1. After all these years of fostering civil rights

someone punched a hole in the bucket and all the
pent up anger over people's rights to persue their
own happiness with equal rights comes spewing forth.

Smells like victory come November 2012. I could not be more pleased with their progress, or should I say, regress.

They're against all of this because President Obama is for it. That's why they're trying to spin this into a religious issue, and about "Obamacare". Most people support the President regarding contraception, so they can't use that against him. And, the more they see of his healthcare law, the more they're liking it. They repugs are desperately throwing everything they can at him and hoping it sticks. But, they're so desperate, they don't realize they're only making themselves look like lunatics. They have gone off the deep end.

This is reeeeeally pissing women off. It's so personal, so medieval. We need to take them by the hair and smash their faces into this mess and rub it in until it goes up their nostrils.

Remind women constantly that their very lives and autonomy are threatened by these monumentally entitled idiots.

The War of Women will go into overdrive. Even without that, I think a lot of damage has been done. I am flummoxed as to how Republicans can be so tone deaf on this. It is as if the Duggers are the new face of the Republican Party.
