Republicans Are Demonizing Female Candidates to Win Votes. Don't Let Them.
Yahoo ^ | 8/21/18 | Sady Doyle

The 2018 midterms are close upon us, and for Republicans looking to keep control of Congress, the face of Democratic iniquity definitely has a certain...look.

According to a new report by The Hill, Republicans are planning to hold on to their seats by tarring their opponents as “puppets” of more widely known and hated politicians: Specifically, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (old! Corrupt!), Rep. Maxine Waters (crazy! Scary!), and Congressional candidate Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (radical! Socialist!). Other popular targets include feminist harpy Kirsten Gillibrand and Trump’s old favorite, Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren. You may have noticed these Democrats all have one major thing in common: they’re all women. And while this strategy may seem ludicrous, especially given that none of these women, on their worst days, could match the ongoing flame-out in the Oval Office, it may not be. If history shows us anything, it’s that this gambit is depressingly likely to work.

In practice, these politicians don’t all exercise the same level of power, and there are male politicians with equal or greater power who have largely been spared. Bernie Sanders is a socialist, but the RNC has yet to send out a mailer comparing him to Stalin, whereas Ocasio-Cortez - who technically hasn’t even been elected yet - is already a “mini-Maduro.” Trump occasionally goes in on Senate Minority Leader “Cryin’ Chuck Schumer,” but he has made a point of designating him Pelosi’s “sidekick” - a soft and powerless accessory to the real, female threat.

Still, framing these women as the evil masterminds behind the Democratic party stands to be effective.

Then why stop now? Sady needs to read the internets once in awhile.

Gee, no surprise here.

Did the lady say anything about the organized ISIS effort to set up school massacres? I am going to guess he hasn’t yet.

Republicans weren't the first to notice that the soul of a woman was created below!

They are front holes and I don’t want to see what the new front whole knit hat would look like! Vote As POTUS requested, he wants Republicans! Not front hole Democrats!

The Rats are desperate to avoid a red wave. Everything they say or do from now to November will be distractions from the fundamental issue: Trump is right about curbing illegals.

Now that an illegal alien has been charged with the murder of Mollie Tibbetts, all other issues (including the mythical war on women) will pale in comparison.

It’s a real shame that the democRATs never recruit intelligent, rational women to run for office. Instead, they put up these idiots who are nothing but party hacks and are incapable of uttering an intelligent idea.

Anyone who thinks the Republicans don’t notice and won’t use the lack of intellect against is just about as stupid as the average female democRAT politician.

IMHO, the democRATs who put these mindless women up as candidates are doing more harm to the notion that women should be treated as equals than any misogynist ever could.

“Don’t you dare criticize those politicians because they’re really helpless and fragile women folk!” — translated to show the real meaning and the real reason why we can’t criticize them

The Left is more and more an incoherent sack of snowflakery and flapdoodlery.

If there was a real world Lalo the Limner (a Thieves World character) his portraits of the people in power might be most illuminating.

If Schumer is described as Pelosi’s sidekick,

Imagine the controversy if Pelosi were described as Schumer’s sidekick.

If you can’t take the heat, go back to the kitchen? Or did I get that wrong?
