It's a weird phenomenon of late but the Democrats have become downright misogynistic. Every woman who is runing for office or nominated instantly comes under major scrutiny and general scorn.
At first I thought they were just hypocrites because they attacked only Republicans like Condi Rice, Katherine Harris and any other woman who threatened their ideology or power.
But then I watched what they did to Hillary Clinton. Hillary was the can't-miss candidate and they backed her unquestionably. Partly because she still carried enough clout to neuter them politically but also because she was their ticket to power that had been lost. Remember, it was a little over a year ago that the entire party was fawning over her.
Enter Barack Obama. As soon as it became clear that BHO had any shot at winning the nomination, they dumped Hillary like a blind date who revealed she had herpes. Not only did they drop her, they belittled her and even went so far as playing the race card.
I won't even go into the sexism they displayed with Sarah Palin as that's been well documented.
Now we see how they treated Caroline Kennedy. Granted, she would have been a horrible selection but the way they eviscerated her was even worse than what Republicans could have dreamed of.
That brings us to the woman who was selected by Gov. David Paterson--Kirsten Gillibrand. As soon as Gillibrand was announced, they pounced on her like a kitten on a ball of yarn. Here's a taste:
“Nobody really likes her,” sniped one New York City-area member, speaking on condition of anonymity.That's not just political, that's personal. They hate her, her politics and everything else about her. But mostly, they hate her because she's a woman.
“She's smart and capable, but she's rubbed people the wrong the way,” said another.
Ask yourself; why would they be so against an attractive, capable legislator? I asked myself that when Palin was running but I digress.
I ask again, why does the Democrat Party hate women?

I know why they hate this one: she looks like a girl, and a rather good looking one at that.
Wait until they primary her butt in 2010, the lunatics from the City will chew her up and spit her out before she even knew she was dripping saliva.
