2. Some Democrats think that we should ignore the women's
reproductive health care issue because it angers the republicans. Some Democrats think we should just not mention the unmentionables (women's rights, GLBT rights, the war in Iraq, health care) and just make this about who's ads are cuter and who has the neatest campaign materials. I went to a DAWN training and was told not to mention my party affiliation when I go door-knock, "it's not important, only that they remember your name" :eyes:

Some Democrats are afraid to be Democrats and will be supporting the people who don't remind them that we're supposed to be Democrats in the primary. Then in the General it will be two older white men in navy blue suits who can tell all of us women that they know what's best for us and also how to raise our kids and how they are sorry they can't create jobs that pay over $5.15 an hour, but at least we don't have any crazy scientists in Iowa working on animal-human hybrids :eyes:

Give me a break!
