Harry Reid: Domestic abuse rises as jobs fall - - Twitchin Kitten - 02-23-2010
Are all of them losing their minds? Where do they come up with this shit? I had seen a news video this morning but I can't find it to add here so you can hear for yourself this imbecile's thoughts. You'll have to settle for the story.
Harry Reid: Domestic abuse rises as jobs fall (Men when they're out of work tend to become abusive)
Source: Politico
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pushed for a $15 billion jobs bill Monday by suggesting that unemployed men are more likely to abuse their wives.
“Men when they're out of work tend to become abusive,” Reid said as he argued in favor of a cloture vote on the jobs bill. “I met with some people while I was home dealing with domestic abuse. It has gotten out of hand. Why? Men don't have jobs. Women don't have jobs either, but women aren’t abusive, most of the time. Men, when they're out of work, tend to become abusive. Our domestic crisis shelters in Nevada are jammed.”
A 2004 report prepared under a National Institute of Justice grant found that domestic violence against women occurred more frequently when their male partners were unemployed.

So does that mean Mudd at 24 has been beating the shit out of his wife for 2 years?

LOL that sexist shit for brains probably has been doing that from day one.

i hate to say it, but he's right. men are historically conditioned to be breadwinners and hunters...when they feel like failures or "less than real men" or their self-esteem and self-image as an effective male is in the bog, they do often take it out on their wives/partners. alcohol is usually involved.
note: i didn't watch/listen to the video, only read the comment to get the gist.

He's an idiot trying to use that to present a bill to Congress. The video is short. Have a listen.
Regardless, domestic violence goes both ways and Harry Reid remains a fucking moron.

I still gets my goat that he pontificates about taxes and government and immigrants at 24 and he's sat there all the time I've known him doing fuck all, househusband my arse.
He hasn't done a days work in over two years allegedly because he is "partially disabled" i.e too fat to move. Plus he thinks putting up dry wall is a middle class white collar profession -
RE: Harry Reid: Domestic abuse rises as jobs fall - - Twitchin Kitten - 02-23-2010
Dry wallers in my area of the country make damn good money, BS. Where he is I don't know but if it's a union job, then they do even better.
He could be telling the truth about his disability and all that but that does not take away he's a bigoted, racist, sexist prick.

In the UK putting up drywall is nothing more than a builders labourer job, somewhere way below carpenter, electrician and plasterer.

i agree domestic violence goes both ways. over the years the number of females charged/arrested increased greatly. but the majority of incidents and homicides are male on female. the males have more of the 'drag-em-off-to-the-cave' neanderthal aggressive wiring.
not ALL males of course! my comment is simply in relation to issues of males who are unemployed and consider themselves somehow losers and identities threatened.
