Source: Think Progress
Three of the four GOP candidates for Colorado governor took part in a debate Tuesday that was meant to reassure women that Republicans have their best interests in mind. But if Republicans really want to debunk that there is any war on women, they might not want to start by talking about women as ornamental or voting as a dating game.
At the start of the Women and Colorados Future debate, the moderator explained that it would be like a dating game, where a panel of four women could interview the three bachelors former Congressman Bob Beauprez, former state Senate Minority Leader Mike Kopp, and Secretary of State Scott Gessler. The fourth candidate, ex-congressman Tom Tancredo, did not attend.
The moderator invited the women to join the stage, saying, Its so much more ornamental if the four of you would be on the stage with the four of us. Theme music from The Dating Game TV show played as the panelists took their seats.

we'll discuss rape as a marvelous natural form of birth control. Break-out Session B will expose how the girl scouts are spreading femo-marxism. For break-out Session C, special guest Ann Coulter will explain how the Nineteenth Amendment undermines the grand political vision of our Founding Fathers, and she'll help us all get up to speed on strategies for repeal. Finally, break-out Session D will provide tips for cooking delicious meals that your family can eat while watching the Benghazi hearings"
