You Should Know...

* If you have an opportunity to watch the HBO drama, Game Change, grab it.  Although the storyline provides some of the backroom talk and movements of the McCain-Palin campaign, it is important to note that even if half of this is true, I'm soooooooooooooooo glad they lost. The viewer comes away with the feeling that Sarah Palin was completely ignorant on issues, history, leaders of countries, economic structures, etc., etc., etc.

*  I saw this NY Times article mentioned over at DailyKos.  After you read the article, you too will come to realize that all women, Democrats and Republicans, are completely disgusted with the Republican politicians and elected officials.

NY Times:

....In Iowa, one of the crucial battlegrounds in the coming presidential election, and in other states, dozens of interviews in recent weeks have found that moderate Republican and independent women — one of the most important electoral swing groups — are disenchanted by the Republican focus on social issues like contraception and abortion in an election that, until recently, had been mostly dominated by the economy...

....But in the 2010 midterm election, women swung to the Republicans. Now there are signs of another shift: in a New York Times/CBS News poll last month, the president finished ahead of Mr. Romney among all women by 57 percent to 37 percent. He held much the same advantage over Mr. Santorum.......

....Ms. Lopez added: “The G.O.P. has never been so clear about their agenda for women. I’m afraid if we get a Republican president, my health will be up to their personal discretion.” 

The Republicans are more interested in what happens in your uterus than getting the country back to work.  How is this a move that helps our country?
