GOP Newsletter Takes SEXIST SWIPE At Betty Sutton (D-OH)
" GOP Newsletter: " Lets take BETTY SUTTON out of the House and PUT HER BACK IN THE KITCHEN."


<>


A recent newsletter from the Republican Party in Medina County, Ohio, flagged by EMILY's List, contains a specific attack on Democratic Rep. Betty Sutton: "Let's take Betty Sutton out of the House and put her back in the kitchen."


County GOP chairman Bill Heck told TPMDC that the newsletter was "an attention-getter" in terms of its political rhetoric. "I'm not sure that it was intended -- in fact I'm positive that it was not in intended to be sexist," said Heck. "In fact, it was speaking to the people of that district, and not intended to be a sexist comment."


"I mean, I have a wife that was elected twice to county office, and once was a judge. I've got two daughters," Heck added. "It was not authored by me, but it was published by the Republican Party of Medina County. We are just trying to get the attention of the voters. It is rhetoric that I think is very common in all elections, of sending people somewhere -- either to the House or back from the House. And we certainly apologize for any offense that anyone would take from this."


Although Heck said he did not author it -- he said that it came from the party's communications committee -- he confirmed that he does approve all literature that is sent out.

3. Bill Heck is an inbred trash talking hill-billie
that should be removed from his party chairmanship and sent back to where he came from, the municipal waste dump !

There ! if he can trash Sutton we can trash him too.

BTW, in the Medina Gazette today (4/23):

Medina County GOP Chairman Bill Heck said the publication was sent to about 15,000 homes, and that he had not received any complaints.

10. Yeah, his wife Jill was a real gem, too.
That's why she lost her elected position.

This was Bill's dad, Jill Heck's FIL.

12. Try this one...

This was a huge scandal in Medina County at the time, and brought many a Republican hypocrite to the end of their political careers.

Jill Heck is a Harpy, and her husband is a troglodyte.
