| AZ Dem Slams Stay-At-Home Moms: They're Nothing But Leeches |
| 2018-10-20 |
| BLUF: [Townhall] Democratic Senate candidate Kyrsten Sinema, of Arizona, once described stay-at-home moms as leeches in a 2006 interview. "These women who act like staying at home, leeching off their husbands or boyfriends, and just cashing the checks is some sort of feminism because they’re choosing to live that life," she told Scottsdale nightlife magazine 944. "That’s bullshit. I mean, what the f*** are we really talking about here?" In an interview with KTAR on Wednesday, Sinema was asked if she considered herself a "proud Democrat," a descriptor she balked at, insisting that she’s a "proud Arizonan," and that she doesn’t think either political party is doing a good job. |

| #8 My wife stayed home with the kids through their formative years. It was worse than the Catholic vow of poverty, but both our kids turned out terrific and we just celebrated our 32 anniversary. When these bitter old biddies to die alone in their apartments after choking on their meal for one from Trader Joe's, I will laugh and laugh. |

| #7 Only a communist would suggest that married women who stay home to take care of their children are leeches. |

| #6 leeches In some cases that is true. In other cases it’s a matter of individual specialization to leverage optimal performance for the family as a group. Statistically speaking, men and women with stay-at-home spouses tend to have more successful careers because they are not distracted. So it is really about achieving the greatest overall level of happiness by offering a variety of choices. Only a blindered socialist would insist that people are all nothing more than square widgets that must be forced into square holes. |

| #5 It used to be, way back in the olden days before inflation, that a man with a decent job could support his family. His wife could stay home and take care of the children. They didn't have to squander their money on maids and after school programs. When the kids got home from school their mothers were waiting for them with milk and cookies. When the husband got home from work his dinner would be ready for him and his house would be in order. People had time to think. They had time to be civilized. Democrats like it when it takes two jobs to make ends meet and everybody is so harried and fearful that we have no time left to think or enjoy our lives. They like it when we have to leave our children in the care of strangers. That's what I call bullshit. |

| #3 I love how they've got a trove of these and keeping dropping them every day up til the election. Someone did their oppo-research. About time! |

| #2 Oh, her kind has an intuitive grasp of the fundamentals of civilization and its most vulnerable points. |
