7. Of course they're not going after her policy positions.

Her policies are better than his! And, as usual, being ambitious is bad, bad, bad...if you're a woman, that is. If you're a man, then it means you're strong and willing. If you're female, it means that you abandon your children and use your husband's money to get ahead. For a woman, "ambitious" really means cold, uppity, workaholic, selfish, back-stabbing, ball-busting bitch. At least it does to the Texas GOP.

As for the divorce "scandal";19, 21, who really cares? She was separated from her first husband at 19 , and as everyone who's gone through a divorce in Texas knows, it can take awhile. Two of my close friends were divorced here; and it took one almost a year, while it took the other over two years. Both had separated from their husbands long before the divorces were finalized.

Screw the bastards who are calling her a bad mom and who are saying that being a 19 year-old single mom wasn't that bad. Motherhood is the single TOUGHEST job in the world! And I'm not even a mom! Her life was probably 10 times harder than their was, at least.

They really must be worried by her if this is the type of mud they're flinging. It's like they're throwing anything out there, just to find that sweet spot and see what sticks.

Well the sexist attacks are having the opposite effect on me. Not only am I voting for her, I think I'll do a little donation giving next month, too!
