I have read enough of GOP lifer to realize if the guy is a member of the GOP at all it is only in the spirit of Grima Wormtongue. He spouts much of the same nonsense as the majority of the liberal Democratic establishment, attempting to lure actual Republicans away from the core by perpetuating the standard lie the GOP is a party of white men dominated by racist, bigots, and homophobes doomed for extinction if they fail to become Democrats. Only on this occasion in order to make his point the GOP needs to be misogynist as well.
Does he know you often quote him here, stamp? Because if so I suspect Grima Wormtongue following the heart of Belle Boyd.
Given lifer is not a member of these forums (at least to my knowledge) I will still address a few of his...points...
Absolute drivel. This is a regurgitation of another liberal talking point, that Republican men lord themselves over their cowed and beaten into submission Republican women who only speak when told. This isn't erudite punditry on lifer's part, this is mindless sophistry.
Well God forbid Texas women take care of their children. I mean can you imagine a world, lifer, where women parents actually take care of their children? The horrors, the absolute horrors! How could anyone promote such a thing?
Seriously, the above quote reeks of the same elitist disdain prevalent when reading Sally Kohn, or when listening to Al Franken, Juan Williams, or Arianna Huffington, or watching Rachel Maddow. GOPlifer has far more in common with Air America than with actual America.
The point being made, lifer, is decent honorable people don't milk someone for all the money and support they can and then immediately dump them the instant they are no longer required. If you actually believe wholesome Texas women, and therefore by extension wholesome Republican women, do not believe in personal advancement then you are a bigger idiot than I give you credit for.
Again you have artfully missed the point. Decent people, people with a soul, do not pawn their children off on others without good reason. Wanting to pursue a career is not a good enough reason. That is why it sometimes takes true sacrifice in order to be a good parent, and it is obvious to anyone without an agenda to pursue Davis wasn't willing to sacrifice much of anything in order to be a good parent. Such a quaint and old fashioned notion, being a dedicated parent. Keep whispering in slimy terms how the GOP needs to turn away from that.
And now the lies and distortions come into play. Davis did not stand up to sexist bullies, she stood up to promote not only abortion but unfettered abortion on demand. As discussed prior to this post, she did so by employing the standard litany of additional lies and distortions the left always trots out when shouting their pro-abortion mantra. Being reminiscent of Maddow apparently wasn't enough, now you are evoking the spirit of Olbermann.
More idiotic sophistry. Being pro-life does not equate in any manner to the image you are trying to create.
Wendy Davis is a heartless opportunistic liar. That is what some women of Texas are responding to. I say some because there are of course many Texas women who support Davis. They are called liberals, and the GOP does not need to become like them in order to survive people like you.
Says the bigoted moralizer. Your constant pleas for the GOP to become the DNC in order to survive reminds me of this:
You, of course, are the Dentist.
Hmmm...Kennedy and Johnson initiated Vietnam, true Carter was scared of his own shadow, but Clinton ordered cruise missile strikes every time Monica went up the hill to testify, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were continued under Obama, not to mention a bit of fun in Libya. Yep, it only us.
OFT. As stated prior, this is the primary reason the liberal left is defending Davis so ardently. She is a pro-abortion darling.
