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.)

Date: 2012-08-23 12:50 am (UTC)You may have seen my comment on Twitter yesterday, that if any female votes GOP at this point, she should just take her self-loathing out of the polling station and in front of the next oncoming bus. I just can't fathom it.
