(CNSNews.com) - "The best thing we can do to grow the economy of our country, keep America number one, is to unleash the power of women,” House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) told the National Partnership for Women and Families Thursday in Washington, D.C.

Pelosi said the Democrats' economic agenda has three pillars, including “fair pay, whether it’s the Paycheck Fairness Act or raising the minimum wage”; paid family leave; and "affordable, quality" child care.

“In the last couple of days I’ve been working with members on our economic agenda for America, and so we said how long we’ve been saying, ‘When women succeed, America succeeds’ should be a major part of this agenda. And ...this morning we decided it’s not going to be just a major part of it, it’s going to be it. And we’re going to add other things to it. But we’re not going to be the addition, we’re going to be the heart of the matter, ‘When women succeed, America succeeds,’ Pelosi said.

Why is ‘unleashing women’ all about leashing others? “

Asking that question sort of answers it.....

While I believe in equal pay for equal job responsibilities, I also believe in the right person for a job regardless of sex. Pelosi's tunnel vision on gender, on the other hand, suggests that she's living in flashbacks from the 60s.

I agree..

And for the record, Dan Quayle didn’t put an extra in Potatoe.

He was handed a flash card created by an idiot teacher. It was misspelled on the card.

If you search the video, you can see is was torn what to do.
He actually shows the card to the kid an class with the word potatoe with an E.

It could have been an ambush, wouldn’t doubt it.

But the BS media narrative was set, and it worked. There was no wide spread internet back in 1992. So the truth was killed.
