Conservative Feminists (Grizzlies or Not) Come Out Roaring

Personally, I'd rather vote for a female Libertarian/Independent female choice. Some of these comments suggest that gender>values, but I heartily disagree. I'd rather vote for a person who actually supports liberty, rather than narrow-minded old fashioned views. I would not vote for an anti-choice,homophobe, no thanks! Hopefully the quality of female conservative candidates will increase... I'm open to voting for any party that supports individual freedom.

Interesting article even if the author's tone is incredibly patronizing towards conservatives and conservative women. I rejected feminism as expounded by liberals after college when I realized that it didn't gel with anything I wanted for myself as a woman. Sure, I wanted a career and the ability to make my own paycheck and climb my own career ladder. But, I also wanted marriage and kids without feeling like I had bought into a paternalistic stereotype perpetuated by the historical masculine hegemony. (quoting a college prof, there!) Hooray for the new brand of feminists. Finally, some chicks who can carry the feminist water for all the rest of us women who aren't angry embittered man haters who look at motherhood as a disease.

Speaking of Third Parties, I am a Libertarian, in theory as well as practice, and have been s its collo all my life. I also belong to what is described as an "ethnic minority", for what THAT's worth. It infuriates me to see how the Republican Party, along with the Tea Party Express, is perverting everything I have believed in and worked for, and using MY precepts and beliefs to justify THEIR abject moral cowardice. If the GOP is determined to exercise a collective death wish, so be it-- but please do not do it on MY turf.

My question is, where were all the feminists during the 2008 campaign when the vicious and utterly nasty attacks on Sarah Palin were in full force--which, I might add included many prominent feminist? It was obvious, that Palin was not considered the proper model of a feminist candidate. She wears skirts and high heels, she hunts and fishes, she's been a mayor, governmetn committe head and Governor, business woamn, and mother--how much more of a woman and feminist do you want? Oh, yeah, I forgot, ONLY liberals can only be feminists! Sorry, but that just shows the mentality of the progressive sexist women.

I am a lifelong repbulican, a women, a pro-choice single mother who objects to the continuing loss of freedom that we Americans must endure in the name of political correctness, global warming and tolerance. It seems to me that ALL the powers that be dont want to listen to the MAJORITY of Americans,which means that we must send them a message that ALL their jobs are expendable. If experience means that you can pass a health bill, a financial bill and stimulus without knowing what is in them or even bothering to read it. When you have Senators who try to sneak in a Amensty bill, by attaching it to a defense bill, in order to decieve the people and take them out of the debate, then I will vote for the people with little to no experience at least they will read the bills, because they will have on the job training. We all dont have to agree on all the issues in order to move forward,just on the major ones. All else can be worked out.

Conservatives may have their social differences, but if we don't stick together, and take back our government, it won't matter what kind of CONSERVATIVE we are. We'll all be extinct soon if we continue down the path of progressives new world order, with the UN dictating our lives, the IRS re-distributing our wealth, and the teacher's unions indoctrinating our children without our consent, and unions killing capitalism. We will lose our freedom of choice, whether it's pro-life, or pro-choice. The RINO's getting beat by the Tea Party supported candidates, are only showing their true colors; lack of integrity, elite arrogance, and poor losers, by turning coat, denying their support, and aligning themselves with the Democrats. It's rather obvious now that they were never representing us in the first place. They were just giving lip service to their constituents to stay in office. If you can't tell if your candidate is Liberal Leaning or Conservative Lite .....deem them too weak to stand in your stead to represent you. Strategizing and spin got us into this "how do we win" situation, how do we play the game....etc., when just voting with your character and integrity for our sovereignty is first and foremost the issue. It is our sovereignty that allows us our differences.

Right obalula...you'd want her to be further violated by the violence of rape...have to suffer the mental anquish of having killed her own child. You think women are so weak that they have to be lied to and told their child is a blob of tissue because "crisis pregnancy" turns women into children who have to have the ultrasound monitor turned away so they can't see what the child in their womb really looks like and what the abortion procedure really does. Women need to be protected from these things. Ummm...WHOSE living in the 50's??? And who on earth said that your daughter would have to raise the baby. Millions of families are waiting to adopt.

While I'm glad that women are finally getting into the political arena, I have serious concerns about the women currently running for office. From the speeches that they have given and the interviews, they do not come across as someone I would vote for. Their views are toxic towards their own gender. (what else would you call someone who would force a rape victim to bear the rapist's baby?). Please do not get me that rhetoric that "God has a plan for everything". Additionally, they never answer the tough questions, but sidestep them with smiles and repeating the same old thing (remember the headless bodies in the Arizona desert?). When pushed to answer the question (which we all now know was a lie), Sharon Angle ended the interview and walked away. They say that they will change things. They will shake up the system - baloney! Their views are way too narrow. They will set the women's movement back. If they win, women will be forced back to being second class citizens, with no rights but what their husbands or families deem appropriate, making far less than their male counterparts. Please America, wake up! We do not need to move backwards. We need to keep making progress toward a society that values all of it's members and allows each of each to choose for ourselves what is best for us without having someone else vote on whether or not we get to exercise those rights.

I like her and believe she will win handily in November!

Funny, how the media didn't question the LACK of experience of Obama!
