MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell: Paul Ryan “not a pick for women”
Hotair ^ | 08/12/2012 | Erika Johnsen

Just after Paul Ryan made his running-mate debut in front of the USS Wisconsin on Saturday, Andrea Mitchell reported back to MSNBC --- and decreed that Romney's selection means that "this is a base election. This is not a pick for suburban moms, this is not a pick for women." ...What the what?

CLICK ABOVE LIN FOR THE VIDEO

In the name of all that is holy --- stop presuming to speak for me. Please, please, please, liberal women, quit boxing me in to your stupid self-stereotypes. It never fails to mystify me as to why women could possibly be so eager to reduce the scope of their interests to such small-minded identifications. Oh, that's right ... most of them don't, it's just a stupid political ploy by the Left to make it seem like there’s no logical way that half of the population could group themselves with the Republican party.

According to progressives these days, it appears that the depth of my political sentience amounts to assuring free contraception and guaranteeing my right to get an abortion (because, duh, ‘we don’t want the government in our bedrooms’ and whatever). I suppose there isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell that “suburban moms” could be more concerned with their children’s future in terms of their employment and wealth prospects and the overall fiscal solvency of the United States, than in terms of making sure a nanny state will cover the costs of their personal, private decisions. And goodness knows there aren’t any women who consider themselves a part of the conservative base — because any females who align themselves beneath such a banner clearly aren’t real women, or something. Facepalm.

MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell: Paul Ryan “not a pick for women”

Of course she means women like her and of course she thinks all women should think like her.
Newsflash for you Andrea, your time has come and gone.........

Right, Andrea. And four years ago, when a woman was picked, she wasn’t a pick for women either, basically because she chose to give birth to her children.

You posted it twice and it still doesn’t make sense.

PS - may want to study up on the proper usage of your/you’re before including it in your tagline.

Andrea Mitchell is not a “pick for men.”

The kind of women Andrea is referring to are looking for a “Sugar Daddy” to give them free things. That means they’d go for Biden, even though he’s ugly and has little gremlins stitched to his skull.

That's a fine observation. It's both telling and enraging.

Woman voted 56% to 43% for Obama. (Men were 49% - 48% for Obama - that's the gender gap).

Jews voted 78% for Obama. (2nd only to blacks as a major demographic backing Obama in 2008.)

Big Cities went 70% for Obama.

So, pretty much every demographic that she's a part of are hardcore Obama supporters. I wonder if she knows any woman who voted for McCain in 2008?

It was another Jewish-liberal-woman-big city-media star, Paulene Kael- who famously said "I can't believe that Nixon won, no one I know voted for him"

These people live in a bubble. She's married to Alan Greenspan (who is 20 years older than her!) I'm sure she's not getting the Freeper view of things at home from him.

Is Andrea a third or fourth generation ‘progressive’?

Andy Mitchell isn’t a woman in the true sense of the word.

She’s merely a gritty, old hag who fancies herself as a soldier in the army to get the worst leader since Nero re-elected to finish off the USA!

Andrea Mitchell does not like him for one reason. He is against abortion.

Yes you’re right. If they want sugar daddy, Bidden is the way to go. That’s their understanding of feminism,I guess.
