GOP Senate Nominee: Abortion Decisions 'Belong' to GOP 'Gentlemen' State Reps

1. So he wants to give women a voice by taking away their voice.

[PatSeg]

15. Well now, he just wants what's best for us

Such a concerned gentleman.

By the way, he is such a truly awful candidate that republicans are just running anti Maggie Hassan ads here in New Hampshire, rarely even mentioning their candidate. Probably hoping that no one will notice what a nutter their candidate is and just check the box for the 'republican'.

[wnylib]

22. Sadly, that kind of campaigning often does work.

[PatSeg]

24. Especially if voters are predisposed

to just vote a straight republican or Democratic ticket. Many may not even know who he is or what he stands for, but he's not a Democrat and not Maggie Hassan.

Right now, both our senators and our congressional representative are Democrats AND they are all women, which is a plus. Somehow, state and local politics often end up republican though.

Since I've lived here (2010), we have mostly had Democratic governors and our two senators were governors at one time. Still the legislature tends to be controlled by republicans. For some strange reason, we have the largest legislature in the United States (after the U.S. Congress), but we only have 1.3 million people. My ballot is rather strange - "Vote for no more than six" for State Representatives, but only four of them are Democrats.

45. Until it's

his wife, mistress or daughter. Then they sneak in the back door at Planned Parenthood!

[PatSeg]

48. Yes, we know republicans only

pay lip service to their policies to get votes. You really can't trust a word that they say.

[RainCaster]

2. We need more women in NH's legislature

The genius told us so.

[Zambero]

3. OK, that should be another nail in his campaign coffin

What better example of a paternalistic attitude? I'm certain that women in NH will be taking notice.

11. Nice outfit. D Y O A M?

he needs a D Y O A M? Do you own a mirror?

The man needs some gays ASAP.

Boy Scout Pants, a rayon shirt, and rocking the man boobs too.

[PatSeg]

16. Ha, ha, ha!!!

The flag belt buckle is a nice touch though.

5. Clueless beyond belief!

[COL Mustard]

6. Wait....what???

I thought conservatives believed that rights are God-given. Now they're man-made (literally)? WTF, General???

Edited to add: Maybe that's why he's trailing by 8 points as of last week!

[Walleye]

9. Men's rights are God given. God hates women

[COL Mustard]

13. Silly me.

I forgot that part. I hope Bolduc gets his ass kicked at the polls!

[PatSeg]

18. Exactly

And we know this because these men tell us it is so - God told them. Everyone knows that God doesn't talk to women, that is usually the devil.

[COL Mustard]

36. Cue Flip Wilson...

The Devil made me do it!

[PatSeg]

40. Ha, ha, ha!!!

And us poor women are too weak to resist!!! That's why we need men like Bolduc to protect us.

Scary to think the man was an Army brigadier general.

[liberal N proud]

7. Wow, throw a bunch of words together in hope of confusing voters

The willfully ignorant will sit there and go ok.

[aggiesal]

8. Irony Deficient n/t

[magicarpet]

14. Iron deficiency you say ?

Give him a fist full of Viagra,...

He'll be okay.

[aggiesal]

44. Irony Deficient ...

Play on words Iron Deficiency.

But yes, I'm sure a fist full of Viagra might help.

[magicarpet]

49. Yes I am aware,...

... just adding a layer of humor to your post.



It might have been confusing.

Besides some Viagra might put a smile on his face. He looks like a bit of a sour puss.

[mollie8]

10. Ugh!

Wish I could vote against him.

[Ladythatvotesblue]

19. vote

do not worry I live in NH and will NOT vote for this wacko.

[PatSeg]

20. I just did it for you!

[NHvet]

32. I will be....

Maggie for me! I love our current team in DC, no need to upset the cart

[YoshidaYui]

23. SO he is saying

WOMEN SHUT THE FUCK UP, Men are in charge...

POLITELY, sir GO TO HELL.

[txwhitedove]

25. Hmm? Though quiet by nature, I have been able to think, speak and vote for myself

ALL my life. The men in my life have said stupidly "you're supposed to agree with me cause you're my wife"! They did destructive stupid shit while I worked hard, kept house and raised kids. They yelled me right out of their lives. I'm the one still alive, healthy, have my own house and car, and still vote on my own. Fuck this stupidity!

[COL Mustard]

37. Damn, that's rough.

Glad you got them out of your life. It's better with people (both genders) who aren't toxic.

[Half-step]

26. that belt buckle...

the metaphorical refs that can be inferred are just staggering.

[William769]

27. K&R.

28. I think grandpa needs to get back on his medication

29. ...

That oughta cover it.

[Marthe48]

30. I thought white man's burden died with Kipling

Women can make up their own minds, so just relax and enjoy it, Don.

I know white man's burden referred to something else, but his condescending attitude brought it to mind.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

31. Just keep digging that hole sir

You're well on your way.

[tavernier]

33. His pants are already moving up to his armpits so

he’s not as macho as he thinks he is.

[COL Mustard]

38. Maybe with some luck

He'll sit on his nutsack. That would be a funny video to watch.

[catbyte]

34. Is he also campaigning for President of the

He-Man Women Haters Club?

[Scrivener7]

35. Yeah. I'm going to let some asshole in Fred Mertz pants run my life. Sure I am.

[niyad]

39. He needs to be off the planet.

He also needs to fire his stylist. His moobs are soooo NOT a good look.

[orangecrush]

41. What an ass

[Crowman2009]

42. Another jackass wingnut retired officer who think people should listen to him.

You ain't in uniform anymore, dick!

[ShazzieB]

43. Well, now, to be fair to this dimwit, *insert sarcasm thingy*

he was asked an either/or question: should laws banning or allowing abortion (paraphrasing slightly) be decided at the state or federal level? And he picked state, because as a Republican would-be state lawmaker, he OF COURSE wants the state legislature to have ALL the power to regulate (i.e. ban the hell out of) abortion without any interference from those pesky blue states. Do we actually expect him to have the imagination to come up with a third option (i.e., treat women like sentient adults and gtfo of our personal health care decisions)?

*sarcasm off*

I'm pretty sure no on here said "yes" to the above question, because this is a REPUBLICAN we're talking about, and we all know what that means. As a Republican, the last thing he would EVER do is suggest that maybe lawmakers at every level should consider treating women like adults who are capable of making their own decisions about important stuff and butt tf out. So he gave exactly the answer I would have expected him to give to that question.

Why? Because he's a paternalistic Republican pos, and that is what they do.

[Biophilic]

46. I have to say that I really, really hate this pic of the moment.

I hate seeing it when I open up DU. Hate it!!

[Hassler]

47. Back in yesteryear when I was in high school, this cretin would

Have taught PE and typing, and would have been mocked by all of us. Now he's running for Senate.

[TigressDem]

50. So vasectomies for ALL then, right?

I mean, if YOU MEN are taking responsibility, just get er done.

Snip Snip, no more unplanned pregnancies.

WELL, unless GOD really, really wants you to have a kid. It happens.

Such a miracle.

[IronLionZion]

53. Choice is difficult so let Republican men take that burden from you
