No sexism here, no sirree!
Right minded says that he believes the world is ready for a female president, so long as that woman is a conservative. Fair enough-- right minded is a conservative blog. However, he seems unaware of the contradiction inherent in stating:
Should Hillary Clinton lose, you can bet the farm that many on the left will accuse Republican voters of sexism, much the same way we were labeled racists last November for not electing Harold Ford, Jr. to the U.S. Senate. It wasn't Junior's race that sent him packing, however. It was his liberalism. Likewise, it won't be Hillary Clinton's gender that provides her undoing, but her politics.
Which might be a fair statement had he not just said:
But back in the 1970's, she managed to attach herself to an intelligent, affable young man with political ambitions, and rode his coattails all the way to the White House.
See, in the liberal, non-sexist world, women don't attach themselves to men, but rather men and women find commonalities of personality and fall in love, thereby allowing for mutual support. At the end of the day, the belief that Hillary and Bill don't love one another is a belief based upon the old sexist notions of relationships and power. It might be what keeps her out of the White House...
