Female Democrats are as ugly as sin and cannot win!

At first glance, most progressives would not take Rep. Steve Vaillancourt seriously. However, if we do not take his behavior seriously, we do so at our peril. We can't let let this type of behavior go on unanswered. This gives new meaning to the charge that Republicans are quite prepared to win ugly -- and win at all costs by going negative.

So where is the backlash? Why, Mr and Mrs Progressive America, do we tolerate this type of hatred from the GOP from a guy whose conceit knows no end? In proclaiming himself as a type of defacto self-appointed beauty pageant judge turning a congressional race into his own private circus and theater of the absurd, whereupon he hoists his ageism and sexist pronouncements on us in a clear case where, if these were two male candidates, it wouldn't even be possible to have such a vacuous conversation in a congressional campaign -- where real people have real problems that we can ill afford to have hi-jacked by the GOP election circus agenda.

In a disgraceful showing of ageism and sexism which initially was not repudiated by either State Rep. Marilinda Garcia or the GOP party, both of them initially were prepared to profit from their silence while they were waiting to see what effect this may have (if any) on the latest polling numbers. Having waited and first profited from it for three days, Rep. Garcia finally came out and repudiated Rep. Vaillancourt's remarks as sexist. In doing so, Rep. Garcia, in good GOP form, is a day late and a dollar.
