I am a Senior Female hear me roar, Republicans [View all]

Unmarried "sluts" vote Democrat because they want a Sugar Daddy? lol My REPUBLICAN voting husband of 40 years, has lost his job numerous times due to offshoring, and WE have needed government assistance, including when we had "only" two young children. We were very happy that is ALL we had since we almost lost everything. Food pantry food is fun. Right. My husband doesn't want to talk about that even 20 years later. I thought a RING ON YOUR FINGER solved everything, Republicans? Guess, not even with a REPUBLICAN husband. That is the subject of another thread.

I also do not have amnesia despite my age. I do remember what it was like, even decades ago in "liberal" NYC, for women trying to get ahead and having to deal with issues of work discrimination based on gender and marital status. "Are you married yet?" "How many children do you plan on having?" "Will you take off from work when your children are sick?" My MALE husband never ever had to answer those questions.

I got mine (married) so screw all other women? Well, I have two DAUGHTERS. Both are married, including my older one who is married to a WOMAN. Oh, horror with that one. My older daughter deserves the SAME RIGHTS as her married to a man sister. Speaking of which, my younger daughter also wants to CONTROL her own fertility, and not make as many babies for the "Motherland" as possible. Her quote, "I would rather have an ONLY child, than as many as the religious right thinks I should have". End of story. Again, as a Senior female I remember those days. I don't want my daughters, or anyone else's daughters, to have to relive them, dear REPUBLICANS.

Now as a SENIOR female. Dear Ted Cruz, I do not want your STINKING VOUCHER to give to a for profit insurance for my medical insurance. You can take that one and put it where the sun doesn't shine. Also, when I was working, I turned down every single sales pitch for your 401K, 403B "plans" in favor of a PENSION. You can take that one to and put it in the same place as your Medicare "plan".

Dear Republicans, including my HUSBAND, you have a serious problem with WOMEN. AGE and MARITAL status does not matter. We are all SISTERS.
