Article here. Excerpt:

'If Judd decides to challenge Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell for his Senate seat next year, Republicans and their well-funded super PAC allies have warned that Kentuckians will see and hear these comments over and over again on television and the radio.
...
- On fathers giving daughters away at weddings: “To this day, a common vestige of male dominion over a woman’s reproductive status is her father ‘giving’ away her away to her husband at their wedding, and the ongoing practice of women giving up their last names in order to assume the name of their husband’s families, into which they have effectively been traded.”
...
- On men: “Throughout history, men have tried to control the means of reproduction, which means trying to control woman. This president is a modern day Attila the Hun.”
...
“If she runs, I think that it would be a catastrophe for a lot of downballot races in Kentucky,” Jimmy Cauley, a Democratic strategist in Kentucky, told Roll Call recently.'

... that she's even a speculative runner for the Senate shows just how far we've fallen. But as I've pointed out before, you have only to look at the entertainment industry transplants into politics to see two things: It's not at all w/out precedent and it's usually a very bad idea for the electorate. But hey, you get what you vote for. The ppl have only themselves to blame when the sheepishly continue to vote for only big-party candidates, ppl w/ little actual experience running anything much less a gov't, or both. We make our beds and so we must sleep in them.

Ashley Judd was raised by a mother who engaged in paternity fraud (Mamma Judd had another man believe he was Wynona's dad, but he was not. Wynona Judd is Ashley's sister). I don't think any of the Judds value or respect men, fatherhood or motherhood.

Anyone who values men, fatherhood, motherhood, fetuses and children should not want her representing them.
