Vance said "cat lady" comment was about Democrats being

[Tiny]

Vance said "cat lady" comment was about Democrats being anti family and anti child.   

And I went "say what?"...  Democrats anti family??   aren't they trying to provide breakfast/lunch to grade school kids (and preschool kids)??  Aren't they about banning guns and not books?  Aren't they about providing some sort of healthcare (medicaid) even if it's not perfect to families?  Isn't that what public schools are for - to educate ALL of America's children (not just the one's whose families can pay for them to be educated??)     


Doing a google didn't bring up much but I did find this: 

an Opinion piece from Tommy Tuberville: 

www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/opinion/2021/11/29/president-biden-offers-anti-family-agenda/8802184002/

What do you all think Mr. Tuberville is saying?   Senator Tommy Tuberville represents Alabama.

But as Democrats continue to push their vision of a cradle-to-grave entitlement society where the government is now a part of your family, the American dream shrinks. And as the American dream shrinks, the American family feels the pressure.

Threats to the American family are knocking on the front doors of homes across the nation as the Left becomes focused on telling the American people what they want, rather than listening to what they need. Parents need safe neighborhoods to raise children, gainful employment to support their families, and an education system that provides sons and daughters with the opportunity for success. What they are getting is another page out of the Democrats’ same, tired playbook with more mandates, excessive regulations, increased subsidies, and higher taxes.



The most recent instance of this is Democrats’ trillion-dollar tax-and-spend spree, a socialist wish list that sets the stage for a Washington takeover of child care and education by shifting power from parents to bureaucrats.

Take their federal child-care program, which is structured to care less about the child and more about helping certain families — the ones with the structure that Democrats deem as favorable. For example, a single mother earning below a certain threshold would receive free child care, no matter how much the father earns. But if the two parents were married, earning the same percentage level, they’d have to pay thousands for the same child care. This radical policy disincentivizes marriage and makes child care more expensive for the average American household right in the middle of record inflation.

Even worse, their plan gives government bureaucrats greater control over the first five years of a child’s life, sidelining parents’ role in early-childhood curricula and standards. Strong families are the foundation of strong communities, and we should be promoting policies that support American families, not policies that push parents apart.

Not only is the American family under fire with the growth of government welfare programs, but once–bipartisan initiatives — such as the Child Tax Credit — have been reworked and weaponized to fit Democrats’ anti-family agenda. The Child Tax Credit was originally created to give working moms and dads a hand up, taking a weight off the parents’ backs and providing a pathway to be employed and also raise a family. Now, Democrats have swapped what was a hand up for a handout by gutting work requirements and creating a “direct deposit” style monthly allowance.

To offset new costs, the benefits for single filers have increased while those for low-income married couples have decreased. A single individual making around $20,000 per year would receive more benefits than a couple filing jointly with a combined salary of $30,000 per year. This is called the marriage penalty, and true to its name, it stacks the deck against the low-income families the Child Tax Credit was designed to help. Additionally, up to 1.5 million jobs could be lost because of the false choice presented by Democrats as parents opt to stay home rather than returning to the workforce. Cheering on working parents shouldn’t be a partisan issue, but when it is, our nation suffers.

I don't know how to interpret this opinion piece.   It seems like Tuberville is trying to get families who are NOT living at or below the poverty level to vote to cut off government money to the people and families who are.  The families and children who NEED the help.      

The Google AI says:   In 2022, 16.2% of Alabama's population lived below the poverty line, which is higher than the national average. This means that their income for the previous year was below the national poverty level, which ranges from $13,171 for a single person to $26,496 for a family of four.

I did a little digging of poverty by county - and low and behold the counties with the highest levels of poverty in Alabama are primarily non-white. 

Black single mothers had a nearly 50-50 chance of being poor, white single mothers a 1 in 6 chance, and black couples, a 1 in 10 chance. In 2019, 13.7 percent of Alabama's white residents were poor, 31.2 percent of its African American residents were poor, and 33.6 percent of its Hispanic residents were poor.

Yuck. Now I'm feeling disgusted.

it is about Democrats being pro-choice.

it is about him being "life of the baby even if it kills the mom".

that is what it is about.

I'd rather be a cat lady than the wife of a man like Vance.

And once the baby is saved, being OK with it dying after birth.

Democrats are both pro family and pro human beings. We do not need families to look or be a certain way in order to support them. That's how we earn our white hats.

[happyhoix]

I think it’s about keeping hold of power.

Grab onto the ‘anti-abortion’ thing, talk about how you love every baby, get the evangelicals on board, so you can get enough votes to stay in power, keep the taxes low and the tax loopholes open for the wealthy, and save money by shrinking Medicare, SS and food stamps.

i have heard that little bit of insanity more than once from the right.
most recently from Trump.

I can conclude only one thing: Vance hates nuns and Dolly Parton.

Someone put me in touch with Harris marketing team I feel like I just made a campaign ad here.

The statement was from 2021, apparently before Buttigieg successful adoption.

Buttigieg also hit back against Vance's comments, saying in a CNN interview that Vance should not speak about other people's children.

"The really sad thing is he said that after Chasten and I had been through a fairly heartbreaking setback in our adoption journey," Buttigieg said. "He couldn't have known that, ... link

With reasonable confidence going to say Vance is probably not the type to support gay marriage or adoption.

We all know the only babies that count are birthed by white heterosexual Christian Trad wives.

Which makes him a hypocrite because his wife is Hindu but that isn't a surprise anymore.

If that is true he has no children either as his wife is not caucasian. Oh, and the MAGA guy? He prefers foreign made over "made in the USA" wives with two out of three imported. Weird huh 

Mind you, I really don't care who they are married to but the inconsistencies in their lives v. their words  are kind of glaring. The old do as I say not as I do...

But he said that even though she isn't white, she's a good mom. 

and even though he thinks women belong in the kitchen, she's a big law partner who he met a Yale Law School.

So normal women belong in the kitchen and any smarter than you can have a career? He's a trump clone.

Because there are ancillary benefits to having your husband taken under the wing of a billionaire or two?

[movingforward]

Vance says exactly what a man wanting to return to 1955 WOULD say. Harris's campaign regarding moving forward and not backwards is right on target.

I love being a childless cat lady, and Vance can go f**k himself.

ETA: Seriously, I am not even sure how the GOP has allowed this to happen AGAIN. How is Trump still their man. It's beyond crazy. They all seem so anxious to claim they are not racist, sexist, hypocritical bigots but they keep managing to nominate the biggest ass hats on the planet.

[pulmonarymd]

Because they are a bunch of pussies. They are too cowardly to stand up to the bully, and would prefer crumbs to being voted out. They could have avoided this if they convicted him over January 6, but they were too scared to confront Trump, hence here we are

Did he seriously?

How self serving are you and how much Kool aid did you consume that you to let your husband say something like that and not vaporize him on the spot?

[thyme4change]

Kamala’s kids call he Mamala - and that makes me so ridiculously happy.
