Nance Greggs: The Judas Goat

[DemocratsForProgress]

To: Nadine Maenza
Executive Director, Patriot Voices:

I was most interested to receive your email this morning, ironically entitled “Don’t Be Fooled,” which began with this statement:

“For months now, the Obama campaign and national Democrats are suggesting that they are the candidates who are looking out for the issues important to women.”

Allow me to enlighten you, to whatever extent women like yourself are educable. The Obama campaign and the Democratic party are not suggesting anything. Instead, what they have consistently done is take action where women’s issues are concerned, while Romney and the Republicans continue to wage war on women’s reproductive rights, access to contraception and abortion, and equal wages for equal work.

You are shamelessly shilling for a party that differentiates between “legitimate rape” and not-really-so-bad-after-all rape, and champions the idea of women being subjected to invasive, humiliating, and totally unnecessary medical procedures as punishment for seeking to exercise their legal right to an abortion, along with promoting a candidate who changes his position on women’s rights as often as he changes his magic underwear...

1. Another home run from Nance

2. My dear Nance...

Your rants are always good, but this one stands head and shoulders above all the rest. Your very clearly articulated prose skewers Nadine's position most cleverly.

Well done, and thank you!

4. Beautiful! What a smackdown!

5. Yeah, Nance!

6. My favorite line ...

The difference between the goat and yourself, of course, is that the goat is a dumb animal and you are – well, perhaps the difference is too minimal to be mentioned here.



But, seriously. I am beyond furious that every day I hear from some moron middle-aged male who obviously flunked health class in high school holding forth on rape, incest, abortion, or birth control. Their ignorance is stunning, and the fact that a major political party in supposedly the BEST NATION IN THE WHOLE, WIDE WORLD wants these incredibly stupid men in positions to make decisions that affect all of us is beyond comprehension.

And more pathetic are the brainless women who will vote for them.

7. As has been said before, if men could get pregnant there would be abortion machines in mens' rooms

right next to the rubbers dispensers.

9. Go NANCE! Shilling for the Rape Party Indeed and a traitor

to Women Everywhere!

[BlueMTexpat]

10. Unfortunately, there are women in my own family

who are as brain dead as Nadine is.

I love Nance's rant! She is spot on but people like Nadine - and those I know who are like her, thankfully in the minority - are literally beyond hope. That is the most tragic thing of all.
