Kasich: Women 'Left Their Kitchens' For Me When I First Ran

FAIRFAX, VA - While reflecting back on the first time he ran for public office, Ohio Gov. John Kasich said that he received the support of "many women, who left their kitchens" to help him campaign.

"How did I get elected?" Kasich asked the crowd, recalling his first run for state senate in Ohio in 1976. "Nobody was--I didn't have anybody for me. We just got an army of people, who, and many women, who left their kitchens to go out and go door to door and to put yard signs up for me. All the way back, when--you know things were different."

Kasich made the comment while speaking to a large crowd at George Mason University during a day-long swing through the crucial March 1st state of Virginia.

Minutes later, a woman who identified herself as a nursing student at the university stood up and asked Kasich a question about his decision to sign a bill in Ohio Sunday that diverts funding from Planned Parenthood in the state.

others that weren't documented:

“I look at our friends in the Latino community as people that ought to be voting Republican. … They are great, caring, hardworking folks. And a lot of them do jobs that, that they’re willing to do.

“That’s why in the hotel you leave a little tip, you know?

“This lady wrote — at my hotel there, in L.A. — she wrote this note. She said, ‘I really want you to know that I care about your stay here.’ Isn’t that just, like, the greatest thing? ‘I really care about your stay,’ and she had, like a little tree — she drew a little artwork. That’s completely awesome.

“So, you know, we can learn a lot."

No. You know, since at his age he hasn't I really doubt it.

this stuff'll be worth its weight in gold. I once knew a bunch of conservative Hispanics in Los Angeles, poor things. And I mean it. They deserve so much better than slaps in the face from the GOP, and as usual they'll be hoping for someone they can support on the right, somehow....

And perhaps we will get to see it in a SNL skit.

Really i don't see what is wrong with this statement. I am sure it was true then and when Bill Clinton ran and when Obama ran. Men left the bars to go vote for McCain/Palin.

This statement:

"We just got an army of people, who, and many women, who left their kitchens to go out and go door to door and to put yard signs up for me. All the way back, when--you know things were different." "

Is ignorant, sexist - and stupid. Apply a similar statement to another race, a particular sexual orientation, a particular social status. It is one of those blanket statements that suggests that people of a certain type (in this case, gender) behave in a certain way. Let me exaggerate the statement then, to demonstrate it's stupidity...

"Those brave women! Barefoot and pregnant, they left their kitchens and their mighty male counterparts to come and vote for me! One of the very same assholes that gleefully encourages their oppression!"

The implications of the two statements are the same - one is obviously more extreme, but both were clearly ignorant. Did men leave bars to go vote for McCain and Palin? I don't know, I can't see myself having voted for them even if I was completely, overwhelmingly drunk, but I suppose some people did. Some people. Not some men. Not some women. Some people. Or, to make my own ignorant, blanket statement, "Some idiots, in this case".

The history of the oppression of women in this Country is also, in large part, what makes his statement so moronic. I don't know quite how to elaborate further...

And Kasich passes for "moderate" in today's GOP only because he is not obviously insane like the rest of the KKKlown KKKar.

While the other fuckers running are just crazy or acting crazy, Kasich is actually looking to continue and intensify the policies the Reich wing has been pushing since 1980.

Batshit Crank Magnet U, Funded By Kochs.

Libertarianism

Their public policy and economics departments employ a number of professors well-known for libertarian views, ranging from 'meh' to full-on crazy (again, with some climate denial mixed in for good measure). They're all part of the Mercatus Center, which is funded by Koch Industries. Persons associated with GMU, past and present include:

#James M. Buchanan, Nobel-winning economist known for developing public choice theory.
#Vernon Smith, Nobel-winning economist and libertarian known for developing experimental economics.
#Wendy Gramm, chair of Mercatus, wife of former Senator Phil Gramm; known for her role in the Enron scandal.
#Peter Boettke, prominent Austrian school economist.
#Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabarrok, economists who run the Marginal Revolution blog. By comparison, a moderate duo who try to eschew denialism and anti-science crankery.
#Arnold Kling and Bryan "Keynes = militant unions" Caplan, the proprietors of EconLog along with David Henderson (a notable climate denier, though not employed by GMU).
#Walter E. Williams, economist infamously known for filling in for El Rushbo on his radio show. He also promotes the Lost Cause of the South.

Funding

Why so many hacks and quacks? GMU gets boatloads of funding from ultra-rich libertarian and conservative donors, including the Koch brothers, Richard Mellon Scaife, and ExxonMobil. Charles Koch also sits on the boards of the Mercatus Center and the "Institute for Humane Studies."[1][2][3] We need to stress the comedy one more time — this is from a campus that is also desperately trying (like almost every single university in the country) to increase its taxpayer-funded endowment.[4]
