Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Gender Bias?

Democratic Presidential Hopefuls, Senators Chris Dodd and Barak Hussein Obama, and Former Senator John Edwards, have launched harsh attacks against Democratic frontrunner, Senator Hillary Clinton.

Already, some in the media, and even Senator Clinton herself, are blaming the attacks on "Boys Club Politics." In other words, they are saying that she is being attacked because she is a woman. I can't hardly begin to tell you how moronic this supposition is. Isn't it obvious that they are attacking her because she is ahead of them in the polls, and if she gets the nomination, they automatically don't? She is a political rival, a politician running for the same office. In fact, it isn't even really fair to say that they are attacking her, since what they are doing is called "campaigning."

Some have said that she is being attacked because she is the first woman to run for President, and that's not even true. Oh sure, she's the first woman to have a real chance at being elected President, but she's hardly the first woman to declare candidacy. And again, it's not why they are after her. Besides, B. Hussein Obama is the first black man who has a real chance at the Presidency, so is Hillary racist for running against him? Of course not.

On the same topic, one of the things John Edwards said was that the Republicans are going after Hillary already because they want her to get the nomination because they know they can beat her. I've got news for you John, most of the Republicans are after Hillary simply because they feel it is a given that she will get the nomination, so they are gearing up to fight her now, in fact, if we were able to pick the Democrat to run against, and we based it on who we could most easily beat, you, Mr. Edwards, would be the first choice of most Republicans.

On another note, sorry that it has been so long since my last post, was busy with family, and then my Internet connection was down, but I will try to get back to posting at least a few times a week. Don't forget to leave comments and vote in my polls.
