The Bush Ongoing Assault on Women!

UNSEEN AND UNHEARD: THE GEORGE BUSH ONGOING ASSAULT ON WOMEN!
TvNewsLies - 18-Jan-2004

Believe it or not, there really is a bit of opposition to George Bush being broadcast on the media. If you listen closely, and look really hard, you might find discussions out there about some outrageous policy of George Bush. Somewhere, on off hours and primarily on public media, you might hear a lone economist challenge the Bush tax plan, a group of activists attack his disregard for the environment, or an angry senior argue the privatization prescription plans. If you listen even closer, somewhere, in the wee hours of the night, you might even hear the Bush War on Iraq bravely challenged. Well and good.

But nowhere, at any hour, and only minimally among the democratic candidates, is there any outcry about one of this administration’s most crucial and potentially disastrous policies: the George W. Bush ongoing assault on women! ......

1. Who would point it out?

The talking heads on TV, the editorialists in the papers, and the sponsored web opinionizers, are overwhelmingly men, sprinkled with pundettes carefully vetted by conservative organizations. Every once in awhile, they may notice that women are unhappy, and then, like Freud, they will throw their hands in the air asking "What do women want?" without bothering to ask an actual woman.

2. good observation.

But it's not so much what women want as what they will get. The next Supreme Courty will set the tone for the nation...and surely for the rights of women for the next generation. Remember that four lifetime appointments are all we need to overturn democracy.

3. judging from the response

to this topic, women's issues don't seem to be very important at DU either. :(
