Rapes or sexual assault against women, 2007
248,300
The majority of US citizens are women; Women are more highly educated in the U.S; Women are continually paid less--by almost 25 percent--than men. Despite a vast pipeline of women in the professional workforce, they are relegated to non-alpha positions. Women are given miniscule representation in government even as they are the majority of the population. Women are largely relegated (most often by so-called progressives) to represent only Democrats in Congress. A staggering national assault occurs daily against women’s bodies with scant attention paid by male-dominated media.

Obama's "now or never" Pledge-- just another Obamaisms—say it now, retract it later!Saturday, November 1, 2008 at 1:28 pm — admin
Did I just hear McCain right? At McCain rally in Virginia McCain said: Obama has announced that if he loses then he will go back to the Senate and return in 4 years to run again. Now during the primaries Obama pledged to voters it was “now or never” that Michele would not let him run again. http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politics/blog/2007/12/michelle_obama_i... |

No one is going to impregnate
No one is going to impregnate a woman, short of criminal coercion, without her complete cooperation. How can McCain/Palin be accused of keeping women pregnant? Almost too absurd to waste this reply on.
The list of Obama lies is so long that unless they are all written down no one can remember them all. I continue to be amazed by his supporters who are able to "rationalize" every despicable act he has taken. They will learn soon enough, if he is elected, that he will treat them just as despicably once he gets what he wants. Then it will be too late for our country and God help all of us.
Vote McCain/Palin 08
The Traitor post (troll most
The Traitor post (troll most likely) was aimed at Femisex, b/c we are supporting Palin despite her anti-choice stance. Femisex has made it abundantly clear we are fully pro-choice, but we will not allow the excellent cause of reproductive freedom to be used as a weapon to cripple any woman (Red or Blue) with sexist smears.
When sexism is used to smear women All women are wounded-- and yes that means pro-choice women.
I urge you all to re-read Punching it for Palin: Why this Hillary Supporter and Abortion Rights Supporter Will Vote for Palin.

I also urge our troll to read this week's post: Probability of a Female in the White House! To get gender equality in legislative and ex. branch of gvt women of both stripes will need to be elected.
Foreign policy and the war on
Foreign policy and the war on terror have taken a back seat as issues.Thomas Sowell is an African American journalist. I believe enough smart people will vote for McCain to elect him.
Here’s his excerpt which I copied…..
October 30, 2008
“What the Middle East fanatics want is not just our resources or even our lives, but our humiliation first, in whatever sadistic ways they can think of. Their lust for humiliation has already been repeatedly demonstrated in their videotaped beheadings that find such an eager market in the Middle East. None of this can be prevented by glib talk, but only by character, courage and decisive actions – none of which Barack Obama has ever demonstrated.”

So telling, Obama knows he
So telling, Obama knows he will loose and loose in a landslide. Internals are falling apart. Has to win by a 10 point margin or he looses. Polls are way off due to the fact 75% don't answer calls or hang up. Polls assume a 4-6% increase in dem registration up from 2004. 2004 numbers didn't pan out in the favors as predicted. Most of the new registrations are phoney. And they can't poll the absolute fear factor this man instills.
With his radical ties, radical policies and a far left agenda people are flocking to the polls.
The media in their effort to cover for him have only contributed to the fear.
Everywhere people ask about his birth certificate, citizenship, Marxist father who raised him, Ayers, Wright, Al Mansour, Rasheidi, strong arm tactics with the press and the list goes on.
Can there be anyone who's
Can there be anyone who's silly or slow-of-mind enough to actually believe ANYTHING Barack Obama says?
It wouldn't surprise me when he loses that his puppetmasters use him and megalomania to initiate some actual revolution.
Sounds crazy, I know, but I put nothing past those fascists who are also misogynists and misanthropes, plus racial and cultural arsonists.
Traitor. No one who supports
Traitor.
No one who supports McShame and Caribou Barbie can claim to be for women, in any way shape or form. Unless it's to keep us barefoot, pregnant and at home, schooling our kids to reject reason subscribe to drivel-filled dogma.
Because that is exactly what they support.
Yeah, I wanted Hillary to win too.
But not to the point that it drove me around the bend, into bat-shit-crazy land, and into supporting a McCain ticket that is everything that Hillary is, and always has been against.
This spiteful over-the-edge
This spiteful over-the-edge remakr is perfect example of that saying "a mind is a terrible thing to waste."
Plus, anger, bitterness and rage, plus ignorance, are not winning combinations. That is, I guess, unless you support the empty suit from Chicago and his misogyny and misanthropy.
BTW: As for home-schooling, Toots, I'll put homeschoolers up against anyone in public education. Top to bottom.
no one who supported Hillary
no one who supported Hillary would call Gov. Palin Caribou Barbie, so dear readers this is easy way to spot a troll:
an Obama troll says they supported HRC then says nasty sexist things about Palin. I know of few HRC voters who resort to sexism or name calling about McCain.
