Stanley Crouch: "Women Voters Will Punish Republicans For Their Crazy Statements About Women"

Asserts the moderate-liberal commentator in New York: "The advancement of women — from Hillary Clinton in Washington to Marissa Mayer in Silicon Valley — is ample proof of what can be done when this nation decides to put bigotry right where it belongs. Of course, we can never forget the existence of prejudice. It is a living thing, a clever disease, and it will remake itself to survive and fight the dishonorable battle on another day."

Mr. Crouch continues his commentary about next week's U.S. election: "That’s why, next Tuesday, radical Republicans will be surprised if they think American women will let them get away with what they have said and what they believe: about rape, contraception, equal pay. They can deny all they want, but it is all on the public record, the crazy statements of Todd Akin, Richard Mourdock and all the rest. Hiding behind their faith, these zealots have sought to take away the very rights women fought for throughout the long, hard decades of the 20th century. In this camp are also Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan — no matter how much they deny it. They intend to lead a party of the 19th century, or maybe even the 18th, but certainly not a modern, broad coalition. There is no room for that on the right."
