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, you hard-headed radical you, if you won’t listen to anyone here at least listen to Samuel L. Jackson, he’s talking to a wider audience than just Obama voters. Also, it has banned words. [BANNED WORDS ALERT!!!] One blocks Samuel L. Jackson at ones own peril 🙂
Swarthmore mom,
ER’s also don’t provide annual medical checkups, primary care doctors, and preventive care–but who needs all that, huh?
Bron,
That your sense of humor is radically deficient is not exactly a secret around here.
Sorry about that. That you took umbrage to the Funny or Die bit? I’m not sorry about that at all.
Whether it’s 26,000 or 45,000, it’s too many. (Only the strong, healthy and fit should survive, from the perspective of some, it would seem.)

WASHINGTON | Wed Jun 20, 2012 1:02pm EDT
(Reuters) – More than 26,000 working-age adults die prematurely in the United States each year because they lack health insurance, according to a study published ahead of a landmark U.S. Supreme Court ruling on President Barack Obama’s healthcare reform law.
This same group considered Romney the winner in the first debate though not by as big a margin as this one declaring Obama’s win.
SwM,
Th project being run by Amber Boydstun, Rebecca Glazier, Timothy Jurka, and Matthew Pietryka measuring college students reaction to the debates in real time showed 70% of students named Obama the winner, as compared to 22% for Governor Romney. (2,295 students took part in this debate)
The students thought Obama’s biggest dodge was on Libya while Romney’s was on gun control.
(Reuters) – Voters say that President Barack Obama performed better than Republican rival Mitt Romney by a substantial margin in their second debate, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Wednesday.
Forty-eight percent of registered voters gave the victory to Obama, while 33 percent say Romney prevailed in the Tuesday debate, the online poll found.
I’m older than any of you so I only ride turnip sleds.
Elaine, One thing Romney does not say is that ER’s don’t provide chemotherapy.
Malisha,
You don’t need health insurance. The next time you fall off a turnip truck and need medical attention–just go to the emergency room!

Romney: Uninsured have emergency rooms

In his interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes” that aired Sunday night, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney pointed to emergency rooms as a form of health care for people without insurance.
“Well, we do provide care for people who don’t have insurance,” Romney told interviewer Scott Pelley. “If someone has a heart attack, they don’t sit in their apartment and — and die. We pick them up in an ambulance, and take them to the hospital, and give them care. And different states have different ways of providing for that care.”
Elaine,
I have been happily married to a beautiful “old” white woman for 38 years! And she is actually younger than this old white man. 🙂
OS ,
I have to correct you. Romney has exempted tax deductions for the extreme wealthy. The tax credit used by fund managers which allows them to pay 15% is exempted in his so-called plan. Besides, he has changed this alleged plan almost daily since the primaries.
the Capital gain tax exemption that he mentioned for the middle class will do little to help their cause unless they have significant amounts in their savings or mutual funds. How much interest on CD’s these days? And he has also now suggested a cafeteria style deduction plan but can’t detail the amounts he would allow for deductions. The estate tax would not kick in unless you have a Five million dollar estate so I don’t see taking that away helping anyone except the wealthy.
Bron,
Here is one expert analysis of the thin on facts Romney tax plan:http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/08/01/620561/tpc-romney-study-taxes/
Here is an article discussing statements by Moody’s chief economist who was a McCain advisor stating that the math does not add up: http://thinkprogress.org/economy/2012/10/12/1004921/zandi-romney-tax-plan/
Now Bron..do I really have to produce the information that has been out there for days and weeks for you?
Elaine M, I actually did fall off the turnip truck once. What happened was that I was trying to hold on to one of the turnips (it was my DINNER for pity’s sake) and when the truck took a turn too fast it flew out and me with it. But I got up, dusted off my turnip, and kept on a truckin’ — and here come Mitt Romney hopin’ to make sure if it ever do happen again I don’t have no more medical coverage to patch me up afterwards, which really gripes my old decrepit a55.
Swarthmore mom,
Many of us “old, white females” didn’t just fall off the turnip truck.
Elaine, As you know older females are among the most vulnerable in this country. You get some real weirdos around here. I wonder if candy is related to dung ho.

It is amazing the support that Obama is getting from the old, white females.

Why is that amazing to you?
Otteray,
“Elaine, he said he did. Eliminate taxes on capital gains, investments, stock portfolios and estate taxes.”
Okay…Romney has half a plan. He hasn’t explained how he’ll raise revenue to pay for his tax cuts and hasn’t told voters which loopholes he’ll close.
Mike, Maybe you and your friends should have ridden in that mustang convertible and let his dad, who was in better financial shape to do so, pay for the gas. Oh the advantages of hindsight.
My brother had a classmate who was never bought a cigarette, but he smoked, and never bought a drink, but he drank. Every night this guy would put the equivalent of what others paid out for him in his “piggy bank”. At graduation he showed up with a car and bragged that his friends bought it for him. Sleeeeeaze
Mike, I had to pay a capital gains tax once. I bought a twin engine airplane and due to the fact many aircraft factories have shut down due to the economy, used airplanes have been increasing in value since so few new ones are being built. Manufacturers have been sued out of business due to liability issues, so the ones left have to pay exorbitant liability insurance on every airplane built. A few years go, I read the manufacturer’s insurance on a Beechcraft Bonanza is about $60,000 per airplane. As a result of market pressures, my airplane actually went up in value while I owned it. So I had to pay a tax on the eight thousand dollars it appreciated while I owned it. That’s it. No other capital gains taxes in my life.
It is amazing the support that Obama is getting from the old, white females.
