so let me get this straight: Early this week Pelosi said a reporter questioning her ability to serve as minority leader is sexist.
BUT...... This same week when a fellow democrat ; Tammy Duckworth asked if because of her current medical condition of being 8 months pregnant and in a wheel chair if she could vote by proxy due to her doctor not wanting her to travel because of the late nature of her pregnancy. All the vote is for, is to elect caucus leadership.
This request was denied by Pelosi
If you are unfamiliar with Tammy Duckworth, she is also an Iraqi war veteran and lost both her legs while serving. I may not agree with her politics, but she deserves more then that from the party she represents.. If I were her, I would change affiliation.
oh, BTW this is the same democrat party who pressed for the passage of legislation to protect pregnant women in the workplace. In that legislation and I quote:
"The new guidelines from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission make clear that any form of workplace discrimination or harassment against pregnant workers by employers is a form of sex discrimination and illegal."
Pelosi is arguing that voting by proxy for caucus leadership is against the rules, and not allowed, and if they do it for one person then everyone will want to do it. But, several aids in anonymity have come out and said...that may be so, but the caucus is allowing three members whose Election Day races have not yet been called to be allowed to vote, as if they've won reelection already. But, here you have a woman, a decorated war veteran who is undergoing a high-risk pregnancy, and they can't suspend the rules," said one of the aides.
so can someone please tell me who exactly has the war on women?
Right on! What you showcase so well here is Liberal Progressive logic. They talk out of both sides of their month.
ReplyDeleteThey say you can't drink a 32 ounce drink but murdering a innocent child via abortion is just fine. They say you shouldn't have assault rifles or hi-cap magazines - but their body guard protect them with those very same weapons. The boast that the deficit has been cut when they simply didn't raise it by as much as originally planned. They want to improve the performance of a school so they redraw district lines to move successful students to the poor performing school rather than fix the problem to begin with.
Progressives are the poison that runs through arteries of this dying country.
I liken it all to liberal hollywood... for example Slyvestor Stallone. Comes out anti-gun, anti-second amendment. But what does he do in all his movies????
DeleteIt is all so hypocritcal....
He also has a concealed carry permit.
Deletedid not know that Matt.. that adds even more hypocrisy then.
DeleteProgressives are demonized.
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteGeesh, I do wish that woman (Pelosi) would just go away. She is a burr on my saddle.
ReplyDeleteShe is a burr in a lot of peoples saddles.. Another reason why we need term limits for these people.
