CA Tea Party gov candidate Tim Donnelly video links Chappaquiddick, Jerry Brown

Source: San Francisco Chronicle

The campaign of California GOP gubernatorial candidate Tim Donnelly has released a new video slamming the idea of a GOP “War on Women” — and linking “Chappaquiddick” and Jerry Brown’s “early release of prisoners” as “criminal” examples of a real war on women.

Whoa.

The mention of the infamous site of the accident that killed Mary Jo Kopeche and haunted the political career of the late Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy for decades is just one of the aggressive moves in the video by Donnelly, California’s self-described “pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-Second Amendment, “Give me Liberty or Give Me death” conservative” candidate for governor.

Regardless of what you think of Kennedy and his response to the accident, how anyone can equate that with the "war on women" is beyond rational thought.

I cannot believe my tax dollars pay idiots like this but the minimum wage is 7 bucks an hour.

Birth control pills but the insurance companies are paying for Viagra. States are passing laws to force vaginal probes. Taking a woman's choice away to to choose abortion. The GOP voted against the Violence against women and now this idiot wants to bring up something which happened 50 years ago, The GOP fights against getting a better system passed to deal with raped in the military. BTW, these are just a few of the issues facing women and the GOP war on Women.
