Remember when former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was out stumping for twice failed Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton and she said that line about women and Hell. As reported by the “UK Guardian”:

Former secretary of state Madeleine Albright introduced Hillary Clinton at an event in New Hampshire on Saturday, telling the crowd and voters in general: “There’s a special place in hell for women who don’t help each other!”

Well, out of the 57 (hyperbole alert) candidates running for President in 2016, Hillary Clinton was number 73 for me. Even the threat of Hell from the fearsome Madeleine Albright couldn’t convince me to vote for a woman who I found reprehensible. And, I think I have a mild case of Oppositional Defiant Disorder in that I really, really resent being told that I must do something. Something like support women candidates because I am a woman. While I would really rather not go to Hell and be separated from God for eternity, I’ll take the party bus to Hell if it means I get to think for myself and support the candidate whose values and ideology most mirror my own.

There is nothing on this planet that screams competent, independent and thinking less than walking in lock step wearing a pussy hat and voting for a woman just because she is a woman. And, then this happened.

While perusing Facebook, I noticed that a female candidate for U.S. Congress from my district is supported by a group called “Winning for Women”. Now, this candidate has a spectacularly impressive resume. She is a former Air Force Reservist and currently in the Tennessee Air National Guard. She is a KC- 135R Stratotanker Aircraft Commander, with the current rank of Lt. Colonel. She has four underage children. I am exhausted just reading that. So why play the “woman card”?

I love being a woman. My friends are all women. However, my Dad was a man, my husband is a man and so is my son. I want all Tennesseans and all citizens of the United States of America to be represented by someone who doesn’t need to play any card. The only card needed is The Constitution of the United States. So, I just kind of asked on Facebook and then, this happened.

Now, the candidate and I were having a nice exchange and then her friend butted in and proceeded to insult me. She now claims she wasn’t, but she was. She insulted this blog and the owner of this blog. Well, women if you want to support women candidates don’t insult potential voters. Don’t engage them in a negative way. It’s one thing to say why you support a candidate. Don’t insult men or women.

Many of us serve our country in many ways. On Wednesday, rather than going to meet this candidate, I am going to support my friends who happen to be a Gold Star Family. And, besides I think we have already asked too much of this candidate. She is currently serving and has four kids under their majorities. We don’t want to burden her with a Congressional seat. She is already Superwoman.
