Yes, I’m here to tell you (oh no it’s not PC), that this race is about gender. If you don’t want to hear my analysis then please go elsewhere rather than shooting me for something you haven’t even read. I mean, why read when you can just blast away at the nasty, woman supporting hillbot who is playing that gender card thing?
Frankenoid at dKos did a hilarious great job giving us the inside scoop on Mary’s labor woes.
But Mary Mother of Jesus and Virgin Wife of Joseph is not who the republican’s fear.
They fear the lowly, Mary Magdalene.
They know that the day a woman is nominated for President millions upon millions upon millions of Marys will register to vote for the first time in their lives.
We Democrats need to win. We need to keep republican hands off the Supreme Court, we need to end the war, we need to dump the deficit, we need to care for each other through universal health care, we need to create American jobs.
Do you agree?
I thought so. Well, Karl Rove and his beady eyed researchers down in his computer room in hell don’t want us to win. And they figured out one very important Fact. If ever there is a woman nominated, 1/2 of the population will go absolutely bonkers crazy with joy.
Did I mention I might get slapped around for saying sexist crap?
Sex Sex Sex. People do it so get over it. I’m a man. I also know that woman are not men. Woman think differently, look at problems differently and generally work their butts off solving the screw ups of us men.
So, in a previous dKos diary I reported on my stripper research in Las Vegas. The synopsis being that through a tough few nights of hard work I polled the strippers of Vegas. I wore my Hillary button everywhere I went and girl/woman after girl came up to me to say how much they loved Hillary and the thought of a woman president was cool. They also told me that in their job, with children and as single mothers Hillary was the only one running who understood and cared about them.
Two of them happened to mention that they registered to vote for the first time, just so they could vote for Hillary in the primary.
Now I know, strippers might say anything for $20. But honestly, I think they were being sincere.
Invisible women, hookers and strippers. Hotel union members and convenience store cashiers. Single mothers, struggling to provide for their children. They see in Hillary their chance to finally break through. They see this not as Hillary’s race, they see it as Their race. They see it as their chance for the equal rights some still deny them. They see it as a fight for their children and the hope of a better world under a mother’s guidance.
The days and months after Hillary is nominated will see the greatest voter registration the country has ever known. There may not be enough forms available. The Republican men will be living in divided households and discovering the wonders of porn.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is the greatest threat the GOP has ever faced. She is a Woman.
