I just realized this is a term that utilized mostly by the far left to characterize mainstream Democratic politicians. You don't see any pictures of repukes popping up.
Obama is third pic of course , Hillary first shows up down a little bit
Of course this guy pops up as well LOL OCCUPY MELBOURNE!

(41,694 posts)And you know damned well that the term "Corporate Whore" is not gender specific.
But since your mind is made up, why bother.

(68,868 posts)matter who is using the term, they're a misogynist jackass, even if they purport to be from the left.
I get that people want to mainstream 'whore' whilst Clinton is running for President, but they should really set that impulse aside.

(146,317 posts)make a non-existent point? Do people call politicians names? Yes, they do. A Google search is going to turn up instances of that.
Such name-calling is crass and rude. There are crass, rude people. I'm sure other searches for rude language directed at Democrats would bring up photos, as well. Try piece of shit used car salesman, for example. That such searches result in the expected images is irrelevant to anything.
I see no point in bringing such things to the attention of DU, frankly. It is something that should be expected to occur. Such searches are a waste of time and produce predictable results.

Above all, perhaps, the issue of mens reproductive autonomy brings home the fact that abortion can create a radical imbalance rather than equality between the sexes. For years, women have been sending a mixed message to men: Sometimes we expect them to be full partners in child-rearing, sometimes we treat them as little more than sperm donors, walking cash machines or bystanders. If mens parental role is to be taken seriously, women need to assume a moral, if not legal, obligation to involve their partners in any decision about pregnancy and we all need to have a serious conversation about mens reproductive rights no matter where that conversation may lead.
