Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

While Republicans scored a pair of impressive electoral victories in New Jersey and Virginia with solid support among female voters, the events of the last week offer harbingers of serious trouble ahead with the largest swing voter bloc in the country women. "Women tend to have a more practical, less ideological way of approaching life and, therefore, approaching politics, and our party doesn't always take kindly to that," said former Ohio Rep. Deborah Pryce, chairwoman of the House Republican Conference from 2003 to 2007.

A day earlier, Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) suggested that women who complained that their gender was designated a "pre-existing condition" by some insurers were on a par with smokers because both groups incur higher treatment costs.

Men pay higher car insurance under the age of 30 (25 depending on company) because they have found to get in more costly car accidents. Should the government stop this? Hell if they get 1 ticket and their credit is bad enough they could get denied.

On Saturday, Rep. Tom Price (R-Ga.) repeatedly cited parliamentary rules in an attempt to shout down Rep. Lois Capps (D-Calif.), who was trying to deliver a speech defending abortion rights.

I'm sure this is the only time a congressmen has attempted to 'shoutdown' another member of congress, oh and it was probably because she was a woman.

Ridiculous premise.

If my ex-wives are any indication, women are also more inclined to run up enormous credit card bills in exchange for some immediate gratification. That makes them perfectly at home with the borrow-and-spenders that are running Washington now.

Your exes are smarter than you RIR..but that is a pretty big club, huh?

Women are so gay!

When OldWhiskey is right, he's really, really right.

Women are nothing but trouble for all men regardless of party. Not saying, Just saying;-)

Many women see the world in a very simple way namely, "What's in it for ME". But this may be a consequence of milenia of second class status and abuse or that very American phenomena that the Guess Who were talking about.

I get so tired of opinions. Conservative strong women stand alone and are not influenced by husbands, political party, or so called friends. Simply, they choose what is right for those who elected her. Dede was not a conservative, was not a strong woman, hence the influence and tears.

"I get so tired of opinions......"

Now I'll post my opinion.

Got to get it somewhere, RIR.

The world is run by 18 year old women. Think about it.

In what sense?

"Women tend to have a more practical, less ideological way of approaching life.."

They can't be serious with that statement. Many women are just like all libs. They surivive on feelings and not thinking things out.

sniper, does that statement make you a lib? you didnt think it out at all. but such seems to be the case

What a big fat whine this thread is.

Should women be exempt from being shout down in Congress? Do they need to be coddled? (aww, poor Democratic baby)

Why is Sniper attacking Sarah Palin???

"Why is Sniper attacking Sarah Palin???"

Because she sometimes sounds like a feminist and won't iron his shorts?

The GOP plan to replace women with another one of their constituent groups-Closeted Gay Men.

So on the one hand Republicans do well in Virginia and New Jersey with "solid support" from women voters and on the other hand they're in "serious trouble" with women voters.

Politico.com makes shit up just to put something out there. So why am I always being told that these political web sites are different and so much better than CNN, FOX, MSNBC and right wing radio?

dok, what pisses me off the most is when you do my shorts, you starch and iron them.

In the sense that 18-30 year old men will agree with anything they say.

Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) suggested that women who complained that their gender was designated a "pre-existing condition" by some insurers were on a par with smokers because both groups incur higher treatment costs.

Holy. Shit.

Women incur higher treatment costs because they have children. Smokers because they get cancer. Pete Sessions (R-Texas) invoked the pro-choice "the fetus is no different than a tumor" argument.

This story is crap. It's no different than when the left trashes the religious right, but never whats to comment on the far left of their own party. All conservatives are welcome. If any party takes issue with women, it is the left. Find a conservative woman and the left will do all they can to discredit her.

Well if that's the only reason then no worries, that's been taken care of by the gays.
Queer eye for the straight guy.

But on the 'what's really important' level, dressing is right up there with celebrity news gossip. Not very important at all.

Personally I don't agree with Danni very often, but here it is the absolute truth.

And that bullshit about Dubya only being elected because of 'male suffrage' shows how little you folks know about conservative women.

boy: 'Ive got 3 marbles'

girl: 'Ive got 5 marbles'


boy: 'Ive got 50 cents'

girl: 'I've got a dollar'


boy: 'Oh yea, well Ive got one of these' boy drops pants and points to his pecker.

girl drops pants: 'Well I've got one of these.

And with one of these, I can get as many of those as I want.'

Mansmart (Women Smarter)


I say let us put man and a woman together
To find out which one is smarter
Some say man but I say no
The woman got the man de day should know

And not me but the people they say
That de man are leading de women astray
But I say, that the women of today
Smarter than the man in every way
That's right de woman is uh smarter
That's right de woman is uh smarter
That's right de woman is uh smarter, that's right, that's right

Ever since the world began
Woman was always teaching man
And I you listen to my bid attentively
I goin' tell you how she smarter than me

Samson was the strongest man long ago
No one could a beat him, as we all know
Until he clash with Deliah on top of the bed
She told them all the strength was in the hair of his head

You meet a girl at a pretty dance
Thinking that you would stand a chance
Take her home, thinking she's alone
Open de door you find her husband home

I was treating a girl independently
She was making baby for me
When de baby born and I went to see
Eyes was blue it was not by me

Garden of Eden was very nice
Adam never work in Paradise
Eve meet snake, Paradise gone
She make Adam work from that day on

Methusaleh spent all his life in tears
Lived without a woman for 900 years
One day he decided to have some fun
The poor man never lived to see 900 and one

Nah, my nerd-dom goes way back. True story: I was the only girl/woman in my freshman math class, and grew more and more depressed as the semester wore on and one guy after another offered to help me with my homework. I couldn't figure out what I was saying or doing that was so stupid that everyone felt sorry for me and thought I needed their help.

