You have to hand it to the GOP. They've come a long way in dispelling the myth about women being more compassionate and reflective than their male counterparts. The party can now field a collection of female wardens out to prove that they can be just as mean and obtuse as their barely sentient male role models. Don't be fooled by the big hair and excessive makeup. These gals have the chops to govern their states like penal colonies. Well at least til the inmates catch on.   stanleybmanly 43 months ago

South Carolina ranks seventh in the country for men murdering women which is a very disturbing statistic and the Governor vetoes a bill funding abuse and rape prevention. inconvenient facts are facts none the less.   1TubeGuru 43 months ago

Oh, the rape and abuse victims are only a SMALL part of the population, so they are a distraction. A distraction? WTF?"That?s not to mention the fact that South Carolina ranks seventh in the country for number of women killed by men, and has had a rate of sexual violence higher than the national average since 1982. Nope. They are not worth the money it takes to help them. That is what she is actually saying.Jesus wept.   TurboB 43 months ago
