GOP: Outreach to women is necessary because “women sometimes need a little more hand-holding.”

[flpoljunkie]

{div class="excerpt"]And can you shoot yourself in the foot and put your foot in your mouth at the same time? Republican National Committee official says more GOP outreach to women is necessary because “women sometimes need a little more hand-holding.”

The full quote:

"Women sometimes need a little more handholding, or they need their friends to help them make a decision. And by our going in and talking to them and recruiting and educating and training them to either get involved in a campaign or become a candidate, we're giving them the tools so that they can do that on their own," Larimer added.

3. "Women can't help it that they are the feeble sex." - Republicons (R)

"They can't help their inferior feeblosity and all that shit, so they need us Big Strong (smirk) Republicon Chickenhawk Pharisees to tell them what to think. This is the way our GAWD wants it. Smirk."

4. The one ability the GOP has

is to shove foot in mouth while head up ass-that takes a real contortionist.

5. Take a look at the context - Repub women Congressional recruits

Just to be a litle bit fair -

They were talking about recruiting Republican women into running for Congress, those are the women that they're talking about needing some hand-holding.

While I agree that the comment, if appllied to the ALL women is provincial, unjust and untrue. But when applied to the subset of women referred to, well... ..... ..... admittedly, there ARE very few Repub women in Congress.

Seriously. I'm surprised .... that Michael Steele didn't say this. Michael, my man, you failed me.

[RoadRage]

11. Aww, shucks - ya'll are gonna help out little old me?

Why I just don't understand those politicy things - so you just tell me what I need to know. I sure do appreciate it when a nice big male dominated group like yourselves will do my thinkin' for me, 'cause thinkin' is hard work!
