They are 'going to plow right through" women. Mitch and republicans are calling for direct sexual assault on every women in this country. They are not condemning it they are condoning rape/ sexual assault. From the floor of the gawd damn senate Mitch just said rape/ sexual assault is okay and he is more than willing to participate and emboldening others to do the same. They are enablers, voyeurs and perverts.When you PLOW a field you sow your seed. Get it? It is RAPE. The GOP is raping every woman in this Country and they are going to enjoy every moment as they tell us just to relax and enjoy it.
Do any of these men have a heart? Do any of these men have a soul? Do any of these men have a mother? A daughter? A niece? A granddaughter that they will look the other way from when assaulted?
One last question, will you praise your son when he commits this act and say 'boys will be boys'? Sorry, one last question, how will you feel if your son was assaulted?

A list collects statements about rape made by Republican politicians.
RATING
A Republicans on Rape graphic widely circulated online since 2014 collects various comments about that crime supposedly made by GOP politicians in recent years:
Rape is kinda like the weather. If its inevitable, relax and enjoy it.
On 24 March 1990, Texas oilman Clayton Williams, the Republican nominee in the Lone Star States upcoming gubernatorial election, was preparing for a cattle roundup at his West Texas ranch while undesirable weather conditions threatened to spoil the event. As he sat around a campfire with ranch hands, campaign workers, and reporters, Williams likened that days cold, foggy weather to rape, saying, If its inevitable, just relax and enjoy it.
Later that day Williams asserted that his comment had been a joke, and a few days later his campaign offered an apologetic statement about it:

BTW, that compilation of Republican quotes on rape would be incredibly effective in a commercial campaign. Just slowly run a scroll with the words on screen and a narrator repeating them, preferably a well known and respected female. Show the picture of the Republican on screen as the words display.
The date of the comment can be listed but isn't really necessary. It might actually help since they are spaced apart and will verify an ongoing mindset.
IMO, a commercial like that would be exponentially more valuable than something focusing on Kavanaugh alone. Viewers will be conditioned to tune out that type of thing.
This will never happen because our slogan types and commercial types are woefully inadequate, never sensing the big picture and always believing they have to spotlight current topics and landscape alone