A sweet/sad/funny story: a friend was helping his Dad learn "kitchen" after Dad's wife of some 50 years passed away. Among Dad's many frustrations: not a single yogurt he opened had the fruit pictured on the label. Turned out Mom had been opening and stirring his yogurt for him for so long he had no idea that the fruit was on the bottom.

And we ♥ boojiboy!

Women who have Real brains and Really think for themselves are conservative. They are not bound up in group think, ie, women's rights, and various group rights. They look at Americans as Americans, not by skin color or enthnicity as the Democrat/Liberal male or female sees in everything.

I know these wonderful conservative women and they have read and understand the Constitution and they know this administration is violating that sacred document daily. So we will see at next election. Women have a real stake in seeing this country prosperous for their own children and grandchildren and this administration is systematically dismantling this economic powerhouse that is the United States capitalist, free market based economy.

This administration is one big wrecking ball against the prosperity and security of our country and women are not stupid, so we will see....

As a side note: Conservative women are very much Prettier than most liberal women and they enjoy being women (they actually shave their armpits and legs, and bother to put on a little makeup). That doesn't mean they are subsurvient to anyone or that they don't have their own incomes. However, just think of the women in this administration vs. those in, for instance, Clinton's administration. Cindy McCain, Jerry Thompson, Ann Coulter and a plethora of really lovely conservative women come to mind. Think of the women on the liberal side...ugh... ptuii.... I won't name names...

Turned out Mom had been opening and stirring his yogurt for him for so long he had no idea that the fruit was on the bottom.

What a great illustration of how today's men can't understand what to do about women. They want to be srtong fierce and independent but they also want someone to stir their yogurt.

These things were much simpler for men before women's liberation. Essentially, women have figured out they don't need men any more. Men haven't figured out how to not be needed.

I hope I did not offend you by using your anecdote as a jumping-off point.

Conservative women are very much Prettier than most liberal women and they enjoy being women (they actually shave their armpits and legs, and bother to put on a little makeup)

Oh jeez. Shaving is what it means to "enjoy being women?"

Is it safe to assume the prettiest, most conservative women shave their cooter too?

On the topic of Ann Coulter, for those who have never read this gem... (warning: do not read if this offends you)

Damn, kissntell you need to get out more. Sex sells and that is the only reason there is so much T&A on Fox news. How else could they sell such a line of crap to you boneheads that watch it.

Beautiful women are in every walk of life. It has absolutely nothing to do with their political ideology. Funny thing is conservative women are so fucked up in the head even their husbands don't get laid and you think they are more sexy? Dude, get a life. It doesn't have to end at 30.

Women could spell trouble fer GOP?

True dat.

Particularily younger women.

Women of color.

Gay women.

Women who understand that their own autonomy is on the line.

Women bright enuff to look at Michelle Bachmann and Sarah Palin and think... DO NOT WANT!

Data Points: Gender Gap in the 2008 Election
There was a 7-point gender gap between men and women who voted for the winning candidate

Posted November 6, 2008
56%: Women who voted for Barack Obama
43%: Women who voted for John McCain

51%: Women who voted for John Kerry in 2004
48%: Women who voted for George W. Bush in 2004

Do you support the House healthcare bill's ban on abortion coverage in health insurance plans participating in a government-run healthcare exchange, even if those plans don't receive federal funds? The plan requires women who want such coverage to purchase a separate abortion coverage rider.

26.36% Yes
73.64% No

Part of being conservative from what i see is the belief that deep down, men are superior and should be served. sure, some of you may have careers and think you control your own lives, but admit it, when the day is done, you need a man to protect you. that's why conservative women are "prettier." They need to keep a man to feel good about themselves. admit it ladies, you don't shave because you like it, you do it because men like it.

A woman who sees herself in her rightful place at the top of the food chain doesn't need to impress anyone to know her own worth and certainly doesn't need a man to tell her what she thinks. throw away your razor and think for yourself, I mean really for yourself and I think you might see that things look a little different and your priorities change.

As for all you men out there who think that you don't need women for anything other than sexual gratification, go fuck yourselves and then tell me how you plan to continue the species.

Yeah, thought so.

Now go buy your mother some roses and stop acting like selfish arrogant children for a change.

Coulter isn't a man?? I have never seen a woman with an adams apple besides her.

sorry, i think that quote is actually from #66. my browser is doing funny things with text alignment today. damn kids and his lego star was videos no doubt.

Now this is a better more debatable issue Woke.

I don't care really one way or the other. If a private ins company wants to cover it inside the exchange then let them. They don't do it outside the exchange currently do they?

What is a debateable issue?

That more women and minorities vote for their own best interests by voting dem? Or that women support having the right to CHOOSE?

Not much to debate there, just facts.

btw,

Deborah Pryce, an incumbent had to smear her way to victory via a close recount, then promptly QUIT. (Seems to be a repug thingy, eh?)

She won the seat originally because the repugs gerrymandered that district into the neighboring county.....to bring more conservatives into the city district. But now that their majority is frail, they are talking about no more gerrymandering of districts. Sure.


Neither stupid.

It isn't about rights. Nobody isn't taking them away. It is about a carrier covering such a procedure and the use of fed dollars

The republicans are all about gerrymandering. What? you knew they were a snake. Why act surprised?

Eb

If the legal "procedure' isn't provided to poor women who cannot afford it, then is that not the same as taking those rights away, except for the rich?

Thanks for the nearly civil comment.

Cindy McCain, Jerry Thompson, Ann Coulter and a plethora of really lovely conservative women come to mind....
