1. I swear to God...
The President and every other D congressmen and senator better win the message award on this one, they better flood the airwaves and let the American people know how vile the republicans really are. NO EXCUSES!

2. The problem isn't whether they will try to flood the airwaves,
its whether the right wing propaganda machine will actually report anything they say. Its very hard to get your message out, when the opposing party owns the airwaves.

5. The only way the truth will be broadcast.....
...is if it's reported on RT or al-Jazeera. Because with Charlie Sheen, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan not having any personal crises right now, that usually means the MSM will have stories about puppies.

3. I am impressed with Dem. group of women who spoke earlier today.
Edited on Fri Apr-08-11 04:11 PM by dixiegrrrrl
I am watching the replay of the video of the press conference on Cspan now.
Boxer, Patty Murray, Feinstein, etc. whole group of women emphatically stating some great points.
" We are ready to keep government open but we will not do it at the expense of women's health".
And they pointed out there is NO Federal coverage for abortion anyhow, so why close Planned Parenthood???

Here is link to that Presser.....very intense.

6. They should have countered this lunacy with a tax on the rich.
The Dems have shielded the rich by default by failing to include a tax on the rich in the budget process. And the Repukes are taking them to the wall on budget deficits because they don't have to defend their rich buddy's money from a tax hike. So the Dems have nothing to negotiate with. NOTHING. That has been this administration's failing.

- Well, one of them. But a BIG one.....

4. One of the best "cut through the BS" videographers...
in the inner tubes.
The opening story made my skin crawl when the counselor pulled the dribble from her desk... Jesus Christ!
It's all about diversion, distraction, and division.
The strategy is old and it is known: keep the people at each others' throats...
and we won't notice we are being slaughtered.

8. Not only pulling out the bible.....
...but taking her directly to http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+51&version=NIV">Psalm 51, one of the more onerous passages in the bible, I've found. These are the verses that tell us what worthless pieces of slime we are in spite of the fact that we were created by a "perfect" god who can do no wrong. Duh.

This is why I have to refrain from mixing and conversing with religionists because they refuse to take responsibility for this disgraceful stupid bullshit. And it's theirs.

- All theirs.....

7. Planned Parenthood gave me my BC Pills
when my HUSBAND was out of work (offshored to India) for a year, and we had two little children. We were about to lose our home, getting our food from a food pantry, had no health insurance, etc. As RESPONSIBLE adults, MARRIED at that, the last thing we, or the government, needed was another mouth to feed.

I suppose these jerks think I should not have been a slut and crossed my legs to my husband at a very trying time in his life? Or welcome more children, which we couldn't afford, into our family just because we had wedding rings on our fingers?

Any email I have gotten I have written my story to these imbecile legislators. BTW, one of the first things we did when my husband found a job, was to DONATE TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD. Oh, I am sure they would love that one. Married with children donating to Planned Parenthood.

9. Actually....
...these ignorant, holier-than-thou's would say: "the Lord will provide." And leave it at that and go on their way.

They have a terrible hangup about sex in general and women in particular. Also, keeping women pregnant they hope will help to fore-stay the http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x835536">inevitable onslaught of brown minorities who are out-producing them. And it also slows women down and will more likely keep them dependent upon men. So from their perspective, "it's all good."

- They can give less than a sh*t about anyone, once they've emerge from the womb......
