Do you think that women who voted for Bush were abused at one point in their life?

I don't know about women but every American who did or didn't vote for Bush is being abused now!

Well, pretty good rule of thumb that a man's judgment may be impaired when a young intern is performing oral sex on him in the White house while he is conducting business relative to the well being of the nation.\n\nClinton shredded the military, and of course President Bush received the blame as he entered office and inherited that and many other messes.  Also, when the illusion of prosperity during Clinton's Presidency was revealed, such as Enron, World com, Quest, and a host of others, that of course was President Bush's fault also.\n\nAnd, have you noticed how the media refuses to refer to President Bush as President Bush?  Continually referring to him as on "Bush".  Incredibly disrespectful.  My mother says she is unaware of that lack of respect ever being shown for a President during her 81 years,

Your right with this, they seem to be concubines to the troops, but so were the Wac's and the Waves of WWII. Most of the women don't seam to mind with their lack of intelligence though. John Kerry really nailed this topic didn't he?

It's funny you mention this because a while back I thought of the same concept... They both are criminals in a way, but what Bush did cannot be forgotten nor forgiven... What Clinton did,  millions of people do all the time. Adultery is everywhere...  It's not right, but people make mistakes! Screwing the world is discusting and I hope that somewhere in the future Bush will be punished and will suffer for what he did!

A woman as president? let see England hasn't done too bad. If a good woman ran I would vote for her. Any person that is capable of moving the country forward deserves the chance. As for all the people that are condemning Bush, DID YOU VOTE??! because if you didn't you have no right to complain.

I think there is many females that are extreamly qualified to be president. SEN Hilliary Clinton for one, Hey lets kill two birds with one stone and Elect madam Secretary Conny Rice.

It's worse than that. I take women's studies, and have learned that 30 years ago, Islamic countries such as Iraq, Iran, Turkey, Syria, etc,...generally had the most progressive systems for gender equity in the world. People like Bush are destroying that.

People who voted for Bush seem to have done so because of their self-righteous-"Clinton is an adulterer"- piety.  Alas, I long for the days when our biggest concern was whether our president received oral sex.  It was simpler times.\n\nYou see what happens when we let the self-righteous decide who becomes president?\n\np.s. \nUnemployment is low, but the gap between the rich and poor is ever increasing because the types of jobs that are being created are service jobs and not the kind of jobs that allow you to improve your situation.

Who says a woman cant? Some have the fear that she would run it with emotions and thoughtfulness rather than who could win and who can be in control.oddly, i believe most of those who think that,are men.Actually,i think a woman would get this country in order.Have you ever thought that that may just be what this country needs? some thoughtfulness and emotions even if it politics.Doesnt mean people shouldnt actually have feelings and care about the american people.Not just see them as "little"people or people who are below them in the system.

I can't stand her!  I think she was the brains behind the Clinton presidency... but I just can't respect a woman who doesn't respect herself (if she did she would have left Bill Clinton a long, long time ago--but she just allows him to keep having affairs).  It'll be a sad day if she's elected the first female president--that is not what young girls should be aspiring to be like.

The answer is NO for historical reasons. It is not like women were never leaders before.\n\nEvery time in history when a Woman was elevated to as status of Ruler of Nation she behaved in exactly the same way -- a man would! \nMeaning, she ruled as she so fit -- she was nice sometimes and was ruthless when the circumstances were right.\n\nConsider: \nElizabeth I of England sponsored pirates to terrorize ships of other nations(Francis Drake) and started Anglo-Spanish War. \n\nGolda Meir of Israel authorized the Mossad to kill Black September in retaliation of 1972 Olympics massacre. She also  showed ruthlessness in conducting the Yom Kippur war.\n\nCatherine II of Russia initiated numerous Russo-Turkish Wars and annexed Crimea. \n\nMore recently Margaret Thatcher was known as "Iron Lady." She also  "punished" the unionists which led to Anglo-Irish War.\n\nSo women have demonstrated ability to be as violent and tyrannical as men -- so giving them the rule will not really change much-- ther would still be wars murder and destruction.

