Ken Blackwell once again plants foot firmly in mouth...



Blackwell: 'Republicans Don't Have a Problem Talking to Women' Because Our 'Policy Is Right'

Former Republican Ohio Secretary of State Ken Blackwell (R) said on Sunday that "improving the art of communication" with women was not a bad idea for his party if it didn't mean changing policies opposing abortion and contraception. Last week, staffers for House Speaker John Boehner told Politico that Republican lawmakers were being given lessons on how to speak to female voters in response to the so-called GOP "War on Women." CNN host Candy Crowley pointed out to Blackwell on Sunday that it could be helpful to teach Republican candidates how to talk about sensitive topics like rape. "Improving communication skills to a variety of groups is always important," Blackwell agreed. "At the end of the day, Republicans don't have a problem working and talking with women. We control 30 governorships, we control 26 state houses and senates chambers. You know, we, in fact, know how to speak to women on their policy issues."

NRSC Apologizes for ‘Extremely Offensive’ ‘Obama Girl’ Tweet

"The National Republican Senatorial Committee was forced to apologize Tuesday after a junior staffer sent out a link to a image of Kentucky Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes’ face photo-shopped onto a scantily-clad woman’s body. “Is Alison Grimes The New ‘Obama Girl’?” the now-deleted tweet asked the account’s 55,000 followers:"

They talk down to women, they talk down to minorities, they talk down to the working poor, they talk down to the no longer working poor, they talk down to the sick, elderly, the victims of the criminal justice system; they talk down to each other according to wealth possessed.
They pretend to talk TO you when they want your vote, so they can be in the position to talk down to you.

They're also opposed to welfare and food stamps.

None of that makes any fucking sense at all.

All they're interested in doing is keeping their Akins and Mourdocks under wraps until after Election Day.
