"I really have always been a little bit irritated by criticism of abstinence because abstinence is absolutely, 100 percent effective in fighting a sexually transmittable disease," she said. "When girls are not empowered, girls are vulnerable, and their chances of being able to negotiate their sexual life with their partners and to make their partner chose a condom are very low."
This is a powerful message. It seperates the Republicans from Democrats and the Republicans from the Media!
I just heard First Lady Barbara Bush (I'm so proud of her) interviewed on the plane - they said the interview went 8 min but I heard 1 min of Laura Bush and then the blinkette, blonkette, reporterette or whatever 'ette' they go by - finish up with their opinion of what was said.
I want to hear First Lady Laura Bush give the media that message!!!
Then I challenge bill clinton, who is on a AIDS mission, to say the same!!!!! It will take more than money. But we all know and have read how bill clinton really feels about these missions - he was telling Tony Blair there is life after a leadership role. You can get rich!!!!! The money lines his pockets.
I read somewhere that a grat majority of Americans including Dems have a very 'favorable' view of Laura Bush.....so I think that's why the media doesn't show her or quote her very much.
People might connect her with her husband & that might help his 'favorables' and, as we know, the MSM cannot let that happen......so they ignore the (very popular & admired) First Lady while continuing to bash the President!
