I am woman, hear me roar.

In this week's U.S. News and World Report there is a article on the female vote this year. The "security moms" who lean to Bush and the unmarried women who lean toward Kerry. People who don't pay attention to what our leaders believe and want for our country just drive me insane. One woman in the article, Elizabeth Holland who is a nurse and is 55, says she likes Bush but felt he was "too wishy washy" on renewing the assault weapon ban. (Bush had nothing to do with the expiration of the ban, congress did) But she says about Kerry that she is "not impressed with him at all." OK, if you don't have enough information on these 2 candidates regarding the VAST differences between them and you are gonna decide on who your voting for by the way you "feel," then please stay home and watch Oprah on election day.
This whole article made me embarrassed for my gender. It made us look like idiots. Take 50 yr old Kaysee Clark. She is offended by Bush's "cowboy testosterone." but she says Kerry seems distant, lacking a "personal touch," and vague or vacillating on the issues. Are these any reasons to vote for a president??? Maybe its a way of deciding who to DATE, but NOT THE LEADER OF THE FREAKING FREE WORLD!!!
I don't expect all women to be a politcal junkie like I am, but I do expect a reasonable knowledge of the issues in order to make a informed decision. This is important stuff here. We didn't fight to win the vote to stumble through our lives not understanding how these leaders affect our future and the future of our children.