You have rattled allot of folks in here.My hat off to you.If I had a choice to report the abuse yes I would choose to do so.I know many people are divided in what they choose to believe or not believe,but look at all the horrible things that have happened over the past 6 years.I believe it speaks for itself.When will we as Americans be free of the follies of the government and the Presidents who do not care about their own people.I am not just saying Bush is to blame I am stating he has become one of the many problems we face now.

Personally, I don't even think the democrats will let her get past the primaries.  There are a lot of places in this country that are still a few years behind, and aren't ready for a woman.  On top of that, I really think that there is a lagre majority of women who hold her in contempt for going back to a man that publicly humiliated her.  It's obvious that everything she says and does is political positioning...painfully obvious.  Most importantly though, we're dealing with some strong minded, very conservative leaders in the Middle East, primarily Iran and people like Kim Jong Il and I tend to think that a blonde haired, blue eyed woman wouldn't gain an ounce of respect from people like that.  \n\nThere are too many variables right now for a woman to be president...if it were a different time though, I'd vote for Condi first.

I knew someone who was in an abusive relationship and yes, she did repeat the cycle. It was really sad but it seemed like she would only date guys who were jerks. I think women who are in this cycle have such low self esteem that they really don't know that they deserve better.

Truthfully I was attacked by a female when I was 24. She found out I was sexually abused as a child and when I met up with her the next time, she told her daughter she wasn't allowed to play with  my daughter because "people who were abused, abuse others". I confronted this woman by telling her I would rather cut off my right arm than harm a child and how dare she place such a devastating label on me, especially to her 4 year old daughter! I called her a bitch when she wouldn't apologise. The next thing I know, she hit me in the face with a coffee mug. The next ten minutes, I beat the living idiocy out of her and it took four guys to get me off of her.\n\nI have been hurt verbally in my life and I can deal with it, but, you hit me and Michelle From Hell comes out!\n\nTen years later, her daughter became a drug addict, the mother lost her looks, money and career because of drinking and their entire family is messed up. Mine on the other hand is great! Well, except for my illness. \n\nCat fight? Well, how about the second (I have only fought twice) fight. I packed a nice picnic lunch, went to my boyfriends house to get him and find him having sex with my best friend in a van I loaned him!\n\nI said a few choice words and when that "woman" threw a big gulp coke at me and hit me with the cup, I took her by the hair, naked, and rubbed her face in the dirt like the dirty little piggy she was. \n\nThey both were written out of my life that very day. No loss.\n\nHope these were good reasons to beat the snot out of someone.\n\nOh...and I wouldn't call this a fight but, a man was trying to pull me out of my van to rape me and I cut him across the hand with the ever present knife I kept at the time. I don't run in bad circles, this guy was a stranger on the street.\n\nSliced his palm wide open and would do it again to protect myself!\n\nSo, that said, attack me and the poop hits the proverbial fan.

It's kind of like someone with an abusive significant other.\nThey started out happy with them, and bragged about how great they were. Then they start getting slapped around, and make up all sorts of excuses to avoid the shame of admitting to themselves that they made the wrong choice.\n\nThis seems to be really prevalent amongst the  Christian conservatives, who voted on a few topics, like abortion, or anti-gay agendas. Nothing against them, but they seem to have been backed into a corner, they got a high-spending corporate-friendly president, and no real action on the issues that were important to them. Add a dose of extreme patriotism, and you get some people who refuse to belive that they made the wrong choice.

I think it does. I think the people who were ignorant enough to vote in our current President Bush for a second term are to blame because it was their votes which caused Bush to win. I, however, am not to blame because I voted for Kerry. I think more people are aware now of the atrocities going on in Iraq but the problem is, it is too late. Now they realize that so many innocent lives are being lost on a country we should have just left alone.
