“Republican men have been effectively silenced by our nations moderators.”
You think that Republican women such as Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann haven’t been attacked as often and as much as Republican men have been?
The women are leading the charge. All the men have to do is fall in line behind them, and back them up.
That’s not a hard job.
Nobody refers to them as “old white women” or such; the lack of a penis somehow gives any woman’s input more weight than a man’s in today politically correct culture. The 2008 election cycle was a real dilemna for the left, as they supported an “all-male” ticket against a mixed one. Race trumped gender, and Palin’s pro-life stance certainly didn’t help her in terms of the media.
The white male vote is no longer up for grabs; since they are solidly in the Repub camp after a brief post-Clinton dabbling with the Kenyan Pirate (more out of desperation than anything else), they have been written out of any national debate on anything. Because the women’s vote is in play (particularly the white women), the political figures have to handle them with kid gloves while Jon Stewart and Saturday Night Live do their dirty work for them on Repub women.
No Dem politicians have been as brutal with either of those women as they were with GWB; there is too much risk for them in that.
