Well then you are either a liberal Democrat or you aspire to be one, cuz that's page one in their playbook. If someone criticizes a liberal woman, call them a woman-hater. If someone critcizes a liberal black, call them racist, etc. etc. And in Kay's book, if someone is against killing babies, say they are against 'women's rights'
Kay Bailey Hutchison Fails to Stop Confirmation of Leon Holmes
On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate voted to confirm the nomination of Leon Holmes to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas by a vote of 51-46. Mr. Holmes, a highly qualified and respected constitutional attorney who was supported by Arkansas Senators Blanche Lincoln and Mark Pryor, both liberal Democrats, is a Catholic and a former president of Arkansas Right to Life.
Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison joined with her liberal and feminist colleagues to oppose his confirmation because of his pro-life views and because he and his wife co-authored an article for a Catholic newspaper on the roles of husbands and wives based on the epistles of St. Paul which have been read as a part of Catholic marriage ceremonies throughout Church history. (Eph. v. 22-25, 28-31,33). She and four other Republican Senators, Lincoln Chafee (RI), Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins (ME), and John Warner (VA) voted against the President’s nominee for the Arkansas federal bench. Mrs. Hutchison, who supports legal abortion until viability, not only voted against Leon Holmes’ confirmation, but she went to the Senate floor and spoke against him as well, saying that his statements over the last 25 years "lead me to conclude that he doesn't have the fundamental commitment to the total equality of women in our society."
Tell it to NARAL. Those silly baby-killers keep giving her a 0 rating.
I wrote her office at the time of the Holmes confirmation. I didn't agree, but she explained her position thoroughly and didn't do any dance. I take it as a given that I'm not going to agree with her 100%. But calling her a "liberal" is a joke, unless you really think those of us (including me) who prefer the Tancredos and Buchanans make up the mainstream majority.
