Another day, another Republican apologizing for making offensive comments about women.
Article PhotoRep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz., stumbled first Wednesday, saying "the incidence of rape resulting in pregnancy are very low" during a House Judiciary Committee debate on his bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks, even in cases of rape and incest.
they are still beating this attempt to explain away why we should not consider their efforts a war on women, like most right wing obnoxiousness they just make it worst when they try to rationalize that which is irrational., because it takes more lies and they have shown themselves to be terrible liars like looking thru a freshly Windex'ed glass. please don't include men in you no brainer that is In politics a right wing charatersistic.
Later Wednesday, Maine House Republican Leader Ken Fredette, said during a floor debate he opposes expanding Medicaid because of his "man's brain."
As I listen to the debate today and the earlier debate on this bill, I can't help but think of a title of a book – "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus." And it's a book about the fact that men sort of think one way in their own brain in their own world and women think another way in their brain and their own world. And it really talks about the way that men and women can do a better job at communicating. Because if you listen to the debate today, in my mind, a man's mind, I hear really two fundamental issues. From the other side of the aisle, I hear the conversation being about free – 'This is free, we need to take it and it's free and we need to do it now.' And that's sort of the fundamental message that my brain receives. Now my brain, being a man's brain, sort of thinks differently. Because I say it's not – if it's free, is it really free? Because I say, in my brain, 'There's a cost to this.'
Maine Democrats wasted no time in knocking Fredette, who later apologized for the remark. Fredette did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
you would also think that when they try to "help" each other out in their explanation of the prejudiced statements they just add another a...hole to the list of the clueless.
