    House GOP women confront a political crisis — their party is mostly men

    About a half dozen House Republican women gathered this week for a somber, post-election dinner.

    Exchanging thoughts about the brutal results for GOP candidates, they realized something depressing, according to one attendee. That small dinner group represented about half the total number of Republican women who would serve in the House next year.

    Just 13 GOP women have won election so far to serve in the next Congress, down from 23 this year. With a half dozen races yet to be resolved, the House GOP — the minority party next year — is all but certain to have the lowest number of women in its ranks since 1994.

    That drop-off came amid a national political climate that saw female voters sharply break from Republicans. Women favored Democrats over Republicans for Congress, 59 percent to 40 percent, according to exit polls.

    It has set off a debate within the Republican Party about how to address this crisis, both in terms of appealing to female voters and recruiting and retaining women in Congress.

    Republican women are a strange lot. They don't seem to mind being stooges for men. They don't seem to mind being an after-thought.

    Look no further than Stretch.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    I am not saying they have similar motivations and ideologies, but I believe there is robust statistical surveys showing that the three whitest and most patriarchal organization on the planet are the KKK, the Republican Party, and the Strip Club Owners of America trade group organization.

    Society as a whole has needs to work towards a true meritocracy, But it really does not get much more white or patriarchal than those aforementioned groups.

    ... and this is happening in the age of rising political power for women.

    Republican women miss the boat.

    Does the GOP understand the negative significance of the lack of Republican women in Congress?
