Rape me Bill... rape meee!

These women(?) need to read a paper or get on the internet.

Somethings wrong here. Stupidity is their refuge.

Lock your doors ladies and make sure your daughters are home and in bed.

Billy the rapist is on the loose... his wife is looking for fresh meat.

[Tacis]

Certaining, a protest that involves not shaving legs or pits would have a significant influence.

[Bikers4Bush]

I only have a few words for Kim, shut up you political whore.

[narby]

We will do whatever it takes to protect women's lives in every city, town and district with an energized, focused and expanded constituency.

This is such an insult. A clear implication that Republicans want to kill women. Are these people whackos, or what?

[blackdog]

These groups have been listening to themselves for so long, they don't even have a clue. They have become irrelevant in our society. They were co-conspirators with the fear mongering rats. A uterus is not a place where republicans care to terrorize women, social security is not a bone to be snatched out from granma's starving mouth, dogfood is not the staple under republican WIC policy, and so on.

Fear set in among womens groups when abortion rates began to drop. This bothers them! It either meant that people were chosing to not kill their babies and it made NOW look like the extremists or republicans were to be blamed. Of course NOW members cannot look in the mirror?

[AmericanInTokyo]

Great to say the BABY KILLER LOBBY is ramping up again.

[Howlin]

Let me ask you this: do you know ANY women that think like these women do? I'm asking because I know I don't; I'm just wondering if I'm missing them as they move about me and I don't know it.

When my aunt was dying, late one night my cousins and I were sitting around talking about our mothers; it dawned on us that OUR mothers all worked, and kept house, and had children -- we'd never known anything different.

And OUR mothers didn't make a big deal out of it and whine and moan. They just did it. It really made me so thankful that I was raised like I was.

I do NOT understand a LOT of women, if these people are represenative of them. And I really do NOT understand women who "love" Bill Clinton and his ilk.

[smiley]

The NOW gals are just aged, old 70's hippies who never grew up. Can't stand NOW, never could, never will.

[joesnuffy]

Two of their "Award-ies" have a choke hold on Wisconsin Lt Governer Babs Lawton and Attorney General Peggy Lautenslager...and "The Only Openly Lesbian Member Of Congress" Tammy Baldwin

[Phantom Lord]

The RAT party has but 1 option available to them and 1 option only. They MUST position themselves as an opposition party and attempt to obstruct and defeat EVERYTHING that President Bush and the republicans do for the next 2 years. And ALL of their special interest organization will have to do the same. NOW, NEA, AFL-CIO, NAALCP, PFAW, etc... will have to be out there and in peoples faces constantly to try and get their opposition message out.

The RATS will be FORCED to move WAY LEFT by these organization and it is not going to be good for them on election day 2004. Especially with the current crop of presidential candidates they have. Gore, Lieberman, Sharpton, Kerry, Edwards, Hart, and now Gephardt. Their future doesnt look bright.

[blackdog]

NOW is not representive of most women. I think they are really just the Jesse Jackson's of the uterus. What they have been preying on is the guilt of most women who have had abortions. The NOW gang wants to make sure you still feel good about it. Send them a check for them to get on television and tell the world that killing your baby was a good thing and that they will make sure you should not feel guilty about it by calling it something else. The funny thing is that the women or girls who have had abortions do regret it and no matter what NOW says, it is a terrible thing in their mind. Stock in life has gone way up since the 70's. College students have never had a lower opinion of abortion than today. This is a good thing, a good trend, and one which will empty the cash accounts of NOW. That is what it is all about.

Ditto on the working mom experience. I came from a two parent family. My mom lied about her education to get her job. She said she graduated from Bryn Mawr of all places! The owner of the company knew she was lying but admired her for her tennacity. During the next thirty years she worked her way up from a secretary to a executive positions and finally on the company's board. She hated whining "victim" women. She had no time for them. I think a lot of women are like her today. They just don't have much to say because they are too busy working and raising their families. As the democrats found out though, they do vote.

My mom died of Lou Gherig's disease at the age of 62 in 1992. She never got to enjoy a retirement with her grandkids. I still carry her RNC gold membership card in my wallet for steering purposes.

[Let's Roll]

The big GOP win came just in time for these fading issues oriented organizations - this should help their fund raising - unless many of their supporters are finally "getting it" and realize even they think that partial birth abortion is going to far.

[Doctor Raoul]

Earth to Gandy, your abortion efforts have paid off. There are no NEW members to replace the five you have N.O.W.

[Doctor Raoul]

Will all those liberal women with abortions on lay-away at Planned Parenthood get a refund.

[Doctor Raoul]

I think they are really just the Jesse Jackson's of the uterus.

I'\m having a socialist moment here. I want to stael your line for my own use.

[Stand Watch Listen]

Is this any different than when all the homeless, the poor, the uninsured, the unemployed, the hungry, the disenfranchised, were REdiscovered 20 January 2001?

[Stand Watch Listen]

FYI...

NOW’s Membership and Budget Are Grossly Overinflated
