Female Tea Party Leader regrets that women have the right to vote.

[sufrommich]

“I’m really going to set you back here. Probably the biggest turn we ever made was when the women got the right to vote. Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting. There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person. I do not see that in men. The whole time I worked, I’d much rather have a male boss than a female boss. Double-minded, you never can trust them.

Because women have the right to vote, I am active, because I want to make sure there is some sanity for women in the political world. It is up to the Christian rednecks and patriots to stand up for our country. Everyone has the right to vote now that’s 18 or over (who is) a legal citizen, and every person that’s 18 and over and a legal citizen should be active in local politics so they can make a change locally, make a change on the state level and make a change in Washington, D.C.”

Janis Lane is not the only woman to voice issues with the women’s vote. Back in 2007, Ann Coulter said that Democrats would never win an election again if women couldn’t vote. She also thought that the Democrats ought to hang their heads in shame for having so much trouble getting men to vote for them.

She has since revised that, saying that not only is the women’s vote bad, but also that liberal women should not be allowed to hold office. Liberal women, according to Coulter, get hysterical, start to cry, and are generally just too fragile to have a discussion with. This is about the same as what Janis Lane thinks.

How any woman can pull the lever for one of these freaks is beyond me.

[JustAnotherGen]

1. I'd like to point out to this idiot

That in my opinion - there is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, IndieTeaPUblican hateful women.

[sakabatou]

2. *facedesk*

[Pretzel_Warrior]

51. that one made me literally lol

[el_bryanto]

3. It's hard to know what to say to that - that world view is so warped.

I mean I guess I could understand if you believed in a strict patriarchal society; one in which men were naturally leaders and women were naturally adjuncts to men; than you might vote for that. But it's telling to me that Janis Lane and Ann Coulter aren't like that - if they really believed in strict patriarchy, why do they feel like they should be out there?

[seabeyond]

4. but she is a woman, ergo, feminist, and right to her choices, which makes it a correct choice for

the womans movement.

sarcastic.... just in case

[sufrommich]

6. Lol.nt

[The Straight Story]

36. She is a woman, any man not agreeing with her hates women and does not understand the issue.

And no, I wouldn't hold a door open for her unless it was on the edge of a cliff.

Also sarcastic, just in case.

[seabeyond]

37. even with skinners derision about doors, lol, here it is. da man. nt

[The Straight Story]

38. I also like cornflake chicken

while listening to the doors

[seabeyond]

39. my son and i thought it the best.. so?

[The Straight Story]

41. Skinner doesn't like cornflakes either

[liberal N proud]

5. I think this sums up the teabaggers and much of the republican party

These people will vote against their own best interest time in and time out. They support the parties moves to restrict voters, restrictions that they themselves may be impacted by.

It demonstrates that the mentality of these people has been so warped by the propaganda, they are incapable of making their own decisions.

[jwirr]

7. No one is forcing her to vote.

[sufrommich]

8. Like Phyllis Schlafly before her, women should

do as she says not as she does.

[treestar]

10. But that's not a solution for her

It's the other women being allowed to vote that is the problem. Their votes leave her with a world that is not to her liking.

[onehandle]

9. GOPNRAteahadists are not known for logic. nt

[sibelian]

11. It's like there's always this weird extra layer when women behave in intrustworthy ways.

As if men don't. Of COURSE they do.

When men are spineless and creepy it's not a Guy thing... why is it supposedly a Gal thing when women are spineless and creepy?

[siligut]

20. Maybe because the creepy-thing, when employed, is effective

It is unexpected, hidden, and then wham!

Men have evolved overtime to act in support of the pack, women, haven't experienced quite the same conditioning or natural selection.

Plus, we know effective women who go against the patriarch have to be pushed down. Social pressure is a means of control.

[sibelian]

24. ...

If we're gong for evolutionary psychology (which is a terribly messy idea anyway) how can we exclude "the pack" as a selection pressure from the natural selection for "inherent feminine traits"? That would require isolation from the pack, which doesn't make any sense. If anything I'd say women would be MORE likely to experience an internal desire and/or capacity to relate to "the pack". Men would ordinarily have spent more time out of it, going off doing stuff in the Big Wide World, if we're to believe what we're told.

