Santorum: Women shouldn't be in front-line combat.

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

Just keep eliminating your supporters one-by-one, scumbag.

What percentage of women do we think Dems are going to win this year? 60%?

But Rick is too sensitive to be President.

Just ask Ron Paul.  

[Eraserhead]

Will this make it into a Romney MI ad? Or might the statement actually help Santorum there?

Too liberal maybe in some ways (unions), too off the right-end in others.

Re: Santorum: Women "too emotional" for front-line combat.

No, sorry.  That's not what he said.

inb4 the deluge of sexist and pseudoscientific bullsht.  I'm just going to stay out of this thread, because I know that there's going to be some posts that are going to make me vomit.

WOMEN ONLY VOTE FOR MEN WHO DEGRADE THEIR ABILITY TO DO ANYTHING THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE COOKING/CLEANING

[Marokai Backbeat]

I love that Republicans continue to apparently not care about women voters at all, despite them being a majority. Keep it up, GOP. We'll gladly take them.

[Mr. Morden]

To clarify, Santorum didn't say that women are too emotional for combat.  He said that having women in combat would lead to problems because of "emotions", but didn't elaborate.  When asked about it later, he said that the problem was actually men's emotions, and their instinct to protect women:

Okay, I'm posting...just one more time.

Men do not have an inborn instinct to protect women.  It's cultural, if anything.  And, with the level of brainwashing that occurs in military training, it's something that can easily be dealt with.

Unfortunately, a lot of women are brainwashed to support their own oppression.

[Vote UKIP!]

Unfortunately, a lot of women are brainwashed to support their own oppression.

That is perhaps one of the most demeaning comments about women I have ever heard.

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

Fine "certain emotions would cause trouble" = "too emotional" is how I interpret that.  Men and women have the same emotions.

Unfortunately, a lot of women are brainwashed to support their own oppression.

That is perhaps one of the most demeaning comments about women I have ever heard.

There were women who spit in the faces of suffragettes.  And there are people like Phyllis Schlafly, who thinks marital rape is a-okay, and then there's tards like this.

It's kind of hard to be demeaning to women when you're a radical feminist.

[Lincoln Republican]

I happen to agree that women should not be in combat roles.

[CaDan]

Santorum is right.

Also, little kids who have never served in the military, let alone a combat situation have no right to comment on this.

Uh huh, you speak from your vast military experience? Right?

Kthxbye.

[Free Palestine]

CaDan, Santorum never served in the military, so kindly shut your trap.

And...

1) The first part of my comment has nothing to do with the military.

2) I know people who have served in the military.  There's plenty of source material to attest to what I said.

But I'm going to stop there, lest I feed the troll.

BWHWHWHWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH!

"I know people"

Wow... Just wow.

I actually served in the military. You have no clue what you are talking about.

And there are people who served in the military who would disagree with you.  And as I said, Santorum has never served in the military, yet you're not kvetching about his comment because you agree with him.  So stop acting like your opinion is superior because of your experience.  It's not.

No it isn't.

As I said, there are plenty of people who have served in the military who disagree with you.  Just like how there are people who have served in the military who oppose war, or who think socialism is a good idea.  The fact that you've served in the military doesn't mean your opinion is the end all be all of this subject.

Call me unpatriotic, but I highly doubt this little troll ever served a day in his life.

Nah, I suspect he really is one of those arrogant right-wing olds.
