Janis Lane is the Tea Party leader in Mississippi and she appears to long for the days when women were happy chattel. Lane had made headlines in complaining that women are inherently poorly suited to not just serve as bosses but to vote.
Lane explained that “Probably the biggest turn we ever made was when the women got the right to vote. Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting.” A former marketing director who now leads the party in Central Mississippi, Lane further observed that “There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person . . . I do not see that in men. The whole time I worked, I’d much rather have a male boss than a female boss. Double-minded, you never can trust them.”
Once again, it is remarkable how some of our radicalized citizens share striking similarity with our enemies like the Taliban who would agree wholeheartedly with Lane on her view of women.

Bron, Obama motivated his supporters. We had become a rather gloomy lot. Now we are headed to the phone banks.
Bron. We will see. All Obama needs is the number 271.

“It was ultimately a draw. The polls may stabilize — maybe a point or two movement to Obama if only because he showed some life.”
Democratic pollster Doug Schoen
“There will be more who would say, ‘No, I need to re-examine this thing.
I’m not so sure I want to just vote for President Obama again.'” she
explained, noting that the president acquitted himself better than in the first debate when he “totally tanked” but that he didn’t carry the night either.”

Ok, so did Chris Matthews and a host of other democrats.
I think it was pretty much a given that Obama was going to show a little life this time and also that liberal commentators were going to declare “victory” for their man.
The msm is doing as much as it can to float his boat. There is an 800 pound gorilla in the room, the high debt and the lackluster economy which is moving in the wrong direction.
Reagan took a terrible economy from Jimmy Carter and turned it around in 2-3 years and there was some debt but not this level. I even grant that Obama received a basket of pooh from GW but it could have been solved by now or moving in the right direction.
As I was listening to the debate I came away convinced that the problem with this country is a complete lack of understanding by the people of finance and economics. Not even a rudimentary understanding by the majority. Most treat the subjects as some kind of supernatural mystery only interpreted by elites. They think principles they use in their own lives dont apply to the country as a whole.
1. you cannot spend more than you make.
2. if you dont work chances are you are going to go hungry.
3. if you dont save for a rainy day chances are you are going to go hungry.
“Reagan took a terrible economy from Jimmy Carter and turned it around in 2-3 years and there was some debt but not this level.”
Bron,
You’ve got your facts wrong. Reagan incurred a $3 trillion national debt (in 1908’s money) and actually started the middle class on its downward slide, while rewarding companies who took jobs overseas. While cutting the tax rates to the wealthy, he implemented the greatest tax raise on the middle class is the 20th Century and called it saving social security. He created “trickle-down economics, which his own budget Director, David Stockman, called a sham. Ah but why bother you with the facts since your political preferences seem to run to washed up “B” level actors, in the throes of the onset of senility, puppeting for the Elite, to whose ranks you aspire.
As for Obama in the first debate his error was in understanding that the many racists who you would call allies, would have branded him as “uppity” if he was aggressive. In their eyes a Black man isn’t entitled to argue with a
White one. He made a mistake in not understanding that their were certain peoples’ minds that wouldn’t change despite the fact that his opponent is a proven liar and huckster.
Bron, Joe said Romney won the last one which he did. Obama showed up this time.
Smom:
“Even Joe Scarborough said that Obama clearly won.”
Now I know he lost, good ole Joe sucks up to just be on the air.
Rafflaw, your suggestion that Lane “add a veil” is interesting. I think if she added SEVEN VEILS she still couldn’t shake it up with ME. I’m getting a feeling for her future, and this makes her a little more interesting to me. She will not take her years well. She will feel a bit of power for ten, fifteen years, max. Then she will start to miss those feelings that were keeping her from realizing how inadequate she is. Unlike an aging man who was just like her but male, she will not have an automatic “society of like-minded cronies” to buffer with her and for her the slings and arrows of her outrageous fortune. I see real meanness and bitter rage coming. Her Tea Party “guys” won’t be cushioning her fall very effectively. I may be wrong; she may be worth a whole screenplay. That remains to be seen.
I wonder if she could ever win a local election.
Bullies should be careful with Obama. Remember who killed Bin Ladin. 👿
…….and perhaps Janis Lane was very unhappy that her man lost although she probable was delighted that Romney tried to bully that “pushy” female moderator. lol
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/scott-blakeman/romney-gives-new-meaning-_b_1972467.html Romney bullied a gay student in high school. He bullied his dog. He won the first debate by bullying. This time the moderator and Obama stood up to him.
Janis Lane is not too much of a mystery to me. I don’t care whether she can fairly be compared to the Taliban or not; she wanted the cameras on her and the printed words written about her and she wanted controversy and drama and she’s got it and I’m not gonna sweat about whether any particular part of it is fair.
Here’s how I would write Janis Lane (whom I would name “Cathy Kreugerman) if I were writing her as a character in a short story or one-act play (she wouldn’t GET a part in any full-length work I wrote):
She wants to be prettier and sexier than she is, but she does try hard.
She has always gotten much more appreciation from men than women — guess why and guess how!
She wants attention and admiration more than she wants real close working relationships with people anyway. Women don’t give her enough of that.
She has had some rough times at work and she felt undervalued and that got her really angry. She probably “went up against” a woman boss and bad-mouthed some female co-worker and lost on at least one round of an office intrigue.
She is manipulative but not terribly smart. She finds it easier to manipulate men than women. But she has never really been with a smart man so she isn’t able to even figure out how to manipulate that type of person. She wins approval from her man or her men by showing them how right they are about the qualities of OTHER WOMEN who, she assures them, are INFERIOR. (This puts her in a good position with the men because she is superior to those other, more inferior, women AND it shows those men that THEY are naturally SUPERIOR so they risk nothing in granting her wish to be “special” and better than other women.)
Enfin, I am not impressed. She does know how to pose for her little “Fly Me” picture, though, gotta admit…
http://www.businessinsider.com/obama-won-the-debate-2012-10 Obama went up on intrade.
Bron. Even Joe Scarborough said that Obama clearly won.
Smom:
we must have seen 2 different debates, Obama did Ok and so did Romney. If you are a partisan Obama supporter he won and so to for Romney.
The Prez didnt seal the deal. But at least he quit hiding behind Hillary’s skirt, or did he?
My guess would have to be a long, long, term case of penis envy. pretty obvious, IMHO.

Bullying the moderator did not work so well for him this time. Candy Crawley stood up to him, and she is being attacked for it by the right wing.
And who could leave out that old eugenicist Margret Sanger who never met a slav, a Jew, a black she didnt want to abort.
Talk about sociopaths, they are all over the history of the left. Throw in Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Beria and others and Ayn Rand’s pronouncements that you have a right to your own life, that life is a value, that people have a natural right to liberty and we see who the natural sociopaths really are.
Killing and totalitarianism on the one hand and natural right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness on the other hand. I know who the Hitlerian/Stalinesque/Maoists are and have been and I dont see anything even remotely similar to the writings of Rand in their world views and more importantly their actions.
But I understand why people on the left would not like her or her works, she certainly has nothing but the lowest form of contempt for many of their ideas.
Talk about ad hominem.
here is that old socialist George Bernard Shaw waxing poetic on socialist views. This isnt satire.
