Why is the Glass Ceiling Unbreakable?

The ERA has been ratified by 35 of the necessary 38 states.  When three more states vote yes, the ERA might become the 28th Amendment. 

The politicians that are running around concerned about being fair and wanting to replace our current Internal Revenue Service with the Fair Tax should take a step back in time and replace our current election system with one that treats all candidates fair and equally.

Even those that can't pee standing up!

Are men afraid of women?  Are they afraid Hillary will succeed?  Can it be possible that the men of this country are so chauvinistic they would rather vote for a candidate that is not qualified to be President of the United States than to vote for a woman?

Is that why women are still considered second class citizens in this country?

There is no excuse for the women in this country not voting for Hillary.  There is no way you can look at the credentials of the two candidates, look at what plans they have for our future, and choose Obama over Hillary. 

It's easy to sit back and say 'she voted for the Iraq war'.  Excuse us, but Hillary did not vote to attack Iraq.  Her vote, along with everyone else's was to give Bush the power to use military force, IN THE EVENT IT WAS NECESSARY.

It was not necessary, but Bush chose to go to war.

It's easy for Obama to sit back and say "I was against the Iraq war from the beginning'.  It's easy for him to say anything because he wasn't a U.S. Senator at the time; therefore he was not privy to the confidential data that was supplied to the U.S. Senators prior to the vote giving President Bush the authority to use military force in the event it was necessary.

Actually, if Obama had been a U.S. Senator at the time of the vote he probably wouldn't have voted to give Bush the authority to use military force in Iraq.  After all as the Jr. Senator from Illinois he doesn't find it necessary to make an appearance in the Senate more than 67% of the time.

Help me understand

Obama didn't get to Chicago as a lawyer until around 89, if I have my dates correct. You mention he didn't do anything when he was in the Ill. legislature. I was a NOW member in Chicago until I left the state in 77. I have your very great reading material ahead of me to do.

Could you just tell me what you really said about Obama and ERA? Thanks.

Please point me to...

...all the speeches Hillary has given where she has said: "And I would like to see the ERA passed."

Hmm.

I MARCHED for the ERA in the 1970's and still remember the 26 words from memory (do you?) and I am POSITIVE that I have never heard dear Hillary mention the ERA ONCE in any speech, and if I know how she triangulates and works for the middle, I suspect she has never done so.

THis is B.S.
