Move Along, Sweetheart, Now Let The Men Talk!

This will never happen again, I am sure, but I'm going to stick up (gulp) a bit for Michele Bachmann. I'm not even going to post some kind of crazy picture of her (after all she doesn't need MY help there). But here goes.

How many times during this 26 week run of that reality show called the Republican debates have we heard this woman say "I am a serious candidate"? Oh it may be funny to some as this lunatic hollers for attention on those various stages but you want to know something? She is right. She IS a serious candidate for the presidency. She is every bit as serious as Hillary was, or Pat Schroeder was, or Shirley Chisholm was back in the 70"s. But for some reason she is dismissed by the moderators as a sort of side show cheerleader yeah that's nice honey now move along type. That, my friends, is pure old fashioned sexism.

Hey look, the ONLY one of these nuts vying to lose to Barack Obama to ever win a goddamned "election" is Michele Bachman. Remember that straw poll wayyyyyyy back when in Ames? Yeah, she bought it, she paid for it and she fucking WON. Give her some respect.

She isn't going to win. She isn't going to last beyond this Tuesday's Iowa bullshit. But it sort of pisses me off that this woman is dismissed while others fall all over a worse whackjob like Ron Paul, or an empty suit like Mittens Romney, or a bloated snake like Newt Gingrich. Criticize Bachmann all you like, and I have. She is a terrible candidate and of questionable sanity but she deserves a bit of respect from the male moderators of these debates and the Sunday morning borefests.

Just looking out for the chicks, man. Even females who loathe the very being of a Michele Bachmann, or a Condi Rice, or a dope like Virginia Fox must know deep down what I mean. For if the powers that be dismiss a female candidate who has actually won something now, they will do the same when a viable Democratic female candidate runs.

Let's destroy all these Republican blowhards. But let's do it equally. Their views are medieval. And unfortunately, they are all "serious" candidates.
