I said, "women's civil rights"... It was the most memorable part of her speech at the convention.
Women won their civil rights quite a while ago. They even have a few rights men don't have...
Like deciding what to do with a baby when they're pregnant. What about the husband? I think the husband should be in on that choice... Or better yet, take away that choice and just tell people not to get pregnant if they don't want a baby.
Come debate time, I think GW needs to set the ground rules.
1. You can talk about my presidency. I can talk about your senate record.
2. Vietnam is off the table. I am giving you a pass senator. Your heroics are to be admired. However the day you got back from Nam is on the table. You ran for office based on that. Makes it public knowledge.
3. Going negative is on the table unless right now you declare that only the Kerry and Bush campaign teams can fund and air media ads.
4. From now until election day, the media can only report facts and not editorialize their preferences and who they endorse. That, after all senator is what we call free press and you managed to get it for over a year now. If you tell the press to knock it off, I will also.
5. 9/11 is on the table. That defines my presidency and you have every right to criticize it if you so desire. However, if you choose to talk about my 7 minutes reading to the children after the first plane hit, I will talk about the 45 minutes you sat frozen watching it on TV.
6. Iraq and the WoT is on the table. Please feel free to take "a" position and speak out for/against it. As I will do the same. However, if you choose to condemn my actions, I will bring up every flip flop you made. In addition, if you decide to play the "unilateralism card", I will most definitely bring up the 39 nations that we are working with in Iraq.
7. Our domestic agendas are on the table. Please tell the nation every bill you passed concerning your strong beliefs in domestic tranquility, equal opportunity, job creation, education reform and health care benefits. I will talk about No child left behind, the prescription drug bill, creating a couple of million jobs after the devastating effects of 9/11 and Clintons recession and how my cabinet has more diversity than any administration in history.
8. Abortion, gay marriage and stem cell research are not political, but moral issues that I do not plan on addressing in this campaign. However if you feel the need to address these issues to the country, I will gladly state my beliefs.
9. Please feel free to tell the country how you wish to repeal the second amendment. I will not stand in your way nor will I offer an opposing view. It is part of the Constitution and that is where it will stay.
10. I plan on telling the nation about our anti ballistic missile shield and because of it we have effectively isolated North Korea, Iran and other countries trying to develop a long range nuclear capability. You can agree with my policy or not. Your choice.
11. Finally Senator and this is off the record, if your campaign chooses to go negative on me or my family, I will personally do everything in my power to see that you are brought up on charges as a war criminal, communist sympathizer and enemy of the state. I will use your meetings with the North Vietnamese, Cubans, Sandinistas and will even bring up your wifes support of the Cubans and every communist organization that is doing what it can to sabotage my presidency. I will have your wifes books audited on a weekly basis and will do the same for every socialist in Hollywood. Understand something senator, "You don't mess with Texas."
