Have I Mentioned That I Really Like

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R, Tn)? Well, I do. Just watched her on a DVR'd episode (I know, get a Life) of Hannity. She is an intelligent, well spoken, tough, conservative, and attractive woman. What is not to like? She needs to get more media exposure. Palin, Blackburn, Bachmann, there is a trend forming here. More and more the real rising stars of conservativism are bright and attractive women. Something the libs have very few of. They are mostly of the homely, shrill, hateful women variety. I have always thought the louder you are and the more you repeat mantras the less intelligent you are. By that measure most of the uber lib women are pretty un-intelligent.
I find it interesting that so many of the voices I hear speaking true conservatism and really making me have some hope that someone in D.C. Gets it, are Women. Look who is probably the most conservative leader in Europe, Angela Merkel of Germany. I would have zero problem supporting any of these, and several others, for higher office.

I used to live in Tennessee and lived in her district in the 02 election. I voted for her. I can't think of a single vote that I am more proud of than Marsha. She made alot of promises on the campaign trail that seemed almost impossible to keep and she has to my knowledge kept them all. She has exceed mine and most Tennessean's expectations. For me she rivals Palin as a choice for Pres in 2012.

On another note, we in S.Florida experienced a rare (for us) MCV (land cane) today. Similar in strength to the one you experienced recently. We had 80 mph winds and lots of hail. The factor that prevented major damage is the extremely strict building codes here. Also, anything shoddy was removed by Francis, Jeanne, Wilma, and Faye, all of which made that MCV (landcane) look like a light shower.
Another way to state your post is the typical washington communist female is what most men would call a "cheap date". These new rising conservative women are what most men would call "marriage material."

Angela Merkel is as conservative as John Kerry. That's not meant to be an insult to Merkel, but to the rest of the European elitist leadership.

I think I have offended enough folks for one day. :0)

I don't understand why libs are so threatened by conservative women. I mean, obviously jealousy is part of it...maybe mommy issues? That would explain why they want to be treated like children by the government. I've heard great things about Blackburn, and I'm already a huge fan of both Palin and Bachmann.

It's slightly obnoxious how strong, conservative women immediately get eaten alive by the media. Palin and Bachmann have both been ridiculed as idiots, crazy fundamentalists, anti-feminists, etc. And even though she's not a politician, Carrie Prejean has been completely trashed because of her stance on gay marriage. It's unfortunate that so many of our own allow this to go on. Any Democrat who says the Republican party consists of nothing but stuffy old white men should take a look at their own "stuffy, old, white male" party leaders--Bill Clinton, Teddy Kennedy, John Kerry, Harry Reid, Joe Biden, Janet Napolitano, etc.

They have a way to combat this though--black conservatives are Uncle Toms, and female conservatives are anti-feminist fundamentalist whack jobs. So much for being the party of acceptance and compassion.

Great entry, KOOK.

I don't know about the rest of the conservative world, but I think we need more women on our side. Dems always get the woman demographic by around 60/40. Having women out there presenting our side will appeal to those traditional women who could go either way. At a time when all the talk is how conservatives are losing their voting base, gaining the female demographic is almost a necessity. Not only that, but if women actually listened to the true conservative message, many would agree with our principles. Drooz is right, this is a good subject for discussion.
We won't ever gain some of them, and I don't know why. The Gop has always been on the right side of women's issues. Feminism's single issue (abortion) is the only one we do not agree with

I saw a bumper sticker once that said "she isn't a woman, she's a republican!" I think this is the view of more than you would think. Dems do a better job of marketing and they potray themselves as the party of fairness, empathy and compassion which are all admirable feminine traits...to bad they are disingenuous.
I agree that we won't get all of them, but having good woman role models to get the message out could easily reverse that 60/40 to a 40/60 which swing many national elections.

I believe the Dems marketing dishonesty is beginning to haunt them. They are slipping in the polls now, especially with the auto-plant closings. People still say they like Obama, but are demonstrating a very different opinions about his policies. That is simply the "honeymoon" effect. Give it a year and people will judge Obama on his policies (minus the majority of people of a certain race).
I saw the same interview KOOK. She is a fairly articulate and seemingly intelligent woman. Some consideration might be given to her for a Senate run in Tenn.

I would love it if she could replace Lamar Alexander. Despite the fact that my mother worked under Alexander when he was in the Tennessee education system, he leans strongly toward the RINO side of the Republican party. Marsha would make a great counter to Nancy Pelosi. When Pelosi sows up in the news and makes a statement, and Marsha is the one to counter, no matter how hard the media tries to Make Marsh look like and idiot, Pelosi will be the idiot. There was a similar effect with Reagan. The media called him a hick, warmonger, buffoon and quite a few things that I won't mention, yet Reagan turned it all back on the media. Palin would have (and did at times) had that same effect if Mccain would have really turned her loose. The more I watch what is happening, and knowing how much of a RINO Mccain is, we would have many of the same problems as we do now, yet the media would make him out to be a far right loon, which would get an insane communist elected in 2012. The people by that time would be so desperate for change that there would be no tea parties, no backlash against the military cuts and wasteful spending. As much as I hate to say it, America needs a kick in the pants to wake us up and unfortunately that kick will be a painful one.
KOOK, don't feel bad about DVRing political television. In order to keep this blog and maintain the standards of quality material that makes this blog unique, work has to be done. Rush, Levinn and Beck all do similar work. If you didn't have a high standard of material in your posts, I never would have wanted to join you. We have those 63 and 56 ratings as well as growing followers for a reason. That reason is we do our homework. It is something to be proud of. I am proud to be a co-contributor and sideKOOK. I hope that feeling is mutual because I put in quite a bit of effort to make this blog both educational and fun. I have even practiced my ranting skills so that my writing is more in line with the stated goals of the blog. I noticed this morning that we have more followers today. At this rate we will be right alongside Rush and Beck in 30 million years!!!! Seriously though, I appreciate all of you who are with us here and especially KOOK for letting me join him in trying to make this country and this world a better place.
I agree. Marsha Blackburn's a gem and not of the homely (Nancy Pelosi), shrill (Nancy Pelosi), or hateful (Nancy Pelosi) mien. (Oh, and Barbara Boxer.)
