1. Carlsbad, Blue Grotto, Lascaux . . . n/t

[Enrique]

2. it doesn't belong there, but it could have belonged there if the dems decided it did

They could have made a case for keeping it, they chose not to. I agree with the decision.

3. Including "federally-funded contraceptives" was like waving a shiny thing in front of a baby.

Of course the Republicans were going to grab it. They are desperate to please their fundie masters, after all. They do this sort of thing after every election, before realizing that it's the corporations who truly own them.

Clearly strategic.

4. What would be strategic is including "federally-funded ABORTIONS"

then "settle for" contraceptives.

But that would be "too partisan" or something. :eyes:

5. Brilliant strategy. The right is left grasping at straws and Limbaugh's antics
