Republicans’ Attempt To Woo Women At Gubernatorial Debate Fails Miserably



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.

Looks like the distaff side could use a lil old fashioned consciousness raising.

Glad you're here! This is just beyond dumbfounding. They REALLY think this will resonate with any women other than the Stepford kind.

Unbelievable! But what's even more shocking and disturbing to me is the thought that there ARE republi-CON and CONservative women out there who find this acceptable - and keep on voting for it!!!!

Somehow it's okay with them???? Hard to believe.

Buying their votes with a slave auction? Or a Hispanic outreach with the theme song to the "Frito Bandito?"

"We will do away with the pretense of candidates expressing their own opinions and beliefs. Instead, panelists will ask a question, then audience members will bid on the right to put the words in their mouth. Of course if you actually want them to follow through and enact policy, that will cost substantially more."
