It's not about what Alvin Holmes said, it's about what Alabama House Republicans did

Mission  Not Accomplished

Bama house republicans voted to deny black/poor women access to a safe legal abortion yesterday, blame Alvin Holmes callous rant.  Not.  According to a report by the Kaiser Foundation African American women obtained the majority of legal abortions in Alabama. 

What Rep Holmes said was no more outrageous than the Republicans pushing the unconstitutional bill to begin with. He was fighting ridiculous statements from the Right with ridiculous statement of his own. Fighting fire with fire.

Racist statements are just a form of stupidity. it was stupid vs stupid, only the Republican stupidity will cost the state of Alabama hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to defend their stupidity in court.

 Ill doctrine says racism is not about that thing you said, it's about that thing you did.  Let's be clear about what Alabama House republicans did, not what Alabama State Rep.Alvin Holmes said.

Look at the facts in Alabama.
It is a racially divided state where the good ole boys rule.
Holmes statement is provocative for sure but when is Alabama going to wake up.
There is a prison system crisis, a poverty crisis, an education system crisis, a health care crisis(and the governor rejects federal money)a huge gap in income between whites and other ethnic and racial groups.

Alabama House republicans voted  for more children born into poverty blame Alvin Holmes. Snark

What to do you when you have no plan, no agenda, and no ideas?  Attack those who do.

The RAPEpublican Agenda

Kentuckians Against the War on Women

Is it just me, or are republicans obsessed with vaginal probes?  It's all rape all the time with these guys and some gals.  First they  re defined rape, then comes legitimate rape, now we have rape in the name of the Lord.   Thank God we have a bunch of pro life, Viagra ingesting white men around to explain what sexism and misogyny IS.

RedEye Roll

OK here's the deal,  in order to appeal to their Tea Party base republicans have to oppose abortion  under any circumstances.  Therefore,  they have to make it appear women are getting raped to justify having an abortion.

Ain't that a dip?

According to the Talking TeeVee Pundit Heads and the Polling Pollsters, President Obama and Mitt Romney are neck in neck, with Romney in the lead in some cases.  My questions are why, and how, in the world could this race even be close?  What self respecting woman, or man for that matter, in their right (pun intended) mind, would choose Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan over President Obama and Vice President Joe Biden?  

How stupid will we (women) be when we wake up one day in a Romney Presidency and realize ALL our rights are gone?

I mean, really?

UPDATED: Limbaugh Sponsor Contact List & Petition

Sign White House petition demanding that Rush Limbaugh be taken off Armed Forces Radio. Military rape is a huge problem. Limbaugh's misogynist tirades against women undermines military discipline and esprit de corps by influencing young men to view women in the military as sex objects instead of as their fellow unit members.

There is no middle in the democratic party.  

You are either with US,

Or, you are with them.

That 

Is 

All 

you really need to know. 

Republicans are not pro life, they are anti choice

The majority of the American people, including me, are pro-life.  How many people do you know who are anti-life?  I mean, really?

Republicans are pro-life as long as it's a fetus after it's born they are anti-life.  Don't believe me?  Ask the family of the late  Troy Anthony Davis.  Isn't it funny how republicans will trust a woman with a child, but not with a choice?

Attention republican men!  If you are against contraceptives, don't use them.  If you are against abortion don't have one.

Women are throwing down the gauntlet.
