GOP candidate for MO US Senator answers the question "Do you favor women's rights"

[ehrnst]

With this:



I think some "Career Obsessed Banshee" and "Hell Bent Feminist" buttons would generate a lot of cash for the Missouri Democrats.

1. Natural Womanhood?

[Orrex]

10. Maybe he's a Carole King fan?

[longship]

28. Or maybe an Edna Doorknocker fan?

Sorry! Couldn't resist. Sometimes one has to have a bit of levity. Plus, this twelve year old is awesomely talented.

https://m.

I apologize for the thread hijack.



On edit: let's try this one.

[robbob]

41. Anyone who can get Simon flustered and blushing

Has got my vote! 😁

[longship]

43. She won!

I keep going back to her AGT performances. I view them over and over. She is incredible. But this one is awesome. Darci is doing all the singing, even while she is negotiating the walk down to the judges stand. She never misses a beat, or a note.

This is the performance that cemented her AGT win. It was perfection. Plus, Simon was correct. Darci has a wicked sense of humor.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

54. Hillary won the election! By Three Million votes. It did not finish off women.

She lost the electoral college by 80,000 votes.

[RandomAccess]

68. Utterly incredible

Her talent and ability is mind-blowing. I'm in awe. She probably could have competed on her singing ability alone.

[lkinwi]

73. LOL

[Cha]

76. lol

[CTyankee]

52. Paging Aretha Franklin...

[longship]

69. See my Edna Doorknocker post, above.

As a near lifelong Detroiter, I am a huge Aretha fan.

Oh! And Darci Lynne Farmer is absolutely incredibly talented.

My best, as always.

[CTyankee]

70. I'm sorry, I can't understand the Edna Doorknocker post...where is it?

I'm confused

[longship]

71. Post #28, above. Darci Lynne, America's Got Talent winner.

She's a class act, at twelve -- now thirteen -- years old.

Plus, Edna Doorknocker is a naughty, naughty old person. That's something I want to aspire to be, as long as it isn't a Drumpf analogue.

[thbobby]

2. Did he see last weekend's marches?

Yea, this guy is endearing himself to women voters.

[Perseus]

24. Sorry to say it but

republican women have plugs in their ears, and some of them seem to agree with what the guy said, so I don't expect he will get too much rejection from that.

I have a woman friend, mother of two daughters, who refuses to listen to anything politics, she votes straight republican, doesn't care who it is, if he/she has an (R) to the left of their names she votes for them. Her argument? Her grandparents were republican, her parents are republican, so she is republican.

She would vote for that guy, even if he were convicted of abusing and physically hitting his wife, why? because she would never hear about it. What % of white women voted for Trump?

[Wounded Bear]

47. In other words, it's a religion for her...

[Hav]

3. Wow

Typical for today's Republicans. They want to go back to the 19th century.

[Laurian]

4. I would also like to have someone prepare my meals promptly at 6

and keep my house clean and tidy, and I'm a woman.

What a creep......and his campaign photos are creepy.

[shenmue]

5. Haaaaaaa I can't even

[Vinca]

6. Gee, Chanel's a lucky lady.

[ProfessorGAC]

66. Beat Me To It Again, Vinca!

My first thought was "This guy has a finacee?" In 2018?

[Pope George Ringo II]

7. Just in case anybody thought Donald Trump was the only thing wrong with the GOP

Along comes Sykes to remind us it's also the candidates and the voters, but other than that everything's fine.

[crazycatlady]

8. Paging Claire McCaskill

Can you ratfuck another primary?

[ehrnst]

12. I think this guy will be good for Democrats

He could turn out to be the Ross Perot of the Missouri US Senate race.

[crazycatlady]

19. Like Todd Akin?

Claire McCaskill ran ads in the primary attacking the other GOP candidates.

[Cha]

77. Yeah, another todd akin.. there ya go

[dchill]

9. K&R.

[Tavarious Jackson]

11. I'm glad these type of people are showing us who they are.

It reminds us to stand strong with our sisters. It's a reminder, women must never feel comfortable and put down the torch. If the torch is put down toxic masculinity will be sure to grab and run with it. During the primary there were Russian trolls here on DU telling Millennial women that sexism didn't exist. I'm serious. DU was flooded with Russian trolls saying sexism didn't exist. I could not believe what was happening even here at DU.

[YessirAtsaFact]

13. What a buffoon

I guess he missed polling data about the special election trends where educated suburban women left the GOP in droves.

Maybe he thinks stance will be attractive to them.

[ehrnst]

14. That or the "Blue Steel" photos... (nt)

[Stallion]

65. A Better Blue Steel Stare

?itok=WhhA-Hh3

[not fooled]

40. Oh, but

what a way with words!

Such flowery expressions describing medieval womanhood!

"Career Obsessed Banshee" and "Hell Bent Feminist" would indeed look good on buttons!

