Sounds like it portrayed conservatives in the same stereotypical way as that lousy American President film and others like it.
So in this movie the VP nominee wants a strong military for the US because we have to go out and fight genocide in the world? Oh, but I thought the US was never supposed to act unilaterally if there is no direct threat to our security!
I forget if it was Ann or another conservative female writer who said at the time this film made it sound as if women in politics are held to a much higher standard and are always victims on sexism. In the real world, the opposite is usually true. After all, how did an incompetent and unqualified character like Carol Mosely-Braun get to be a US senator from a major state?? And the list goes on.
Yeah, she doesn't want a strong military to engage in real wars with real enemies, but rather to go around the globe under UN control policing places like Kosovo and picking up the garbage. You know - - the Clinton military model.
