Good to read how some Republicans are growing a spine to call this League of Liberal Women voters what it is.

A letter to the editor listed the party's website where the full text of the Letter to the League can be read without a newspaper's writer bias.

The website is cliftonparkgop.org

Good idea, but about 20 years too late.

The old lady libs still in the League still think they are the final arbitor of everything. This really got their panties in a twist.

When the forum is not, as it claims, impartial,
it's self-destructive to help them keep up the
pretense with your participation.

Which makes it even more mysterious that the White
House even talks to people in Legacy Media.

Kinda like an oxymornic statement isn't it?

unused questions should be made public before they are destroyed

That's an excellent idea for all these so-called 'town-hall meetings' and 'candidates' forums.'

Show ALL the questions, so the supposedly objective reporterettes who emcee the event (like Carole Simpson --or Thimthen, as Rush pronounces it) can't away with the fraud they pull. Not as shamelessly as they do now, anyway.

Yeah, the LWV long ago was captured by the left. Out here in California, the LWV is opposing every single conservative measure and endorsing every single liberal measure. Coincidence? Shyeah.

They're even opposing Prop. 75, which simply requires public-sector unions to get each member's annual permission before taking extra paycheck money for political purposes. 20 years ago, the already-liberal LWV still would have supported THAT sensible reform.

Not today. LWV, rest in peace. Now it's the LLWV.

No question about it. One look at the links on their website, like "smartgrowth" initiatives, and it removes all doubt tha they are "non-partisan".

The League of liberal women voters is about as representative of women as the NOW gang.

It seems like a reasonable request doesn't it, however in the story the League flatly rejected this notion. totally absurd.

Agreed, which is why their continual claim that they are non-partisan must be called so that they can take a place in the trash heap of liberal groups right where they belong.

The libs are trying every trick in the book up here, including the usual cover-up of their agenda, party affiliations etc. I noticed they are even sending in letters from children to the community newspaper, announcing their support for their candidates and crying about Walmart (Soros' Working Families Party is using this as a backdoor issue to get support for their candidates).

Yep, the league is comprised of move on women who stay in the closet to maintain their non-partisan cover.