[Orrex]

15. I'm willing to bet that ol' "Courtland" thinks that Larry Nassar is the real victim

[NurseJackie]

16. Oh, good Lord! It never ends.

[hibbing]

17. Career obsessed banshees n/t

[pintobean]

18. From the legitimate rape wing of the Mo. GOP.

Missouri Attorney General Josh Hawley will be the GOP nominee. McCaskill has a lot more money, but Mo has gone deep red. She will have her hands full and could use all the help we can give her.

[SWBTATTReg]

79. and we're here waiting to do just this...

[hatrack]

20. What a steaming pantload this clown is . . .

[NNadir]

21. Is this guy a serious candidate or a joke candidate?

If he's a serious candidate it's getting worse, not better given that we now have the most ignorant and corrupt President in our long and once magnificent history.

[ehrnst]

27. Filed with the FEC, and declared in Missouri. (nt)

[onenote]

59. He's a serious candidate in his own mind

But his chances of getting the nomination are negligible. Open secrets show him having $0 campaign funds.

Too bad. He would be a hoot to run against. Here's another gem from him: http://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article187087973.html

[NNadir]

60. Well, given how I and many others felt about that...

...ridiculous excuse for a human being when it announced its candidacy who is now sullying the White House, one never knows.

The self destruction of the United States now underway is the most shocking political event in my lifetime since the implosion of the Soviet Union.

[ehrnst]

61. Interesting - he has two videos, professionally done

which cost WAY over $500, the one donation that is registered (from him, of course).

The videos are "paid for by Sykes for Senate" but there's no way they could be.

Someone did this for him for gratis or partial gratis, and it's not been recorded as a donation.

A quick look at Sykes' LinkedIn shows this guy "recommending him," who works in the military shooting and editing video:

https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-wright-699061155/

He links from his webpage to a portfolio of his military videos.

https://www.dvidshub.net/portfolio/1110886/stephen-wright

I wonder if those two Sykes videos were done on taxpayer funded equipment....

[Hortensis]

74. Very interesting, Ehrnst. Todays' Repubs are feeling full of beans

in a lot of ways, and that definitely includes reasons to follow the money.

[lkinwi]

72. OMG, floozy attacks on Roy Moore.

I wonder what this guy’s past is like.

[sinkingfeeling]

22. He thinks he's Trump, 30 years ago. Sees 'eye to eye' with the orange pig.

And he's lived in Missouri less than a year. Unfortunately, he's another hateful, ex-military pr**k from Arkansas, aka, Tom Cotton.

[mcar]

23. Is this from The Onion?

Sweet jumping Jaysus, it's hard to tell anymore.

[liberal N proud]

25. Unabashed Misogynistic tripe

[gratuitous]

26. Waitasecond; are Courtland and Chanel living together without benefit of clergy?

It sure sounds like it.

[Stallion]

62. Yes Why is Chanel Waiting at "Home" each Day to Cook Him Meals at 6:00

doesn't she have a home? She must have her own key-otherwise how does she get in before he comes home. A Republican Premarital Co-Habitator

[brer cat]

29. Wait....he left out feminazi.

Rush will be very disappointed! There are a dozen or more campaign ads in there. I especially liked "nasty, snake-filled heads."

Did you read the comments? They are posting his cell number for us to call! Sooooo tempting.

[NCTraveler]

30. The words of an oppressor.

It's horrifying. They have a desperate need to subjugate women.

It is a power trip. Every bit the same as those who say "women asked for it".

This mans thoughts about women fall in line with slave owners of the past.

Oppressive. Oppressive. Oppressive. The line of thought and direct line to ownership and rape is clear.

[bobbieinok]

31. Big buddy of Clare's last GOP opponent! MO GOP grows some real weirdos

[The Genealogist]

81. Boy I'll say

This disgusting weirdo would have plenty of disgusting weirdos lining up to vote for him in this state.

[Historic NY]

32. What he wants is a Stepford wife.

how will that play in Mo.

[NCjack]

33. Opps. He just stepped in it. nt

[ehrnst]

34. His fiancee appears to be an out of work Victoria's Secret model working as a cocktail waitress

at a colonial africa safari themed men's club - note that homespun dress and the gunpowder holster she wears.



And she's an ARTIST:

http://www.chanelrion.com/

[longship]

35. Gunpowder holsters, always handy when shooting pool.

Ya know, just in case.

[bobbieinok]

36. Campaign stuff shows him posing as a young super man*ly stud, Iraq vet

[malaise]

37. Good effin' grief!

Who are these morons? Banish them.

[Saviolo]

38. Anti-feminists

Why does it seem like so many anti-feminists and MRA/PUA assholes treat relationships as transactional?

"I will give my fiancee/wife UNCONDITIONAL LOVE*!"

*here are the conditions under which the unconditional love will be given.

He's imposed a "small price" on his relationship and his wife's "women's rights" but brushes it off because she "loves to pay" it anyway. How do you fall in love with someone transactionally? I mean, this sounds like REALLY traditional marriage. You remember the kind where it was literally a financial transaction with dowry, etc?

