Remember, Remember the 5th of November
Well, I guess Senator John McCain didn’t gather the significance of the libertarian “money bomb” on Monday. Senator Brownback had to drop out for a reason. Thousands of Republican males were angry at Brownback’s ties with feminist organizations and his support for anti-male laws like IMBRA, which force innocent men to be background checked in order to say hello to women, and the new clauses of VAWA that cause men to lose their homes and livelihoods to fake claims of abuse.
When you see a trend toward personal freedom hitting the Republican electorate like an ocean breeze, you don’t seek the support of those who want to clamp down on freedom, especially in the name of left wing feminist ideology.
McCain’s only chance is to immediately announce that he (and Brownback) have decided that Internet Regulation is a bad idea and that some of the laws they got passed recently were anti-male.
Otherwise, a campaign now at 15% in the polls will be dragged down to where Brownback’s support level was when he dropped out (1%).
The Republican base is mostly male.
Ask Ted Sporer, the Iowa blogger, if he agrees with what I just said. He told Sam Brownback in no uncertain terms that a Republican’s support for laws like IMBRA were anathema to the base.
Sam Brownback responded “I didn’t think it was such a big deal”.
Getting laws passed requiring background checks in order to say hello to women is “no big deal”?
