I am going to digress from my usual theme of familial comedy to talk about politics for a moment. Well, I want to talk about NON-politics for a moment. I don't follow politics anymore. Too stressful. I am registered Democrat. I don't believe 100% with the Democratic platform, but if someone who is corrupt and lacks integrity is going to become the leader of the free world, it may as well be a Democrat. However, a female fellow-blogger posted about Ron Paul. Ok, well, his politics sound pretty good. John Edwards, he is a Democrat and he looks like a president anyway. Barack Obama, a little wimpy for me. That leaves us with (for all intents and purposes) Hillary Clinton.
I will vote for Hillary Clinton. Not because I agree with all of her politics, but I don't agree with the politics of any one candidate. I will vote for Hillary Clinton because she is a woman. And in my humble opinion women have an obligation to vote for Hillary Clinton. By 2008 women will only have had the right to vote for 38% of this nation's history. Now we have the opportunity to put a woman in office when we have only been allowed to vote for 90 years. Effie Hobby recently remembered the days of the fight for women's suffrage, she could remember when women could not vote. Note: Effie Hobby would be 110 today, and I cannot find any record of her death.
So I believe women now have an obligation to vote for Hillary Clinton. Because Hillary Clinton will not be remembered for her politics. Hillary Clinton will be remembered for being the first woman President of the United States.
