Romney Taking Vaginas Into Consideration Regarding Running Mate

Word Search of Potential Romney VP Candidates
The names being tossed around as possibilities for Mitt Romney’s running mate are many and varied.

Actually, they’re really not … everyone under consideration holds pretty hard-core right wing views, which shouldn’t be much of a surprise considering that Romney himself has a past history of being fairly liberal on social issues, and the Republican machine obviously wants to keep that under the radar.

But what does Romney’s potential veep have to do with feminism?

There is this impression, see, that Romney needs to strongly consider a female running mate because he is woefully behind Barack Obama in the vagina-sporting demographic (unlike the House floor, we at Zelda Lily are very comfortable with the word “vagina”).  In other words, if they want to pump up Romney’s support among women, let’s get a woman up there with him.

Because, you know, that worked out so well for John McCain last election

Anyway, The Fiscal Times created a list of fourteen potential running mates for Romney, and three of those names are women: Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-New Hampshire), former Secretary of State …

Gingrich Taking Heat for Playing Nice With Pelosi

There’s little question that the Republican primary is providing a great deal of entertainment to American society.  Whether it’s Michele Bachmann sticking her foot in it yet again, Rick Perry’s utterly deplorable “Strong” ad, or Herman Cain’s shenanigans leading to an early departure, watching these clowns is better than scripted reality television.

There are times, though, when it stops being funny and crosses the realm into distasteful (did I mention Rick Perry’s “Strong” ad?), shocking, and jaw-dropping.

Because I wouldn’t vote for any of the Republican candidates, though, it’s very easy to remove myself from the whole situation.  In fact, I can pretty much write it off as entertainment via the television set.

And having that degree of separation, of knowing that I’m not going to get all shocked and appalled over the myriad “open-mouth-insert-foot moments”, has really allowed me to notice the little things that might well otherwise fly under my feminist radar.

Such as Mitt Romney taking Newt Gingrich to task for being buddy-buddy with Nancy Pelosi in the past.

In case you haven’t heard, Gingrich …

Chelsea Clinton Knows the Value of Family … Do You?

There is no question that Chelsea Clinton is a poised, articulate, admirable young woman.  Somehow, against all odds when you consider other children that grew up in the White House glow, she has managed to avoid tabloid drama and pretty much any sort of negative press whatsoever.

And while her parents, former United States President Bill Clinton and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, unquestionably own a great deal of the credit, Chelsea herself …

“Fiscal Conservative” Tea Partier Owes Over A Hundred Grand in Child Support

Hypocrisy is unspeakably distasteful to me.

I think that’s most of my problem with the whole Tea Party movement.  The gist of what they’re saying sounds logical to those who aren’t educated in the ways of politics, and they use that logic to prey on the ignorant.

Their M.O. is to make themselves sound like an average citizen struggling to get by, and John Q. Minimum Wage has no idea that most of the Tea Partiers are extremely wealthy.  They collect the votes of people with legitimate financial struggles in order to put plans in place that will protect their fortunes, often at the cost of us low or middle class citizens.

It’s sickening.

Which is why I’m always kind of excited when Tea Partiers are caught with their financial pants down.  It gives me hope that the misguided people following them in droves will see the light.

Congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois, he who has accused Barack Obama of “spending like a drunken sailor”, allegedly owes well over $100,000 in back child support.

For those of you unfamiliar with the child support concept, there is a standard …
