One of my neighbors has an Obama bumper sticker "Women for Obama" or
some such thing. Most Democrat candidates get some sort of majority of
women voters. I don't find this particularly surprising as the
Democrats have a lengthy record of pitching themselves as the caring
party. However, the recent record of national-level Democrats seems
pretty dismal in the good for women category if you consider their
wives.
John Edwards is the latest guy to be caught making his poor wife stand
out in front of God and Everybody and listen to him deny an affair
knowing full well that what their husband is saying is a lie. Bill
Clinton, Jim McGreevy, New York governor Elliot Spitzer and the man who
took over the Governor's mansion David Patterson have acknowledged
affairs.
I am not quite as good a husband as I would like to be and I have done
plenty to break my wife's heart in word and deed, but so far I haven't
done this. Part of it is a healthy fear of waking up with St. Peter
having an angel extract an aluminum bat from my skull, but part of it
is the knowledge that there is almost nothing I could do that would
wound Gemey more.
To be clear, any fool can make an egregious error and I intend neither
to pile on or impugn an entire party for the sins of a few. However,
you would think that a man who claims that his ideas are best for women
would first and foremost be the best for his wife. Further, you would
think that a nation of women would wonder how a man who would break his
wife's heart could possibly be someone whose ideas were in the best
interests of women.
Is there anything more important to your average woman than her
family? How then can they anticipate solid leadership on issues that
pertain to the family from a party that seems to attract to the highest
levels such...pigs? Can you expect policies that spring from such men
to be all that beneficial to women?
I don't know how to hammer the point home any more than that. I know
that a substantial minority of women equate the easy access to abortion
to be the touchstone of being pro-woman. I can follow the logic of
reproductive freedom even if I am appalled at the conclusion. However,
even "reproductive freedom" has had the net effect of widening the
playing field of horn-dogs.
Obama is, as far as I can tell, a decent enough family man. He does
not deserve to have Edward's or the aforementioned rogue's gallery hung
around his neck personally. Still, the team he is leading seems to
have a lot of tolerance for such figures. I would be interested in
hearing Obama's views on the role of a husband and father in contrast
to how many of these high-profile political figures have conducted
their lives. |

| You must be speaking of John Edwards. He is only the latest in the wife cheaters. If I recall correctly before that there were several republicans caught up in gay and straight (call girl activities) I think it is so cute that they all trot out the little woman to be with them during thier crisis. Point is that it isnt just democrats asshole. |

I agree that being a reprobate is a bi-partisan activity, but it seems that GOP jerks get what they deserve, and Dems get a pass.
There was a time when a man so shamed would do the decent thing an disappear from polite company. |
