Critter's Crap: Romney Just Doesn't Get It

An associate of Jerry Brown calls Meg Whitman a "w****" over

that was inadvertently taped by a voicemail machine (audio below), an associate of Democratic gubernatorial candidate


The Background

Is Meg Whitman a w****?

 

Just in case you need a refresher:

California Attorney General Jerry Brown, the state’s Democratic candidate for governor, left a phone message in early September for a union official whose endorsement he was seeking, but apparently forgot to hang up!

Because a lively discussion between him and some staffers afterward is caught on tape. And either Brown or a staffer — there is some dispute — uses the word "w****" to describe his Republican rival Meg Whitman.

The recording, obtained by the Los Angeles Times from the L.A. Police Union, is muffled and hard to hear. But the word "w****" is definitely thrown around several times at the notion of Whitman making a special deal with union officials to protect their pensions.

"Do we want to put an ad out? … That I have been warned if I crack down on pensions, I will be – that they’ll go to Whitman, and that’s where they’ll go because they know Whitman will give ‘em, will cut them a deal, but I won’t," Brown said.

Sadly and somewhat surprisingly, similar misogynistic comments have recently been coming on a regular basis, and nearly all of them were from progressive bastions and liberal women.

Stephanie Miller

Last month, liberal talk show host Stephanie Miller laughed uproariously when a female guest on her show said that if she ever met Michelle Malkin,

“I would kick [her] right in the nuts, and warned, Wear a cup, lady”.

Democratic Rep. Janis Baird Sontany of Nashville

Referring to her female GOP colleagues she said,

“You have to lift their skirts to find out if they are women. You sure can’t find out by how they vote”.

Cinta Wilson – Salon

“Sarah Palin may be a lady, but she ain’t no woman” and went on to say about Palin, “the Alaska governor as a Christian Stepford wife in a s*** librarian costume and the GOPs hardcore pornographic centerfold spread”.

The Huffington Post

“Meg Whitman is Bush in a skirt”.

The Washington Post

Ann Coulter is often referred to as Mann-coulter on political blogs in an effort to de-feminize her, and MSNBCs Keith Olberman once referred to Malkin as

“a mashed-up bag of meat with lipstick”.

Gene Lyons – Salon

In a Salon column last month headlined “Forget about the tea party what about the crumpets?” Gene Lyons wrote that,

“The most entertaining aspect of the 2010 election season has been the rise of the right-wing cuties political celebrities whose main qualification is looking terrific on television. From where I sit, in a comfortable chair in front of the tube, the GOP Cupcake Factor has enlivened an otherwise dreary campaign season”.

And the cuties in question are a former Governor (Palin), a current Congresswoman (Michelle Bachmann) and a current Senatorial candidate (Christine O’Donnell.)

And Lyons take on O’Donnell was this:

“Everybody knows some poor fool who married a woman like that”.

Lyons is a truly horrible excuse for a human being!

The Same Respect

Regardless of political inclination, and whether or not you agree with the above ladies of the right, they have the same right as every other woman to be treated with respect and dignity, and every time anyone liberal, conservative, man or a woman engages in sexist smears of this type, all women lose and so does society!.

Reid and Pelosi leading us into The Valley of Death

 

Instead of modeling the U.S. economy on successful states such as Maryland. New Jersey or Connecticut, Obama, Pelosi, Reid and other liberal lemmings decided to model the U.S. economy on California.

California is technically bankrupt so the result was predictable to all but the brain dead, and the U.S. is now heading for bankruptcy within the next ten years.

Ten years obviously seemed a long way off, so the administration is now speeding up America’s financial collapse by seemingly switching to a different economic model which is similar to the ones that are being used by the PIIGS, meaning Portugal, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Spain all of whom are awash in debts.

Why The U.S. Financial System Is Collapsing

The increasing size of the federal work force is usually an early indication of what lies ahead and the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that in the last year the federal government added 86,000 permanent (non-Census) jobs to the rolls.

And they were also high-paying jobs at that:

The number of federal salaries over $100,000 per year has increased by nearly 50% since the beginning of the recession and the average federal worker earns 77% more than the average private-sector worker.

To pay for this bigger and more expensive government, the private sector will obviously have to bear a heavier tax burden far into the future, which will likely suppress the innovation and entrepreneurship that creates growth and real opportunity.

And If No Changes Are Made Very Quickly

If these trends are not reversed, it’s hard to see how more and more Americans, especially younger Americans, will not be tempted into taking Government jobs that offer:

Better wages.

Offers the best job protection.

Allows the earliest retirement.

And guarantees the most lavish pensions.

A Look At Why Europe Is Going Bust

According to statistics from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the average Italian enjoys 42 days of vacation per year, whilst the average American has just 16.

The ISSP (International Social Survey Program) asked Americans and Europeans whether they believe;

“It is the responsibility of the government to reduce the differences in income between people with high incomes and those with low incomes?”.

In virtually all of Western Europe more than 50% thought that it was the government’s responsibility and in Spain 77% thought so.

Only 33% of Americans agree with income redistribution.

* The International Social Survey Program is a collaboration between different nations conducting surveys covering topics which are useful for social science research. The ISSP researchers develop questions which are meaningful and relevant to all countries which can be expressed in an equal manner in different languages. The results of the surveys provide a cross-national and cross-cultural perspective to individual national studies. As of 2009 there were 46 member countries.

In Greece, which just got bailed out, there are riots and its labor unions and state functionaries are still demanding that others pay for the early retirements, lifetime benefits and state pensions to which they feel entitled.

In America, however, the tea partiers are demanding less government growth, less public debt, and less bailouts.

The Pelosi Response

“It’s not really a grass-roots movement. It’s Astroturf by some of the wealthiest people in America to keep the focus on tax cuts for the rich”.

The Reid Response

Seemingly having nothing original to say, Mr. Reid held up a square of synthetic turf at a press conference last August, and declared that the town hall demonstrations were, “about as phony as this grass”.

The Charge Of The Liberal Brigade

The answer to the question, “What will happen as our increasing number of state employees confront a shrinking private-sector tax base?”.

Just look at the PIIGS.

Half a league, half a league,

Half a league onward,

All in the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

`Forward, the Light Brigade!
Charge for the guns!’ he said:

Into the valley of Death

Rode the six hundred.

From, The Charge of the Light Brigade by Alfred Lord Tennyson
