			<description><![CDATA[Responding to the headline title: Ridiculous! The GOP doesn't hate women- they think women make very good pets and servants- as long as we remember our place. The GOP is waging war on any/everyone who is not within a tightly defined racial, ethnic, religious, political, economic, gender-specific circle. It is up to us to vote them out.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Susan1989, I really think that the "witches" burned at the stake were in reality, women who were spiritually awake and very powerful in their own right. They were a serious threat to white male supremacy, and so they had to be eliminated. This is also the reason that when the Bible was being put together, (by white men), there were books of female prophets that were not allowed in. The Bible was censored by men seeking to consolidate their power, thus crippling and distorting the "good news" that it was supposed to bring to us. Losing the compassion and the healing power of the divine feminine was a real tragedy.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Republicans as a group, operate from fear, not love UW, and so they really don't love their mothers. Attachment is as far as they can go, and they consider this love. I wish they did know how to love, then they would never want to take away the social safety net that keeps millions of families intact. Prating about Jesus, while robbing "the least of these", makes them roaring hypocrites, and Jesus would say to them, "I don't know you."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[These Republican women you speak of are of a type that don't really have open minds. They are women who have sacrificed their femininity in order to be fem-men. They copy Republican males because they have been taught by daddy to think men are superior to them, and agreeing to be second-best is the only way they can succeed. Margaret Thatcher is a good example of the consequences of denying your feminine essence in order to be like men. She was a hard, mean-spirited, selfish person, and she caused a lot of harm because of her ignorance. Her power was the power of violence and white supremacy, and she did no good for the world. Her years as Prime Minister were wasted, lost opportunities to truly make the world a better place. Inexcusable.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Absolutely right Barbara K, but men do have a thing against women ~ They say no too easily, complain too much, reason too slowly and say far too much. simply if women could state the main point succinctly at first opening, quickly summaries points they wish to make and then shut up. Wait listener to challenge or query a point, or even argue against ~ leave the filling and poetry about "the road being a ribbon of moonlight over the purple moors" and evidences and whatever to the footnote, we would hear them better. Certainly they don't need to prove their academic license first, that is their insecurity showing or their inferiority or even a superiority preconception showing. Wait for the guy to put his foot in it and ask :how would you know"? Then slap him down with quotation of high stardoms. As for the artistic bent of pretty florid oratory leave that for women and mealy mouthed politicians. Women are more motherly kindness and pampering of men or babies, men are in a hurry to make a point and get on to earning next dollar for their wife and kids. A career woman best assert her solid facts first, then pretty it up later if need be.Later: Men can be extremely thoughtless, short on patience, even unkind at times, unless thay are courting then they are foolishly stupid & numb even. Otherwise keep em barefoot, pregnant & in the kitchen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Several issues are not being discussed in the economy. One, Baby. Boomers are winding down their spending and are retiring. That affects the economy. Two, if we don't have living wages with jobs ,consumers aren't going to keep things moving. And three, corporate wealth fare has to stop. Small businesses employ the majority of workers but they aren't getting help. We cannot keep doing business as usual if we want to turn the economy around. And please tell Paul Ryan to balance the budget you need REVENUE.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Are you unaware that "Rusbo" called Sandra Fluke a "slut" for wanting and enjoying sex? The Republicans think that having and enjoying sex is "bad for you" without consequences. I travel to China several times a year. I am asked why bush and Cheney were not arrested for war crimes. Especially when Cheney and Bush authorized the use of nuclear alloy ammunition against tanks, buildings in Iraq. Created a 7-10 fold increase in cancer incidence, before and after war -medical records in Iraq. I tell them that if I were younger, I would immigrate to another country. That I've had enough of Republicanism. The Republicans love to dole out misery. They enjoy themselves when others are miserable. There is an old slogan, "look around and you can find someone worse than you, and then you will feel better." The Republicans do feel much better when the Dems are in sorrow, misery.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Now here is an intelligent reply to a Communistic type of government that wants to impose their "mental illness" on us. Why the hell do we not have a national leader who is suggesting ideas like this? Where is Michael Moore? He could be a great leader in this instance. Why is Obama not suggesting this idea. I was a foot soldier for a Dem who was running in my district. I suggested that we hire a bus, bus people to the voting booths who could not otherwise get to the booths. Comment, "the people we want to reach are simply not regisrered." My point, "why don't we bus those who are registered to vote but cannot get to the voting booths to vote?" I was met with a stare. The Democrats simply are getting what they dserve. They are used to the good wages paid by the unions. But, they do not care enough to fight back. they just "take it." The Democrats are used to misery and they just "take it." The Republicans are not used to misery. They have the money, the comforts. Yhey are well organized AND THEY DON'T TAKE IT. They GIVE OUT MISERY.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I guess the Dispensationali st Fundies, who have their own truncated Bible (the Scofield Bible), must have thrown out all mention of Jesus's disciple Mary Magdalen, and possibly also Martha and the other Mary, plus his mother Mary's famous Magnificat which sees God pulling down "the mighty from their seats". Read it--it's a wow! Not to mention Paul's companion missionary, Thecla. And in the Old Testament, Deborah and other feisty women.