Some gems from this “example to all” who apparently speaks for Pat Toomey, Jim Gerlach and, of course, Beth Hegedus:

“Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women” – Phyllis Schlafly

“Sex education classes are like in-home sales parties for abortions” – Phyllis Schlafly

“It’s very healthy for a young girl to be deterred from promiscuity by fear of contracting a painful, incurable disease, or cervical cancer, or sterility, or the likelihood of giving birth to a dead, blind, or brain-damaged baby (even 10 years later when she may be happily married).” – Phyllis Schlafly

“There is a strong correlation between belief in evolution and liberal views on government control, pornography, prayer in schools, abortion, gun control, economic freedom, and even animal rights.” – Phyllis Sclafly

…and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. It is incredible that anyone – let alone candidates for office – would want to be associated with this woman. If you look up the term “Batsh*t Crazy” in the dictionary, it is illustrated with a picture of Phyllis Schlafly.

And people like Schlafly are exactly why I am loath to associate myself with Republicans. I really hate being a small government supporter who sometimes has to coalition with people who actually push those kinds of ideas. It’s why women my age often want nothing to do with the conservative movement.

By the way, for those looking for a real “example to all”, try Supreme Court Justice-to-be Elena Kagan.

The Inquirer’s Editorial today ( http://www.philly.com/dailynews/opinion/20100630_Judicial_activist_par_excellence.html) encouraged her to practice judicial activism once she is seated and lambasted those Republicans who are trying to smear Kagan by insulting the legacy of Justice Thurgood Marshall.

Here’s a taste:

If confirmed, it’s unlikely that Elena Kagan is going to be free to exercise liberal activism anytime soon since she’d replace the retiring “liberal” Justice John Paul Stevens.

But as the nation faces new and complicated issues – of executive power in the so-called Age of Terror, of the reach of corporate money into the political process, to name just two – we should be so lucky to have a justice dedicated to protecting the people who go “unprotected by every other organ of government.”

Beth,
