War on (Conservative) Women
Pat sends us a link from the New Hampshire Journal in regards to the announcement yesterday by Republican Marilinda Garcia (pictured above) that she intended to run for the 2d Congressional District seat, currently occupied by Democrat Anne Kuster. According to the article it only took minutes for Democrats to begin to demean her.
Within moments of her announcement, prominent Democratic State Rep. Peter Sullivan attacked Garcia on Twitter using sexist language and imagery. Sullivan compared the three-term State Representative, who holds a Master’s degree from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, to reality television celebrity Kim Kardashian. He went on to refer to her as “[Republican State Rep.] Al Baldasarro [sic] in stiletto heels” and “a lightweight.”
Yeah, I looked at Wiki and Ms. Garcia is a little more than a nothing like Kardashian;
While Garcia attended high school, she was a member of the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Repertory Orchestra and the Greater Boston Youth Symphony Senior Orchestra, as the Principal Harp. She attended Tufts University and the New England Conservatory of Music (NECM), earning joint bachelor’s degrees in 2006.
After graduating from Tufts and NECM, served as a court appointed special advocate for abused and neglected children. She also began teaching the harp at Gordon College, Phillips Exeter Academy, and St. Paul’s School as an adjunct professor in music. She also attended Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government, where she obtained her Masters degree in Public Policy in 2010.
Garcia was elected to the New Hampshire House in 2006, at the age of 23.
We hear about the Republicans’ “war on women” with no real evidence of any such war, but the way that the Democrats treat conservative women is absolutely disgusting. Ms. Garcia is obviously an accomplished and educated young woman and to reduce her to a pair of shoes and one of the media’s favorite tarts is completely unwarranted. I’ll just sit here and hold my breath while I wait for Democrats to justify this misogyny.

@#48, “Aren’t misinformation, rumor, and low depth of knowledge wonderful things?” Hey, Ex, if they didn’t have that, MSDNC would have to broadcast test patterns, Mike Malloy and Dan Savage wouldn’t have anything to say, and Obama would still be a failed community organizer.
Dem conservative women!
Also, dem legs….
@52, Obama still is a failed community organizer…..
@54, and if you’re patient enough, he’ll also be a failed president.
@34
Yeah, yeah, you hate Rush Limbaugh.
I challenge you to find anything he’s said that is as offensive as when Martin Bashir went on MSNBC and said that Sarah Palin should be held down while someone shits in Sarah Palin’s mouth and pisses in her mouth and eyes.
I know, you’ll jsut say he apologized, but I’m not stupid enough to believe a fake apology from a Democrat.
If you really want to know how far back this mysogynistic crap goes in the modern world, JFK had a press conference in which a female reporter asked him when he was going to do something for women.
His response was “I thought I already had.”
Or I can go back to the Hays code imposed on the motion picture industry in the 1930s about how women could only be portrayed in a certain way, ignoring the real world, and censorship was rife. Maybe I should go back to the Middle Ages. None of that was conservativism. It was just plain hatred of women.

I don’t care who you are that is some funny stuff
In my defense..I did email both Sullivan and Kuster this morning with a big “WTF?”
Ms. Garcia has 3 strikes against her, and therefore must be squashed like a bug:
1- intelligent and educated.
2- young and firm in her beliefs
3- conservative
I’ll add #4, you can call me a sexist pig if you wish. That’s one good looking lady. That alone scares the left.
@59
She’s also accomplished things on her own, rather than just being handed them. I think that’s what scares the Democrats the most.
@54, you’re right, I could have phrased that much better.
I think liberals are just jealous of the fact that conservative women are more attractive. We have women like this. They have women like Feinstein…
