Kerry: ‘Administration Shortchanges Women in Business’
Kerry: ‘Administration Shortchanges Women in Business’
28 April 2005

Today, John F. Kerry, Ranking Member of the Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, called on the Bush administration and the Small Business Administration (SBA) to do more for women-owned businesses.

“Women business owners continue to be short-changed by the administration,” Kerry said. “The number of women-owned businesses is growing at more than twice the rate of all firms, but women entrepreneurs aren’t getting their fair share of the capital, counseling or contracts. There's no place for the ol’ boys club in our government. We need to ensure that, with a smart business plan and a lot of hard work, every American entrepreneur can achieve success.”

3. And Remember, * applied for an SBA loan this year
to finance his 'Let's Get Rid of Social Security' grand tour. Rethugs believe in creepy leftist programs, like aid to small business, when they are the small business being aided.

Can you even imagine someone like John Kerry attempting to get away with something this sleazy? Everytime I see The Idiot King shortly after seeing a class act like Kerry I am reminded of what a sad fix we are in. And I do question what people could possibly be thinking when they voted for that friggin moron. (Honestly, once again, it's like asking do you want to eat a fine filet mignon or cold spaghetti out of a can.)

That's it. I am officially now guilty of animal abuse. My poor aging cat sat through the Shrub's press conference and then just got sick on some papers on the floor. Next time, I have to clear the room. What was I thinking let the poor animal witness this? So sorry, little Sandyman.
