This Ain’t Gettin’ Any Better, Jim Bob
Ohio Republican State Senate Majority Leader Tom Patton has not come a long way, Baby.
He took to the electric radio and had this to say about his Republican primary opponent, who is a 30 year old mother of two.
“The gal that’s running against me is a 30-year-old, you know, mom, mother of two infants,” said Patton, a 62-year-old Republican from Strongsville, in a recent radio interview. “And I don’t know if anybody explained to her we’ve got to spend three nights a week in Columbus. So, how does that work out for you?”
Not to leave one damn doubt that he’s a pig and butthead, he also refers to her as “Sweetie” and “young gal” more than once.
She was mad, of course, and called it “insulting and discriminatory.”
Tom sobered up later on and said his sass “appears to have been misunderstood.”
Sure, Jim Bob, gal is such a misunderstood word.
You know, I get why Tom Patton is a Republican. I get that. I do.
I do not, however, understand why his opponent is a Republican. What self respecting hooter-toter would want to be a member of a party who thinks that’s how women should be treated?
And how do I know that’s what Republicans think?
This. This is how I know.
Yep. That’s how I know.
Thanks to Rick for the heads up.
I grieve for America when I read how stoooopid the R’s are.
1Yep, Ohio republicans—hating on women who get into politics since they got the vote.
2All you have to do is look at that picture of Patton and you know immediately he is a swill sucking swine of the lowest kind. He is an absolutely embarrassment to pigs everywhere!!
3I agree … I have no idea how any woman anywhere can be proud of being an R except too many of them are as swill sucking as their male counterparts!! UGH!!! Or maybe that should be “OINK”
Gosh and I had been taught that Neanderthals became extinct 40,000 years ago. Who knew at least one survived and lived as a snacilbupeR in Ohio?
4Patton isn’t against all mothers of young children having a job. He even supports day care funding because then they’ll stay off the welfare:
“But Rep. Thomas Patton, R-Strongsville, said that if working adults are forced back onto welfare because they can’t get day care for their kids, it will cost the state $400 a month per family.”
So, he supports and encourages young mothers to get out there and work, as long as “the gals” don’t want HIS job, or money from the state to buy food for their children.
5Hey, Micr–please don’t diss the Neanderthals. I had my DNA tested and found out I am about 3%. And I can guarantee none of those ancestors ever voted Republican.
6Needs to be some chlorine in that gene pool!!
7Oh, now, she just shouldn’t worry her pretty little head about all that complicated men’s stuff. And it’s probably gonna give her the vapors if she has to… you know… vote, and all that. She should just stay home and fix her man a nice pot roast.
Excuse me. I thought I could get through that without vomiting, but maybe not….
8I think republican women think they are the exceptions to all the misogyny republican men heap on women. I’m glad she’s a target, some people need first hand experience to learn empathy but then again some people never learn.
9It is such a relief that stupid can’t attain critical mass.
10Old Mayfly, we might be cousins, as an O-negative blood type, I have been encouraged to eat the “caveman” diet.
11That smug son-of-a-motherless goat! Apparently the three nights a week in Columbus isn’t working for him either, what with the obesity problem he’s got. Get that sumbish on a treadmill and make him sweat his “brains” out. No more livin’ off the fat of the land, Sir Pantsalot. The women will win.
12Sleaze du jour! Both of them!
13“I do not, however, understand why his opponent is a Republican. What self respecting hooter-toter would want to be a member of a party who thinks that’s how women should be treated?”
this has been a complete mystery to me since I first become politically aware, 40 years ago in the 70’s. perhaps a variation of “Stockholm Syndrome”, affecting women with low self-esteem, or those raised in brutal circumstances, taught to believe they were worthless of their own accord, only having value as a brood mare. or, they’re simply clinically insane. take your pick.
14cpinva, I think it’s the Stockholm Syndrome. Too many girls are still raised in families where the male is treated as superior in all areas except the house. The male is the goal to emulate.
That’s just skin crawly creepy, but it still exists. Heartbreaking, but I’ve seen it.
