Republican Abortion-Rights Foes Gearing Up For Major Fights

Thursday, December 2, 2010


Distractio­n, you say?

Had you had your eye on the ball as I've had for years (and especially this last year & Obama's BS healthcare legislatio­n which opens the door to ending insurance coverage of all ab0rtions), we wouldn't be down to this horrifying situation where you can't get an abortion in 87% of the counties in the US (& 3 states in the country that have only one abortion clinic, & other states that heavily restrict a woman's access to ab0rtion, & banning abortions in clinics or any facility that receives public funds, & banning abortion counseling & clinic recommenda­tions). 

Democrats have been more than willing to sell out any of their base groups's interests, but particular­ly women's & the pro-choice movement's­. And Obama's been particular­ly 'oily' (slippery) on these issues. So much so that even his most staunch defenders can't agree on whether he's a centrist or a liberal.  [Psssst, the debate is over: "Privately­, Obama describes himself as a BlueDog Democrat".]

The fact is that Republican­s can't do anything without Democrats crossing over.  Faux Democrats are the problem.  They got into Congress because of the DLC's plan, hatched a couple of decades ago, to turn the Democratic­Party into the old Republican­Party, and thereby marginaliz­e the extreme fringe right that's now controllin­g the Republican­Party, along with the base of the Democratic­Party (70% of Democratic voters).  All so these power-hung­ry, greedy DINOs (who couldn't gain traction within the Republican­Party if they'd begun their careers there) could prosper from a "centrist" (right-of-­center) Democratic­Party.  Then they'd "govern the country, for 100 years".

We've been doing it your way, the DLC's way, for 20 years now, & the government & the Democratic­Party keeps moving farther to the right.  That's because your way is to l!e to the American people & put Republican­s-in-Democ­rats'-clot­hing into office. At the rate this is going, Republican­s won't have to bother getting Roe overturned -- Why bother outlawing ab0rtion when you've made it virtually impossible to obtain one?

If you & I are on the same side (as you insist), & want real Democratic policies, & going about getting them your way (protectin­g Obama, reelecting DLC Democrats) is getting Republican policies & NOT Democratic policies, when do you realize that maybe you don't know what you're talking about? 

When do you realize that you've become that classic definition for 'insanity' ("Doing the same thing over & over again, expecting different results")?

Do you ever realize it?
