2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumIt’s amazing how many women Republicans can insult in just one week
A great video from Emilys Lists, titled #GOPHeartsLadies, walking us through the offensive things Republicans have said about women in just the past seven days.
It starts with GOP Governor of Mississippi Phil Bryant talking about how working moms are to blame for American kids having such lousy test scores.

(4,309 posts)Love your screen name, by the way. I actually "awoke" in 2004. Bush pushed me into liberal activism that year. I thank that asshole for that.

(4,309 posts)Finalizing my divorce, attending the March For Women's Lives in DC (my first demonstration!), getting active in the anti-war/peace movement, learning about feminism and becoming, at 45, a self-actualizing, confident, voting and vocal liberal.
I alienated a lot of my more conservative friends and family members but is has been worth it. Very much so!

(126 posts)And they are all competing for the high score....
All rational women in the United States who value their freedom, equality, justice and right to choose should vote against EVERY SINGLE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE on the ballot in 2014. Republican politicians have made it clear through their actions that that they want to return this country back to the 19th century and make all women subservient second class citizens so they can reassert their traditional phony religious, fundamentalist, patriarchal, misogynist ideals which they have the nerve to call FAMILY VALUES! More like Family BS!

(205 posts)Perhaps it is true statement in TeaHadist Pub land.
Face it Pubs can say any dumb assed thing they want because they know their base will not vote for anyone but Pubs.
The GOP base wants the Bryant's, they love folks like King and Cruz.
The people the TeaHadists and Pubs elect are a direct reflection of themselves, ignorant, superstitious, racist, misogynistic fucks.
