Mayor? She was GOVERNOR. Try keeping up.

Hating infanticide = hating women

This is not Sarah bashing, exactly, but I’m thinking that holding her up as a shining example of Republican bonding with strong women will be more effective after she, say, gets elected to something bigger than small-town mayor and actually finishes her term. Until then, she’s just another celeb with a book to shill.

Ohio Rep. Deborah Pryce, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference from 2003 to 2007… “‘… I have to tell you, watching this go on, I’ve had some déjà vu back to 1975.’
“‘It has been very difficult to watch,’ she added.

Christ. Is she going to start sobbing like Nancy Pelosi too?

Tell it to Sarah Palin you choked-up wh-re.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz … wanted to ‘express … my concern over … Republicans’ ‘back-of-the-hand’ treatment to women, issues that are important to women, particularly women’s health.’”

Same goes for you too Debbie.

“Women tend to have a more practical, less ideological way of approaching life and, therefore, approaching politics, and our party doesn’t always take kindly to that,’ said former Ohio Rep. Deborah Pryce.

This is transparent excuse-mongering, a way to pass off a different set of principles + deliberate deception as “women’s practicality”. Scozzafava believes in principles too, just a different set of principles.

Pryce is being selfish, parochial and unserious in a “gee-it-would’ve-been-so-great-if-my-friend-had-been-elected” kind of way. She may even like Scozzafava personally (whether directly or by proxy through their mutual friend) and, if she wants to vote for Scozz, that’s her right. But she does not have the right to manipulate the political process to force that decision on the rest of us, and passing off that desire as “women’s practicality” is just being gratuitously insulting to women.

“Scozzafava endorsed Owens the weekend prior to Election Day, enraging her Republican colleagues, many of which told POLITICO on Friday that she would face a cold reception when the Assembly reconvened on Monday

Anyone want to bet she’ll cry?

‘Women tend to have a more practical, less ideological way of approaching life and, therefore, approaching politics, and our party doesn’t always take kindly to that,’ said former Ohio Rep. Deborah Pryce

So women are less “ideological”? They have fewer ideals or principles that they’ll stand up for? They hold to ideals less strongly and are more likely to pitch them away for questionable reasons?

You know, I respect women a bit too much to agree that they’re the weak minded fools that Deborah here seems to believe they are.

But maybe I’m wrong. In fact I’m probably sexist for thinking a woman could hold an ideal or principle. That sort of thing is probably “man’s work” or something.

I don’t blame her for wanting the job and I don’t blame her for fighting to win. I do blame her for accepting the challenge, accepting $900K in GOP financing for her campaign, and then tossing the race to the other team. That’s rank disloyalty and it meant she made it easier for Nancy Pelosi to inflict that ghastly health care bill on us. It’s one thing to vote in a more independent fashion, but you can’t sabotage your team and then claim you still belong on it.

Exactly why she is so dangerous to the left and must be destroyed by any means no matter how low or sleazy.

The conservative movement’s third-party candidate, Doug Hoffman, expected her support but, she said, the newcomer accountant “had no integrity.” Plus, the Democrats were so nice! They called. They sympathized. They made her feel good about tossing her support to Bill Owens, who — with her help — became the area’s first Democratic representative in more than a century.

“Oh, someone left chocolates for me!” she said, picking up a present from her aunt and uncle. Her GOP family has been less supportive. And she warns that what happened to her will happen to candidates like her.

Sarah Palin has that charisma imo and all the other attributes of Reagan, in fact she’s the only person I’ve seen since Reagan to inspire and motivate people the way he did.

beachgirlusa on November 10, 2009 at 10:20 AM

She has tremendous charisma. She needs to make the sell to those in the middle–this generation’s “Reagan Democrats”. Currently women are her toughest audience, where her favorable ratings have run about 7% lower than with men.

Go Reagan conservative.

Real simple.

Applying his principles to the world of 2012 will be a challenge. Finding a candidate with his charisma will be even more difficult.

Why do conservatives think know that anyone who doesn’t buy into their orthodoxy is a leftwing nutjob?

Bleeds Blue on November 10, 2009 at 9:10 AM

I’m glad you asked. In my case, as I near 60, it has to do with a life-time of personal experience. It also helps that many years ago I was, like you are now, a certifiable “leftwing nutjob”.

In short, when you ignore reality and truth and embrace the fantasies, lies, distortions,and hatred of the left the only fitting description for your existence is “leftwing nutjob”.

They don’t vote, though as soon as they turn 18 they vote Dem. Women haven’t voted GOP in the general election since Bush 41. The GOP needs to figure out how to extend its appeal to some of the demographic groups that it recently has been losing.

Sometimes, I’m so ashamed of my gender, but thank God that we are all individuals and many of us don’t walk lock step with the majority. *salutes fellow conservative women*

I remember a caller to Rush Limbaugh around the election last year. She was a college student or recent grad and told him that he was actually in her text book for ‘women’s studies’. First of all, women studies makes me want to puke. Second of all, that he is actually written about, by name, as someone who is anti-woman in a book used in a college classroom is truly atrocious. I have known so many women who automatically assume that if Rush Limbaugh supports it, it must be bad, because Rush is a hater, *screams* though they’ve never actually listened to him for half a second.

They feel that way about all conservatives because that’s what they are told by liberals and it all comes down to abortion. All of it. Too many women have murdered their children and can’t face the truth of that horror. Too many more (including liberal men) have helped them do it, or encouraged them to. I can almost understand why they make abortion a sacrament, because to admit that it is what it is would be beyond horrific. I don’t know if my sanity would survive had I done something like that. Can you imagine looking in the mirror and knowing, “I killed my child”? So they say it is ‘women’s health’. But they know that is bullsh*t and so they hate conservative women (and men) for making them see it in the mirror. That is why seeing Sarah Palin is like being licked by the fire of Hell to them.

Liberal women and spineless girly men have come frighteningly close to destroying this country, so yeah, I come very close to hating them. When I saw The Passion of the Christ, I remember getting a bit of a kick out of the fact that Mel cast a woman as Satan. Hmm…Satan is a liberal woman…I could see that. :)

Why do left wing nut jobs think they know what conservatives think?

What attributes of men can I say make us superior to women in certain arenas… and not get my head chopped off?

mankai on November 10, 2009 at 8:23 AM
Lifting heavy things? I really, really appreciate that about men.

myrenovations on November 10, 2009 at 9:07 AM

We can reach stuff on the high shelves, too. And men are always “In the mood” for better or for worse.

Why do liberal leftwing nutjobs always claim to be moderate and anyone who even hints about disagreeing with them as a teabagging redneck? Must be the reinforcement by the MSM on a constant basis.
