4. My husband was disgusted and insulted as a man who respects Women..
...something * wouldn't know the first thing about...

I went to those links and just can't believe that they are so shameless, but hey, nothing surprises me anymore with these shameless liars....

I did go to the link and sign the petition...so did my husband...

Ugh...what's next - W is for Welfare? (Yeah, we help Welfare Folks-NOT) W is for Well-being? (Yeah, America, your better off because of us-NOT?)

10. More like "W stands for (Evangelical) White Women"....
...Rove & Co. don't care about single mothers, minority women, retired women etc. Like the report says, they just want those church going "Soccer Moms" driving the Hummers and making sure they vote for them....

Good news is that there is a great campaign called 1000flowers.org that is countering and targeting the "other" women that Chimpy doesn't like...

12. Laura needs to be asked some questions.
1. What does she think about federally funded daycare for working mothers particularly single mothers?

2. What does she think about children under eighteen having a Medicare program for them that covers their needs?

3. What does she think about sex education for teenagers, particularly teenage girls that cover contraception, std's and making such aids available to them?

4. What does she think about women in prison because they killed or assaulted a male husband or father who abused them?

Add to this list, if you like, I have so many others but it's too late at night for me. I get the impression that Laura thinks every woman should be happy to have a little string of pearls if she gets married, produces two little kids and keeps her mouth shut.

They pulled this stunt in 2000. This time, to use one of The Big Dog's quotes, "it will sink faster than a turd in a well."

28. this is incredible--I am disgusted more
It is the way of the propaganda--no one will call him on it. Further no one will call Laura on it, because she is dear, fragile, sweet and a national comfortor and we should not pick on her because she has nothing to do with the running of the government.

The very first thing Bush did , the day after taking the oath of office, I think, was slap women in the face, actually did harm to them, and remove US aide money to those women's health clinics, worldwide, that mention abortion to poor women seeking health care and information. :cry:


From the posts I see here incredibly defending Reagan and villifying those who are expressing their disdain of him, I only hope that someone with some degree of ability to see reality and to articulate that seizes and holds onto the moral imperative that he or she must record all of the evil Bush has done before the next generation ends up praising him like many who praise Reagan.

He and his frumpass have left a trail of rotting debris all over this country and all over the world and continues to do so, but the tactic has changed. The Bush ministry of propaganda is indeed working nights and overtime.

Now, it seems, he, stupid Bush, is a statesman with a "strong" wife who has brought freedom to the middle east and people will buy it. People will adore him--we let it happen and those with an ability to see through it, plainly, are shackled, bullied and run over by this million dollars propaganda.-


I understand a little better now how and why Bush most certainly will get away with it, after reading some of the Reagan threads here and that outrages me.

He is the most evil person we have ever had sitting in the White House. I am willing to bet there will be people, even here on DU that will defend him in spite of his murders and his lies and his path of destruction. I am also willing to bet he is priming Jenna Bush for insertion into government somewhere in order to keep the evil Bush dynasty going.

Especially when he dies-and when he does, if I am alive, I will piss on his grave and I will come to DU and tell all the goody shoes that will be here defending him, to go pound salt.

Hopefully, less idiots this time around - women tend to be more aware of being taken for granted.

33. Bush* considers women to be "Just a Lump in the Bed"
All you women that would even consider voting for him should consider how he truly feels. This was "supposedly" said in an intimate love poem with his most sincere feelings on display. "A Lump in the Bed" How belittling can you get?

36. He means P is for women!
So much has been written about George W. Bush and his new emphasis on Christian and Family Values, I can't help but think of my favorite GW quote. At the Republican National Convention in 1988, {George W. Bush} was asked by a Hartford Courant reporter about what he and his father talked about when they weren't talking about politics.

"Pussy," Bush replied.
(I'm sure he was referring to cats.)
