"Nursing" a Grievance? No Way, No How

By Sniffles

The American Nurses Association — which strongly backed Senator Hillary Clinton for President — has announced that it's throwing its support behind Obama-Biden.

Why? Because Senator Obama's healthcare proposals are “a natural fit” with the group’s positions, said Rose Gonzalez, Director of Government Affairs. “This is about more than getting a woman in the White House,” Ms. Gonzalez added. “This is about how we change healthcare and address the needs of nurses in the country.”

In case you're wondering, 94 percent of the 2.9 million-member organization are female. Average age: 47.

So much for Governor Palin getting the vote of real working women across America.

What we cats find most interesting though, is that representatives for the McCain-Palin campaign did not respond to the ANA’s requests to answer written questions or to meet for a personal interview.

McCain-Palin: Writing off working women while pretending to care about them? We think so.
