Hilary Rosen Says Something Stupid, Even Worse She Misses The Point

Let’s begin with what Rosen said: During an appearance on CNN Wednesday night, Democratic commentator Hilary Rosen questioned whether Ann Romney was qualified to be talking about women’s economic issues since she’s “never worked a day in her life.” Like I said… stupid.  Rosen then doubles down: Spare me the faux anger from the right […]

Filed in National by on April 11, 2012 47 Comments

On a conference call with reporters Wednesday morning, campaign aides for Gov. Mitt Romney were unable to say affirmitively whether Romney supports the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

Filed in National by on April 10, 2012 5 Comments

Uhrig said Zimmerman has taken his own steps since they lost contact with him on Sunday, including; 1) Setting up his own website under a different Web address than what the attorneys had arranged with him; 2) Speaking to Fox News’ Sean Hannity by phone, apparently off the record (“(Hannity) is not willing to tell us what our client told him”); and 3) Calling the special prosecutor’s office directly, as opposed to through his attorneys, and offering to come in and answer investigators’ questions (The prosecutor’s office told Zimmerman that they weren’t going to talk to him without counsel, Uhrig said).

Laws Affect People, Not Abstract Concepts

Hi DL. I’m Mrs. XStryker. Some of you know me already. I’m not a very vocal member of this community and in that light I’d like to thank the rest of the contributors for allowing me to post this guest blog. Something has to be done on behalf of women who think this will never happen to them. I know I was certainly one of them.

President Obama has emerged with an impressive lead in swing states around the country — thanks to women voters abandoning the GOP in droves, according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll showing President Obama leading among women voters in the top dozen battleground states by a whopping 18 points — greater than the 12-point gender gap he won with in 2008.

Stand Your Ground Law, Meet The Bar Scene

Stand Your Ground Law, Meet The Bar Scene

I am sure almost every woman has a story to tell, here is one of mine…

I was 25 and having drinks with friends at Harpoon Hannah’s (yeah, I know.). A man approached our table and asked me to dance. I thanked him for the offer, but declined. I even offered an excuse, “I’m hanging out with friends tonight. I haven’t seen them in a while, but thank you.” Frankly, my “no, thank you” should have been enough, but I get that approaching a stranger and asking them to dance can be difficult, so I always tried to be kind. Can anyone guess what happened next?

What If Buying A Gun Required The Same Restrictions As Getting An Abortion?

Filed in National by on March 30, 2012 10 Comments

Why don’t gun buyers have to follow the same rules women are forced to follow? Wait 48 hours after applying. View on ultrasound of a body with a bullet in it.

After all that, if a person still wants a gun, he or she can buy one. Why should buying a gun be any easier than having an abortion?”

Filed in National by on March 29, 2012 40 Comments
