Everyone knows Southern politics is all about race. Until now. Can gender trump race? asks Jim Galloway of the Atlanta Journal Constitution asks. Can women stop Democratic bleeding? Sounds like Galloway is asking, but really, he's telling: "You are about to witness the feminization of the Democratic Party." Race is too hot a topic, he says, but gender is Goldilocks.It's amusing how liberals, like the writer, are always saying, "race shouldn't be an issue", but, are always making race an issue...

This will not stand. The urban centers will provide the oasis. Those with enlightenment will move to Atlanta, Charlotte, Birmingham, Raleigh, Memphis, Nashville. Rural waste lands will not survive without intellegent, creative, open minded, intellectual curiosity driven people who drive successful economies. More and more they will feel they are unwelcome in the rural south. In time, the Urban Centers like those listed above the dominante the darkness and oppressive attitudes that prevail in the rural areas. Much like Chicago dominates Illinois, NYC dominates New York, Seattle dominates Wasington state...

To assume that everyone who is white, male and rural must by virtue of those facts be less intelligent, creative, open minded or intellectually curious is no different than assuming that all urbanites are morally bankrupt and predisposed to criminality. Why is it that those who preach so loudly about tolerance and diversity are the least likely to practice them?

This is a joke of an administration with every element from the 70's tangled up with in it. Throw in some racist minister and you have alphabet soup only no one can find a letter. As for this ranting, so call journalist, every roural white- sounds racist doesn't it-needs to open their eyes and see what is being said across the country. Or she maybe just having her guts twisted in her garter and is mearly passing the wind of all that crow she's had to eat this week. Regardless, as a woman, I gage who I am going to vote on by the character, their voting records and what they stand for ethically. I denounce a president who travels the world to tell them that we, America, is a second rate country. I denounce a health care mandate that has not been read by the very same people who voted on the bill. I denounce this woman's theory as to the female candidates who ran as they were attacked by the Democratic Party with such silliness as using whitch craft to undermine a person. Think back to your own school days and I am sure we would all find a skeleton or two that we would not like the media to get a hold of and spread it across the world. Throwing dirt is what lost this past election..so when 2012 comes around you may see Obama win but you will see the Senate become controlled by either Republicans or Tea Party Candidates because that is what was said on Election Day.
November 15 2010 at 4:04 AM Report abuse Permalink +4 rate up rate down ReplyAs a white man born and raised in the south aka " Dixie " I am very honored and proud to be from a part of the country where principles and morals still count for something. What's with the liberals and many in the media circles who have some sort of perverse obsession with bashing the south and those who know it as home?? How far off the rocker has our country fallen when traditional values and constitutional limited government as prescribed by our Founding Fathers become something radical or extreme? Who's really the enemy of the people and our country these days? It sure ain't Dixie or the inhabitants of the south that's for sure! Why do more people from the south over any other part of America serve in the military? It's because they're brave and patriotic believing without fail in the foundations and traditions that have made the United States unrivaled as a country! Liberals only find blame and fault for those who do no share the same philosophy or beliefs as they and that is why the south is so hated and despised by them. The next time any of you hear some lefty trashing the south, ask him/her what did George Washington,Thomas Jefferson,James Madison,James Monroe,John Tyler,Zachary Taylor,George Mason,Patrick Henry or Richard Henry Lee ever do to you?? People forget how our country would've never been possible without the help of these great men of whom all are titans of Dixie. American by Birth and Southern by The Grace of God....

The color, religion, gender, etc., is a moot point. The voters based their decisions on performance and to minimize the change in party majority has nothing to do with color. The whining, complaining and excuses will only help to boost anyone but Obama and the Dems in 2012.
November 14 2010 at 10:14 PM Report abuse Permalink +7 rate up rate down ReplyNo they lost because Americans always and forever seek balance within their government. Of course it has everything to do with color - if you're a white southern male which exactly what the article was about.
November 15 2010 at 12:45 PM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down ReplyI think this is a fairytale of wishes. Southern politics are no more racist that the midwest. I know quite a few men that think and have knowlege along with women and i know some women that can physically hold their own. Painting a regional group or even a sex with a broad brush is a fools folly. As women become more intwined with the work world their views have and will shift. The view of a women dominated world overlooks the majority of the world. Think China, middle east or India on this. One election does not a trend make.
November 14 2010 at 6:59 PM Report abuse Permalink +12 rate up rate down ReplyI have always wondered why in this color blind, gender blind society, that when a white male votes for another white male it is not assumed that he did so because he agreed with his politics, but instead it is attributed to some racist or sexist reasoning. Why are racist and sexist remarks pemissable against white males but not against any other group. If this article had been this derogatory about hispanics or blacks, or condensending against women would it have even been published>

He is rescuing our country from the disastrous 8 year rule of the repuglican party yet gets no credit for his accomplishments
November 14 2010 at 10:13 PM Report abuse Permalink -6 rate up rate down ReplyIt also happens to be that white men vote for white men especially if that white man is a republican. In case you're wondering this country is not color blid yet. Or didn't you see the election ads featuring every feirce looking middle eastern man the republicans could find to scare their voters.
November 15 2010 at 12:47 PM Report abuse Permalink -1 rate up rate down ReplyGet over yourself, take your pathetic, poorly-stated, sexist male nonsense with you, and don't let the door hit you on the way out. It's rather amusing, although a bit annoying, to watch the most pampered and privileged creatures on the planet--white, North American women--whine about how they are not still more pampered and privileged.
November 14 2010 at 4:52 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyHow bizarre to see morality trotted out to the center ring of Ms Trussell's anti-Conservative circus. The margin of Nicky Haley's primary victory (the only election even remotely affected by the bogus adultery claim) was anything but narrow, and David Vitter? Really? Does she seriously want to go there with the rogues gallery of Democrat cads, felons and tax cheats past and present she'd have to wade through along the way? About the only thing this article communicated was the considerable extent to which delusion runs through the corps of Liberal journalists.

The main one is the abortion issues. Republicans claim they don't want Government interfereing but we know that is not true. They want to tell women, grown women what to do with their bodies and their lifes. They claim government is the problems and yes, it is, in their hands. The second reason is obvious, look at the women Republicans have representing them. Palin, Bachmann, O'Donnell, Malkin, Coulter. All good looking but without two brains cells to rub together between them. What modern women wants to be afflicated with a bunch of Barbie Bimbos?? Women stopped tuning into the Miss America Pagent because it was insulting to their minds and the Republicans will go the same way. Look at the anchors on Fox news, All blonde, with this crazed look in their eyes. From Gretchen Carlson to Meagyn Fox. I looked up a site and there are about 48 women working at Fox now in the forfront. 10 of them are brunette with 2 being Black and 2 being of Latin decent. They poll that ask do you know your Fox New Girls (yep, girls( starts with two important questions. WHICH FOX GIRL (YEP, IT SAYS GIRL) WAS A FORMER MISS AMERICA, and the second one is WHICH FOX NEWS GIRL (THAT WORD AGAIN) WAS A FORMER CHEERLEADER.!! Never mind who ran campaigns, ran companies, graduted from which Universities or who worked in high level positions, its BABEOLICIOUS AND BIMBOS CITY AT FOX.
