Well apparently the ‘Official Slut’ of the Democrat Party was able to make some time in what must be her very busy schedule of constantly being on her back, to bob to the surface just long enough to make an appearance on MSNBC. Now I’m sure you all remember Ms. Sandra Fluke, that former "reproductive justice" advocate at Georgetown Law School. It seems that she has now decided to put all of her vast knowledge acquired from spending what must have been years staring at a ceiling, to good use, embarking on a new mission. That being, getting more women to run for elective office.
In what was a brief interview on MSNBC Friday morning, the brilliant Ms. Fluke was asked by, what must have been, one of those stellar 'journalists' there at MSNBC, aka Barry propaganda headquarters, to provide some political insight. Specifically, whether she thought Republicans are remiss in not asking more women to run for office. Now I must admit that I had absolutely no clue that her expertise was so vast. I assumed that it was pretty much limited to possibly being able to recommend various sexual positions that would provide the greatest chance of achieving the best outcome.
In responding to the question, Ms. Fluke said, "I think there are a variety of concerns about how we get women into office." She then went on to say, "It's not only about asking women, which is something we need to do -- but also about making sure that the party leadership and those in elected office are looking for women to succeed them." What a genius, right? Hey here's a concept, how about we focus solely on finding the most qualified people that we can, regardless of their gender, to run for office? People who are genuinely interested in getting our country back on track.
Fluke, obviously a very liberal Democrat, said she hopes the Republican Party succeeds in getting more women to run. "We need to have women representing diverse ideological perspectives," she said. "But in terms of the voter base -- they're not going to get the majority of women's votes until their policies change." After her appearance on MSNBC, Fluke was heading off to San Francisco where she was scheduled to appear at an Emily's List luncheon for a panel discussion on women in politics. Man, wouldn’t you have loved to been a fly on the wall for that one! That must have been hilarious.
Joining her during in what was this silly little MSNBC skit was, of course, none other than Texas State Sen. Wendy Davis, the Democrat who it's being rumored is planning on making a run for governor of Texas. Now her main claim to fame, and perhaps her only claim to fame, stems from pretty much nothing more than her little episode from earlier this summer. That of course being her 11-hour filibuster in defense of all things, "abortion rights." And also I heard that she recently posed for a spread in Vogue, although, personally, I would have thought Monster Magazine as more appropriate.
Fluke told MSNBC on Friday, "If we truly want to have a democracy, we have to make sure that our government looks like our population. And right now it doesn't." It should come as no surprise, I suppose, that she hailed Hitlery Clinton as being a positive role model for female leadership: "We see what a difference it makes internationally, the message that we send to the world, when we have women in leadership." But I'm thinking that, maybe, she should have looked for a little better example than 'Benghazi Hitlery' to bolster her argument. Just sayin. Hitlery ain’t much of a leader.
Look, I'm all in favor of finding more women to run for office. But at the same time I do not think that gender, like race, should play a part in determining any candidate's qualifications. After all, haven't we learned anything from the disastrous results you get when you elect someone whose only qualification for office is that he's black? What we need to focus on is the electing of the most qualified conservatives that we can find. And it shouldn't really matter what race they are nor should it matter what gender they are. The country is going down the tubes and liberalism is what's to blame!
