And stay the hell out of the voting booth.
Yo yo yo…fix me a sammich too…
Kay O’Connor. The answer to the question: “Is there any gal more whacked in the head than Phyllis Schafley”?
Stop Dave, you’re scaring me!
That is so fucked up I can’t even get my brain around it.
The only conceivable explanation is she thinks that no woman in the world does (or should) care about anything but raising her rosebushes and dandling her snot-nosed progeny on her knee.
What gets me is that she votes, she has a high-profile job outside the home, and yet she spouts off about how women should be the homemakers and the “heart” of the family.
Uh…so, OK, why don’t you quit your high-paying job, then? I guess it’s easier to talk the talk than walk the walk.
I also don’t see how it follows that because women are supposed to be the “heart of the family” (whatever that means), they shouldn’t also have a voice in the democratic process. I guess that’s because I’m not an old-fashioned conservative lady.
That’s what I’m thinking. My reply to her would be, “Resign then, and get thee to the kitchen, posthaste!”
:rolleyes:
1 Cor. 14:34, “it is not permitted to females to babble.”
Why do these hypocritical she-dogs always forget that part?
I’m with GUIN and MSWHATSIT – Hypocrite much? Uh, women voting “tears the family apart” but you are a State Senator? As such, don’t you have to, y’know, vote ‘n’ stuff? Like, vote on every proposed bill that comes before the Senate? Old-fashioned conservative lady, my ass. I’m an old-fashioned conservative lady. She’s an hypocrite and an idiot. Probably headed up the “No Evolution In Kansas” movement, too.
[qupte]Furtado said she was shocked because as a state senator “she is the beneficiary of a system she doesn’t support.”

Exactly. I just… good God. I can’t get my head around it, either.
Qupte: verb. To screw up even the most basic coding.
it’s also in spanish, isn’t it?
:eek:
Okay, so she’s been an elected official for what…eight years?
What, pray tell, has her husband been doing all this time? Obviously not HIS job, or that poor, dear woman wouldn’t have had to get out there and enter a profession she oh so obviously loathes. Boy, it must really have sucked to be her, listening to her husband bitch while she moved from the House to the Senate.
Poor thing. My heart just bleeds for her.
NOT!!
Apparently Ms. O’Connor was surprised that her remarks caused such a reaction. :rolleyes:
This statement…
Priceless.
You’ve really got to wonder about the “thought” processes of some people.
“I don’t really think women should have to be burdened with having to vote…They should stay home and raise babies…Yet whenever I say things like that, even to other conservative Church Ladies, people either laugh at me or roll their eyes…I know!..I’ll get elected to the State Legislature…Make hilariously idiotic and jaw-droppingly hypocritical comments…And prove that women are too stupid for anything but being barefoot and pregnant!”
The only problem is, I wouldn’t want her anywhere near any innocent children. And I’m not too sure I’d trust anything she baked, either; anyone with mental processes that muddled might accidentally mix up the flour and the rat poison or something.
I like the she has melded the most annoying rhetoric from both extremes of the subject. “Women shoudn’t have rights, and its all men’s fault that they do.” Christ, we guys can’t win for losing, can we?
This sort of opens up a tangent thread. This taken with the NC State Representative who thought Americans had too much liberty, sort of emphasizes one of the major problems with State Legislatures generally. In an attempt to keep down the cost and to keep ”professional” politicians out of the State legislature, we have part time legislators. This effectively means that no one with any thing worth doing to do can be in the legislature. In my State the result is a legislature made up of retired farmers, insurance agents whose businesses run themselves and lawyers with no clients. You have to be prepared for those people to occasionally say something that is stunningly stupid.
I feel sorry for this woman. No, really. She can’t find personal fulfillment except in taking care of others. Except for the asinine comments she makes, she has no identity of her own. I find that pathetic.

Anybody got a copy of Backlash (Susan Faludi) handy? Mine is in my old bedroom at my parents’ house so I can’t find the names I want. Anyway, Kay O’Connor reminds me a lot of a couple of women profiled briefly in that book-- women in positions of power, with staff people and the potential for considerable influence, whose life work seemed to be to keep other women from such positions. People like that piss me off.
(I could kick myself, I was just visiting my family over the weekend and I could have brought the book back with me and had actual cites. It’s twice as frustrating because I saw something about O’Connor in their local paper, should have known it would come up on the board.)
Happily, I’m rather certain that women are not going to sacrifice their right to vote voluntarily (well, I’m not for sure), and I don’t think women’s suffrage is going to get overturned anytime soon.
Wow, I just wasted 30 seconds responding to someone whose comments do not merit a response.
"HEY Get yer Bitch Ass BACK in the kitchen and make me some PIE! Eric Cartman.
somehow it seemed appropriate. to bad she doesnt qualify for a darwin award.
