A woman President

[Edwina's Secretary]

ES,

.

In the PO, however, there is a pay disparity. Why? If you look at the OT volunteer lists in the office I work for, 2/3 of the volunteers are male, in a workforce that is about a 50/50 split between men and women. Therefore, a male in the same position as a female is going to get pay more statistically, as they are more likely to get OT than the equivalent female. In a workplace where anything over 10 hours in a shift is doubletime, a wage disparity can be racked up rapidly.

Any decent survey should look at base pay as well as overtime pay. And of course, in exempt jobs, hours worked are not tracked and overtime not paid.

I could get into the political argument of WHY woman are not as able to earn overtime as men....but today I am being non-political.

Just want to make sure you understand the BLS is NOT the Holy Grail of Compensation Surveys nor is cash compensation the whole story.

Did I tell you my first name is Monica, really it is? I feel I owe her.

Hillary converted???? When was that? And there is more than one Arafat? I thought him dead?

Oy vey.... I am confused.

When she was running for New York Senate, the same time she suddenly became a long-term New Yorker, she revealed a Jewish heritage she'd suddenly always been proud and mindful of, and actively promoted and portrayed herself as Jewish, particularly to the predominately Jewish communities.

Hi Wom,

That was a young JFK saying in German " I am a Berliner" what he meant is that he can relate to the germans and to all people regardless of where they are from. We all have the same hopes, wishes and dreams. To do well, do love and be loved. To be excepted for who we are. And to have Hilary be our next president.

Ahhhhhh....that makes so much sense.....your posts always make a great deal of sense to me.
Marigold.....can I PM you ??? I'd really appreciate that.
Wom

Oh come on.....I have my problems with Hillary being too willing to bend to the political winds, but she portrayed herself as Jewish? Her religious roots and beliefs are well documented and analyzed. And her residence well-known as well... she grew up in a suburb of Chicago and lived in Arkansas for most of her adult life.

And you are suggesting people in New York didn't know these things so she was telling them otherwise?

I wonder what it is about the Clintons that make their detractors paint them in such dramatic (and unbelievable) negative light?

Hi Wom,

Yes you may PM me. How nice of you to ask first. A real gentlemen. Monica

How could she be elected to the New York Senate, if she did not manage to portray herself as a New York Resident? That's a basic requirement.

Also, she did suddenly reveal this Jewish grandmother (later, it was discovered it was actually a grandmother briefly married to a Jew) who gave her this rich heritage she was proud of, and still was a big part of her today.

It was all over flippin CNN when she was running for office. Hilary has been playing these games for a long time.

And one last point--- I am not down on 'The Clintons'. I love Bill.

You state above

I am a resident of California...but that doesn't mean I represent myself as a long-term Californian!

Here is something else for the pro-Hillary crowd to chew on...

I often hear people say how "brave" she was with the whole Lewinski thing. How is it brave to allow your spouse to cheat on you? It would have been brave of her to stand by Bill as her President. But, if she truely had courage she would NOT have stood by him as her husband. Basically as I see it, she allowed herself to be embarrassed in a very public way, all in the name of politics.

She is fraud. Period. The way she treats those who would take a bullet for her says everything we should need to know about her. That and her obvious elitist and socialist ideals.

She is not as smart as the left thinks she is, nor is she as dumb as the right wants her to be.

Again, I have to ask, have any of the Hilary supporters researched her at all? I implore you to educate yourself on her senatorial campaign. Let her camp and her speeches show you just how false and manipulative this woman is.


It is just like now, when she says she's always been against the war, yet she voted for it!

It is a matter of record, but people either buy the lie, or overlook it.

Hey, now! I am neither right-wing, nor do I think Hilary is smart! So there !

Again...I am not pro-Hillary...simply pro-truth....

How brave was Bush when he ran and hide out after 9/11??????

or Cheney....hiding in an "undisclosed location!"

Anyway...who ever called her "brave"...other than you?

Chew away truth seeker!

Yes Sophist both my husband and I pay great attention to all the candidates running and to all the debates on TV. You see I am the mother of three. I had two sons in the military. My oldest has served now 10 proud years. Twice he was sent to the Middle East and twice he risked his life for long periods of time. Because of the nature of his job in the military we were not allowed ANY contact for over six months. For a mother that is a lifetime of worry and fear. I feared for him and prayed for him daily. Twice he made this trip and twice I sat home helpless. My younger son was sent to the Middle East once. I care a great deal about all the issues and take nothing for granted. As far as Bill and Hilary's love and sex life I could care less. I just don't want my son to have to go back. I want a world that is safe for all peope, clean water, clean air, food on the table, a steady income, retirement benefits, health care, college for my daughter. At this time I feel Hilary is the best candidate to make that happen. But the election is a ways off and I have a lot of research and thinking to do in that time. I hope that this post I started gets everyone thinking about who would be best for this job. Even though we might not argree on a candidate I think we all agree that we want a safe and happy world and this war to end.

Really, you can only learn so much from them reading prepared answers from their writers at the debates.

Study their actions, and their less high-profile words and promises. But most of all their actions--- like voting in favor of the war that sent your sons away, like Hilary did. She did not come out as against the war until Obama did so, and surged in the polls enough to frighten her. Now she claims she was always opposed to the war. But her vote is on record... this wonderful peacemonger DID vote for your sons to go to the middle east.

I have waited anxiously for two brothers who were sent to Iraq by Dubya, so I can sympathize somewhat with your position there. But you know what, waiting for a soldier is not the same thing as political awareness. I do not in any way mean that as an insult, and I do not claim to be a political genius. It's just... grr.

It is actually a pretty smart move for you to make, speaking from an objective debate stance. I mean, it is an emotional and volatile enough subject that it isn't really safe to respond to it, even if it really doesn't tie into or refute any of the arguments we've made against Hillary.

Also, you addressed the post to me, so please realize I have not said one word about The Clinton's sex/love life. Not a single word. Too cheap a shot so far, really. If the so-called Hillary haters are as backwards and silly as her fans seem to think, then we can be so on our own without putting such ridiculousness in my mouth for me.