[bobbieinok]

39. What's his church? Stereotypical fundamentalist view of role of women.

[PatrickforO]

42. Can we say, Right Wing Nut Job?

Geez.

Kind of misogynistic, isn't he? A fine specimen of Republican manhood...

[Zambero]

44. He deserves fish sticks 7 nights a week

Traditional frozen variety!

[Wounded Bear]

49. And creamed corn...

lots and lots of creamed corn.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

45. Wow!

A real Neanderthal transplant (this is crying out for an Encino Man Meme)

[VaBchTgerLily]

46. WTF???!!!

[BadgerMom]

48. He sounds nice.

Now I’m off to contribute to Claire McCaskill.

[Marthe48]

50. What an uninformed little man he is

Women have worked at home or in public for a lot longer than 5 decades. Think of the farm women who had their butter and egg money. Think of the women who took in laundry,cleaned houses, wet-nursed. Think of saloon girls. Think of unspoken scientists, think of women who were the first nurse, the first doctor, the first astronaut. If every person of every sex, every color, every faith could work to his or her full capacity, there would be no limit to the benefits. But no, jerks like this guy want to cripple humanity with outdated, outmoded ideals that never were and never will be, except for a few upper class homes where people can role-play to their hearts' content.

I've got cookbooks over 100 years old that belonged to my grandmother and my great aunt. Not only cooking, but how to dress game and fish, how to care for an invalid, how to make clothing dye, how to make chemical cleaning products, how to determine if the wood-burning cook stove was hot enough to bake bread, or cool enough to cook custard. Women in the home worked all day every day, and they were never done. And not only the work, but being married to Courtland Sykes types on top of it all. It's no wonder you go old cemeteries and see 3 or 4 wives for every husband, and sometimes infants, too.

This guy doesn't want a wife. He wants a slave. He can throw in terms like women's rights, but on his terms, so no thanks. I need a caveman like him like I need a crutch. He and his family sound like half-life never-weres.

[barbtries]

51. it's 2018

and we have elected officials who still don't believe that women are people. disgusting.

[spooky3]

53. Equally nutty: see his fiancees political illustrations here:

http://www.chanelrion.com

[3catwoman3]

55. He spewed out...

...a lot of words when 3 would have done - "No, I don't."

Or even one - "No."

[Danascot]

56. Breaking news of secret payments to his dominatrix mistress

in 3, 2, ...

[bronxiteforever]

57. David Attenborough should narrate a special on these types

“Some members of the species were evolutionary dead ends: destined to die off like trilobites.”

[firstwife]

58. Hey, all you nail-biting, maniphobic, hell-bent

shrieking feminist snake-headed she-devils in Missouri, how about you show this junior Dotard what the women’s vote can do in a Missouri Senate election? Mm-Kay? Thanks.

[Stallion]

63. Chanel is a Funny Name for a South Korean

You must read "About" her life-story-its crazy loony tunes stuff too--something about her family moved her back to area near South Korea DMZ because of Bill Clinton. She could literally see 14 year old Kim Jung Un from her back porch. I think these 2 probably met while seeking "treatment":


"What started this peculiar journey for us was the candidacy of William Clinton in 1996. That year, Clinton ran for reelection against dad's old friend and onetime political mentor, Bob Dole. Clinton was the last straw, so dad picked up stakes and moved us out of the country. I think he wanted us to see what a debauched idea socialism was and that socialism was what the Clintons stood for. He wanted us to see what socialism did in the real world—how it destroyed people and human happiness in practice.
​
"First, we moved to South Korea, a few miles from the DMZ, where I began the first of the many years it took to learn to speak my mother's native Korean. There, I could look out across the fences into and across the DMZ, past soldiers and guns, at the worse enslavement and torture of human beings on God's earth at this insanity of the total socialist state--at what was the home of a then 14-year-old boy named Kim Jung Un, who was playing somewhere inside this prison camp country; who would soon grow into a madman who would one day die in there when he tried to blow up America and the world, killing millions, including my Korean loved ones in Seoul, just 30 miles from the DMZ.

64. Time to trot out the 1950 Good Wife's Guide

The original Good Wife's Guide

As originally printed:

~ Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

~ Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. He has just been with a lot of work-weary people.

~Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

~Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives.

~Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. and then run a dustcloth over the tables.

~Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

~Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces (if they are small), comb their hair and, if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.

~Be happy to see him.

~Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

~Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first – remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

~Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home later or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.

~Your goal: Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.

~Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

~Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.

~Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.

~Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.

~Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

~A good wife always knows her place.

[ChubbyStar]

67. Good Grief

The list is absurd, TAKE OFF HIS SHOES? What a crock of horse shit.

[Skittles]

75. what a tiny little man

no doubt he is a Trump-humper

[JI7]

78. this sounds like some Parody, even the pictures of him look like a Parody
