Cleveland Leader:
A recent newsletter sent out by the Medina County Republican Executive Committee urged voters to "take Betty Sutton out of the House and put her back in the kitchen." Her supporters and many women in general, are upset by the misogynist remarks.
The group's chairman, Bill Heck, confirmed that the piece came from a recent edition of the group's "Republican Review" newsletter, which is distributed to 15,000 households locally. He says he has not received any complaints, and suggests that Democrats are just as misogynist as the GOP, pointing to comments that have been made about Sarah Palin.
Heck suggests that anyone who was offended could pursue the matter with the Ohio Elections Commission, rather than trying to "get some noise going" and getting a newspaper to write about it. It seems as though at least one group is going to take him up on his offer. The members of the Emily's List political action committee, which raises funds to support female Democratic candidates, are riled up and "ready to do something about it."
U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton, a Democrat representing Ohio's 13th District, has called on Bill Heck to resign. Unfortunately, he has not. Mr. Heck stated that he has not gotten complaints. If you'd like to make a complaint, you can call the Medina County Republican Party at (330) 723-0415 or visit their contact page.

Ohio Republicans wonder why a majority of women in Ohio support Democratic candidates. It might be that the Republicans just can't get it through their 1930's brains that women are in the workforce, and in the U.S. House and Senate. As long as Republicans keep living in the past, they'll be unprepared for the future.
