Subject: RE: BS: Why Female conservatives?
Nope, Carol C. I dislike the use labels to describe people. I would say that the Republicans had things 'right' 100 years ago and, in most cases, have things right today.

If we are going to move past the 'name-calling' stage, whether on Mudcat or on the national political stage, we must get back to issues and phase-out most of the labels. Please note that Jeannette Rankin was 'right' on some issues, but as for her pro-prohabition stance, she made a big mistake. As to her anti-war position, she was consistent. She was the only member of Congress to vote against out entry into WW II.
