To: GOP
From: The little woman and her sisters
Date: 2014-2016 election season

The majority of voters (women) want access to birth control.

The majority of voters (women) want abortion to be legal.

The majority of voters (women) don't think any rape is legitimate.

The majority of older voters (women) rely on Social Security and don't want it cut.

The majority of those on food stamps (women with kids) need the help.

The majority of minimum wage workers (women) want a raise.

The majority of voters (women) think they should be paid the same as men for the same work.

The majority of voters (women) know at least one husband who had a sleazy sexual relationship.

The majority of voters (women) respect the wife for getting through it the best way she could.

The majority of voters (women) don't want a female presidential candidate attacked for something her husband did almost 20 years ago that has nothing to do with her credentials, track record, ability, and yes, ambition.

The majority of voters (guess who?) know that if a man says he wants to win on his own terms he's tough and dedicated, but if a woman says it she's ruthless and bitchy.

Guess why the majority of voters (you guessed right) think your party is waging a war on women.

The Republicans have done nothing useful for years. When you have nothing to say, you attack the other side. Because your own record is at best blank, the best you can do is try to say well they are worse than us!

"The majority of voters (women) don't want a female presidential candidate attacked for something her husband did almost 20 years ago that has nothing to do with her credentials, track record, ability, and yes, ambition."

How about a female presidential candidate who rode to power as the wife of a sexual predator and worked actively to defend him in order to maintain her own political power?

How about a female presidential candidate who calls the female victims of a sexual predator in the Senate and their female supporters "whiny women" who needed to shut up because the then First Lady needed the Senator's vote for her government health care takeover?

How can the leader of a coalition of so called women's groups support and defend such behavior?

Ms Burk:

Hillary will have to answer all her questions first during the DNC Primary Election.

It has nothing to do with the GOP

If it has nothing to do with the GOP then why is presidential aspirant Rand Paul attacking her along with the head of the RNC, which also bussed people to the so-called March for Life on the mall last month. Wake up!

Right on target Martha. Nothing else needed.

Geraldo Bashes Ted: Rivera Blasts Nugent in the WABC Radio Round-Up

Thanks Geraldo and good job for being a republican but bringing to our attention the outrageous behaviour of Ted Nugent---perhaps he has cat-scratch fever and that is what's causing him to talk in such a wacky way.

Or he is just one of the regular whackadoodles of the GOP.

Texas Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott says Ted Nugent is accompanying him on the campaign trail.

Ted apparently made a comment about our President, the very well-spoken Barack Obama, and Geraldo said it was wrong--it was very wrong--so wrong I will not write it in this blog.

Geraldo said I have never heard the President referred to in this way and I do believe there is a touch of racism involved.

As a Hillary girl forever, right--I always liked President Obama but my first love was H.

But now, I think he will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents of the United States right after the other very great first lady president, Hillary Clinton.

It is hurtful to this blog writer to hear the president bashed in such an uncalled for way.

Why--what is the purpose of choosing offensive words--it's horrible.

It is hurtful to me and all of the people who love President Obama.

It's awful

The secret service should call on Ted again....he is out of line....he is scary.

Thanks, Geraldo for telling it like it is.

I do not want you to die--you are doing a good job--you are one of the few reasonable republicans.


here is Van Jones talking about it on real clear politics.....

Van Jones: "Ted Nugent's Crazy Racist Comments Have Me Outraged"

VAN JONES: I can feel your outrage. My outrage is -- also comes from the Texas governor's race. Republican Greg Abbott is getting some help from rocker Ted Nugent. It's Nugent's crazy racist comments that have me outrage. Now, I don't use that word lightly. Listen to this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TED NUGENT, MUSICIAN: I have obviously failed to galvanize and prod if not shame enough Americans to be ever vigilant not to let a Chicago communist-raised, communist-educated, communist-nurtured subhuman mongrel like the ACORN community organizer gangster Barack Hussein Obama to weasel his way into the top office of authority in the United States of America.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

JONES: Sub human mongrel. Now, that is language from the days of slavery. And I cannot for the life of myself understand why a leading Republican candidate would associate in any way with somebody saying stuff like this and a guy like this.

Let's have lunch this afternoon......Les Deux Magots

mother is bill o'reilly

"You're balling me out!"

That's what mother always says...

You're balling me out!

Mother shouts and then looks at me with the indignance of bill o'reilly.

Mother is bill o'reilly.

mother loves to make proclamations in an arrogant fashion.

What she says is true.

Its just when you're a kid it's hard to tell the difference of what is real and what isn't....particularly when someone is shouting what you perceive to be a fact at you....it's not until you are older and think about it that one may guess that tidbit you held onto forever may not be based on an actual truth.

You're too little--you don't have the where with all--you're hit with a blast--just trying to survive the blast not to decipher if the insult is true or false.

Back to balling out.....

I said, "People get angry when someone testifies in court against them for them to lose their children--on the side of the ex-husband, twice."

mother said she didn't do it.

I said, you did, I saw you there.

Mother said well, I really didn't say anything.

What's the point?..........

I get so angry with mother but she throws me out, or hangs up, or says real, real stupid things like...

Imagine, a daughter balling a mother out, why, I never would have balled my mother out.

She says with an unbelievable indignance. .....

okay...well, I'm just saying mother is frustrating....I'm really not a bad person.

but, most of all, thanks for reading.