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The "deeper problem within the GOP" is their over-abundant IGNORANCE of natural Science and other material they SHOULD have learned about in seventh grade! Intellectually and morally stunted, they have lost the human ability to see, learn, and/or grow. Marching in place, their fingers jammed solidly in their ears singing, "La,la,la,la, I can't hear you" is NOT the way to capture more Votes or win and influence more constituents. Sadly, they DO have their adherents, but happily, not enough to win this Election. Too many people LIKE it here in the Twenty first (21st) Century and will NOT be taken back no matter what juicy inducements are dangled in front of them. Never the less, fellow Citizens, be vigilant, help your friends, neighbors and relatives Register, get proper I.D. and get them to the Polls on Election Day, and oh yes, never, EVER Vote ReTHUGlican!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[And really, all the men who fear this, let me tell you something. Women love men. We love our sons, we love our fathers. Some of us love our brothers, when they will let us. We will no longer be oppressed. but we are not out for revenge. We have some demands, and we think you will like them a lot, for they will make all our lives better once they have been met. Let's face it; Women are wonderful, powerful people. Straight men want to love us, gay men want to be us. It is time for our awakening, and it IS happening, and it is a good thing for everyone, including men. As women, it's time we take responsibility for our own acquiescence to the norms of patriarchy, and challenge what keeps us silent in the face of a looming environmental crisis, where abortion will be the least of our worries. We have always had the power to control our reproduction- it's time we woke up to that truth as well. We can't expect men to understand us when we don't really know ourselves yet.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Perhaps some posters are correct that hate is not the exact emotion directed toward women by the Republicans. I assume, after all, that they love their mothers. But these men are scared of women, or more precisely they are terrified of the power of our awakening. There is nothing they can do to stop it, and they know it, but they will try to the bitter ditch to keep patriarchy alive in some vain hope that we might just go back to sleep again. Sorry boys, that's not going to happen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Please, Barbara K, it's vital that you, the author of this, and folks far and wide (of all and no political parties, learn to assume nothing. Both major parties (granted, the Greedy Old Parties being by far the worst of the two majors) are loaded with puppets, who do as 1%ers dictate. Re. this War on Women: we cannot rule out the possibility that it is karlroving at its best, aimed at getting a meaningful voter turnout (more and more folks are leery that that they will be kept from voting and/or will not have their vote honestly counted). Then, sad and then some, this current pres., when looked at with true analytical hindsight, has, it appears, either been scared off or bought off or both. Just one example: his signing (after he said he would veto) this year's NDAA, thereby stripping away from citizens a crucial right of free speech, due process, etc.). And then, when on May 16, the judge hearing the case (Google: Justia, and pull up Hedges, et. al. v. Obama, et. al.) ruled against Obama, et. al. and granted a temp. restraining order, her honor was escorted by Navy Seals from the courtroom/court house. In late July, Obama, et. al. appealed her decision. In '08 I worked hard to get Obama (I now call him Oh Bomb Ah) elected. Now, in 2012, I intend to do as you say, and am going to "...be sure they are Real Dems..." No more assuming anything, including, tragically, that elections count.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I do not have time to read all the comments, but I wish we would, like Conservative talk show hosts, use exaggerated language, because a) it inflames the rhetoric rather than working towards the common good--appeasing the "base," but irritating the rest, b)it is just not true. The faults of the GOP are ignorance, denial and false discipleship. They are reluctant (as we are) to accept uncomfortable truths which impinge on their feelings, which mess with convictions learned long ago. Like saying Obama is a Socialist, or hates America. The GOP does not hate women; they just unconsciously in most instances fail to grow up to meet, with humility, the equality of human beings, the respect for an "other" as a fellow creature in one family--which we are, which IS the truth.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[What? GOP hate women? Do you really think so? Come on, give us a break. One nut case (rejected by GOP Leaders) and Liberals go crazy with yet another distraction to feast on while unemployment rises again and more White House corruption is uncovered. The six-year economic experiment must come to an end. The silent majority must speak in November. The folks who don't get must stay home in despair and forget to vote. Otherwise we are doomed with an ideology that doesn't work and we will become Greece...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Politicians make decisions that profoundly impact millions of lives, 52% of which are women. Low intelligence, an intentional bias, lack of knowledge or an unwillingness to learn are major professional liabilities in any field. In 'leaders' who represent 300+ million people, it’s dangerous. It should be illegal to impose policies and legislation based on false premises. Otherwise where is accountability? Today's politicians are getting away with passing & imposing legislation based on false 'beliefs' and personal bias, or because it serves their personal agenda or party’s goals. (Grover Norquist’s mandatory pledge to never raise taxes is an example). These politicians are unqualified for office and have no business in leadership positions. Any 'leader' who promotes ignorance -- like climate deniers, misogynists, racists and those with homophobic views—should be precluded from election. It’s time for people like this to exit the stage. This is the 21st century, not the middle ages. Before running for office, candidates should be required to take IQ tests, sex education, physiology courses, women's studies classes, African American studies, gay studies, US and international world history courses.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[How can Senators or Congressmen effectively legislate if they're operating from fear and fantasy? No politician should be allowed to impose their personal religious views or prejudices on their constituencies. They're supposed to be experts on issues, policy and the law.

