A tiny few of women may be considering to vote Republican, but I have to ask why?

It is the Democratic Party that has given you everything, from taking care of your health care, the right to abort your fetus, your children's education and help advancing in a male-dominated world through affirmative action.

Republicans will take away every last bit of that. They destroy the environment of Mother Nature.

John Kerry and the Democratic Party need your support to stop Republicans, look at all pro-government people like Democrats have given you, consider it for a moment and then realize that all we need in return is your vote. You owe it to your country, without Democrats by your side, women today would be at the helpless leash of a male dominated society.

Vote Democrat this November! The fate of not just the country but the entire world, the entire universe depends on it!

Okay, first of all it's a lot more than a tiny few women who vote Republican. How has the Democratic party taken care of my health care, may I ask? My husband and I earn our healthcare by having put ourselves through school and working hard at jobs that help provide it to us and our children. I certainly don't want my healthcare taken over by the federal government, our children have had many medical problems and I thank God every day that I have had access to the best medical care on the planet. Since I am a woman you assume I must automatically support unrestricted access to abortion-I don't want the right to abort a fetus, thank you very much. I believe the ease and accessibility of abortion has done great HARM to the women of this country, not helped them. Affirmative action will NOT help me in a male dominated world-it is basically saying I need extra help to get ahead because I am somehow inferior to men-I don't believe that. I believe in equal rights and opportunity for all, not special treatment that tells the world "I'm not good enough to make it on my own without something being handed to me".

< You owe it to your country, without Democrats by your side, women today would be at the helpless leash of a male dominated society.>

Sorry, but IMO the Democrats ARE the most paternalistic party-they believe individuals are not capable of making their own decisions about their own futures and their own money-they want to take more of our money and spend it as THEY see fit, not as WE see fit. They believe government should be involved in every aspect of our family life (it takes a village, you know) and should redistribute what working people earn to those who won't take responsibility for themselves. They believe in regulate, regulate, and regulate some more. That's not a leash I want to be attached to, thanks.

dear Jodie,

I don`t think so, but I am not able to defend me in the next time, because I have epilepsy and going to hospital.

bye
