For those who are uninitiated in the murky world of politics, Obama is the classic America-land-of-equal-opportunity poster boy!In him,Democrats have given the people of America the golden opportunity to walk the talk. The only way for Republicans to make Obama a one-time president is by matching the democrat's idea.Believe you me, no American is ready to be ,even remotely, associated with the term White-supremacist or racist by voting against Obama.Therefore,a white male republican candidate against Obama will end up being an also-ran.
As far as matching the democrat's idea goes,a white conservative lady perfectly fits the bill.For starters, Women have been one major 'race' that has been treated as second class citizens for so long. This is especially so in politics. By giving a woman the chance,the Republicans will be able to convince the voters that they are walking the talk of equal opportunity,albeit with a difference: gender equality.
Secondly,as evidenced by the mid-term beating the democrats received from the Tea-party conservatives, clearly this is the way to in 2012.
Thirdly,ladies pack quite a numerical punch as far as voter numbers are concerned.Following the news of the Saudi Arabia's women suffrage-rights fights, they might decide to finally make their votes count and...
Incidentally, this seems to be the season of Lady-leaders, from Thailand to Argentina...
Michelle Bachmann might just be what the doctors ordered!

God: "Dad or mum?"
I recently had an insightful conversation with a certain male octogenarian. He intimated that immediately he held his first born in his arms,he said just one simple prayer."God if you ever decide to take one of us(his wife or him), please let it be me".
He went right ahead to explain to me the reasoning behind this very unselfish prayer:" If my wife is taken and I am left with the kids, the kids might end up growing up as "street children".This is because chances are, I will hook up with another woman,raise her kids and neglect mine.
However, if God were to take me I could rest in peace with the assurance that my kids will do just fine.If need be, she would go out of her way to look for a man to provide for the kids".
Fortunately both of them are still alive, on their way to their late seventies.

Chief Justice/Deputy Chief Justice, Kenya Vs "the weakness mentality"
Out of thousands of qualified people for the post of chief justice,ONLY one lady applied.All the other qualified ladies applied for the lesser,"more fitting", and "weaker" position of the deputy chief Justice.Why?
I state,without the fear of contradiction,that the ladies felt that the chief Justice is too senior and manly a position for a normal lady to execute. This weakness mentality has to END!

LADIES- CHANGE-THE- WORLD MOVEMENT!
Hi intelligent, lady
1. It is time to move on up past the equality debate. In fact, and as far as I can tell, ladies are more equal than men!
2. Ladies are as good leaders as (some even better than) their male counterparts! Extensive research shows that companies with many ladies in positions of decision making consistently outperform their competitors. Actually, a country without equal representation of ladies in all decision making positions is like a home without a mother!
3.We don't have a shortage of qualified lady-leaders. However, we have a severe shortage of lady voters who realize that they have the power of change in their hands.The power of Equal representation is in your hands, or rather, your vote. Vote only for lady candidates and change the world!
In most countries ladies make up over 50% registered voters. When all ladies vote for lady candidates,we will have gender equality in elective positions,thereby opening up a highway for the achievement of MDG3( Millennium Development Goal #3,ie gender equality)
Tell as many lady acquaintances (friends and enemies) as possible. Start with all those phonebook contacts,workmates,social media friends etc.
Do this for your daughter: by voting for a lady, you will give her many role models to look up to,on top of proving to her that you believe ladies are strong and capable!
In my books it doesn't sound intelligent for a lady to stand in a voting line for hours, vote for a man, and then shout at the top of her voice that "the government should empower women"!
It is time for ladies like you to change the world by empowering women with your vote!
You may also join me at the group strength of a woman-Kenya
on facebook
This project is being funded by intelligent ladies like you. I'll take your one dollar or 100 bob,and hope you don't go broke as a result! Feel free to use the M-pesa a/c below. Thanx a bunch!

N/B:I am planning to accomplish three things by the end of the day:
1. Put a fullstop at the end of the following sentence"ladies and gentlemen are EQUAL."
2. Start the following sentence "Ladies and gentlemen, lets start behaving as equal, thinking human beings"
3.bridge the gap between gender- equality-rights principle and practice

Gender and politics: Saudi Arabia
Ladies in Saudi Arabia are up in arms over the political system's continued refusal to change and allow ladies the right to vote.It is unfortunate that at this time and age some countries still do not recognize ladies as human enough to merit the suffrage rights!
However,when all is said and done, what is the use of fighting for a right that wont change anything anyway? Even if they end up getting those suffrage rights they will still vote for men!
They can always visit Kenya or the US of A for afew lessons on confusing activity with achievement!
Then again,maybe Saudi Arabia ladies know that ladies are as good leaders(and some even better than) their male counterparts!
