Uterus Don't Make Dumb

So he picked a woman. The republican presidential nominee must have a pretty low opinion of women. The man thinks women are so dumb that we will fall for this sorry political stunt he pulled by choosing Alaska's Governor Sarah Paltin as his President in waiting. Obvious to everyone he's making a play for Hillary's disappointed women supporters. That's fair, but come on Sen. McCain, Gov Paltin. The woman is a total opposite of Hillary, everything she believes in, and everything she's been fighting to gain, for the past three decades. Every issue.

Gov. Paltin is a gun toting, strong anti-abortion, no equal pay for women, down with universal health care, creationast, who supported Pat Buchanan for President in 2000 election. Pat Buchanan, her support of him alone is enough to scare me far away from this republican odd duo of Patlin and McCain, even before I knew one thing about her political track record. Of course I'm one of the many women who never supported Hillary from the start. Every since Barack enter the race last Febuary It's been all Barack, all the time, all the way for me. Before Barack, Edwards was the candidate that I supported.

The millions of women who did support Sen. Clinton should be very offended by Sen. McCain very obvious weak attempt to sway them to cross over and vote for him and his running mate. McCain thinks these women are so angry and turned off by Hillary losing the nomination, that they will support any woman he throws at them. No matter the woman's political beliefs. I know the women who supported Hillary so passionately are too intelligent to fall for such a simple con job. My one year old niece could came up with a better more thoughtful plan than this tired scam McCain is trying to snow us with.

This has nothing to do with this Governor's qualifications. I don't know if she is qualified or not. The country will learn her competence in due time. My beef here is that John McCain thinks women are so naive and emotional that we would be duped at his whim. That once he added a woman as his running mate, the sisterhood of the uterus will lead us to blindly vote in kind. Forget the issues or qualifications, Wow she's a woman, mark the box for her, she's one of us gang. What ego, and what nerve of McCain.

John McCain chose Paltin out of pure short sighted, tunnel vision, and blind ambition. The Presidency of the United States, by any means necessary that he can get away with. Thing is, he can't get away with this. Besides that woman who called Obama "an inadequate black man", he's not playing anyone. And believe me when I tell you, if McCain doesn't have that woman on his side by now, he's in big trouble.

Racial Division, Good For Hillary, Not Good For The Democratic Party

If Hillary is our democratic nominee, my hope and prayer is that the republican nominee win in Nov '08. I am a die heart liberal black woman democrat, living deep in heart of Dixie. I will probably never vote republican again, but I will in '08 if Hillary is our nominee. I will vote republican so that that republican nominee will have the votes needed to get the Clintons out of our lives once and for all.

The Clintons historically have been anti-democratic party, they do what they think is best for the Clintons, and be dammed the party as a whole. If they have to lose every single democratic member of congress to get Hillary elected President, so be it. They will destroy the democratic party to gain power. Wait and see.

From my first introduction to the Clintons in 1992, on 60 minutes, I did not like them. I could see they were power hungry opportunists, who do anything, and I mean anything to win. Just look at what they are now doing to Obama. They use Obama's race against him. After Iowa and NH, the Clintons saw that Barack did transcend race, this meant Obama did not push the racial buttons that divide blacks and whites in the United States. So the Clintons invented buttons to push. They used those buttons well. I don't think their plans worked. But we will see the issue again, especially in the west. There, they will use Hispanics against blacks. They will split the base of the democratic party to try to fill their insatiable need for power. It worked in Nevada. Good for the Clintons, not good for democratic party.

I started this blog mainly to express my liberal views. Being a southern black woman, I am a natural democrat. After all it's the democrats who finally saw that blacks in this country would not be denied equal rights any longer. The democrats at that time, knew the changes had to come. The democrats are also the party that truly cares about the poor. So for someone like myself to vote republican is a very big deal. But I will do so to stop the Clintons. But then again, the Clintons are in a party of their own.
