Just When You Thought The GOP Couldn’t Sink Any Lower….

http://mindy-fischer-writer.com/2015/11/gop-sell-sexist-hillary-clinton-pins/

It looks like these offensive and sexist Hillary Clinton pins are once again selling like hot cakes. Look what they’re selling outside the Trump rallies….(surprise, surprise).




But, truthfully, I’m not sure what shocks me more, these unbelievable pins or the fact that the Republican party thinks they can do things like this and still have any chance with women voters.

Seriously, what the hell is wrong with you GOP?? Are you really trying to give the entire block of female voters to the Dems? Really?? I mean, we’ll gladly take them, but what are you thinking? It’s almost like you learned nothing at all back in 2008 when you peddled this same type of crap against Obama. Remember how well it worked out for you when you sold all of those buttons and stickers that said things like, “If Obama is president … will we still call it the White House?” Well I hate to break it to you, but insulting Hillary Clinton’s breasts and thighs will end no better for you.

When your party is now seen as little more than a joke to most Americans, and when your candidates are so awful that you are now actually turning back to Mitt Romney to save the day, perhaps your time would be better served not just sitting around making offensive sexist pins about women. Just a thought.


We need to fight back with a special of our own. Oh, wait, a hot dog joint in Chicago already did!

it's almost a relief to have the misogyny out in the open.

It helps put paid to the notion that the feminist fight is done.
