GOP women blast Perry over "whorehouse" comment [UPDATED] | Texas Politics | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

Republican Gov's Perry campaign chief called Sen. K. Bailey Hutchinson's campaign as "opening the doors of a whorehouse" !! Perry and Hutch are locked in a GOP primary battle for TexGovernator.

This is what Dave Carney, once Bush's White House Political Director,said "the Republican governor agrees the party should welcome new voters.' " But that doesn't mean you take your principles and throw them out the door and become a whorehouse .. "

WOW !! Looks like the Republicans think that if you think for yourself or do not walk and talk like Rush The Drug Addict Limbaugh syas and if you are a woman you must be a whore !!!

Question to Republicans "are all woman whores" or only those who do not agree with you ?

Texas Gov Perry wanted to secede from THE USA back in April and now his campaign manager has made him into the biggest whore-master in Texas !

Question to you: Why do you claim Dave Carney called women whores when it is obvious in the quotes you cite that he did no such thing?

I did not claim any such thing all that I did was quote him. I did ask Republicans a question and my question was based upon the quotes of CARNEY !!!

I agree that he probably was not suggesting women, or even this one woman, was a whore, this was still a politically stupid thing to say. Politicians really, really need to think before they speak, or at least use a teleprompter.

I stand corrected. You did not claim Dave Carney called women whores. You merely called women whores.

New question #1: why do you call women whores?

New question #2: why does your need to call women whores equate to a campaign smear by the Texas Governor?

Ever hear of a metaphor? I guess it's reaching to expect you to have heard of a hyperbole, huh?

It's only stupid if presumably enlightened people want to go all PC about the use of the word "whorehouse".

If a group abandons principles and curries favor with anyone and everyone, how are they not a whorehouse, metaphorically speaking?

Given that a group that abandons principles and curries favor with anyone and everyone would, in fact, be a whorehouse, metaphorically speaking, how exactly is Carney in error by what he said?

If the only presumed sin is his use of the word "whorehouse", then the significance of this non-issue drops to absolute zero.

Ummm he was saying don't throw your principals out the window to win an election.

How this has anything to do with "whores" is beyond me.

Why do you call yourself an independent? According to your posts so far you would appear to be a partisan Democrat.

It's politically stupid because it gives his opponents a sound bite they can spin against him, as we have already seen.

In this case, it's called a metapwhore. :mrgreen:

And around here, we call people who make comments like that...well, we call them amusing.

If this is how the Anti-Republicans spin soundbites, the Republicans can look to a very favorable 2010 election season.

This is very true, but anyone with a shred of common sense would understand what he said and meant. Using the word the way he did is not really any kind of a liability politically speaking. Of course this does not include political hacks. :lol:

Then worry. Because there were enough of those out there to elect Obama this past year.

I don't agree. I think Obama was the right man at the right time, for all the wrong reasons.

He was truly the lesser of two evils for those who vote only Democrat or Republican. Until 3rd party candidates are given some credibility by the main stream media, it will remain so until the US no longer exists.

In retrospect, I don't believe McCain would have been that bad of a choice.

4 more years of Bush? No thanks!

I voted 3rd party and felt good about my vote.

Do you really want to play this game? Do I really have to go and dig out endless examples of republicans spinning soundbites of democrats all out of meaning? Examples of conservatives spinning liberal soundbites out of shape? Hell, democrats spinning democrat and republican spinning republican soundbites? It is something politicians do, on all sides. I don't like it, you might not like it(you might since you have a predisposition towards insults over arguments), but it does happen, and to give those on the other side easy ammunition is politically stupid. It was stupid when then candidate Obama did it(clinging to our guns and bibles, though that one was stupid on multiple levels), it was stupid when Hillary Clinton did it, when McCain did it, when Huckabee did it...

I know it is hard, but try to look past your mindless insults and hyper-partisanship. You are not dumb, and can make some interesting points, it disappointing seeing you refusing to think past your own need to spin,

To reiterate: If this is how the Anti-Republicans spin soundbites, the Republicans can look forward to a very pleasant 2010 electoral season.

So far, the spin on this one has been weak, anemic, and distinctly amateurish. Which is surprising, actually, because the Anti-Republicans typically are better at the spin game than this.

Wait until there's a really outrageous bit of spin on something, then we can play the game.

Any measure of quality would have to be based on effect, which remains to be seen.
