Thinking back on repuke initiatives of the past, Orwellian names are status quo in repuke land.

I know there' re more, I just can't think of 'em.

Who the hell they think they are, thinking they can lord over women and know how women are thinking?

Men have better chance to solve the quantum equation than they can figure how to understood how does women think?

but memo to the republicans. You can keep trying to train your people to act properly in front of cameras and microphones, but until you start nominating people that actually do look at women (and minorities and the poor) as their equals in society, you will continue to have gaffe after gaffe. In fact, this whole public relations training is a gaffe. People who actually believe in the equality and dignity of all the citizenry regardless of race, gender, or income don't need to be trained to be respectful. This just cements that you have to put on a show to try and hide how obvious it is that you will continue to be the same poor-hating, misogynist, bigots you've always been.

Just like their presidential candidates.


The Teabaggers aren't even interested in the "appearance" part... so that's why they need the training.

Where are the WOMEN? How many WOMEN in the Republican Party has signed up for this to learn how to talk to other WOMEN???

Never mind, Sara Palin (as a Hockey Mom myself) or a Michelle Backman (as a Mom of a Lesbian Daughter myself) would be CLUELESS on how to talk to me as a woman myself.

Gregg Abbott is running a very dirty and nasty campaign against Senator Wendy Davis. Greg's supporters are pushing some really vile crap on twitter with the hashtag #abortionbarbie. Here is an example

NAAPC ?@NAAPC 16h
It's awesome that Wendy Davis' profile comes up when you do a Twitter search for "abortionbarbie."

Not for anything related to abortion. It was a screening for something else I won't go into here. Let me tell you, you have to drink 32 oz of water and not pee for like 2 hours. Fun stuff. I can't imagine having to do that for something unnecessary for one's health but because it's required by law. It can't be cheap either. It takes special equipment and a trained technician and then a doctor to review the findings. Exam time is up to 30 minutes. A total waste of resources that surely can be put to better use.

Every person who votes GOP should be required to undergo this procedure. Please. They should know what the hell it is like.

Okay, that was two words, and even they don't begin to describe it. Wish there was something comparable for men, something beyond turning their heads and coughing, required by law. Oh, and flat-out miserable not to mention painful. Somehow, though, I think anyone who votes GOP has a problem a probe can't fix.

Blessings.

6 minutes to sell yourself to the women in your District.

Then move on to the next. We'd at least get a better looking group.

10,000 or more words! How did this "so called" Progressive country become so backward.?

It would be nice to have a print out of this to show AND advertise to the idiots who don't have ANY clue what this procedure is really about! Or perhaps women either.

Just trying to tell someone on the other side simply doesn't work. Believe me, I have a sister who listens to Rushbutt all the time! To her his word is Gospel! And yes, she IS a fundamentalist so called Christian!

And here's the kicker... she actually says she believes a woman has the right to choose, but doesn't believe in abortion. She doesn't see the hypocrisy in this. What's very weird is that she's the sister that I get along with best... as long as we don't talk religion or politics!

And yes, I tried to enlighten her a long time ago! My parents and our family of SIX girls were always Democrats, but raised as strict Catholics and were Army brats. Other than her, we all are still Democrats and they mostly go to church. HOWEVER, I became the radical of our family and moved further left, dropped religion completely and decided I NEVER wanted to be a military wife! Embraced Women's Lib and never looked back. My older sisters do their thing, but make very little noise, but do vote.

I drive them CRAZY! LOL!
