Because "The Left" mistreated Willard Mitt R-Money I had to become A Nazi: A War on Women Tale

A Golden Vulture wearing A Yellow Vulture
"We want something for it. And I'll tell you what it is... We want you to post the videos on the internet!" - Deceased Anal Cyst Rush Limpballs demanded sex tapes of Sandra Fluke in 2012.   
“Fox is watched by the true believers. We need to get the independents and the women.” —Willard Mitt R-Money (2012) Romney would then famously bring forth binders full of women and 10 years later Romney does everything in his considerable power as a US Senator to bind those women.

Ah, the detritus of posts begun but not finished.  I started this Republican War on Women post in 2012 before the 2nd Obama Victory and it's dispiriting to see some of the same bad faith actors and same rightwing bullshit still center stage.  Although fortunately, Racist Limbaugh is dead. 

So, apparently a lot of Right-wingers are claiming "The Lefts" mistreatment of poor, poor Mitt R-Money forced them to become full-throated Fascists supporting Donald John Traitor Trump.  Here is rightwing psycho Bethany S. Mandel declaration.

This Mandel made her social media fame by declaring her son almost died from inhaling his own CO2 and boogers during Covid and then repeatedly lying about mask mandates and Covid, like many rightwing propagandists.

And, of course, like all things conservatives say Mandel's claim is dripping with disingenuous rationales and lies.  Romney is a liar.  Romney was an out-of-touch elitist.  Romney was a chickenhawk warmonger during Vietnam.  Romney is a vulture capitalist swindling pensions from retirees.  Romney was a High School bully who held a boy down and forcibly cut off his hair. 

I know it's fashionable to speak of Senator Mitt Romney, as though he is an ally now, and yes he did vote for Supreme Court Justice Kentaji Brown-Jackson, the only male Republican Senator to do so, but despite facing imminent bodily harm on January 6th from Republican inspired Insurrection and the Conservative domestic terrorists who invaded the U.S. Capitol, Romney's core convictions about America, how the Rich should Rule, and the Republicans role in ensuring a Evangelical Plutocracy haven't changed. 

Recall in 2012, while Mitt Romney was gleefully dancing on the still warm bodies in Benghazi, his poor little rich girl wife had been passed the torch from Sarah Palin, as the exemplar for American women to aspire.  (Conservatives would do this again with smelly GRU recruited Slovak hooker Melania Trump in 2016)  One of the ways Republicans use to Bind Women is to tell them to curtail their personal ambitions and experience Advancement and Power vicariously through one or a few Avatars;  Rightwing White Women whom the rest can look up to and support, while never challenging the subservient role of women in the Rightwing Universe 

Sarah Palin is back (as always these rightwing thieves and criminals never leave) running for the now open Congressional seat in Alaska and no doubt feeling robbed of the limelight and lucrative grift which Lady Republicans like Boebert and Greene enjoy these days.

Anyway, Mitt Romney "supported" Ann's choice to stay at home and raise the children (because Mitt was actively engaged in pilfering millions in dollars from pensions and stealing money through Hedge Fund takeovers ).  But, Republicans viscerally fucking hate the poor (as evidenced by the Rightwing Reaction to the Biden Student Debt Loan Forgiveness) and Mitt's comments during his Presidential Run on working women highlight this; "I wanted to increase the work requirement. I said, for instance, that even if you have a child 2 years of age, you need to go to work. And people said, ‘Well that’s heartless.’ And I said, ‘No, no, but I want the [women] individuals to have the dignity of work.’”

Ann Romney gleefully supported Mitt's demand that Poor Women know their place and go to work while she luxuriated around TV interviews in her yellow bird $1000 dollar shirt,
"I love the fact that there are women out there who don’t have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids." 
Ann Romney also wanted to ensure those women didn't get any uppity ideas of not having to marry by being financially independent, "Why should women be paid the same as men?" 

Of course, the Corporate Media couldn't be bothered with how the Romney's made their money (and it wasn't roll up your sleeves hard work) but, it took the work of Mother Jones to reveal The Romney's were Vulture Capitalists who preyed upon the poor and then shit on half the US population in the infamous 47% video.  

But, let's be clear what's happening.  For decades Conservative have been flooding everything in America with bullshit, lies, and propaganda.  Their rightwing drones know nothing else.  So, conservatives are now whiny weaklings who are forever complaining about made up grievances and blaming Democrats and The Left for everything.  Conservatives invent things to be angry about so they can exist full-time in their Universe of made up grievances.  Hence the Mitt Romney retconning.

However, rightwingers are no longer satiated with rhetorical clubbing of The Left.  Conservatives want violence.  Conservatives want an unequal United States.  A United States of their Fathers'.  A White Patriarchy with clearly defined second and third class citizens who know their place, stay in the closet, while power and wealth accumulates at the top with minute amounts trickling-down to those lessers who should be grateful for the scraps thrown their way.  A White Nationalist State.

