God Love Madeleine As She Tries to Keep Us Women Folk In Line

ANOTHER FEMINIST FIZZLE 

A MODERN DAY DON QUIXOTE FIGHTING STRAW MEN WITHOUT QUESTIONING IF THEY'RE EVEN REAL

GOSH MADELEINE, WHAT CAN A DUMB SOUTHERN WHITE WOMAN such as I say in defense of your sweeping, impatient statements wondering why any female voters would ever cast their vote for Mitt Romney in November?

At the outset, I know nothing I  say would ever convince you to reconsider your harsh statement and try to understand. We live in two different world views/ paradigms and moral systems light-years apart. It appears, never the twain shall meet.

Still I'd like to innumerate just a few of the reasons why I plan to vote the Romney/Ryan ticket with impunity in November (and donate to their election) and hope lots of other women will too:

1. Mitt is a grown-up with a world of life experiences.

2. He's a faithful, kind and caring husband to Ann and eschews womanizing, alcohol and drugs, tobacco, foul language and tattoos.  Mitt comes across as a man of character and integrity.

3. Mitt is a father and grandfather who seems to have garnered the love and respect of his entire family over the decades.

4. Romney clearly loves our country and is not afraid to show it in words and action. He can stand up to our nation's enemies and detractors.

5. Mitt knows how to lead and is a leader in his family, his church, his various workplaces---state government and businesses---as well as the non-profit sector, and hopefully, as leader of our country. His record and the many employees---men and women---who know him speak favorably to this reality.

6. He's not from Chicago.

7. He's squeaky clean.

8. Mitt stands more on principle than the latest politically correct  fads du jour. He's not perfect and can certainly change his mind on things. But this man is not a serial flip-flopper.

9. Mitt believes in the sanctity of life and one-man/one woman marriage. It's a quaint and silly notion, but many of us still believe it and will continue to stand up for it in spite of endless badgering and intimidation.

10.  Mitt knows how to pinch a penny which is why he's got plenty of money, has had businesses which have employed hundreds of people. It's why the state of Massachusetts' credit rating was upgraded while he was governor.

11. He's a hard-working, dull (to some) man who makes the world a better place for women and men alike.

12. He has an iPod with uncool music!

13. Mitt's not afraid to be wealthy and successful.

14. Joe Biden is not his running mate.

15. I like all the extremely impressive lineup of women who spoke on behalf of his candidacy at the Republican convention last week from Condi Rice and Nikki Haley to Susana Martinez. They are all feminine accomplished people who have overcome major obstacles in life. Whatta a group of outstanding, hard-working leaders and role models.

There are many more reasons for women to like Mitt, but that's all I have time for this morning.
