I did not put forth a "strawman" as you put it because you clearly said Laura Bush had NO RIGHT to speak about policy.

Please read your own post. I never said that she had "no right" - you even pointed out that i didn't use those words in your post.

I pointed out very clearly in both posts that the First Lady's words have consequences to more than just herself. Her words affect the whole base. If John Q Public says something then he not much damage can be done, but if the First Lady says something like "The war in Iraq was a mistake" then it carries a lot of weight.

That is why she has no business commenting on public policy. Her role in the Whitehouse is that of a wife - that is it. If a woman were elected president then her husband shouldn't have any role beyond being a husband either.

Bunch of junk. Laura Bush can go out and speak on her husband's policies in the War every day and she should be applauded for helping the cause. She will reach audiences that her husband can't.

Your saying she cannot speak on important issues indicates serious issues with women.

Like a said, you've got problems.

Why are you obsessed with denying Laura Bush's rights?

What a curious problem you have.......
