Why Hillary Talks Like Bill
And how the feminization of politics Newterized Nancy Pelosi.
(Page 2 of 2)
Or the chance to be the first female President of the United States.
The compass of feminine politics is spinning so fast it's hard to see where the needle will ultimately point. Or whether it will continue to point in different directions.
Of one thing you can be sure. When Hillary announces she will target the women's vote by stressing health care and education issues -- at the same time she votes for yet another Iraq war supplemental that will fund the troops (yet insist on "redeploying" them)-- she is not just playing politics but the game of evolutionary biology as well.

Women are generally less motivated to display status or seek public acknowledgement because their value as a sexual mate is determined by things like physical attractiveness. So why do Hillary and Nancy and a growing corps of women in both parties throw themselves into this head-butting good 'ole boy network whose currency, known to evolutionary psychologists as in-group favoritism, is horse-trading and mutual back-scratching? Tactics that certainly don't mirror the consensual decision-making approach women use. I would definitely say that this is true folks. Mike at the king comforter sets guide.
