"I find this war on women rhetoric almost silly," Blackburn (GOP Rep on TV) insisted.

[UCmeNdc]

Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) asserted over the weekend that the Republican Party was the party of "women's equality" days after Senate Republicans blocked the Paycheck Fairness Act.

In a party line Senate vote last week, Republicans refused to allow debate on a bill that would have require employers prove that women were not being discriminated against.

CBS host Bob Schieffer on Sunday asked Blackburn if the vote would hurt Republicans with women voters in the midterm elections.

"I find this war on women rhetoric almost silly," Blackburn insisted.

1. I will be going Sept. 13th to DC to the women's Rally at the Capitol Building

I hope there will be a huge turnout. The GOP has blocked every bill that would improve women's lives. It will be back to 1950 and 1960 when even a credit card was denied a woman, no bank loan to buy a car, no right to get a mortgage to buy a house on her own,
no divorce, unless you went to Mexico. Abuse by husband OK, abuse by boyfriend OK. Recent GOP vote was also against The violence toward women act. Thanks GOP I can see the women all rushing to embrace your archaic program and go back to the past. I guess 1960 is not far back enough for you, perhaps 1900 would maker you happier.

5. Help Me Here....

There are many women Repub legislators out there. And the male Repub legislators have mothers, wives, daughters, siblings, girlfriends, female grandchildren. If they are engaged in a war on women - to what end? What are they trying to accomplish? How will it not hurt them and theirs as well.

7. You have to understand how they think.

Yes, these white men love the white women in their lives, but don't believe they are equals. The white women legislators and voters who enable this way of thinking believe it too. They don't see themselves as equals to their white men peers and are ok with it. Everyone else (not white) - they don't matter at all.

So you see, everything is as it should be in their twisted oppressive world.

8. Do you think that Muslims that force their women to wear Burkas love their women?

In almost every Muslim country where religion rules, women are discriminated against in every single area. In some countries it is against their laws for women to become educated. It is against their laws for women to drive a car or leave their home without a male escort. Those men believe they love their women, do you? Many Christians would like something very similar for their women here in America also. The Bible says women must be subserviant to their men. Republicans that claim to be Christian believe that. They believe a women has her place (barefoot and pregnant) and women should be seen and not heard...

9. Then How Do You Explain Republican Women In Office?......

If Republicans that claim to be Christian believe a woman has her place (barefoot and pregnant) and should be seen and not heard......

10. That one is a very easy answer...Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy through and through... by their deeds shall you know them..

11. No, that is not true. There are very few Christians that bad.

While I think that there is an awful lot wrong with Christianity as practiced in America, I think that comparing it to Islam is a false equivalence. There are very, very few Christians in America who would like it to be against the law for women to drive cars, become educated or leave home without an escort (come to that, most Muslims in most places don't support those either, but the minority who do is less small than it is among Christians).

6. "Almost" silly....

....if it wasn't true, right Marcia?
