Target the individual, not the group. I say that as an atheist, so I have no skin in the game.

by a large, organized group of people. The woman did not go to Mitt because he's Mitt but because he was the LDS Bishop, given authority over her by the Church.
I guess in your way of thinking, any right wing group that actually teaches bigotry and dishonesty is not accoutable. So Focus on the Family is not responsible as a group for their hate mongering? Don't bother the Aryan Nations, just focus on individual Neo Nazis? Really?

where are Ed, Lawrence and Rachel on this stuff?
a HUGE chunk of that article was completely new to me

I'd like to see these folks come forward, but without the stench of the odious Gloria Allred attached to them. All she would do is destroy their credibility.

I find the stories more disturbing than his 47% comments. He is truly evil.

Heard about this one months ago. But if it finally gets a lot of media attention, that would be great.

We should start a rumor that Rmoney will enforce Mormon Law. Because from what I read, Rmoney is just as bad as the crazies in the middle east over women's issues. Not married with kids equals not wearing your burka.

Totally confirms every weird vibe I've felt coming off that dude. Missing a big chunk of psyche, methinks - like his empathy/sympathy button simply doesn't exist at a gut level - it's all show, like a well-trained seal, barking for fish.

See anything from Alred.

Besides, as unlikeable and obnoxious as she is do we WANT to see anything from her? Do we want the President associated with anything she stirs up? We are going to win this thing (God Willing), lets not make a move that screws it up.

She's one of the most successful attornies in her field, she's done many remarkable and important things in her career that others lacked the skill and conviction to accomplish. The only people who dislike her are already voting for Willard 'stay home and make dinner' Romney.

And her firm does a huge amount of pro bono work for women.

I embrace Gloria Allred, and she can bring nothing but honesty and transparency to the Party. People who denounce her should wiki her and her life's work.

And, as BNW said, I also know how to spell her name.

Or so... it just amazes me that so much is written about this guy and none of it seems to matter. He could be the Confirmed Anti-Christ and I still think 45% of America would still vote for him.

Why?

Everyone should send this around to everyone you know. This will end Romney's female vote, whatever exists of it.