Aside from all that, though I believe men and women have differing instinctive emotional responses to certain kinds of situation, that doesn't in and of itself explain the cultural attribution of extra nastiness when women don't make their true motives or emotions clear, which is what I was originally rerferring to. Men do the same thing all the time and it isn't a "gendered" problem when they do it and it's a "gendered" problem when women do it.

[siligut]

27. Yes, social pressure makes it a gendered problem

The social pressure is created to dissuade and discredit the women in an attempt to prevent them from exerting that sort of intense, sneaky power.

From your example, yes women conformed to be a part of the pack, survival depended upon it. But fast forward and you find that the alpha males produced multiple children, a current example: Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has 23 officially acknowledged children. Successful females were not as prolific.

I am quite interested in behavioral psychology and evolution/natural selection. I agree it is multilayered.

I am out of time for now, but this is important to me too.

[sibelian]

32. Okidoke, perhaps we shall brush horns gently again soon...

so to speak... lol

[earthside]

12. Why Democrats should win in a landslide this November

Stories like this ought to be turned into TV ads and run nationally from now until election day.

There is a Tea Party-Repuglican outrage like this almost everyday -- enough material is not the problem.

But I saw somewhere today a Washington Post poll showing Democrats faring poorly thus far in 2014 -- even though most folks agree with Democrats on the issues.

So it is a matter of motivation.

Where is the DNC, the House and Senate campaign committees working to nationalize the 2014 elections as a rejection of Tea Party-Repuglican extremism?

Of course, if Pres. Obama approves the Keystone XL pipeline, one of the most dependable parts of the Democratic base will be discouraged from participating (like dropping the public option did to the base in 2010).

[leftynyc]

19. Using keystone to not vote is beyond stupid

Pres Obama is not on the ballot in November.

[earthside]

25. Oh yes he is.

His name may not be there, but he is on the ballot.

And you and I may think Keystone is not a good reason to stay home, but there are plenty of doubts about Pres. Obama's commitment to fighting climate change, i.e., his advocacy of fracking, that the less partisan environmental voter will indeed wonder what the point is in voting if he approves Keystone XL.

Turning out the base is what it is all about in these congressional year elections -- Obama's leadership is what motivates many non-hack, base voters -- it is really that simple.

[leftynyc]

31. I understand the realities

of people blaming the President for everything that happens in the US but maintain it's beyond stupid to allow the pubs to get a bigger majority in the house and make it easier for them to take control of the senate by tying their vote to one issue. Beyond stupid.

[earthside]

48. You and I in complete agreement. n/t

[pangaia]

57. You are absolutely right !

"Stories like this ought to be turned into TV ads and run nationally from now until election day."

"Where is the DNC, the House and Senate campaign committees working to nationalize the 2014 elections as a rejection of Tea Party-Repuglican extremism? "

I mean, if they just spent 10 minutes a day they could put all this crap all over the nation and we would win in a landslide.
Where the hell are they?

[surrealAmerican]

13. It's pure projection.

She knows she is incapable of making rational choices that affect others, she just assumes it's somehow because of her gender - it isn't. She really is one of those diabolical, "double-minded&quot ?), untrustworthy, hateful people. Most women are not like that.

[Sheepshank]

14. It's interesting to see that today.....

there are still so many woman cannot shake off the supression and training endowed upon them by their overlords, and (generally) religion. THey have been told where their 'place' is and it's very uncomfortable for them to stray from that assigned role.

pretty pathetic, when people like me who have all daughters are trying hard to reinforce the 'no boundaries" meme when it comes to gender roles and equality.

[Le Taz Hot]

15. I'm not surprised.

During the fight for the E.R.A. in the 1970's and 80's, our second-largest opponents were other women.

[raven mad]

52. It sure was, Le Taz Hot. And that made me cry more than anything else when we lost.

My mom was born in 1916. She became an accountant, a civil rights worker in the 1960's - and could party like the devil himself (do NOT play poker with her, ever). I still miss her - she left us in 2005. Still mean as a rattlesnake.

She absolutely hated any crap that made her 2nd class, which is why I think she got so involved in civil rights.

[RC]

16. Well, maybe if she would stop pissing off her own gender. she would not be seeing so many

mean, hateful women. Ya think?
And that goes for anyone, of what ever gender. Stop pissing others off without an actual, just cause. Most people don't deserve it.

There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person.

[siligut]

21. She knows where her power comes from

She toes the line or she is out.

[dixiegrrrrl]

17. I would comment on her remarks but

I feel too tearful..

