Any woman who votes for the Republican party this go-round needs to reconsider her own sense of self-worth (and, possibly, self-hate).

Argue the economy all you want. Argue taxes all you want. Even argue war and national security all you want. When a party consistently says, over and over again, the only people that they recognize as having 'legitimate' rights are (straight white) males...

what does it matter if you're paying more or less taxes? You're not considered an equal citizen.


(new this week: the "no exceptions" abortion ban drafted by the GOP plank platform - no exceptions for rape. Because, according to Akin, we lie about it being rape, anyway. And what THEY believe trumps what YOU might believe. Because, well, you're not equal, after all.)

I am getting more and more relieved that I don't live in the US. Not that we don't have problems in Sweden, but I would prefer a stronger conservative party, rather than a stronger nationalist party. (Right now the conservative party is below the limit to get into the parlament, and the nationalist party is the fourth largest party.)

The thing is, there IS a difference between traditional US "conservative" and what the GOP has turned into. There are just a lot of people who've been in the warm bath so long they don't realize it's gone cold and their skin's about to slide off.

(and the ones who do realize are still trying to convince themselves it's only a fringe, and even if you elect a crazy that doesn't mean you're putting crazy into power. Um....)
