Sen. Brown Works To Gain The Women’s Vote

http://www.wbur.org/2012/03/27/scott-brown-women

BOSTON — U.S. Sen. Scott Brown is enlisting the help of a fellow Republican in his quest for re-election. Sen. Olympia Snowe, of Maine was in Boston Monday to campaign for Brown.

Snowe defended Brown’s vote in favor of giving employers a religious exemption to providing certain health coverage, but some Republican women in Massachusetts have been worried about the direction the national party has been taking.

Meredith Warren is a Republican political consultant. But lately she’s found it hard to defend the national Republican party because of some of the positions Republicans have taken, whether it’s Rush Limbaugh calling a college student a prostitute, or Rick Santorum speaking out against contraception.

“Honestly, most of my friends are Democrats, and in a lot of ways I have a trouble convincing them sometimes to consider voting Republican because of their stance on women’s issues,” Warren said.

Even if the GOP withdraws its anti women initiatives they will bring them back in worse form and pass them. They are all bunch of snakes. I have shed all my GOP friends with extreme prejudice. Screw them all. Anyone who would vote for these bastards is as crazy and sadistic as they are. The only thing I would give a drowning Republican is a rock.

I am not going to unilaterally disarm. I will return the attitude and hate that I get all the time from these jerks.

Scott Brown is an empty suit. It is a crime that he got Kennedy's old seat.
