Think about seat belts. They didn't want seat belts to be required in cars. They don't want the EPA telling us how much toxic shit can be pumped into the environment. They don't think that people should be seen at a hospital if they don't have insurance. They want you to die. Especially if you are poor. But especially if you are a woman. Yup. They hate women. So much so that they are trying to get this country to deny women abortions even if they will save the life of the woman. They think women shouldn't be allowed to see their doctors. They think that women who are raped are probably asking for it...ok maybe I'm generalizing. Oh wait. I am. But if you look at the candidates and what the Republicans already in power are shilling for, they are voting for these bills. They are saying this shit, like saying that women are asking for it, or that they are sluts and are only raped because they are sluts. Or saying that rape doesn't exist altogether.
Did you know that in Australia it was not illegal to rape your wife until 1981, and that was just in New South Wales, the last place to make it illegal made it illegal in 1992. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marital_rape#20th_and_21st_century_criminalization)
I'm mad at all parties right now. This system is shit. It is a two party system and anyone who wants to even get into the ring gets shit when the bad guy wins. It wasn't Nader who got Bush elected. I don't care how many people want to think that bullshit is true. Bush was elected because most people in this country know nothing about politics. And actually, he wasn't elected. Either time. The first time it was rampant voter suppression and eventually came down to a ruling by the supreme court, which completely stepped over the democratic process and shoved a dictator onto our country. The amount of damage that man has done is amazing. But we let him do it. He was never impeached. Most people voted to go to war with Iraq and I never thought it was a good idea. Anyone who did was an idiot. If I can know that it's a terrible idea than why can't people who are closer to the situation know that? What the fuck was blinding them to this stupid bullshit idea? So he ruined the country. Stepped a bit above the usual bankruptcy that we have and now has made it really hard to become solvent again. The republicans spend and pretty much do everything that's the opposite of conserving (don't know why people still call them conservatives) and then the democrats clean up their mess, at least financially. I guess Bush didn't get the memo because he deregulated everything just a little too much so that the country went to the shit and now is going to deal with it for a lot longer than just two terms. So if a republican gets in power....well financially we are fucked. Because republicans know absolutely fuck all about finances. Look at the debt ceiling conversation they were having.
OK, I guess that got a little bit away from me there. Basically. Start voting like a fucking human! And next time you want to vote for a republican or a "conservative" democrat, remember a woman made you and women deserve more than being raped and killed. A lot more. In fact they deserve that never to happen to them legally. Ever!
