Sen. Patty Murray: More Women In Congress Could Get Debt Deal Done


Senator Patty Murray on the failed supercommittee — and why she thinks the debt crisis could have been helped if more women were in Congress: “We need diversity in the Senate, and we need people who come to the job who really want to make a difference for their country. And when I look out across the country, I see women who understand that… You want the practical answer to why we would get things done? Because we are multi-taskers: We have to pick up the kids and get dinner and, you know, help with the homework and get things done, and we don’t mess around. And so we come into politics the same way: We have a task, it’s hard, but we make decisions, and we get things done.”

Murray, who was quoted by the Tri-City Herald, has worked to recruit female senate candidates in several states.

    “We have to pick up the kids and get dinner and, you know, help with the homework and get things done,”

    While you are doing that other people are staying late at work, getting the job done. Sen Murray is sexist.

    Well you don’t have to go die in the middle east so start in on that and then come back and ask for the rewards, not the other way around. Thanks. Call me from some trench in the middle of nowhere while you “get things done” manly responsible/duty-style.

    If a male held those kinds of views and made those kinds of remarks his career would be finished and he’d be run out of town on a rail.

    It would appear that Senator Patty Murray wants more women in government.  Does this mean she is supporting Michele Bachmann for President?

    Maybe she can bark up the Koch Brothers tree again for more money to recruit more women?

    I was wondering when someone would play the cunt card.

    She’s awaiting confirmation that Bachmann actually has a vagina.

    Women rock. It’s not a cut down to men at all. Men have their own qualities that women don’t have. The brain is wired differently with men and women that’s all.

    Women can mulit-task like no body’s business and are brilliant at doing it. That’s just  a scientific fact.

    You better believe women could get the job done and have time to spare to do some good things for this country. That’s just how women roll.

    That’s one ugly beotch; gotta be a lib.

    As a single father working full-time, I find her comments offensive.

  • TruDat

    No, she’s left, as in left-wing loon.

    Sorry, but I cannot confirm that of my own knowledge!  I do think her five (5) children are pretty compelling circumstantial evidence!
