The GOP has a habit of being fairly disresepctful to women's rights, this is true. But being a Dem should not guarantee protection against criticism if one of their members are doing the same.Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

WhatIsAUsername 0 #10 July 24, 2013 What's the point of this post? To notify everyone of another woman who has been sexually harassed? Or to point out another corrupt and above-the-law employee of the United States Government & Co.? Either way, I fail to see how him being a democrat (or even republican, had you said that) makes this any different? That would be like saying "White/black/Thai/Brazilian employee sexually harassed a female." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Channman 2 #20 July 25, 2013 airdvr Second woman accuses San Diego mayor of sexual harassment http://www.cnn.com/2013/07/23/politics/california-san-diego-mayor/index.html?hpt=po_c2 I'm wondering if Bob Filner and Anthony Weiner qualify as "Creepy White Ass Crackers"? If you were walking through a neighborhood with an Ice Tea and skittles and Anthony Weiner were following you, and possibly on the phone with Bob Filner. It's possible they want to get all up into your goodies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Channman 2 #21 July 25, 2013 I was reading an article on the Oscar Mayer Boy, and there were attached comments at the bottom of the article. This comment stood out. " It tells us all we need to know. But most registered Democrats under 30 have trouble reading and especially comprehending something they tried to read. How can they be informed..? Can CNN and MSNBC and NBC start doing Puppet shows...?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lawrocket 3 #22 July 25, 2013 devildog***Not exactly sure the Replublican party has the moral high ground when it comes to respecting women. Especially if you consider women's rights. Oh, you mean like the right to vote? Oh wait... Careful there. He doesn't understand the conflict in his position. It can be summarized as follows: (1) White Men have rights that are, well, just natural. (2) Women, like animals, should have no rights until white men give them rights (3) If white men don't sign off on the rights, then women don't have any rights. Inherent in the argument is the innate supremacy of white men. For example, a woman who has to pay for birth control is placed at equilibrium with a white man who has to pay for birth control - a natural recognition of equality. But if birth control for a woman is made into something that only white men can provide, then that, of course, means that white men control the fate of women. In a sense, it inherently reinforces a conception of male supremacy - that women need more in order to make them equal. What should women be doing? Showing up an press conferences to support their scumbag husbands. There's a place for a beautiful, intelligent and sophisticated woman like Huma Albedin. Like Silda Wall Spitzer. Like Jane Merrill. Like Hillary Clinton. Quade's position is that the Bill of Rights and the 14th Amendment and equal protection under the laws should not apply to women except the specific rights that white men give them. I absolutely don't believe that Paul consciously believes himself superior to women. But the thinking that women cannot compete or be equals until men tell them they are is inherently chauvenistic. It's not the 1800s anymore. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

devildog 0 #24 July 25, 2013 I see what you're saying, and I've thought similar things before, but I was being quite simplistic in my comment. It wasn't the Republicans that were staunchly opposed to women being granted the right to vote when it passed, it was the Democrats (same thing with civil rights as well).You stop breathing for a few minutes and everyone jumps to conclusions.

lawrocket 3 #25 July 25, 2013 [Reply] Why "beautiful"? Would you ever see yourself calling out the need for handsome, intelligent, and sophisticated men? What about a "need?" Look - like it or not, appearance is important for all sides and sexes. Yes, plenty look at handsome, intelligent and sophisticated men. My wife? Intelligent, sophisticated and beautiful. If you think that her physical beauty isn't a plus, you are mistaken. It is what it is. Jackie Kennedy/Onassis? How about her husband - who debated Nixon on television and famously looked a lot better? Looks open doors for all sides. "What's she doing with him?" Yeah. I've heard it. My wife is hotter than your wife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
