GOP men tutored in running against women

[ismnotwasm]

"Tutored". Really.

While GOP party leaders have talked repeatedly of trying to “rebrand” the party after the 2012 election losses, the latest effort shows they’re not entirely confident the job is done.
So they’re getting out in front of the next campaign season, heading off gaffes before they’re ever uttered and risk repeating the 2012 season, when a handful of comments let Democrats paint the entire Republican Party as anti-woman.
Akin dropped the phrase “legitimate rape” during the 2012 Missouri Senate race, costing himself a good shot at winning his own race and touching off Democratic charges of a GOP “War on Women” that dogged Republicans in campaigns across the country.

In the 2014 cycle, there will be at least 10 races where House GOP male incumbents face Democratic women challengers. More races could crop up as the cycle unfolds.
Some of the highest profile fights will take place in states like New York, Illinois, Florida and Virginia — the last where GOP gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli was defeated recently due in part to being perceived as anti-woman.
Individual Republicans have continued to give Democrats plenty of ammunition about being insensitive to women’s issues. From Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) talking about rape and pregnancy at a Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this year, to House Republicans passing a 20-week abortion ban in June, to Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-Ga.) blaming military sexual assault on “hormones,” there have been repeated instances where GOP lawmakers have come off as tone-deaf to female voters.

1. I could tutor them

1. Stop taking away women's rights. (Reproductive, equal pay, etc.)

2. stop trying

to tell women what real rape is

stop trying to tell women how they get pregnant

stop comparing women to farm animals

4. We could start a business

tutoring GOP men on how to get women to vote for them. LOL. But they probably wouldn't listen to us because we're women.

6. They will

have to listen to us if we charge them $25,000 per class.

The thing is, no matter how nice the curtains are their house is still a pig sty. That is what you can't change.

I prefer them this way. That way I know who they are on the inside.

3. Yes, they are tone-deaf

and no amount of tutoring can change that!

5. Back to the future

Yes, try and remember GOP/TEA guys. even though you really believe women are 2nd. class citizens who belong in the kitchen and especially the bedroom, don't dare let them know this when you ask for their vote.

7. I say let them just keep on doing what they've been doing....

That's worked pretty well for us Dems so far.

8. Greg Abbott and his supporters need to take this course

Gregg Abbott is running a very dirty and nasty campaign against Senator Wendy Davis. Greg's supporters are pushing some really vile crap on twitter with the hashtag #abortionbarbie. Here is an example

It's awesome that Wendy Davis' profile comes up when you do a Twitter search for "abortionbarbie."
