Remember the Ladies....
Seems like as women voters, we've been remembered.
Democrats are scratching their heads and saying: Why aren't all the ladies with us?
There are dark looks of anxiety and whispers of "security moms," spoken like they were traitors to the cause.
Kerry starts to spout an orange skin glow in search of the perfect tan. He hits the daytime women audienced talk shows. He tries to look cool playing soccer and football. His attempt to do the JFKennedy thing is painful in its awkwardness.
NOW members start playing "Women's Rights are in danger" card. Trying to drag women voters back to their proper concerns, NOW's Linda Berg lectures that: "As we enter 2004, few remember a time in our political history where women's rights were more in jeopardy." And speaking at a NARAL dinner last year, Kerry insisted, "Never in my years in the Senate have the rights of women been at such risk ... as they are by this administration."
Although it seems that many pundits and feminist leaders think that women should be free and equal in all ways except having the ability to freely choose their political candidate, women are showing they are not tools to be taken for granted, but each individually have their own motivation.
The old assumptions just aren't as true.

Why do politicians and feminists assume the only right a woman is concerned about is the right to abort an unborn child? And what are these rights Kerry's referring to that the Bush Administration has stolen from me?
I still have the right to vote. And I will exercise it accordingly.
