Is there a MOLE in the GOP?

Mich. lawmaker on silencing female colleague: It’s like giving a kid a timeout.

Michigan state Rep. Wayne Schmidt (R) recently compared prohibiting two Democratic women legislators from speaking to punishing a child.

“It’s like giving a kid a timeout for a day,” he told Lansing radio host Patrick Shiels. “You know, hey, timeout, you wanna comment too far, you spoke your piece. We’re gonna let these other people have their dissenting comments, and then we’ll get back to business.”

It's like they can't help themselves. Insulting women by insinuating they would have emotional outbursts, and daddy needs to place us in "Time out". GOD, someone giving them things to say to piss off women? Or is there a MOLE in the GOP?

1. They'd feel differently if the women started giving THEM "timeouts"!

2. I think they really are believing their own BS.

They really believe they can win with only the white christian male vote.

3. THAT my friend is the scary part

This may be what they really believe, we better take that into consideration. How from from that to a burqua? You hear me, sisters?

4. But but, but, when a certain linguist pointed this out

the firm father doctrine, here people laughed at him... he was and still IS on point...

5. I'd say so. It gives them a chance to calm down and get ahold of

themselves. You know how excitable women are. Prone to hysterics and all that.

6. That guy would not understand why the "timeout" remark was outrageous even if you

spent an hour explaining it to him carefully. It comes from the world he lives in. He thinks that world is the world.

7. His sex life is going into timeout

when his wife hears that one.
Penis.

12. Did he sprain his left hand, too

8. I think, fortunately, they really are just that dumb.

The smarter ones spent a LOT of time wrangling the rest, I imagine.

9. It is so insulting to treat women like they are children. I hope the women in these states pay

attention and vote them out. My goodness. Down right insulting.

10. Someone posted yesterday that Romney asked Rick Scott not to highlight an economic

recovery in his state of Florida so that Obama would continue to look bad on the economy and I wondered how it became public knowledge.

[DearAbby]

11. I heard that too

Scott is supposed to sacrifice his chances, Tell the people, Job growth in Florida sucks??? That will win him re-election.

13. Oh yeah. Rmoney must be desperate.
