Will Rush Go After Women's Voting Rights Next?

Now that he's begun the 'demeaning of women', how long before Rush & those who fund his mantra of hate begin chipping away at women's right to vote?
Sounds far fetched at the moment, but it would fall in line with all they have done to demean women so far. Women are a powerful voting block & face it, the likes of Koch & Dobsonesque belief of the power craven Right have a plan for this Nation.
They are at the top & everyone else lives beneath them.

Just a thought as to how far these people will go to achieve the wet dream of their very own New World Order

Thanks
Blaze

I believe that absolutely is their game plan. If they ever get to where they control all of government again, I guarantee you that will be legislation they will pass - to deny women (and probably minorities) the right to vote.

3. I agree with you completely. The attack of 'anything female' is telling.

And unfortunately some women would go along with it when told that it is 'Gods' Will'.

People scoffed for years when I said they would go after contraception. they aren't scoffing now.

Dominionists/talibornagains long for the good old days of "one household/one vote". They also crave a return to debt slavery and stonings of gays, adulterers, and recalcitrant children.

They just back handed you in the face. Sounds like they long to do that again. I for one, am glad I learned Kenjitsu.

5. That and returning women to the status of property.

BTW, the phrase "to have and to hold" in typical wedding vows is traditional contract language meaning "to own" and exercise dominion.

I hope women (& men who love women) are paying attention.

I can't express the loathing I have for these pricks.

RL isn't that stupid. He's a stupid old asshat that spews crap because he is paid to do it. If he had nothing crazy to say, he would soon be out of a job.

right to vote. He'll boldly begin the tirade and wait to see the % of responders who applaud this sort of move.

Nobody is going to restrict women's right to vote.

Rather than wild and baseless speculation, emails, letters, phone calls and such should be directed to the matter at hand.

And Michelle Malkin, Laura Ingraham, and all of those nameless FoxNews twits will run interference for him.
