The GOP long ago turned against women.

So what is unusual for today’s GOP is at least on this, the GOP turning against the League of Women Voters, the GOP is not being hypocritical.

The “turning against” has been happening for some years. In Wisconsin, GOP candidates started refusing to answer LWV candidate questionnaires during the Scott Walker years (i.e. after 2010).

The framers never intended women to vote; the Republican Party is simply supporting Constitutional Originalism. I’m certain the League of Woman VOters will recognize this as a principled stance and lend their support to the GOP efforts to make women property, again.

Seriously. You can’t live in the world attacking everyone who ever disagrees with you. You end up friendless and alone, and that’s a bad place to be.

If your basic position is: We, the wealthy white males, are being marginalized, punished, shamed, and discriminated against… it does kinda help prove your point… though, to your point, it might prove to be a poor electoral strategy.

My Congresswoman is running her 6 campaign for MO-2. She has never once been on a debate stage. I think it was back in 2014 during her second run that it was advertised that she would be at the League of Women Voters debate, she cancelled.
This woman has never held an open town hall, she only does phone town halls. She’s notorious for getting photo ops at local businesses, we call her photo-op Annie.

Now that this attitude is spreading, it seems to me that Republicans want to end Representational democracy.

I clicked through but no information available. I can’t tell if that’s a mating dance or its feet are just cold.

And that’s just the way the GOP likes it. They don’t have to defend themselves in an uncontrolled setting against their lack of vision for helping their constituents. It’s a fail-safe way to protect themselves.

Pretty sure it’s a mating dance (snow notwithstanding). It wouldn’t be holding its wings out away from its body if it were cold and other grouse do similar dancing movements in mating season. You can also see other grouse doing the same dance in the background (near the top of the video, second segment)

OT: I spoke the other day of marching in the local community parade with the Dems on Saturday. I mis-stated that the GOP wasn’t in the lineup, but I’ve discovered, now, that I’m wrong:

Republican Party of St Croix County

Pepper Fest is right around the corner! Please join with us in representing The Republican Party of St. Croix County by walking in the parade. The Party is float number 72-A.

The Dems are float number 91 - second to last in the parade.

Hmmmm…

Confirmed it just now. Saw a film in ninth-grade biology of very similar behaviors.

Pepper Fest?

I’ve always wondered what it must feel like to have an overwhelming instinctual urge to do something like this when it’s time to mate. I can’t even imagine

Yes! Voting is Marxist ideology, don’t you you know?

Hard to believe how little sense there is in the US. I wonder how we made it this far?

The League of Women Voters and a group of Democratic Pennsylvania voters filed a lawsuit to challenge Pennsylvania’s 2011 congressional map as an unconstitutional partisan gerrymander under the state constitution.

PUBLISHED: October 29, 2018

The League’s lawsuit was successful and as a result PA’s Congressional split went from 13R and 5D (despite a large D registration advantage) to 9R and 9D.
