My Problems with *Katy Abram*....

I'm tempted to call her a paid shill or utterly misguided freak of nature.

It deals with her interview on Hardball. She says that she doesn't know much about how much money her husbands business makes and basically he provides for her and that's all that matters. Well in order to discuss with a clear head, wouldn't you want to know how this affects you? But what's interesting is that she's fully aware of their health care plan and deductibles and all that jazz.

Now I'll buy, that she's aware because she says she's a stay at home mom and as such it would be her role as the *little lady* (I say this condescendingly because of her comment about how all that matters is that her husband takes care of finances.) and takes care of the children and so is directly involved with what is going on with that. But if she's aware of that and she's talking about our health care yet she doesn't seem to get that it also directly relates to her income.

I think she's very dumb in that she's only looking at 1/3 of the situation and not the whole debate. I thought O'Donnell did a great job informing her of her lack of knowledge cause I fear that Tweety would have been rather soft on her and the way he rolls----she'd have left with not a bit of knowledge.

Also, she stood by her position that the forefathers didn't want "certain things" I felt like asking her Blacks weren't citizens...Does she believe that Blacks have no rights? But then I'd have taken the discussion to another realm. So the talk on social security and medicare was good.

In regards to her shill like appearance...I notice that many Republicans push relatively young, stay-at-home moms, who seem rather innocent-like and who push the Constitution and all that stuff but at the same time seem to be supportive entirely of the right-wing talking points---mainly invoking the Constitution and the forefathers.


Maybe I'm just getting sensitive to all this shit...actually I know I'm way to hypersensitive to this because it's all with a racist undertone or overtone (depending on outlook)---even in the case of the Constitution---I'm like...yeah when the Constitution was written I was denied rights by being Black and being female---maybe she should keep quite since the Constitution wasn't that cool for White women either---worse for me but not good for her either. Added to that most of these people are pushed by Republicans also. ~sigh~

Edited for spelling and grammar. I might have more so excuse them.
