Hutchinson: GOP said ‘stupid’ things

Retiring Republican Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas is offering some advice to her party on her way out the door: “Stop trying to act like the woman is a throw-away.”

Appearing on CNN Thursday morning, Hutchison joined the second guessing after GOP losses in the presidential race and in other winnable contests, like Senate races in Missouri and Indiana.

Agreed, for a party that thinks the Democrats are overreaching the hypocrisy of bringing government into the bedroom is astounding.

As a registered republican, I am astounded, amazed, and ashamed by the archaic, anacronistic, and downright misogynistic views held by some in my party.  Stay the hell out of the abortion debate and recognize that gay rights are human rights.  No more no less.  Start with those table stakes and maybe we'll have a chance to get our economic message out. 

It's that simple.  Christie didn't lose the election for us.  We did.