They should be fired for this astounding failure and for purposely remaining uniformed about the facts. How do they get away with this? When women aren't treated as 'equal' in the eyes of the law, there are no consequences for ignoring the astounding number of issues that negatively impact women's lives. Most politicians fail to serve their majority female constituency by willfully refusing to see and acknowledge the problems we face.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[With all due respect to "Karen", the first commenter, DO NOT vote 'Democratic'!!! The reason nothing ever changes in D.C. is because you keep electing your leaders from the same bunch of idiots! We need to start electing real people, not born politicians. Things will not change until you people grow some balls and choose someone new, not who the mainstream media tells you to elect.As far as media is concerned there are only Obama and Romney to choose from and that's a lie. Last time I checked there are about 5 or 6 other political parties with candidates to choose from. Some of them even have good ideas. You people have been brainwashed by Corporate Am3rika, and elections prove it. Unless you enjoy being lied to and screwed continually, you need to quit listening to corporate media, and start thinking for yourself. It amazes me that you all have computers and don't use them to find the truth. It is easy to find, all you need is the courage to face the truth when you find it. Why not start with the lie that is 9/11? Google 'building#7' Start there and let your quest for reality begin. Once you realize what a b.s. job they did on you with that, you will never trust what you read in a newspaper, see on T.V. news or hear on mainstream radio again. Again, do not vote democratic or republican until you do some research yourself. Don't trust the media, they are lying to you!!! Try thinking for yourself......y ou might just like it!!!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Not so longs ago, US conservatives were still adamantly opposed to women owning property, or women being able to vote, or women pursuing independent careers --- to say nothing of earlier conservative opposition to Social Security, the Civil Rights Movement, environmental protection laws, etc., etc. US conservatism, as a systematized outlook on life, has almost always reflected a totally selfish state of mind - in the mostly white rich men who fashion its principles. It's actually more like a psycho-social disease than any kind of legit political movement. And to hide this fact, it's always wrapped in fire & brimstone claims of "God" being on its side. The fact that more than a few average people, especially women, still keep buying conservatism's elitist bullshit is something both amazing and tragic.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This sick, fanatic gang also treats our young people very badly and they are our future. Young women are included. While all other developed nations including Canada offers future generations affordable college and jobs, our govt doesn't. There is zero consideration on the part of these people haters for modifying NAFTA so that we don't outsouce all of our jobs and make sure our economy is protected. Nothing matters to this twisted bunch. Their only interest is destroying all regulation and protection while making sure there is plenty for the top, corporation and themselves. Their vision does not include ANYTHING else, our survival, the planets survival or our lives. When will we get how insane and destructive they are?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Republican men are terrified of the power of independent, free-thinking women, as well they should be. They know instinctively that if we should ever gain equal power, their juvenile dreams of plutocracy and perpetual war would be over. We would join with progressive males and create a society where everyone has the support they need to thrive. Women are not ruled by testosterone, that hormone that causes males to be aggressive and warlike. As a group, we are much more compassionate and nurturing than are men, and we would insist on that kind of environment for our children to grow up in. If this country is to survive, women must share equally in the decision making, and half of the elected offices across this country must go to women. We have allowed ourselves to be shut out long enough, it's time to stand up and take our equal place in this country's future. It's time for us to roar!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[While President Obama has made it law to have free abortions these women, black, Hispanic, working class and poor hating , sold out corporate fanatics want to make it totally illegal. But there is so much more about their mentality that is a serious threat to all of are health, safety and welfare. This extremist congress has the worst environmental record in history that will also impact on everyone’s health. President Obama wants to put scrubbers on coal stacks. With 35 million + living in poverty and tens of millions more who are the working poor, including a generation college grads, they have blocked every attempt to not only help the middle class and working people but to improve people’s lives in anyway and do anything that would be good for us as they are continuing to enrich the top at everyone else’s' expense. These are incredibly twisted and hateful people and we better choose wisely. Also polls reported on MSNBC last night said that Romney and Ryan have ZERO support from the black community. I wonder why? This is why they plan to try and steal the election. They are boldly corrupt! We are outraged!]]></description>

