not advocate personal attacks against family by anyone for anyone.

Chelsea was cared for while Hillary and Bill were both working* or at least not home!

I don't know if you saw her at Hillary's speech last week but she turned out to be very hot, much to my surprise and maybe a few others too. The point was that Todd would not be Salmon fishing quite as much in Washington, and if the concept of equality is ever to gain traction, then it is simply outrageous to designate "womens" roles to a female who doesn't fit the Naral mold or ideal of how to achieve success or career advancement?

*lets just go with working so as not to get sidetracked !

My comment did not pertain to "any woman in a powerful and time consuming position." It pertained to a woman who consistently holds herself out as the mother of five children - one with "special needs" - and has publically pledged to support and help raise her grandchild to be. Thus the "mommy title." Additionally, she now has demonstrated she has limited experience in public office and even less in any real decision making. Thus the "playing governor" portion of the comment.

You know, deadserious,"most women" aren't any one thing. However, your repeated insistance that they are is a more than adequate illustration of one of the biggest problems the republican party is presently facing.

OK, LA then by that reasoning the only way this country would ever have a woman as Prez or VP is if she were a widow, divorcee or dyke?
Oh wait....too old, kids grown up and gone............Hey....that should have been Hillary! wink

So if I understand some of the comments correctly, a woman can only be VP or Pres if she has no children or is older and has already raised a family. Talk about a double standard. That sets women back. Oddly it seems more females are of this opinion than males or that is my impression as I do not know all posters gender. And where is it proven that a woman should be the primary caregiver? I do not question the nuturing qualities of a mother. But if BHO can be away from home while he has 2 very young children it only seems that SP can be away while she has a husband and older children to care for her family. I am not taking sides, as I am looking from the outside in both windows.

I think I had just stated that most women aren't any one thing. So I'm confused by your statement.

rykat, you must learn to read all the way to the bottom of a post before jumping in. wink

Now go back and read my second paragraph, apply all of the reasoning skills you have (despite what many believe, I know you actually have some wink ) and see if you can't perhaps come to a just slightly different conclusion. smile

2 aggies - ditto to my last post to rykat, except in your case I'm not so sure about whether you possess reasoning skills

LA - so I don't type so fast. As to whether you know what skills I possess you are awfully quick to attack someone you know nothing about. This is a great example of how these threads turn mean.
