I seem to make the Democratic Party look bad. Do you?

Gee, seems if you are 100% behind a woman's right to make decisions about her own body, her private life, her own medical care, and her own reproductive plans...you're just like religious right "nuts"...and you make the Democratic Party look bad!. Oh, and you're a zealot to boot!

Isn't that special?

1. Me too

But apparently these Vichy Dems who are willing to sell me out in return for a few votes are A-OK.

:sarcasm:

Fuckers.

[Solly Mack]

3. Yes, those are the good Dems

Unreal. The crap I read on this board from time to time. Selling people out to get a vote and still being called "hysterical" more or less when we fight for our rights.

A few years ago on DU I used the term Vichy Dem and caused quite the stir. Bless you! :)

7. It's a phrase

That my betrothed, also a DUer, uses on a fairly regular basis. So don't feel like you're all alone in making the comparison.

:hi:

8. I just love seeing it!

2. That's why I keep telling them

that my most basic right to self determination is not negotiable. If they cavalierly try to toss it aside in the name of political expediency I will vote Green or write in Socialist.

The party already is starting to realize it can't win without its working class base. It's time to let them know beyond any shadow of doubt that it can never win anything without its women.

There is NO WAY I'm going to waste my precious vote on another asshole who thinks womens' rights are less important than his own. NO WAY.

4. and they do need us!

I agree with you 100%!!!!!

You damn zealot! How dare you support equal rights...the nerve!

9. Thanks for posting that...

what an interesting read ...

I just don't know what to do about all these people that are willing to sell out the rights of others ! :grr:

Here are some of my "favorites" from that thread:
*********************************************************
"Exactly the response I expect from a zealot
Abortion is not and never should be a "core principle." Roe has been an anchor around the neck of the Dem party since it was issued.

The thing that always amazes me is how little pro-choice advocates know about the issue. It is not a civil rights issue, and Roe v. Wade is an absolutely horrid piece of legal nonsense."

"Its not a big deal, unless you listen to the zealots on this board

I don't get it either. These people are unwilling to give an inch. I imagine they would support an abortion for a 10 year old without parental notice."
************************************************************
And the reply about what "inches" of theirs they would be willing to sacrifice was especially enjoyable.

But what are we to do?
Run around here banging our heads over and over while being called extremists ??

:shrug:

10. It does get frustrating to read some of the remarks

and I often wonder why choice even has to be defended on a "democratic" board...

Most times I read the ignorance and just snort...

I snort a lot here lately :)
