As the extremist party in charge of America continues its effort to nationalize the bodies of women, our 'opposition party' promises to continue its habitual cowardly refusal to fight for the rights of women - even throughout the upcoming elections. Or, so says a story in the current issue of Newsweek.
"Republicans are going to be the ones who look like extremists," says former Senate majority leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota, who lost his seat in 2004 after being beaten up on the abortion issue for years. That does not mean, however, that Democrats are rushing to call attention to the Republicans' dilemma. In the upcoming midterm elections, the Democrats don't plan to spend a dime on ads highlighting the abortion issue, according to Rep. Rahm Emanuel, the savvy Chicago pol who heads the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. He wouldn't spell out the reasons, but a top party staffer (who declined to be quoted out of deference to his bosses) told NEWSWEEK: "These guys are gun-shy because they're used to getting clobbered on the issue."
Yeah, they get clobbered, but have they put up a fight since the 1970's? The Democratic Party actually welcomes misogynists into the party. Maybe the Dems want to start accepting racists as well.
" I voted a pro-life vote. It's a solemn issue with me. My position on the pro-life movement is the same as George Bush's."--Sen. Tommy Kilby, Democrat-Wartburg, Tennessee
