    The GOP Has A Problem...With Women

    Rapier was my married name, I am now divorced and using my maiden name.


    Here are the short answers to your questions...


    1. I do not believe in gay marriage, but do believe that same sex couples should have specific rights pertaining to their partners. Especially on health care issues.


    2. As my article states I believe that womens rights have come a long way but there is still a ways to go.


    3. We need to protect our environment. I am not however a "treehugger" but do believe we need environmental protections in place in our legislation.


    4. National defense is something I am extremely passionate about. We need a strong defense and right now Obama is trying to cut it virtually in half which would be the first time ever in history this would be done during a time of war. I am in agreement with Congressman Turners (R-OH) act...


    Turner co-introduced a bill earlier this year with Congressman Jim Marshall, D-Georgia entitled, “The NATO First Act.” you can check it out here... http://tinyurl.com/yfuocmg

    The Obama Administration has reduced homeland anti-ballistic missile funding by $1.2 billion this year. With the very real threats we are facing from the middle east and others we need these defenses in place.


    5. Health care definitely needs to be reformed, but not as the current bill is written.


    6. We do need to work with foreign countries to strengthen our alliances and work together. I do not feel that we should vigorously pursue relations in certain countries, but do need to find ways to come to agreement.


     


    I will ask the same questions of you. I realize these are brief and vague but give you some idea of where I stand. Thank you for reading my article.

    I agree with you wholeheartedly! The GOP does have a big problem with women. There are a whole handful of reasons why I believe this is. I have included a link below to the article I wrote back in Feb. on this subject. I am a Republican and plan on running for office someday.
