1. I’m a security mom too, but Bush has created the most insecure world imaginable by making nearly every country in the world hate Americans …
2. Kerry is cool with a wife who earns more and has more money than he does …
3. Edwards is a babe and cool with having a terrifically smart, slightly plump wife …
4. Kerry’s been through a divorce and has a good relationship with his ex and kids to show for it — that’s diplomacy! …
5. There’s honestly a lot I like about Laura Bush, but she’s a 1950’s wife and this is not 1950 …
6. No matter how much you like George and Laura Bush, they are the front “men” for a very right-wing Bible-loving, anti-abortion, anti-gay movement. They want to keep women hidden in a burquah called “home sweet home” and think women are best pregnant and barefoot …

8. Don’t tell me ladies that you don’t know someone who’s gone bankrupt in the last year or so — I know you do …

10. Ever wake up late at night in a sweat over the frightening scenario of having no healthcare insurance and getting breast cancer?! Bush isn’t losing sleep over it …
11. … He wants to win a middle east OIL war for his Texas friends — don’t kid yourself — and will be forced to reinstate the draft …
12. No woman looking at the pictures of the prisoners of the Abu Ghraib prison can be anything but devastated by this ungodly treatment of humans under Bush’s watch…
