Wisconsin Lawmaker Says Women Should Stay in Abusive Marriages

All I'm hearing from American politics the last few months is anti-women bullshit. Do you folks in the US have any politicians who aren't misogynistic assholes?

What a douche hole. Even creepier that he looks like Alan Alda doubling as a used car salesman.

He need to STFU before some abuses him with a foot up the ass or a bullet to the head.

So basically what he's saying is women give up too easily? what the fuck!!! how much abuse is she supposed to take before she can leave? the article doesn't say,but This is giving men permission to do whatever the fuck they want and someone may be killed because of it.

off topic - but what's scary is that handsome Tom Skerritt could be his father. He's 80!

Have the Republicans always been so misogynistic?
Pretty much evey thread here is Repulicans wanting to strip women of their rights and treat them as shit.

I think they are realizing that their party is winding down. And the fear of losing power has them lashing out in every direction hoping that something catches and they can build on fear to retain power. Couple that with the embracing of the most extreme edges of their ideology and a black man in the White House and every prejudice is on full display. I'm not sure I would buy this as a believable plot line in a book or movie if it weren't actually happening.

ETA: Explains it all pretty well (except the why of the shift) http://nymag.com/news/frank-rich/gop...roblem-2012-4/

I've never seen the bi-partisan attacks so vicious though, but I really haven't followed politics until the last 5 years or so. It just seems so unnecessary - what happened to the UNITED States?

These people have always been there. I don't keep up with politics to know who ventured out first (here lately) with all this misogynistic nonsense, but whoever did got the rest of these clowns braver and braver and now they think there's safety in numbers. They've all been relatively quiet for a while and it's time to speak up for family values (gag, wtf, all families have the same values???) and protect the American Way. Which is guess is that white males run the show and everybody else knows their goddamned place.

Seriously girls watch your backs. Next thing you know we are going to be clubbed over the head and drug into a cave.

I'm sure both parties are to blame somewhat, but the partisanship really amped up during the Clinton administration (I'm looking at you, Newt, and, ewww), and seems to get ratcheted up whenever a Dem is in the White House.

The anti-woman stuff is reminiscent of the 70s, though, and the backlash to the sexual revolution in the 60s. I keep expecting Anita Bryant and Phyllis Schlafly to rear their ugly heads again. It is really disturbing and I think women need to fight back harder.

what the ever-loving FUCK is going on in Wisconsin???

**MontanaMama** · March 28th, 2012, 11:46 AM

I've been hearing the Repub talking points lately as the contraception issue is being pushed by the left. And yet, I never hear them challenged on proposed bills making their way through state legislatures. Yea for our limp dick journalists.
