Read this for your daughters!

Senator Clinton and Governor Palin are proof that women can and do diverge on important issues.

Even on the question of whether women should vote!

Most people are totally in the dark about HOW the suffragettes won votes for women, and what life was REALLY like for women before they did.

Suffragettes were opposed by many women who were what was known as 'anti.'

The most influential 'anti' lived in the White House. First Lady Edith Wilson was a wealthy Washington widow who married President Wilson in 1915.

Her role in Wilson's decision to jail and torture Alice Paul and hundreds of other suffragettes will never be fully known, but she was outraged that these women picketed her husband's White House.

I'd like to share a women's history learning opportunity...

"The Privilege of Voting" is a new free e-mail series that follows eight great women from 1912 - 1920 to reveal ALL that happened to set the stage for women to win the vote in England and America.

It's a real-life soap opera! And it's ALL true!

Powerful suffragettes Alice Paul and Emmeline Pankhurst are featured, along with TWO gorgeous presidential mistresses, First Lady Edith Wilson, Edith Wharton, Isadora Duncan and Alice Roosevelt.

There are tons of heartache on the rocky road to the ballot box, but in the end, women WIN!

Thanks to the suffragettes, women have voices and choices!

Exciting, sequential episodes are great to read on coffeebreaks, or anytime.

This shows you how currently desperate the worst elements of society are because they cannot attack and reduce the case for Palin as VP in any logical sensible, decent manner.

They're desperate, as well as scummy, and they deserve to witness backfire among better people and among the neutral in the vast electorate against their scummy "campaign."

Leave it to them to construct McCain-Palin, if they continue, as America's toilet paper.

If you believe in neoconservativism and voted for Bush/Cheney-- you should thank Wilson- who believed the spread of democracy and prosperity was vital to the prevention of another world war. He also opposed the harsh reparations levied on Germany and Austria after WWI--- reparations which sowed the seeds for the rise of national socialism- or naziism.

The League of Nations was not a success because Republicans --- who wanted to return to the head-in-the sand isolationist foreign policy of the pre-WWI era blocked our entry into it. The organization was too weak to survive without US participation, but it was the precursor of the UN. The point of the league was to prevent another world war.

After WWII, US isolationist policy was seen as a grave error, so we helped to establish the UN, in hopes of avoiding WWIII.

Woodrow Wilson one of the best?

ROFLMAO

The League of Nations was such a sucess wasn't it? And Wilson really supported Ho Chi Minh when he wanted to make his country into a free and independent state, right? Just think, if Wilson had done that the whole Vietnam War might have been avoided.

Anyhow if you want to look at a different type of ranking, and surely controversial, read this article in its entirety:

It pretty much sums up my ranking system althought I'd move Teddy Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan up a notch to the middle tier, and include George W. Bush with Lincoln and FDR at the bottom of the list.

Historians have ranked Woodrow Wilson as one of the better presidents, not one of the worst.

And our most experienced VPs, Dick Cheney, is now reviled by most Americans and has broken both domestic and international laws and ignored our Constitution, in order to further the neoconservative's agenda.

No one is ever ready for the job, perhaps. But who would you rather have taking over the controls of an jetliner if the pilot suddenly died, a person who had flown a small aircraft, or they guy who worked on the brakes?
