As if women were cautious about Conservatives already:

Not that politicians "selling out" for personal or political gain, or even out of spite, is a new trend in human history. It happens all the time. Even Winston Churchill did it for crying out loud. When men do it, well, they were bad but I'm sure they had their reasons. But when a blonde woman makes a similar move, she is labeled with "dipstick", "bombshell", "whore", "bitch" and "wench" (I was a few steps away from the person who used this last one). Of course, Conservatives across Canada are upset and angered with the budget vote hours away, but can we ever evolve as a nation and species to drop the derogatory sexist b.s.?

Did anyone notice it was the "born again" people responding with the most condemnation? Am I supposed to respond in a similar way? Listen, if Mackay had crossed the floor, people would have been mad but the comments would have been a lot different.
