They are smart, erudite, soldiers, teachers, executives and hard to fool, particularly when it comes to issues which affect their families. Sound bites may make the politicians feel good because they don't have to explain or even be truthful. Thank heaven for politifact (http://www.politifact.com). Many of them with aplomb spout untruths and divisive diatribes aimed at us here in the south, since we seem to walk in sheep-step with the conservation Republicans, no matter the vitriol of their arguments. But be not content o ye self-serving pollywogs. We southern ladies know that if a child is denied an education or health care or allowed to languish, then that child may grow up to pray on our child. If families are forced to buy insurance from the self-serving insurance companies and we are not allowed a public option in a heath care bill of, for and about the American people, then Senator Lieberman watch out, the American people will revolt. Insurance companies have been given free rein for too long to deny hard working mothers and fathers coverage for themselves and their children due to pre-existing illnesses (heaven forbid we change jobs). They have interfered with our treatment and even the drugs which we and our children take. And the kicker is that they can do all of this by phone! Could this be why the AMA supports health care reform (http://www.aafp.org/online/en/home/publications/news/news-now/professional-issues/20091111ama-reform.html) that includes health insurance coverage for all Americans, a public option? O.K. ladies I must run off to work. You see I have to help my hardworking prince pay the bills, save for retirement and pay for our insurance. I also need to engage my mind, particularly since my grandchildren seem to get smarter every day even though many of the public school systems in Georgia languish in mediocrity. But then that's another issue. Nana in Macon ? Who are southern women today?
