"She's never been married"

[DesertRat]

Republican gubernatorial candidates criticize (Arizona) Democratic Gov. Janet Napolitano's record on subjects ranging from immigration and taxes to education and forest health.

Gary Tupper and Mike Harris, both of whom have children, separately cited Napolitano's marital status - she's single - and the fact that she hasn't had children when answering questions during a Thursday evening forum sponsored by several Republican groups.

Later, when answering a question about a proposed ballot measure on marriage, Harris voiced his support for the initiative and then raised Napolitano's background.
"She's never been married. She's never had children. I don't think she ever will," he said of Napolitano, who has so far declined to take a position on the marriage amendment.

1. "The Dragon and the Pink Lady"

Although I haven't read it in years, that's the book the seems to pop up on my relativitly radar in these situations.

Should her sex, sexual orientation, or status as a parent matter? No.

Will they? Of course. It's Republicans: what else could you expect from them?

2. I'll bet they have all sorts of opinions on abortion...

...and contraception, though, even though neither of them are women.

[win_in_06]

20. These guys are sexists, but men have a stake in abortion/contraception too

[PA Democrat]

3. What's the next move from Karl Rove's play book, a push poll

asking voters if it would bother them if Napolitano was a lesbian?

[Catherine Vincent]

4. Let's hope that asinine comment gives extra votes to the Democrat.

[DesertRat]

6. Probably not in this red state

It just fuels the right wingers who are trying to pass a marriage amendment.
:-(

5. wonder what Ann Coulter would think of that

couple of disgusting assholes.

[barb162]

7. I can't watch her without looking at her adam's apple

bobbing around

[liberalitch]

18. Because she's a MAAAAn baby!

[DesertRat]

8. I dunno, but last time she was here she got a pie in the face

at the University of Arizona. :rofl:

"Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter falsely accused an Arizona county attorney of anti-conservative bias for dismissing charges against two men who allegedly threw pies at her during an October 2004 speech. In fact, the blame lies with Coulter herself; the charges were dropped because neither she nor the arresting officer appeared for the scheduled trial."

9. Neither has Condoleeza Rice

[madeline_con]

11. I thought she and DUH-bya had a couple stashed away. n/t

[madeline_con]

10. Same deal was Meier's undoing, and she's a Repug! n/t

[rodeodance]

12. what a bunch of complete idiots!

[DesertRat]

13. Yup. Welcome to Arizona politics

Our governor is the only bright spot in this bleak political climate.

[az chela]

14. I have lived in Az for over 35 yrs

And janet Napolitano is the BEST governor we have had since I
have lived here.I supported her and voted for her and will certainly campaign for her when she runs again.
JANET ROCKS!!!!!

[DesertRat]

28. Same here

I've been here a long time too (37 years). Bruce Babbitt was also a very good governor who served for 9 years.
The Repubs in this state will try anything to defame Janet. Attacking her for not being married or having children is ridiculous. Do they say the same thing about Condi Rice?

Go, Janet, Go!

[no_hypocrisy]

15. I don't suppose if it were public knowlege that Napolitano was either

an unwed mother or had an abortion or two that fact would validate her in the eyes of her opponent . . . . ? (Dripping sarcasm)

[riona]

16. What, no children?

Doesn't she know the world is underpopulated?

[xchrom]

17. single people are suspect in the conservative christian mind.

[Totally Committed]

19. What a despicable bunch of filthy, disgusting homophobes!

Condoleeza Rice is Napolitano's age and has never been married or had children. They don't attack her for it, so far as I know.

This has got to stop -- this "if the Democrats do it, it's a sin, but if the Republicans do it, it's a pass" bullsh*t. We've got to be able to point out the hypocritical nature of these attacks ina way that ALL of America is able to see, or it'll be "God/Guns/Gays" wedge-issue elections, ad infinitum, and a one-Party America for sure.

21. Hey, We in Arizona have had married with children......Republicans.

They were Republican Governors and they proved to be bad not only for Arizona but also for the children of Arizona.

Seems this childless, unmarried Governor knows more about the needs of children and the working men and women of Arizona then the CON's who are only good with sound-bytes and slashing any and all programs that benefit children and families.

[Totally Committed]

22. Great post...

As a voter from her state, that means a lot.

29. And don't forget our Senate president whose son molested kids at camp

AZ Senate President, Ken Bennett didn't do a very good job as a father, raising a son who stuck broomsticks and flashlights up boy's asses! :mad:

24. By those standards, George should not be allowed to make military

decisions, since the coward never showed up for duty.

[Stinky The Clown]

25. So .... do we play this card if 'never married' Kindasleazy gets their nod

in 08?

I'm just sayin' ........

Fucking hypocrites.

[wicket]

26. Apparently, women are only supposed to be baby incubators

:eyes:

[LynneSin]

27. Yet if that was a man - he'd be an eligible bachelor

and no one would question him.

Hell I'm still wondering why John Roberts didn't get married until age 40

[CottonBear]

30. Neither have Coulter or Ingraham. Sen. Dole never had children.

Does that make them gay or bad? No, of course not. They are vile for many other reasons: mostly for their greed and hypocrisy.

[blm]

31. Would he care to comment on Lindsey Graham?

.

[Cerridwen]

32. Oh, good heavens...can't we talk about her tits or her clothes or

something like we do with all the other important and powerful women?

Geez!
