Three of the four GOP candidates for Colorado governor took part in a debate Tuesday that was meant to reassure women that Republicans have their best interests in mind. But if Republicans really want to debunk that there is any war on women, they might not want to start by talking about women as “ornamental” or voting as a dating game.
At the start of the “Women and Colorado’s Future” debate, the moderator explained that it would be like a dating game, where a panel of four women could interview the three “bachelors” — former Congressman Bob Beauprez, former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp, and Secretary of State Scott Gessler. The fourth candidate, ex-congressman Tom Tancredo, did not attend.
The moderator invited the women to join the stage, saying, “It’s so much more ornamental if the four of you would be on the stage with the four of us.” Theme music from The Dating Game TV show played as the panelists took their seats.
nobody believes there is no war on American women everything over last century's show that to be true the males dubbing themselves alpha males does not make them anything more that what they are insecure butts with a God complex that i'm sure frightens the hell out of them and demands proving it every minute of the day mostly to themselves.
after years of treating them like 3rd class peons thy suddenly out of their butts they pull this in touch with their feminine side and want a Kumbaya moment some will bite most will bush off their shoulder with a smile. bottom line their is no luv lost by them for women and listen out another whack a mole will pop up to counter all the elephant dung.
Gessler did acknowledge Republicans could change their “tone and tenor” when discussing women, possibly referencing the Todd Akin-like scandals of the GOP. “In recent years, the Republican Party has sometimes seemed disrespectful or harsh,” he said. “We can’t come off as judgmental.” In fact, Republicans who face female opponents for the midterms are getting coached in how not to offend them.
While Republicans in Congress and at the state level hope to change that image, they’ve botched that effort by working to restrict abortion and contraception and to block economic issues like the minimum wage raise and equal pay, which directly concern women.
change what you like they are still republicans with same "PRINCIPLES" formerly know as "VALUES" IS THAT SAME PIG IN THE SAME POKE WITH THE SAME LIPSTICK AS LAST 5 YEARS promise are like breathing to them they make them like taking a breath.
