Re: Do republicans suppress women and use the bible to do so?

No, not all of them.

Do all liberals attack republicans for that?

Lets get this straight:

There are two main idealogies with a whole bunch of sub idealogies that I'm not gonna get into. That is Liberal and Conservative. All though Republicans have mostly conservatives supporting them and they support basically a conservative agenda, not everyone who is conservative is a republican. Similiarly, the Democrats are supported by mostly liberals who support a liberal agenda. But not all liberals are Democrats.

I see what you're doing now. Obviously the answer is no, but this poll is a straw man which I refuse to vote in. No one actually believes this.

Do you believe that liberals are all America-hating black-supremacist closet homosexuals?

I'm not using this to blame liberals for anything. I'm using it so that maybe the liberals who were saying these things will notice that they are way out of their parties margin.

Re: Do republicans suppress women and use the bible to do so?

I repeatedly try to suppress my wife nearly every day. To further my efforts, I often tell her to go read her Bible. I'm not sure what other GOP members do. Maybe they have more success than I.

Re: Do republicans suppress women and use the bible to do so?

Why use the bible when a police baton is quicker? All kidding aside, I don't think sexism is a party affiliation problem as much as an individual one. The polarizing point of this stems from the same problem as just about every generalization such as; Abortion = sexism, wealth = suppression of lower classes, environmentalists = tree hugging hippee potheads, etc. Most of the problem with using general strawman arguments to further an agenda is that they get diffused among supporters and turn into a mantra, this becomes a general belief, and next thing you know the opposition becomes a stereotype.

Not to mention...there isn't a man on the planet that could use the bible to suppress his wife, if she knew her stuff, considering the passage so OFTEN misquoted is " Wives submit to your husbands" HOWEVER, no one quotes the second part.... which is.... "Husbands love your wives, as Christ loved the church" Hmmmm how many who try to use the FIRST part of that passage to control their wives, would be willing to fully live up to the second part?

Nice try with the ridiculous poll though... I suggest a course in Bible Lit before you try to further your agenda. (Disclaimer- LA... this statement isn't meant for you.. it's for the poll author. Your's just happened to be the last post on the thread)

Re: Do republicans suppress women and use the bible to do so?

Wel IMO if men loved their wives like He loved the church then the wives would have no problem submitting to their husbands. However, c'mon republicans suppressing wives? Geees now I have heard it all.

A democrat can do this just as much as a republican can.
