Nikki Haley has anounced that she will formally anounce on Feb 15th that she is running for president in 2024. Her lame campaign slogan is “new leadership.” While she is aiming that at President Biden, it’s also an indirect dig at the insurrectionist running for dictator. Too bad Nikki Haley is old wine turned to vinegar in a Franzia box. Here is a link to some of Nikki Haley’s positions. Basically, she’s a typical Republicans with tax cuts for the wealthy and budget cuts for the rest of us. Oh, she was for the previous economic extortion of not raising the debt ceiling without austerity under Obama. And we all see how that worked out for the rest of us. Did I mention she is a wealthy woman? But one thing that REALLY stands out about Haley is that she is hard core anti-choice woman who loves to lecture the rest of women on what the definition of a true feminist is. This was Haley before the SCOTUS overturned Roe: WASHINGTON — Giving the keynote address at a gala for the Susan B. Anthony List, a pro-life group, former ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley made comments critical of the pro-choice movement's stance on feminism and the current debate over abortion rights. In a video posted by Fox Business, Haley told the crowd that the abortion advocates who "demand conformity" of women on the issue of abortion are not real feminists. “Unfortunately, many on the left use the abortion debate to divide women and demand conformity. They do this in the name of feminism. But that is not real feminism," she said at the event in Washington, D.C. "The idea that women must adhere to a particular set of values is one of the most anti-women ideas in today’s culture," she continued. I’m an old guy who has never had any children, but even I see some wonderful flaws in Haley’s comments. However, I found another woman who took some issues with Haley’s anti-choice stance. Whoopi Goldberg to Nikki Haley on abortion rights: ‘I don’t want you in my coochie!’ She’s just getting warmed up. Goldberg took exception during an extended discussion on “The View.” “Let me get this straight,” Goldberg said. “So giving a woman a choice about what to do with her body is anti-feminist because … I say it all the time. You have the right never to have an abortion. You have that right, and I support that.” “But what about the 9-year-old girl who gets raped by a family member or some thug in the street?” she asked. “Why are you taking her mother’s discussion with her family, what their choice is, why are you taking it out of their hands? See to me, you taking choice from people is anti-human, so I don’t understand.” “I don’t say that everybody has to believe, but I say you want to have choice, I don’t want you in my coochie!” Goldberg later added. “You don’t want me in yours either.” Taking away a woman’s right to reproductive choice is imposing CONFORMITY on all women! Even a not very observant old white guy like myself can see that! Now, besides the obvious hypocrisy and lies from Nikky Haley, I focus on her position on abortion because Republicans want her to run for president as a heat shield for the backlash from women over the SCOTUS decision. Haley is the Herschel Walker for the GOP’s war on women. And Republicans have embraced misogyny (see Trump). Once again, we will have the media being befuddled by Republicans claiming “How can we hate women when we have Nikki Haley running for president?!!” I don’t know. I seem to recall a lot of misogyny and sexism during Hillary Clinton’s run in 2016. And how often do we see jokes and the word for a female dog being thrown at former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi? I seem to recall a bunch of rioters wanting to kill Pelosi on Jan 6th. But the whole “Let’s make women second class citizens” bit by taking away a fundamental right of privacy may not really sell well to women voters in 2024. And having a self-righteous woman telling women that a fetus is more important than they are is just a bit insulting to say the least. OK. I’m a man, and I’m insulted. I have no idea how pissed off women will be by Haley, but I do not think Democratic and indepedent women will give her a hug. I gave up on trying to figure out Republican women a long time ago. Who knows what they will think of Haley? But some Republican men will cheer her on. However, they will NOT vote for her in the primaries. Why vote for a woman when you have the real deal with the likes of Trump or any other white Republican male? Go on and waste your time and energy Haley. I have my serious doubts that you would even make a VP pick for the eventual nomimee. The Republican man who eventually gets the nod will pick another woman for VP over you.