[justhanginon]

40. Yeah right! If Ms. Coulter

would engage with some of you ladies on DU, she would righteously get her you know what handed to her at somewhere around, oh I don't know, perhaps the speed of light!

[leftynyc]

18. I'm betting this revolting woman

sure doesn't mind the massive tax bill I pay every year. If she thinks I'm going to continue to pay it without the right to vote, she can stuff it. Although she does seem to be the perfect representative for a teabagger with a uterus. Wonder if she wouldn't mind starring in some campaign ads.

[yellowcanine]

22. I would point out to this self hating woman that it is mostly "mean hateful" men who start wars and

perpetrate violent crimes against women and men.

[3catwoman3]

23. Try as I might...

...I cannot understand this point of view. I was going to say that I cannot understand this kind of thinking, but there doesn't seem to be any actual thinking going on here.

[JaneQPublic]

26. "Get hysterical, start to cry"

Then by Coulter's logic, John Boehner shouldn't be allowed to hold office.

[nyquil_man]

28. What she's really saying is that she wants an electorate guaranteed to vote Republican.

Let's not kid ourselves. The only women she sees as "mean and hateful" are those who don't agree with her.

[Sarah Ibarruri]

29. See? Even women can be mentally ill. Always the right wing ones. nt

[MissMillie]

30. I have an answer for these women....

(these women that think women shouldn't vote)


Be my guest ladies. Next time there's an election, YOU stay home.

[louis-t]

33. Self-hating, mean-spirited, ugly people...

Republicans are.

[joeybee12]

34. I agree...although I only regret this one particular woman got the right to vote...

What a dipshit.

[struggle4progress]

35. Nothing forces Janis Lane to vote. Why should we keep talking about her?

[Kber]

42. Wow - she needs better friends.

The women I hang with don't even remotely resemble her description.

But my mother raised me better, I guess. (Both to behave better and to expect better of others.)

Maybe we should just revoke voting rights for mean and vindictive people, regardless of gender? Although somehow i don't think that would work in the GOP's favor either.

[Rex]

43. "There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women."

"I do not see that in men."













YEP. We men don't have it in us to be diabolical.

[sufrommich]

44. She's got a whopping case of self hatred

mixed with a good dose of projection.

[Rex]

45. I have a few aunts that feel that way and it drives me crazy.

They don't think a woman should run for POTUS, don't think a woman should try and become something like an astronaut. Believe women should stay home and raise the kids. They were brainwashed into thinking this is a man's world and they are okay being second class citizens.

And no amount of talking to them about it will ever change the way they feel.

[sufrommich]

46. I sometimes think some of those women

have much regret about their own lives and lash out as a way of controlling their own anger,it's sad to see but it happens.

[G_j]

47. "you never can trust them"

well that about says it all..

[URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[raven mad]

49. When I read something like this,

my poor head.........

[ismnotwasm]

50. Because there's never been mean- spirited diabolical men

Who hold most of the political power. I'm sure deep down, Putin is a helluva guy. And didn't the entire RW want have a beer with Bush? I'd mention Hitler but that would a bit much. Mao Se Tung, Pol Pot. Tons of fun with with shitheads

Think of it Putin and Palin can stare at each other through binoculars.

[Deep13]

53. After abolishing slavery, women's suffrage was the best thing the USA ever did. nt

[Warpy]

54. Mean, hateful women?

Gee, honey, you would know a lot more about that than I do. My friends are caring, funny women. I guess your church just doesn't appeal to anyone but the mean ones.

Ladies who hate women like this Lane broad need to shut the fuck up and get back into their kitchens and experience the world they want for the rest of us.

[pangaia]

55. Well, I don't know. Doesn't sound so far fetched to me.

"There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person. "


I really can't argue with that.
Why, I remember one time.......

[arcane1]

56. She is absolutely, 100% correct, and I fully agree.

But only about this part:

"every person that’s 18 and over and a legal citizen should be active in local politics so they can make a change locally"

Everything else she said was ignorant bullshit.

[Cha]

58. That's exactly the kind of Idiocy we're dealing with here. Teabagger are Grade Triple AAA

STUPID.

[Token Republican]

59. Would

telling her to STFU and make me a sandwich be considered sexist, ironic or karma?

[spanone]

60. please, tell me this is the onion, or mad magazine or some such shit, please??????