That's what this retconning of the Right's turn towards full-on fascism and violence is...

Paul Ryan doesn't want to be Speaker of the House because it'll cut into his Gym Time

P90X Ryan is known in Washington D.C. for to things; his fanatical weight lifting sessions and wanting to steal Social Security and Medicare in order to kill Old Americans.

With John Boenher's crisis of faith and decision to step aside as Speaker of the House, the Republican  Congress has imploded. No one in the House has the 100% undiluted, Conservative blood of pure evil necessary to satisfy the Right-Wing fanatics who have gerrymandered their way into the People's House.

Ryan's Reverse-Robin Hood Budget shenanigans are legendary and lauded by Republicans in their ceaseless effort to swindle the Middle Class and transfer more wealth up to the 1%. Yet, Paul Ryan is too liberal for the Tea Bagging euphemistically titled Freedom Caucus. Even Phyliss Schflay emerged from her crypt to decry Ryan's possible Speakership.

The only one who approaches the necessary 100% purity of bile and rancor required to be the Perfect Conservative is Dick Cheney, who pure evil was only slightly diluted by the introduction of a stolen transplant heart.

So, the Republicans are going to flail away for awhile and the Beltway Press and Media will continue to ask inane questions like; How did this happen? and Aren't the Democrats to blame because, ya know, Both Sides Do It? as they pin away from the Ghost of Undead Zombie Reagan to emerge from the recesses of their imaginations and Lead.

Republicans War on Women is part of a Larger Whole

"I’m sorry, but to show the world how ruthless these people are, women needed to be the first ones shot." - Richard Mack, former Arizona Sheriff and Founder of the Domestic Terrorist Organization the Consititutional Sheriffs, bravely putting is women and children out in front of himself during the Nevada Right-Wing Uprising.
The All-Out Assault on Women by Right-Wingers is part of a larger whole; the Conservative effort to abolish a Government by the People and for the People. Republicans and Conservatives want a Government for the Plutocracy. As such, Republicans have declared War on 99% of Americans with the goal of creating a Neo-Feudal Nation, where the Right-Wing Values of Oppression, Intolerance and Adulation of the Rich are enshrined.

Republicans are in office to impoverish the 99%, ensure further Income Inequality, and transfer Wealth and Control of this Nation to the Rich.

The last month has seen a deluge of Republican efforts at keeping women second-class citizens. The amount of despicable crud emanating from Republicans is almost too much to recount. However, here are few highlights.

Phyliss Schflay has been fighting against women for 40 years. As a living fossil, her occasional Eagle Forum op-ed is picked up by Right-Wing sites. Schflay's latest is the ridiculous assertion that women should strive to earn less in order to attract a man who earns more.
Another fact is the influence of hypergamy, which means that women typically choose a mate (husband or boyfriend) who earns more than she does. Men don’t have the same preference for a higher-earning mate. 
While women prefer to HAVE a higher-earning partner, men generally prefer to BE the higher-earning partner in a relationship. This simple but profound difference between the sexes has powerful consequences for the so-called pay gap. 
Suppose the pay gap between men and women were magically eliminated. If that happened, simple arithmetic suggests that half of women would be unable to find what they regard as a suitable mate. 
Obviously, I’m not saying women won’t date or marry a lower-earning men, only that they probably prefer not to. If a higher-earning man is not available, many women are more likely not to marry at all. 
The best way to improve economic prospects for women is to improve job prospects for the men in their lives, even if that means increasing the so-called pay gap.
This is just stupid as well as being sexist. Perhaps, Phyliss enjoyed not working a regular job because the family she married into had money and she could focus on dominating Ronald Reagan, crushing the Women's Libber Movement and defeating the ERA but, my grandfather always told me it was just as easy to love a woman with money as it was a woman without.

Of course, an ideological generation of women have sprung up to plague us, cut from Schflay's Bosom.

Over at Faux Business, blondish Spokesmodel Melissa Francis told Alan Colmes and the other blondish Faux Spokesmodel that while the gender-wage gap doesn't exist, the gender wage gap was the reason more women kept their jobs during the Republican Recession,
I would also point out that men lost jobs at two and a half times the rate as women in this last recession. I know plenty of families where the man is now out of work and the woman is the one who's working full time. Probably because she makes a little less, so she was able to keep her job.
In the United States Senate, every Republican voted against the Paycheck Fairness Act defeating it's passage. But, one might note the Republicans are a minority in the US Senate holding just 44 seats out of 100. Fortunately, those 44 Republican Bureaucrats have long ago turned the US Congress into the Polish Sejm of the 18th century, where the objections of merely one Republican is enough to derail the legislative process.

