A Woman for President?

by Dolores M. Klein, Peoria, IL

Now that a woman may be nominated by the Republican Party for President, the questions arise again, and by now should have been addressed many times over. A woman’s abilities, etc., etc., etc. The question asked of Michelle Bachman in Iowa about her religious belief: a wife must submit to her husband, is interesting with the implication that her husband could be involved in Presidential decisions.

When Hillary Clinton was running, questions arose about HER husband who had BEEN President, and how he could influence her Presidential decisions!

I’m sure that Bachman or Sarah Palin actually running for President would put feminists to some amount of testing. Their positions on so-called “social issues” would be a serious litmus test. There are many Republican politicians, women, who could pass that test with feminist men and women, but neither of them could!
