Blaming Sandy, just another case of the GOP blaming a woman.

The right's refusal to look in the mirror will be its undoing.

After the Dubya debacle and the subsequent Obama landslide in 2008, the right chose to double down on the Rove/BushCo "stay on the attack 24/7 - never admit you're wrong about anything" strategy instead of making amends to the country.

As long as this behavior continues, the Greedy Old Party will continue to lose elections.

It's not tho. Named storms alternate between female & male names, and Sandy is a girl. Fun fact!

Facts are not much fun for conservatives these days.

After a more than a year's worth of discussion on this board, on news sites, and political campaigning, if you can't see how Republicans have repeatedly and continuously attacked women and their rights...

YOU'RE PART OF THE PROBLEM.

So again...how are women being attacked in this country? I want to see you list it out, because I am going to bet there is a fair amount of bull****.

...and it helps to explain the insanity of the party doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I'm not doing your homework for you. There is a search function for your benefit.

Not sure if you were drunk, asleep, passed out, high, or otherwise just not paying attention to this forum for the past 12 months or so, but suffice it to say there's plenty out there.

And that's just on this board. There's a whole wide world of internetz tubez out there for you to watch, with real, verifiable video evidence.

Though, I know how your type usually responds to facts and figures.



"See, I knew you didn't have any evidence" in 5...4...3...2...1...aaaaaand, GO.

Not sure if you're serious. But a quick Google will get you answers.

The Campaign Against Women

Quote:
Despite the persistent gender gap in opinion polls and mounting criticism of their hostility to women’s rights, Republicans are not backing off their assault on women’s equality and well-being. New laws in some states could mean a death sentence for a pregnant woman who suffers a life-threatening condition. But the attack goes well beyond abortion, into birth control, access to health care, equal pay and domestic violence.

Considering how innovative the GOP is I'm surprised they didn't run McCain again.

That's not an "Attack" on women. Birth control is not a right. Public funded Planned Parenthood is not a right. Good grief.

Now I am dismayed about politicians getting involved in a family decision, but that's not an attack on women specifically, but an attack on the liberty of all Americans. Pregnancy and abortion is not solely a female issue.

"Sex based wage discrimination" This is a bull**** argument as well. You negotiate your pay rate when you take on a job. If you don't like the pay rate, then don't take the job. You'll also find that women, as a group, now account for the majority of gross pay in the country and heads in the workforce. Regardless of bull**** legislation people try to push, it's trending and passing that of their male counter parts.

Domestic violence is illegal. Hitting someone else is illegal. There is no need to denote specific groups in our laws.


What else do you have?

I know you're not. But it's been discussed ad infinitum, and I'm not going to re-hash an argument you either missed out on or completely ignored.

And your statement about fair and equal pay is not only nauseating, it is a patent violation of civil rights. Employers do not have the right to pay anyone whatever they want, just as they don't have the right to hire whomever they want, especially if it can be proven that they are doing so based on race, gender, religion, disability, etc...all protected by the law.

Not only that, but wage discrimination doesn't only take the form of what you get paid when you're hired. It also includes not getting promotions even though you're more qualified than a male candidate, getting smaller raises based on nothing more than gender, and the like.

But again, the simple fact here is that you're in denial, like much of the Republican party, and frankly, that is why they lost so handily this week. All 9 congressmen who made disgusting comments about legitimate rape, pregnancy caused by rape, and denial the life/health of the mother even exists lost, and most of the lost BAD.

All of this in addition to things like not allowing women on a panel deciding the fate of women's rights, censuring women for saying vagina, the list goes on and on.

But keep right on denying. No, please keep it up! It's only going to make the Democratic Party stronger, and the election returns with regard to how women voted easily bears that out.

I wonder how he would feel if he found out he didn't get that promotion years back because of his race. I wonder if his reaction would still be "it's the employer's right to do so."

I mean, of course on the message board he's going to say yes, but I'm sure he'd be in that court room faster than you can say "binders full of women".

I've been discriminated against in the work place. I couldn't afford at the time to sue anyone and frankly it would have been a waste of time, energy, and resources. Why? Because when I fail or come-up-short, I don't blame other people. I look within, make the correction, and move on. but this isn't about me and in typical fashion, not being able to have an actual discussion, you people try to make it personal.