Of course, debate is the natural enemy of Republicans because it forces them to actually say what they believe and what Republicans believe is American Workers should be earning less money with fewer benefits while receiving no assistance from Government.

However, should a Republican be forced to verbalize their odious principles it is especially, pleasing to Republicans and their Masters are when they trot out one of their Right-Wing Stepford Women to mouth their ideology.

CongressMAN Marsha Blackburn (caught by Steve M. over at No More Mister Nice Blog), took umbrage... UMBRAGE! I Say! with the idea of the Republican War on Women,
"I find this war on women rhetoric almost silly,” Congressman Blackburn insisted. “It is Republicans that have led the fight for women’s equality. Go back through history! And look at who was the first woman to vote, to get elected to office, to go to Congress, four out of five governors. We're all for Equal Pay!" 
Marsha, Marsha, Marsha then blamed Obamacare! Blackburn's silliness is part and parcel of the Republican belief in sympathetic magic, Saying So makes it So.

One of the ways Republicans claim to support women is by trotting out token women like Marsha Blackburn.

American Women are expected to see the "success" of a Blackburn, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann or any right-wing woman and experience vicarious feelings of accomplishment through these vessels.

Afterwards, the woman should subsume her desire to succeed and support the flabby, overweight, white male Republican Party

But, speaking of women Republican Governors and getting back to the Larger Whole, Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma signed a bill prohibiting cities in Oklahoma from raising the minimum wage or establishing paid vacation days or sick days. 

This shows, of course, how Republican love using the awesome power of government to crush women and the working class and puts paid to the lie that Republicans believe in small government or local control. 

Equal Pay for Equal Work should be a goal of everyone in this Nation, a Nation of supposed Equality under Law. But, the 1% don't want Equality they want Total Domination.

Keeping women's pay and benefits down is just a part of the larger whole. The Owners of the Republican Party have tasked them to crush the Working Class and eliminate the Middle Class. Thus every Republican will always vote against anything which aids women or the 99%.

The Capitalist Job Creators see the American Worker as an unnecessary expense. With the aid of Neoliberal Economics, Job Creators have off-shored jobs, insourced illegal immigrants, stolen pensions, lowered wages, slashed benefits, and rigged the tax code to undermine and crush Workers.

All of the blather is just window dressing, Job Creators would love to create jobs in the United States. It's just they want to create jobs which pay you a nickel an hour with no lunch or bathroom breaks and zero benefits. Those are the kind of jobs the Republicans can get behind.

Until then the Republican Assault on Women as a branch of the Republican War on 99% of America shall continue.

Rape-publicans it's always on their Mind

Rape is always on the minds of Republicans. From when they first wake up in the morning to the time they close their eyes at night, Republicans are thinking about Rape.

Rape. Rape. Rape.

Republicans love Rape.

Indiana Republican Senate Candidate Richard "Howling Mad" Mourdock decided to instruct Women that being Raped is God's Will;
“I’ve struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God. And even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen.”
Lay back and enjoy it, honey. Rape is all part of God's Plan. Deus Vult!

Legitimate Rape. Forcible Rape. Real Rape. Honest Rape. Transvaginal Ultrasounds. Hold the aspirin between your knees.

Of course, the reason Republican men always have Rape on their minds is without being able to rape people Republican men would never have sex. This is why Republican men support blue Boner pills but are against contraceptives. But, this isn't limited to stodgy old Republicans, so-called Libertarians and conservative women think about Rape and punishing rape victims all day long as well.

St. Louis Tea Party "Darling" Dana Loesch stated that women who have sex are giving tacit consent to have Government conduct Transvaginal Ultrasounds at their lesiure. Liz Trotta of Faux News said Women who sign up for the Military are giving male service members consent to rape them. Phyllis Schlafly, the Grand Dame of the Patriarchy has stood staunchly behind Missouri Republican Senate Candidate Todd Akin.


And Todd Akin turns out to be very similar to the Ultra-Reactionary violent abortion clinic bombers and Doctor murderers. Todd Akin was arrested several times in the 1980's for criminal acts at anti-abortion rallies. The question is how many times did Todd Akin plan to firebomb and kill people who worked at abortion clincs?

Rape and controlling women's access to sex is a key plank of the Republicans Plan of Oppression and Subjugation of America.


Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan stand behind the Blunt Amendment to allow Employers deny Women Birth Control because of "moral objection". Paul 90X Ryan and the criminal Todd Akin crafted 38  anti-abortion bills.

The Republican Battle to deny women access to Birth Control, to force women to submit themselves to Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell's Rape Wands, to make abortions impossible by legislating the number of air molecules allowable in abortion clinics, to defund Planned Parenthood and finally to encourage conservatives murder abortion doctors is all designed with bringing women to heel.

The Rape-publicans. It's an appropriate term for the everything associated with the Republican Party.
