http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/08/28/chris-christie-republicans-shouldnt-have-to-cater-to-women/Is it just me or are the Republicans trying to disenfranchise every voting block? Of all the potentially damaging things that have been said by Republicans in the last 10 days, this has to be near the top. Of course, based on the 10 previous days comments, the GOP is doing an excellent job of not catering to women. Keep talking there Christie: you'll wind up sinking your party this year and your chance to run in 2016!!!

(40,656 posts)(my parents died ten months apart) I can tell you I have compassion for the weight struggle. But not for this gaboon. He stuffs his face to feed his hatred and cruelty. He probably hasn't been laid since forever and he blames women.

(218 posts)For a party that tells lies to people, it's gratifying to know that they wouldn't want to stoop so low as to "condescend" to anyone!!! What will they come up with next? (That's a rhetorical; I don't want to know what they will come up with next!)

Try substituting that, CC, with "African Americans", "Hispanics", "Presbyterians", or any other minority group.

(5,179 posts)But it doesn't seem like good campaign strategy in 2012, does it.
I think they're drinking a big hubris cocktail. (I hope I'm right.)

(21,925 posts)To suggest that there's one group such as women that shouldn't be ministered to, it doesn't mean that Republicans shouldn't make special exceptions for women, since the job of a politician is to cater to others he/she represents. It means women should be singled out as a group for which the party will do nothing, while continuing to cater to males.

It will eventually succeed in pissing offing everyone the Reps are trying to win over. except for the scared old white guys and the terminally stupid.

(11,359 posts)Why should they have to cater to men? Women are the majority of the population. Should they be considered an exclusive men's club? It sounds to me like he hasn't thought this through completely.
