"Concerned women" say sexism, racism behind 'phony filibusters'

WASHINGTON, May 11 /Christian Wire Service/ -- Concerned Women for America (CWA) says sexist politics and exploitive racism are the real reasons the Democrats are refusing to permit votes on President Bush's judicial nominees....

"The Democrats willingly sacrificed a stellar minority nominee in a blatant attempt to hold on to a segment of their political base," said Jan LaRue, CWA's chief counsel....


LaRue

This nation will never be America until we free ourselves from all forms of discrimination. It is a continuing, ongoing march to progress, and we are not going to turn back by appointing judges to lifetime positions who will bring us and return us back to those days of discrimination and prejudice. And that is what we believe the decisions of two of the nominees that are coming before the United States, Janice Rogers Brown, as well as the Terrence Boyle decisions, will bring us.

"Kennedy's pretense as a heroic advocate for the civil rights movement while refusing to allow an up or down vote on Judge Rogers Brown is hypocrisy on steroids," LaRue concluded. "Democrats can't stand to lose their traditional hold on the black vote. They're trashing the reputations and distorting the records of excellent nominees and failing miserably to fulfill their constitutional duty in the process. It's also why they're attacking Priscilla Owen. Democrats lost the married women's vote in the last election and they fear losing the rest of female voters in the next, if they allow the president to appoint a woman to the bench."

7. Funny how the leader of a supposed women's organization

is a man....

& the way the use minorities/women is disgusting and racist/sexist... to the repuglicans it doesn't matter if they're qualified or would do a good job... they pick them specifically because of their race or gender and then accuse anyone who opposes them of being racist/sexist

4. THAT is one seriously weird argument.

:puke:


Actually, if CWA gets its way and women's rights are rolled back about 100 years, women will RUN to the left as fast as they can.

5. Like all repuke spokespersons, she is a lying piece of caca

How many times have we heard this? Anytime an Uncle Tom is appointed by a repuke the Dems are racists to apose them. Never mind that the Uncle Tom is a right wing idiot.

Go to hell repukes!

I sware that woman is in the picture is full of anal tension. She could use one of those personal massage instruments with some of those bunny batteries that keep on going!

6. Right wing playing the race/gender card

I thought they were supposed to be against that! What total hypocrisy.
