Don't hesitate to share this far 'n' wide!

Don't get HAD by the "No Labels" FRAUD!!!


"No Labels" my ass.

YAY! What great news!

I'm surprised parents like these get ANY sleep at all. And I say that as a parent, myself.

A well-deserved break for this family!

I totally get that. One would think this would have been settled - and settled long ago.

But NO!

These bastards won't give up. So that means WE CAN'T give up.

As long as they're there, trying to take our rights away, WE have to be there, too, meeting them at EVERY attack line, in EVERY attack space, and with EVERY strategy available.

And we have to remain on the lookout.

CONSTANT VIGILANCE!!! If it was good enough advice for Mad-Eye Moody to give to Harry Potter, it's good enough for us as a reminder to ourselves.

And he tries to develop a signature "look" with that no-jacket-ever strategy.

Yes, it sets him apart.

Yes, it's a way to get noticed.

Yes, it's a way to stick out.

And yes it's a way to single you out for your idiocy and mad-dog "look-at-ME!" ego.

Many of us recognize your game, dude. You may be fooling your own constituents, but you don't fool the rest of us.

Neither do I. NEVER EVER let down your guard with these fiends.

Gotta say, now that the GOP has gotten its hooks into taking away a woman's right to choose, how soon will some of them try expanding that to taking away a woman's right to vote? Women had to fight for THAT one, too.

Probably makes him feel powerful. More potent.

More "manly." Especially as he ages and maybe has more trouble in - um - well, let's just say "the bedroom."

So maybe we need to offer a correction! Instead of "Moms for Freedom"

it should be "Moms for TAKING AWAY Your Freedom".

Every time - and I do mean EVERY time - there's an opportunity to push the renaming of these people, the corrected labeling of these people, we should do it. We need to start taking EVERY an ANY opportunity to bring truth to labeling. Because "Moms for Freedom" is anything but.

One important thing here: this shows a level of devious thinking that WORKS for the bad guys.

It also shows how our side is NOT there yet.

And we need to be!

Democrats need to - indeed MUST - start thinking more deviously when up against headwinds like this.

MUST.

HAVE TO, HAVE TO, NEED TO.

About calimary

Female. Retired. Wife-Mom-Grandma. Approx. 30 years in broadcasting, at least 20 of those in news biz. Taurus. Loves chocolate - preferably without nuts or cocoanut. Animal lover. Rock-hound from pre-school age. Proud Democrat for life. Ardent environmentalist and pro-choicer. Hoping to use my skills set for the greater good. Still married to the same guy for 40+ years. Probably because he's a proud Democrat, too. Penmanship absolutely stinks, so I'm glad I'm a fast typist! I will always love Hillary and she will always be my President.
