[net.politics] Bush--Ferraro Debate

ecl@hocsj.UUCP (10/31/84)

myers@uwvax.UUCP pointed out that Bush referred to Ferraro as "Mrs. Ferraro"
during the debates, rather than "Congresswoman Ferraro" as she had requested.
Someone asked if it was a single slip of the tongue.

By my count (through the magic of videotape), Bush called her:
	Mrs. Ferraro		9 times
	Ms. Ferraro		1 time
	Miss Ferraro		1 time
	Congresswoman Ferraro	0 times

So much for the "slip-of-the-tongue" theory.

And I would observe that Bush's idea of "civil rights" is really odd--keeping
interest rates down is a laudable goal, but it's not civil rights.  His
responses on civil rights referred exclusively to Blacks--no mention of
Hispanics or any other minority group that might be particularly concerned
with civil rights attitudes.  His fawning over the President was also
nauseating.

Me?  I'm voting Bergland.
