Marsha Blackburn Explores the Mind of a Conservative Woman

The Mind of a Conservative Woman by Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is an insightful commentary for all women regardless of their political affiliation. Blackburn delves into maintaining the traditions of family, freedom, faith, a free market, and respecting those with differing opinions.

She exclaimed, "Nearly a decade ago, I wrote the book, Life Equity. My literary agent told me I should write a second book. I laid out the premise of the new book. I thought how women in the public eye elevated to office told me that conservative women are treated differently than liberal women. The mainstream media will elevate liberal women yet mock and diminish conservative women."

Fairness is not always prevalent. What the senator wants is an even playing field. "In my book, there is a chapter where I discuss how the liberals want everybody to spout their talking points even if someone is not in complete agreement. Some of the liberal women's organizations sent an open letter to all of the newsrooms. It explained how people should talk to a female vice presidential candidate — basically, what could and could not be said and how to approach them. I fired off a letter to all of the signatories and all of the newsrooms, stating that this treatment should apply to all women. Of course, I got zero response on my letter."

The book encourages women to believe in themselves, think for themselves, and strive to be the best they can to succeed. "When I would speak to groups of women, they would always tell me during a Q&A how they considered themselves independent, neither a Democrat or Republican. They want to make up their minds about an issue by doing research.

One of the handful of senators I consider reliably conservative.

Marsha was the congresscritter for an area near Nashville for years...10 years before she ran for the Senate I told her we needed her there...

Finally she did run and I finally had someone to vote for...

I never voted for Alexander or Corker...
