Pennsylvania Single Women

I know you think based on the title this is a plea for single women in Pennsylvania but that is far from the case.

This CNN article outlines what women in Pennsylvania are looking from their Presidential candidate. It appears they are looking for a miracle worker with more powers than anyone on this earth possess.

The article points out that the voters who will factor in economics will be women who make less than $30,000. In other words, those people looking for free hand outs believe the President of the US will help out. Never mind there has only been two instances of this taking place in recent history of “free” handouts – FDR and LBJ. (On a side note, I will discuss one day why I love LBJ). The president will somehow change the fact that they don’t have an education. The President will change the fact they picked professions that were low paying. The President will change the fact they had children when they could hardly feed themselves.

The article continues saying single women earn less than married women and three times less likely to have health coverage. They add 20 percent of unmarried just happen to be single moms. So let me guess this is a plea for their children who are suffering from your lack of employment and somehow not using good contraceptives. (Before I continue on this rant I do want to point out in my book they are 50% responsible in this specific matter. It always takes two to tango.)

Now the article starts out with a single woman who is a lawyer in Philadelphia. She is stating her number one issue is the economy. She is a first time homeowner and she still owns her Nissan Sentra from college. She is 28 which means she just got out of law school. She is just starting out in her career but still owns her home. Is her life that bad? She is brand new in the legal field. Was she expecting to be balling with in seconds of leaving law school? Is she misinterpreting those friends around her driving $40K cars but debt up to their chins as being better than her? Sheesh – I have been out of grad school for almost four years and I am still driving my car I got coming out of undergrad.

She quoted in the article of saying there is little money left over after she pays her bills. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! You have to make choices. OH MY GOD!! So she is looking for the President to help her out. How that is going to happen is beyond my comprehension.

I always find it funny when people think the middle class is taxed too much. One never looks at their spending habits. Does the government force the middle class into credit card debt? Does the government force citizens to buy things so they can keep up with the Joneses?

Even after saying all that, the funny thing is the article gives nothing but stats about those women making less than $30K but use a lawyer who I will go out on a limb and say she is making more than twice that amount.

When you look toward government to help and offer, in any shape or form, it is clear you are not looking in the right direction.

My goodness. Did you take the time to write all this? Must have taken you quite a while.

I've seen similar things for Hillary. I don't think most of these are very significant.

Some of these are opinions, and some of these are distortions of things I've seen elsewhere with more context (for example, a senior lecturer is called by everyone a Professor, everyone addressed him as such. CNN did a piece about Obama and his school in Indonesia, it was BS about it being a religious school. He was raised by his mother, and she was not a religious woman, Muslim or otherwise. Obama has no Washington lobbyists which is what he pledged not to do and not take money from, but he does have some people that lobby at the state level doing some work for him. Need I go on?)

Then this goes on to blame him for the caucus system and that his wife took money from a company that has dealings with wall-mart?

Honestly. Most of these are opinions, many are distortions and many of them are just completely dumb.


Sorry, but Clinton's list is at least as bad as this.
