Obviously we need more women in government: on the Federal, State, and local levels. As Senators women the women have been shown to be the trailblazers in actually voting for their state's best interests, rather than following the herd instinct promulgated and often prescripted by party leaders.
Someday, with the right candidate, we may even have a woman as President -- that is, if women themselves can overcome their prejudices against women and vote for such a candidate. It would be wonderful to get back to government that could actually "do something" rather than deriding everyone else for their own failures. The Opposition Party is not the enemy. As a certain newspaper cartoon figure used to say, and eloquently so: "we have met the enemy, and the enemy is 'us'."
Women appear to have more of a capacity for common sense, a particularly uncommon commodity in the current world. Common sense could actually get us to consensus -- and even rare commodity. Progress of any kind in Congress is at the most pathetic point in the history of Congress -- and that is saying quite a bit. Don't blame anyone else -- don't pass off the comments with typical "attack back" politics -- "the enemy is YOU; all of you."
Continue your struggles -- readers -- and resist!
