Reply #13: "Shut up" would have been FINE with me. Even most thinking BO supporters feel that way. [View All]

My only point was, if you were to judge them on the actual issue, Clinton IS plainly the better choice. She has more of a record, her record has no "present" votes in it, and she has stood up when it was tough to do so.

I didn't aver that NARAL "had" to endorse anyone. I simply noted that they didn't make their endorsement based on facts.


Only crazed, rabid partisans (or McCain supporters) think what Keenan did was a) A good idea; b) Well timed; or c) needed. It's like Keenan is a closeted operative for "Right to Life" and the McCain campaign rolled into one.

Of COURSE the organization is going to support the Democrat. That's a foregone conclusion. An "after the convention" endorsement wouldn't have alienated the vast majority of their membership, and it would have been a good time to troll for donations, too. But this action was IDIOTIC. They inserted themselves into an ongoing primary battle, and they're going to pay--in real dollars, in real donations, and for a long, long time--for their stupidity.

Hopefully, this will be one more big red X on Keenan's report card. She's an idiot; she needs to GO. About the only way they can recover is for the board to toss her ass--quickly would be good- and replace her with someone who pledges to remain "ISSUES based" and not be so eager to place a bet on what looks, now anyway, to be the horse ahead in the race. All her actions did was piss off probably the MAJORITY of their membership--those plain, "low information" middle aged, working class women who send that ten or twenty dollar check that is the bread and butter of that outfit. See, I rather doubt all those male college students who are hoot-hoot-hooting for Obama are regular contributors to NARAL, either at the state or national level. And I rather doubt they EVER will be.

Makes ya wonder who Keenan is really working for. I just can't imagine that anyone who wants to see a Democrat in the White House could possibly be that STUPID.
