?Do Ann & Mitt Agree With Their Advisors & Think Women Who Express Sexuality Are "Alleycats" Or Not?
Mitt Romney either believes that women who claim gender discrimination are silly or he does not. He either believes that women who express their sexuality are alleycats, or he does not. And he either believes that it is acceptable for one of his campaigns top surrogates to offer to expose his genitals, or he does not. If the Obama campaign needs to disassociate himself from its non-advisor, than the least Romney can do is prove that he does not think women like Lilly Ledbetter are silly by abandoning his campaigns most sexist advisors and surrogates.

nlike Rosen, these anti-woman Romney supporters are
official advisors to Romneys campaign or top campaign surrogates that Romney has proudly shared a stage with:
Meet The Romney Campaigns Anti-Women Surrogates
Donald Trump: The flamboyant reality show star is a top Mitt Romney surrogate according to Politicos Mike Allen. Trump recorded robo-calls supporting Romney in primary states and he participated in a ton of talk radio for Romney in Michigan, Arizona and Ohio. Trump also has a long history of sexism, including telling the male contestants on his reality show to rate the women contestants on how sexually attractive they are. Calling TV personality Rosie ODonnell a big, fat pig and an animal, after she criticized Trump. And, just this month, offering to expose his very, very impressive penis to a top woman attorney. The top Romney surrogate, however, is also quite unfazed by criticism of his sexism. As he told Esquire in 1991, it doesnt really matter what the media write as long as youve got a young and beautiful piece of (expletive).
Bay Buchanan: Yesterday, in an attempt to overcome Romneys weak poll numbers with women voters, the Romney campaign hosted Bay Buchanan on a press call as an official campaign surrogate. Bay, the sister of disgraced former TV pundit Pat Buchanan, has a long history of opposition to womens rights. In a 2003 speech on the four failures of feminism, Bay Buchanan claimed that women are being sold a bill of goods when they pursue careers instead of having children, and she compared modern women to alleycats with respect to sex.
Robert Bork: Former judge and failed Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork is the co-chair of Romneys Judicial Advisory Committee. Bork opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans employment and other discrimination against women, calling the idea that laws can require private companies to cease discriminating a principle of unsurpassed ugliness. More recently, the top Romney legal advisor mocked the very idea that gender discrimination even exists. In Borks words,
t seems to me silly to say, Gee, theyre discriminated against and we need to do something about it. They arent discriminated against anymore.
