I just saw the most incredible Women against the Republican Party ad on MSNBC

Last edited Fri Mar 16, 2012, 03:39 PM - Edit history (1)

Women reading sexist quotes for Republicans regarding vaginal probes and forcing women to have rape babies and liking it. Then calling them on it and declaring that republicans have a problem with women and "Women have a problem with Republicans"

They should play it on every channel 24/7. I am going to donate to Moveon.com right now!!!

The Republican party can GO TO HELL.

Especially the talking empty disingenuous heads like Ann Coulter. They can lead the way in their little black dress.

By the way, who is the unnamed "Republican lawmaker" who made the comment about being vaginally penetrated??

that can only be answered by Virginia Democrat Del David Englin:

http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2012/02/virginia_ultrasound_law_women_who_want_an_abortion_will_be_forcibly_penetrated_for_no_medical_reason.html

During the floor debate on Tuesday, Del. C. Todd Gilbert announced that “in the vast majority of these cases, these [abortions] are matters of lifestyle convenience.” (He has since apologized.) Virginia Democrat Del. David Englin, who opposes the bill, has said Gilbert’s statement “is in line with previous Republican comments on the issue,” recalling one conversation with a GOP lawmaker who told him that women had already made the decision to be "vaginally penetrated when they got pregnant." (I confirmed with Englin that this quote was accurate.)*


He needs to quit protecting that GOP lawmaker and out him.

And for the records, the problem isn't only with thug men:
That’s the same logic that animates the bill’s sponsor in the House of Delegates, Del. Kathy J. Byron, who insisted this week that, “if we want to talk about invasiveness, there's nothing more invasive than the procedure that she is about to have." Decoded, that means that if you are willing to submit to sex and/or an abortion, the state should be allowed to penetrate your body as well.


A woman who would say that is a shame to her sex.

I made sure to post that on FB. People need to be able to see what these jackasses are saying all in one stream. It makes a sane person sick to their stomach.

I may have to donate to Moveon myself for this one. This is exactly the kind of message we need out there, it's in their own words and it is damning.

The only consideration I had, was whether it makes sense to tell the repukes what they are doing wrong. You know damn well they are only going to avoid the issue or put some window dressing on it. They will not take the issue seriously.

I think there's a "sluts vote" bumper sticker around on the web but i like the two thoughts together too. They are corollaries of each other.

Glad ya like it CrispyQ!

Based on this testimony all Americans, at least 99% of us, have a problem with the Republican Party.
Isn't it time to stop calling it a "party". More like the Republican Nightmare.

MSM never says its the Republican Party that's doing it (even though they have an anti-choice platform). It's about time they got F'in called out--and those cretins who made those statements too, like Santorum and Limbaugh. This ad rocks. I need to send money to MoveOn.
