Don't think that old ideas can never come back and find its place in American politics again. Sexism was proven to be alive and well while Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was running for office and from what we've seen while she has been in office. Once again the National Republican Congressional Commitee has proven that the GOP has several members who continue to debase women and promote sexism in the United States. This time, they have attacked Speaker of the House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.
AP Reports:
She was taking issue with a National Republican Congressional Committee press release that accused her of backing down to liberals in her caucus who oppose Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal's recommendation for an escalation of troops in Afghanistan. Pelosi had been quoted as saying that voting for an escalation was a difficult choice for members of her caucus whose constituents oppose such action."If Nancy Pelosi's failed economic policies are any indicator of the effect she may have on Afghanistan, taxpayers can only hope McChrystal is able to put her in her place," the release said.
Clearly someone at the NRCC needs a few history lessons. This is unacceptable behavior and speech and should not be allowed in any house of Congress or government branch, period.
