In reply to the discussion: Anti-Hillary Clinton Buttons Reportedly At California GOP Convention Are Just Disgusting [View all]Jack Rabbit
(45,984 posts)When Bill Clinton ran for President and defeated President Bush (the only real President Bush), the Republicans threw more vitriol as Hillary than at Bill. Why did Hillary work as a high power attorney when she had a little girl at home? Why did the Clintons have only one child? In the context of the culture wars (1992 was the same year Pat Buchanan made his horribly divisive speech at the the GOP convention), this was an attack on working women, and the Republicans have not recovered the women's vote since and are now doing even more to alienate women voters.
The Republicans have turned into a irrational group of misogynists. It isn't that they haven't learned anything since 1992, they are incapable of learning anything. It's no wonder that they think the only way they can win elections is to suppress the vote.
