Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

Attacked For Their Looks

Posted July 29, 2005 11:42am ET

An excellent column by Cheri Pierson Yecke in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune today. Yecke is a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives who—like me—is tired of politicos resorting to name-calling in lieu of debate.

And, like Yecke, I have noticed a pattern:

“Where are the feminists? Their silence speaks volumes about their convictions and partisan leanings. After all, it is mainly conservative women who have been the victims of this sort of media slashing. Sad to say, with few exceptions, the circling vultures are left-leaning women.”

As I have said many times, there are plenty of valid points for the left to debate. It’s time to stop being petty.

Scott Bradford has been building web sites and using them to say what he thinks since 1995, which tended to get him in trouble with power-tripping assistant principals at the time. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University, but has spent most of his career (so far) working on public- and private-sector web sites. He is not a member of any political party, and brands himself an ‘independent constitutional conservative.’ In addition to holding down a day job and blogging about challenging subjects like politics, religion, and technology, Scott is also a devout Catholic, gun-owner, bike rider, and music lover with a wife and two cats.
