"Some might ask". Trying to cover his ass even as he espoused these oppressive viewpoints. http://www.cafepress.com/scarebaby/654252

3. Why is any Democrat being sympathetic toward this idiot |
|
and saying we should support him.
It is the beginning of the end for women's rights as we know them if this guy gets his seat.
Why won't people open their damned eyes?

4. Sounds like he and Santorum share the same views on women... |
|
Barefoot and pregnant, yep, that's the natural order. Although, the women (and men) studying the "unscience" of intelligent design certainly won't qualify for any ivy league schooling either.
Disgusting.

...if you're using yourself as an example, I'd say it isn't. Now encouraging them to be doctors, well, that's a different story!

9. Why'd he have to go and use lawyers as the example? |
|
I could think of a lot of careers that would be better than being a lawyer!
Trick question.

10. The real question is "will Roberts sitting on the SC will contribute to |
|
the common good?" Roberts' remarks seem to have already answered that question.

12. Please note the date: 1985, not 1955 or even 1965 |
|
But our fine elected Dems can't seem to find any really good reasons to oppose him sufficiently.

The more that comes out about this guy, the more they have to attack and they should launch a full frontal assault on his record.