They don't realize that their party, with its Housewives' Seal of Approval, has been hijacked by Mammon and now they're just the foot soldiers of Big Money. To say nothing of Moloch... It's 1933 revised and sanitized. Plutocrats learned a lesson or two after financing Hitler. No need to scare people with storm troopers and Nazi-style appearances. Safer to take over a "respectable" party from the inside and front it with a pair of nice all-American faces - narcissists other narcissists can identify with... Unless the narcissistic perverts should succeed in disgusting even those good ladies...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Ah, the power of the boycott. States that elect psychopaths like Akin should be boycotted. Dry them up until they admit themselves to treatment centers. Please note that this is not a strictly partisan call. Any lawmaker that displays sociopathic tendencies must suffer ballot box revenge. Plenty of incumbents would receive pink slips if the 99% began voting in its own interest. Alas, there are those who evidently harbor hopes that they too can rise from meager beginnings and one day become a billionaire. My advice to them is to buy a lotto ticket. They would have a better chance of getting rich that way. The real story, however, is that replicas of Akin exist all across our land, and they keep getting reelected! People of voting age must register to vote and then vote only for candidates who support the working class. Full employment with living wage jobs, expanded, improved, affordable Medicare-for-al l, decent housing, quality K – college public education, and equity in taxes can be achieved only after America cures itself of battered-person syndrome and then says it has had enough of politicians who tell us they love us while servicing the 1%.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I feel this issue goes deeper than the Republicans. What happened to separation of church and state? Why is it that no one is pointing out this very obvious deviation and allowing ANY politician to submit "laws" that cram religious propaganda and "morality"down the throats of the masses? Why are public schools teaching Creation Theory? How can states abolish and reduce abortion clinics or institutions dictate what a women's private insurance will cover (if one is lucky enough to have insurance)? In the more radical states (like Utah) it has been illegal to teach birth control and teen pregnancies are high. People aren't rampantly spending because (at least here) the average wage is $8.50 an hour and rents above $1000 and with 6 kids to feed...well people can barely eat. I certainly hope women everywhere do rise up, but as I watch the Mormons trudging up the hill to the temple, and hear the views expressed,it is apparent they fully embrace the subservient, barefoot and pregnant lifestyle and catering to the whims of the male.And Atkin...well I thought I read he's served 6 terms; who voted him in? Are all the women in these states being intimidated and pressured to vote the way their men or church insists?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[White males, both the "suits" and the very blue collar males, must feel threatened as certain ethnic groups out grow those Caucasians amongst us and women creep ever closer to being just as employed as men...of any ethnic group. Think that is why it is so easy for school boards to trash their teachers because there are so many women in that profession. Supposed leaders like Akin and Ryan, not to mention Romney, believe control of women issues is more than acceptable, is necessary for their self-esteem. They don't really want to reform Medicare or "strengthen" social security, they want to abolish those plans that make life for the American family more secure. They have no intention of permitting control by women of their own bodies through abortion or contraconceptio n. What used to be a lunatic fringe attached...more or less...to the Republican Party has now become the Republican Party. We don't want government intervening for anyone except the job creators...they shout. But job creation has certainly NOT come from the wealthy. They are busy hoarding their wealth or hiding it and they have well-paid financial experts who can do just that. Hating government doesn't mean that they don't want to control it; that is where the wealth can be made! these "ultras" are represented on the Supreme Court, in the Senate, in the House and probably in every statehouse in the nation. The Democrats are loathe to challenge them. Voters must.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The Republican party is dying out and being replaced with the Lunatic Party. It is too bad they encouraged the Koch's Tbaggers, who are quickly taking over the GOP and killing it off with their cuckoo ideas, and plans to kill off the government and all our country stood for for. This bunch of lunatics hate the government, so why did they run for congress, and why did they get elected by more Koch fans? They hate women, it is obvious. Are they afraid of us? Well, let's give them a reason to be afraid of us and vote this trash out of our government and save this country before there is nothing left to save. DON'T Vote Republican at any level, there are several states that need cleaning out too. DO VOTE: Never sit out another election and let this happen to us again. Vote Democratic, it is the only way we can be sure we are not putting in Tbaggers, and be sure they are Real Dems you vote for. They are the only ones who give a rat's butt about us.]]></description>
