Santorum Remembers the Ladies

As much as iI wanted to create “confusion” amongst primary voters in MI, in the end I just could NOT DEMEAN AND LOWER myself to go out and vote for Santorum. He, the one who is so anti-women, so scornful of a college education, so against the rest of us, especially auto workers, how could I even think of signing my name to endorse this character? Why would he have several degrees when he wants the rest of us to be in servitude? Accept a rape as from “god”- a hardships as part of life? What god does he pray to? We women have more character, morals and ethics than this so-called man. So no, I would never vote for such a ‘thing’, for that is what we see him as.

Santorum has already jumped the shark, he’s just too damn stupid to realize it. He’s alienated just about every demographic out there except white, wealthy evangelical Christian men. He has rendered himself a non-factor going forward. It WILL be Romney versus Obama once the ‘Cirque de Freak’ Republican convention is all said and done.

He may remember them but he apparently has not learned anything from them – he probably doesn’t believe a woman can teach a man anything of REAL value! Sorry, but he lost the woman’s vote a LONG time ago – and that will hurt him.

I am going to try this again. If you all had listened to Rick’s speeches in their entirety, you wouldn’t be responding to all this media spin in a negative way. First of all, Rick has praised the women in his life many times in many speeches he has given. Karen is praised as being his ROCK on many occasions and he praises Elizabeth often for the hard work she does campaigning for him. People LOVE both of them. They are strong women who work hard. This isn’t the first time he’s praised them in public…just the first time ABC has paid attention to it! haha! Karen is a registered nurse and a lawyer…a strong woman of noble character and I admire her alot.

As for the birth control issues, he isn’t saying that women shouldn’t take it. He is saying that our government doesn’t have the right to make people and churches who disagree with its use pay for it. Obama isn’t talking about birth control anyway. His goal is abortion as birth control. But let’s get back to Rick on this.Birth control is an artificial substance that just happens to also be a group 1 carcinogen..Yes, birth control causes cancer! I am against it for that reason as well. I took it for a few months against my better judgement after my third child (having managed without it for 12 years!) and boy was I sorry! I got sick on it and never went back! Rick’s view is also that birth control is allowing our teens the freedom of being sexually active without consequences (at least until they get that STD or get pregnant) Teens don’t take BC on time and have no idea that you CAN get pregnant while on it! (recently a woman concieved triplets while on birth control) Birth control gives them a false alllusion that nothing will happen to them. But when they get that STD or become pregnant, then of course, they go out and get that abortion without ever coming to you about it! I see his point. If adult women went to take it, then go right ahead, but those of us who oppose it don’t want to pay for your birth control. If you want it, pay for it yourself.

Now, for the women in the military thing. The statement was taking WAY our of context. Rick was talking about MEN being sexually weak in the military (and yes, they are and he knows it!) He was also talking about men compromising a mission if he is put in a position to protect a woman in combat, Remember Jessica Lynch? She was kidnapped and raped and the men knew that cold happen to her!!! They had to design a special mission to rescue her! That is what Rick is talking about. Men are protectors and they should be. IF a woman wants to fight in combat, she better be damn good at it and be able to do what a man does (as someone said in a comment recently) b/c war is hell and our soldiers do NOT want to have to compromise their mission to save her! Do any of you want to go into combat? I didn’t think so. So stop squaking about it. Rick does not think women will be weak in combat, he is worried about the MEN working with women in combat! End of story on that one.

As for his views on education, he’s right on his views. College isn’t for everyone and not everyone wants to go to college. So I think he’s right that our government should not force people to go to college who don’t want to. You can’t mandate college. if a person wants to go, then fine but don’t make me! (I have a master’s degree so I know…I’ve seen students in college who are going b/c their parents want them to go and it doens’t take long for them to flunk out!)

Public schools are a sham..some are good and some are not! But they way the system is run now is not working. Kids with beliefs that are not considered tolerant are suspended for saying what they believe..and then, we have kids who are having emotional problems who don’t get help from school counselors b/c they are clueless and next thing you know a shooting takes place! Parents send their kids into school to learn and mature and often they are thrown into a building with bullies and kids with lifestyles that are messed up. and does the school take care of these things…usually not! I am a special ed teacher so I’ve seen it from the inside! If parents dont’ get a way to take back their rights as parents and keep being lazy and make the schools fix their kids, then we are in for a lot of heartache. Too many parents use public school as a babysitter service! It’s time we put the repsonsiblity on the parents to be a part of the system and take away the constant testing that tells us little about what the kids really know. (they practice taking the tests until they pass, but few of these kids are learning how to THINK!) He’s right. It’s time to change things here!

Enough said. Rick is a man for women and many of us have a website to support him…we also are doing the calls to recruit voters. Rick is for women and we are voting for him all the way. If you don’t agree, that’s fine, but at least take the time to view all his speeches in their entirety bofore believing the snipets of video that ABC and other liberal media show you. Most of what you hear from them is taken out of context. Time to vote in a man that values women – Rick Santorum! :)

It is true that Rick Santorum is the best friend of feminists. He voted for VAWA and IMBRA.

But that’s not conservative (and I mean that from a Constitutionalist perspective, not a religious nutcase perspective – look up the unconstitutionality of VAWA and IMBRA on google, both of which regulate how a man can be kicked out of his own home by a false charge from a lover and how he can be prevented from saying hello online to a foreign woman who wants strangers to contact her).

Men’s Rights groups hated the US Senate members like Brownback and Santorum who gave radical feminists everything they wanted during Bush’s second term while forming a pact between right wing churchladies, their White Knight whipped husbands and the NOW crowd.

Now look at the way Santorum just denied what he wrote in his book about “radical feminists”.

He said “those lines are new to me”.

Do you think men who condemn radical feminism would want to vote for him after he denied having a problem with that ideology? And after voting for VAWA and IMBRA?

Santorum’s problem is that he won’t stand behind his convictions nor are his convictions based on the Constitution.

It’s the men Santorum should not be getting the votes of.

His shtick is perfect for getting the votes of older women who want men to be sexually regulated.

Thanks to the commenters for the early morning laugh! They complain that ABC is skewing the perceptions of us poor silly women and then try to do the same, graciously explaining to us how we need not to be influenced by our overwhelming female emotions (especially if it’s that time of the month) but to RESEARCH. Which in the lexicon of Santorum apologists means reading every benighted speech this loon has made before drawing a conclusion based on the things the press has “taken out of context,” i.e. reported accurately because it was appalling. (Hint to politiicans: if you don’t want something reported, don’t say it). Santorum, like every other political candidate, has a limited opportunity to make his case and finding him ridiculous doesn’t impose a responsibility on voters to read all his bullspit speeches in order to really, really understand what an intolerant buffoon he is. Unfortunately for Mr. Santorum, his campaign has had the same paradoxical success as that old ad for Pabst Blue Ribbon. On the plus side, it got people to buy the beer. On the down side, it got them to taste it. We’ve tasted all the Santorum we need to. We ladies already know that we don’t care to down the whole glass.

Spiritual work goes off the rails as soon as the ego co-opts it. The more candidates call themselves ‘Christians,’ the less they are. “The first will be last and the last first.” Also, there is a Commandment “Thou shalt not bear false witness against another” but that’s the main mode of the Republicans.
