Republicans, Schrepublicans

Crash and Burn

The problem with raining on everyone else's parade, as the Republican Presidential candidates all do to each other is that it just creates a rain storm that everyone wants to hide from. With one click of the tv you are all gone. Are you all working for Obama?

Romney thinks no one remembers that he ran unsuccessfully for President a while ago and acts like he has been sagely sitting on the sidelines in the business world without Presidential aspirations until Obama came to office and he determined to free the country of the oppressions of what he mistakingly believes to be european socialism. Gingrich lectures Romney on negative ads when he started it with his Citizens United movie that trashed Hillary back in 08 which launched a Supreme Court case eventually that paved the way for the system to be polluted by big money. Payback is a witch, isn't it Newt.
Then there's Santorum whose Sanctimony would make a nun blush lecturing New Hampshire on his belief that gayness means promiscuity and polygamy when the argument is the opposite--gay marriage is the opposite of promiscuity because it is about two people trying to form long lasting bonded relationships sealed in the law and the people of New Hampshire have already spoken on the point and favor that. Talk about needing to get new campaign advisors. Do you have to actually be booed off a stage to get that you flunked Supreme Court moot court 101?
Head bangingly dumb, these politicians this time around. Is that the best you all can do?

Note to Santorum. If you wish to be the President of all the people, not just suburban housewives making preserves, let me introduce you to a few women who work because you think they are morally inferior to you (names have been changed to protect the innocent):

1. Sally lost her father to lung cancer when she was 8. She grew up with a mother who worked as a special ed. school teacher and never remarried and had a rather consuming medical condition herself. She struggled. Sally determined never to be totally dependent on any man because they can die. She is an Executive Vice President of a major company and a working mother.

2. Louise lost her aunt, her father's sister when she was 12 to suicide because the aunt was in an abusive relationship with her husband who was on disability and could not provide for the family. Louise's father determined to teach his girls that they would never be exclusively dependent on any man because he feared them being trapped in a bad marriage so he promoted and encouraged Louise's professionalism. She is an attorney. Her sister is the President of a major corporation and a working mother.

3. Amy's father was a drug addict in and out of prison for the whole time that Amy grew up throwing her mother into emotional turmoil all her life and she had to work to keep a roof over Amy's head. Amy determined that she would never be totally emotionally or financially dependent on any man and is raising a child as a single mother. She works two jobs.

4. Rachel lost her husband at age 50 so she went back to school for a graduate degree. She was still raising her youngest still at home and didn't remarry. She worked in the education field and became a professor in a state college where she worked into her 70s.

I know all of these women. No. 1 is my godkid cousin, No. 3 is my niece, No. 4 is my grandmother, No. 2 is me.
I have Zero empathy, tolerance or patience for Santorum lecturing anyone in "It takes a Family" or anywhere else on women being less than virtuous for not sitting at home with seven kids. Call me a radical feminist.
