Mo GOP women accuse Dems of being sexist with the lipstick jokes
Susie Eckelcamp, vice chair of the Missouri Republican Party, participated in a conference call this afternoon — along with a regional spokeswoman for the McCain-Palin campaign and a spokesman for the Republican National Committee — to decry what they call “Barack Obama’s smears against Governor Sarah Palin.”
Their call was followed by a news conference at the GOP campaign office in Maryland Heights held by the Missouri Women for McCain Coalition.
Both activities were aimed at jabbing the Democrats over their repeated disparaging use of the word “lipstick.”
In particular, Eckelcamp and McCain spokeswoman Wendy Reimann (joined by RNC spokesman Chris Taylor) asserted that Obama’s comment Tuesday about “lipstick on a pig’‘ was “very offensive” and clearly aimed at GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin.
Eckelcamp said that the statement was also evidence of sexism.
Obama and his campaign say the context of his comment dealt with proposals of GOP presidential nominee John McCain, and were not aimed at Palin at all.
Taylor contended that the context — less than two weeks after Palin used her own “lipstick” joke in her convention speech — made clear the Obama’s comment was aimed at her.
He said the chuckles from Obama’s audience clearly indicated they saw a Palin link.
Taylor also criticized U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan’s “lipstick” moment at Tuesday’s event featuring Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden. Taylor said he doubted that Carnahan would have made such a comment if McCain’s running mate was Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, instead of Palin.
The trio was asked about the Youtube videos that show McCain using the same “lipstick on a pig” comment in reference to the healthcare proposal of then-Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton.
The Republicans say the context was different.
Here’s one of the videos:
Poor Susie, poor Wendy! A couple of hysterical, Republican twits with a penchant for hyperbole who should be better spending their time at home obeying their husbands.
We will see nothing but this kind of empty, shameless attacks from the right for the next 2 months. McCain’s own campaign manager already said “”this election is not about issues.” (Rich Davis, 9/2/08)
Palin needs to ditch the lipstick she is not a real women
As mayor of Wasilla, Sara Palin charged victims of rape for the forensic testing and collection of evidence, rape kit. She was Mayor of Wasilla from 1996 to 2002 and city council from 92-96 The troopers and most muni agencies covered the cost. Not the city of Wasilla, the police dept charged for the rape kit. Governor Tony Knowles an man put a stop to this in 2000. Sara appointed police Chief f Charlie Fannon he disagreed with the law. “The law will require the city and communities to come up with more funds to cover the costs of the forensic exams.” Take note the article says they charged insurance companies, so that left victim with co-payments assuming all had insurance and it wasn‘t a denied clime.

Recently she replaced the police commissioner with Chuck Kopp. He has a prior work record of sexual harassment that he was reprimanded for. Sara is obviously for abstinence only education, No abortion even in the case of rape, and incest Alaska is 1 in the country for rape and incest.
While its great she went back to work 3 days after having her child, what message does that send to bonding families, healing mothers and employers not happy with maternity leave. Sara has signed up with a man who has consistently voted against equal pay for women. Is she really a woman or is she a man trapped in a woman body with lipstick.
All I can say about the Republicans is this:
They can dish it out, but they can’t take it.
What a bunch of whiny ass titty babies they are!
Hey Jo-
It´s “Eckelkamp” not “Eckelkcamp”
Let’s try to remember what the President does:
1) foreign policy
2) appoints Federal Judges
all the other stuff you’re babbling about (taxes, health care, jobs) are NOT something any President can control - that’s the Congress. The Democrats are in charge of the Congress now - so ask them to fix taxes, health care and jobs - a Republican in the White House can’t do that.
EPT50….The Democrats need 60 votes to get closure in the senate (cut-off debate). Contribute to the DNC and we will gain a clear majority in the senate and the house.
Help elect Obama and he will lead the way to reform…
For crying out loud Susie Eckelcamp, give it up. Your (and other Republican reax) is as thin-skinned as a liberal. And I’m voting for McCain/Palin. Your reaction is an example why people have little confidence in party management, politics and government.
