There is No Such Thing as a Republican Woman
Honey, there is no such thing as a Republican woman. There are Republican girls but once a girl becomes a woman, she becomes a Democrat.
This is the damn strangest story. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott is running for Governor of the Great State of Texas. The only problem is that Abbott ain’t all that fond of hooter toters. He wants to stand between women and their doctors, women and their God, women and their marriage choices, and women and their right to work for less money than men.
As you might suspect, this ain’t going over real big with Texas women. However, Texas girls don’t mind it much, so some of them are getting paid to form a PAC called “Red State Women.”
Greg Abbott did not support the Lilly Ledbetter Act for Texas. Do you wanna know why?
Here ya go.

Women do not want equal pay for equal work. Women are very busy so they want something practical, you know, like more jobs for less pay. Better we have two jobs that don’t pay the same as a man than one job that does. Because we’re busy. And practical. Freedom. Busy. Errrr … busy.
And this is the damn leader of the Red State Women PAC. The smartest one. She is being paid. Money. Not the same as a a man would be paid, of course, because she’s busy.
Look, somebody grab a dipstick and check her estrogen level. I think she’s about a quart low.
Thanks to Brian C for the heads up.
Women wouldn’t have to be as busy if they didn’t have to work so many jobs.
1Nope, that girl hasn’t been out in the real world, where women with education, even law degrees, earn less than men for the same job.
2Isn’t Abbott running for Governor, not Lt. Gov.?
3Is Abbot running for Lt. Gov? I thought he was running for governor.
4She’s a disgrace to everyone who has lady parts.
5Sorry, not enough coffee. I’ll fix it.
6I literally just read that same article over on Twitter just now and surfed over to the Salon to see if you had picked it up! If these comments from outer space by GOP women weren’t real, we Dems would have a hard time making them up!
7He asks the most obvious question on the issue and she’s not prepared for it. Next.
8She thinks that she can afford to go to college and raise a family and work full time for less or even the same pay as men? When’s she gonna sleep? I’d love to be practical and take a chance on Wendy and Leticia helping women get educations and fair pay.
9This sounds so much like a satire skit from SNL. If she is actually for real, forget the estrogen dipstick. Check for little grey cells.
10Abbott is paying a woman to say nice things about him? Poor Greg, if Cecilia won’t say anything nice about him for free.
11I dint watch the video but I can promise you that Pearland and Freeport and Lake Jackson churches are full of women who are so Republican that they would make Dick Cheney cry.
12Reminds me of a scene in the British sitcom “Yes, Minister” where the minister is asked a question on live TV and burbles out a collection of buzz words and “in the fullness of time” gibberish until he starts to run down and you can see from the nervous darting of his eyes that he has no clue what his next verb is supposed to be.
13Wendy Davis strikes back! She tweeted a great graphic this afternoon, saying in part:
“We are #NotTooBusy to fight for #EqualPay”

14I think that it is about time that we all remembered this zinger from “Yes Prime Minister”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8keZbZL2ero
15That was embarrassing.
16Wait. “Lily Ledbetter” is a law, that leads to a solution. WTF is Texas “girl” trying to say?
“Women want a more practical solution.” More practical than what? A law that says you can’t be paid less? Does that have anything to do with “busy”,”extremely busy,” “busy cycle right now…” or any of the other inane clueless partial sentences that came out of what I suppose is her mouth?
I don’t do Texas, but that is crazy, even for you’all.
17Sigh, @ marmer, a whole bunch of those Rethug broads (esp from Lake Jackson!) have retired to Franklin and are turning Robertson Co red 🙁 the ones I know are dratted “pro life” cathlicks…as opposed to poor working class (D) cathlicks
18Ok, I do think this chick should be paid less, a lot less, or maybe not paid at all. I don’t think she would notice!
19Aggieland liz, some of them may have moved to Franklin, but there are plenty left in Brazoria County. I can’t prove it, but from what I have observed there are some pretty big Baptist and Non-Denominational and Catholic and Assembly of God churches around there and pretty much if you’re in church and it’s not the Episcopal church, if you’re sitting by a lady she probably votes (R.) Like I’m always saying, the Pearland First Baptist bought space on a billboard to advertise a talk by Mike Huckabee.
20Republican voters do not elect all the RWNJs. The real problem, IMHO, is all the would-be Democratic voters who sit out the election. Register and vote. Every primary, every general, every year. Voting is not an every-four-years or even an every-two-years exercise. If you’re in a state that requires official photo ID for voting, help your friends-family-colleagues-associates, in any way you can. That might mean a ride, it might mean a small loan. What are YOU going to do to make it so?
21@ Reamus, I’m with you. How is a general goal like “make more jobs” more practical than an actual law that was passed and just needed to be signed?
