for a cowardly turncoat Mikey Steal sure has enough guts to take on a little woman. isn't this behavior indicative of all GOP? they needed to slam Cindy Sheehan and Sonia Sotomayor all while opposing Lilly Ledbetter?

face,
Thank you for the thread.
Off context:
Steele wisecracked one at a citizen who complained about current health care system.
Throw in the context:
Disgusting. Now, that's a real self serving piece of shit unfit to be anywhere in a government for the people, thus, even less usefulness for the boy's masters.

I can't remember the exact percentage but by a big majority women are democrats. The GOP doesn't deserve our votes. I believe their callous disregard for millions of families without health care or who are underinsured is losing them even more women's votes this year. Fine by me.

Especially if that woman is also Black...
The 36 black delegates to the 2008 Republican National Convention in Minneapolis/St. Paul is the lowest total in 40 years for a Republican National Convention. These delegates represent 1.5 percent of the total number of delegates, substantially below the record setting 6.7 percent in 2004. (Editor?s note: The United States is 13% African American.)
Black women in attendance is rumored to be (The RNC won't say) about 12. Only four floor passes were issued to Blacks and one of those recipients said he had to threaten the RNC to get his.

The dems don't need a single republican vote to pass what ever healthcare reform bill they can come up with. If single payer doesn't pass, blame the dems.

The political tide continued to turn more conservative. In 1980 the Republican Party removed ERA support from its platform, and Ronald Reagan was elected president.

the way Steal just dismissed her is due to her gender. he would have certainly engaged a male who asked.

The GOP is disrespectful of women, IMO. Steele probably would have the same callous response to a male telling of his father's prostate cancer death, though. The exchange is a perfect example though of the complete lack of compassion the GOP has for Americans priced out of health care. That he berated the speaker for attention seeking was just salt on the wound he already inflicted. How typical.
