Democrats - You Can Not Under Any Circumstance Use The Word "Whore" [View all]

The word whore is meant to demean female prostitutes, and it is a sexist attack on only females. It has no place in politics, ever.

When referring to politicians who sell themselves out for cash, donations and favors, the proper term is prostitute.

Prostitute, well, we all know what it means, and it covers both sexes. When used in politics it may be 100% accurate, but not actually sexist.

In the future refer to Wall Street sellouts as prostitutes not whores.
