Mass. Democratic chair apologizes after accusing Scott Brown of trying to be ‘honorary girl’

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - The chairman of the Massachusetts Democratic Party today apologized for saying that Senator Scott Brown tried to portray himself as “an honorary girl” by folding laundry in a TV commercial targeting women voters.

“In the excitement of getting the convention underway and getting the message out about how important it is to re-elect President Obama and elect Elizabeth Warren, I made a statement about Scott Brown that I regret,” party Chairman John Walsh said in a statement this afternoon. “I apologize for that remark.”

So Mass. Dem Chairman is saying "Folding laundry is for girls" ?   Nice job Mr. Caveman.

Massachusetts Demomob party chairman Walsh is certainly a status symbol in his own right - a spectacular representation of a needed crash diet. And the downright sexist remark about a serving U.S. senator thaw Walsh says was "being fresh" is another example of the slimey low-class method the power structure in a one-party state thinks it can run tribal-claimants that try to start gender wars. Walsh was merely trying to crank up and start a Tin Lizzy.

 I have been doing my families laundry for years and have folded them after they are cleaned. I certainly do not considered myself an honoary girl. Many Chinese family from the early 1900s on had been in the laundry business and part of that is folding cloths. My grandfather and my father , who were in the business, certainly do not think of themselves as honoary girls. I am so glad I am no longer a member of this patherthic party run by corrupted politicians and idiots like Walsh.

Mr. Brown and Ms. Warren are locked in a fierce race that could be critical to party control of the Senate. Please keep in mind that, although Scott Brown claims he is bipartisan, he votes with his party most of the time --especially when the vote is close-- and that means support of the Republican platform and the 1%. even if Republicans are successful in painting Mr. Brown as an independent politician capable of representing the whole Bay State if reelected, he will cast the deciding vote to give to control of the Senate to a largely very conservative group of Republican senators.

 

Elizabeth Warren believes in putting people back to work especially in the public sector (firemen, policemen and teachers) and in rebuilding our crumbling infrastructure. Her opponent Senator Brown ran on a jobs platform, but he voted against three job bills that would have created 22,000 jobs in Massachusetts.

Elizabeth Warren can be considered one of the worst repesentatives a voter could choose for our state. Elizabeth Warren is a Washington insider (who will support Obama vote 100%) and that is the #1 reason the Democrats are delirious about getting this woman elected.

Ask yourself what happened to Senator Hillary Clinton's support among the Democrats in 2008???? Democrats only like women who they can control.

Quite revealing of Scott Brown as a politician is that he was seen in Tampa while at the Republican Convention having lunch with Karl Rove. IMO, Brown was getting some pointers from Rove on how to lie more effectively and to trash his opponent. 

 

Lunching with Karl Rove--now that is a Republican insider.

I'm voting for the Indian, however, Mr. Walsh is an idiot! Do these bloviating jerks in both parties have any filters placed between their brains and their mouths? Evidently, not.

Just desperation setting in
