Apparently, it's vicious misogyny week at the Republican Party of Virginia. First, we had a Republican State Senator refer to pregnant women as "hosts" (see http://www.bluevirginia.us/diary/11103/video-va-senators-blast-steve-martin-for-misogynistic-demeaning-remarks-towards-women). Now, we have the Republican Party of Virginia Treasurer (formerly a top advisor to Ken Cuccinelli) using a disgustingly misogynistic expression that I won't repeat. (see http://bluevirginia.us/diary/11109/republican-party-of-virginia-treasurer-uses-virulently-misogynistic-phrase) Ugh.

P.S. Great job by Chris of Mason Conservative on this story (http://masonconservative.typepad.com/the_mason_conservative/2014/0/we-need-to-clean-our-own-house.html)

1. Hate to say it, but I'd rather it be out in the open so women can hear and act, rather than

keep it underground and pretend and get us "under the table", so to speak.

5. perhaps Barbara Comstock (R) would like to know R men call them a "sexist twat."

6. Let's just call it the opportunity for some "in your face" Reality Show Time. Cretins.

I had the same problem.

4. Virginia Republican Party Treasurer Bob FitzSimmonds needs to learn to own his words!

The facebook post-


•Heather Bailey ...I also think women are going to be very frustrated about about a man trying to usurp Barbara's position in this race. If women come out in force for her, it will create a battle cry for Republican women so loud that Howie Lind won't have a prayer of competing with her. Republican women are a force to be reconed with and I for one want to see this power harnessed effectively in key political races.
