Mississippi Tea Party says women are too emotional and diabolical to vote

Janis Lane is the president of the Central Mississippi Tea Party, and she believes that women should not be allowed to vote because they are diabolical and emotional.

During an interview with the Jackson Free Press that was comprised of three tea party members including; Mark Mayfield, a real estate attorney, Kim Wade, a radio show host, and Janis Lane, the president of the Central Mississippi Tea Party.

It was during this conversation that the question of women's voting rights was raised and Lane had this to say:

Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting. There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person.

...who made it possible for HER to vote? My grandmother and her two sisters worked VERY hard to make that happen in 1920.

Ms. Lane should be terribly ashamed of herself.

She lives is MS and probably believes the country is full of TeaParTrash men just like in her local area. If they were the only ones allowed to vote, life would be sooooooo much better. She needs to stay home and never vote again. Lead by example and all that.

#Lane: Our country might have been better off if it was still just men voting. There is nothing worse than a bunch of mean, hateful women. They are diabolical in how than can skewer a person. I do not see that in men. The whole time I worked, I'd much rather have a male boss than a female boss. Double-minded, you never can trust them.
#Because women have the right to vote, I am active, because I want to make sure there is some sanity for women in the political world. It is up to the Christian rednecks and patriots to stand up for our country. Everyone has the right to vote now that's 18 or over (who is) a legal citizen, and every person that's 18 and over and a legal citizen should be active in local politics so they can make a change locally, make a change on the state level and make a change in Washington, D.C.
#God bless America."
wow.
