Comments on: I TRIED to Tell You: Why OPRAH Matters http://queenofspainblog.com/2007/12/09/i-tried-to-tell-you-why-oprah-matters/ Fri, 21 Nov 2008 20:12:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Dorothy Stahlnecker http://queenofspainblog.com/2007/12/09/i-tried-to-tell-you-why-oprah-matters/#comment-58598 Dorothy Stahlnecker Sun, 16 Dec 2007 13:21:42 +0000 http://queenofspainblog.com/2007/12/09/i-tried-to-tell-you-why-oprah-matters/#comment-58598 Well at least, were thinking about what position we should take. Perhaps more information will help women who haven't been involved in voting considering some of the issues we face today. My grandson 21, will be heading back to Iraq again in October of 08. I'm saddened and disgusted with our position yet, we have to support the soldiers currently serving in Iraq and heading back home. My blog grammology with the help of one of our local churches mailed over 500 care boxes, and our family bread company, mailed over 900 loaves of Father Sam's pocket bread. When Gary was in Iraq he waited for any kind of mail, message, food, or gift box which we filled with toiletries food and surpriese. He treasured receiving anything marked home. It's more important today then ever before to get involved. As Spain said, here your voice make a difference. I don't think things will be getting better soon.

I'm still seething over the fact the candidates could give a shit less about us. Thank God for Oprah. At least she cares. Maybe she should run for president. Or at least public office. Junior Senator of Illinois, perhaps? She could fill Obama's shoes when he wins. Wait. Did I just say that?? I can’t even think of a comment right now.

And I'm tired of female pundits on tv referring to "soccer moms" like they don't have a brain in their head because they aren't currently making six figures or breaking a glass ceiling. We are powerful and smart and aware and could take your job in a second so stop the patronizing. It's worse than when a man does it. nice!

I'm curious if some women will see this as commercializing the vote and if so, will later feel duped by her or Obama. I'm asking the question out of sheer ignorance because I don't know the answer. Either way, encouraging women to vote is vital and I sure hope it works - we could use a dose of Oprah up here for the same reason.

GAH! This type of mindset from constituents of our supposed democracy (*ahem* Republic) is manked.
