I'm with her ... redux.

For context, listen to this piece from WOWO first ...

"Democratic candidate for congress Courtney Tritch speaks about trying to schedule debates with Congressman Banks" ...

Upon reading exchanges and listening to Congressional Candidate Courtney Tritch on Fort Wayne, Indiana's WOWO very recently, I now am caught up regarding this current "situation."

Allow me to summarize: Congressman Jim Banks (or his representatives) indicated, after no comment for a period of time, that he is too "busy" with family life and his job to bother with debates with Phi Beta Kappa Courtney Tritch.

Wow. The gall.



Because HE has a family and HE has a job? If he is that busy with his tax-payer financed job and his growing family, then he should move over for Courtney no doubt.

The American (and I am assuming Hoosier) population is composed of many, many, many women who have begun to realize misogyny might (unfortunately) be a given. This marginalization of women takes place within the "home" and in the workplace. More significantly, that denial of the importance and rights of females CERTAINLY should not emanate from the "bought" legislators occupying desks and perks in Washington, D.C.



Time's up on that!

A friend of ours, and a former Fort Wayne newscaster, referred to Mister Banks as "processed"... indeed. Perfect word.

He jumps through all the "right" hoops and has since college days. He has very interesting/intriguing backers (cough ... Koch), and he is unavailable to those he considers not to matter and deems unworthy of his "fair-minded" attention.

I'm with her ... redux.
