Morality is not determined by the church you attend nor the faith you embrace. It is determined by the quality of your character and the positive impact you have on those you meet along your journey
Former first lady Laura Bush hinted this week that she would rather see Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office than Donald Trump, saying she wants the next president to be someone who cares about women in Afghanistan.
“I want our next president — whoever he or she might be — to be somebody who is interested in women in Afghanistan and who will continue U.S. policies … that we continue to do what we’re committed to do as a country,” Mrs. Bush said during the annual Women in the World summit in New York, according to the Telegraph.
“That’s who I want — or the kind of people that will do that and will pay attention to our history, and know what’s happened before and know specifically how we can continue to do the good things that we do around the world,” Mrs. Bush added.
I have a feeling that a WHOLE LOT of Republican women will vote for Hillary Clinton over Ted Cruz or Donald Trump if those are there only choices.
I watched as much as I could of the dedication of the George W. Bush library today, but I had to stop because of medical reasons, in that every time somebody complimented him I banged my head on my desk until I almost passed out.
Every one of the people in that picture up above, some of them who I greatly admire, kissed his ass and made nice until my gag reflex went into hyper-drive.
And the whole time I kept thinking, "A library? They built him a library? What's it full of coloring books and one famous version of "My Pet Goat?"
But then I found this graphic on Reddit, and it all made sense.
Ahh, now I get it!
By the way I NEVER agree with the Bush family on anything, but I have to admit that I am in (almost)total agreement with Barbara Bush:
Appearing in an interview from Dallas on NBC's Today show, Mrs. Bush, the wife of President George H.W. Bush, was asked if she thought that her son Jeb, the former governor of Florida, should seek the presidency.
"He's by far the best qualified," Mrs. Bush said, "but no."
"We've had enough Bushes," she said.
Okay well obviously I don't agree with the most qualified bit, but I am all over that last line.
“Planned Parenthood was my health care provider when I didn’t have insurance after I graduated from college,” the “Hunger Games” star says in a video released on President Barack Obama’s YouTube channel on Wednesday. “Yes, I got birth control, but it was for my massive migraine headaches and my heavy flow. Yeah, I’m on the record saying I have a heavy flow.”
“The services that they provide — what is it? Ninety-five percent of them don’t involve anything controversial. So for that little 5 percent that Mitt Romney decides he doesn’t agree with, he’s going to take away cancer screenings?” Banks continues. “What is he doing? He’s going to take away people’s access to health care close by. We’re talking about working-class ladies who need health care.”
“President Obama has not compromised on women’s rights and that’s why President Obama needs to stay in office,” she concludes.
Okay well of course my headline was mostly tongue in cheek except the part about Elizabeth Banks being the "hot girl" in the FYOV movie. That is where I first noticed her and have been a fan ever since.
However the point she makes in this ad is of course a very important one for women to realize. The mission of Planned Parenthood is to provide health care services, and educational services, to people who need them, NOT to promote abortion as the Right Wing would have us believe.
Mitt Romney has jumped on the bandwagon to vilify Planned Parenthood and has even said he will "get rid of it." That is an incredibly ignorant and insensitive statement to make.
In my opinion NO woman who cares about other women could possibly support the Republican ticket in 2012.
By the way I am still a huge fan of Elizabeth Banks, and her "heavy flow" admission does NOTHING to deter my admiration. (And how cool is it that the actress who played Laura Bush in Oliver Stone's movie "W" is making this ad for the President?)
