Bitter Clingers Do Vote (Psssttt.... Some of us are atheists, who don't even own guns.)

Anglachel NAILS IT about us "bitter clingers."

From the link:

But the Stevensonians have reified the concept of racism into a demographic - the bitter white working class - and have identified that group as the traitors to the good and the just, the filthy apes who once were true to the party but followed the siren call of Reagan racism and now delight in their infamy. The proof of this betrayal is that they voted for another Bubba when given a chance, someone all the Very Serious People know was trying to rise out of his place. The wretched, bitter Bunkers, clinging to guns and God, they are doing The Precious in. Never mind, as per Bartel and Krugman, that the working class whites were the least likely to defect from the Democratic party and were the first to return when offered something material.

By "Stevensonians" I assume Anglachel is referring to the Obamacrats. As a sort of "new Stevensonian." Because boy does that description fit them. (They do insult us mid-westerners with relish.)

But I've got news for the Stevensonian Obamacrats....

"Bitter Clingers" vote! Every year. (Unlike their fly-by-night "Obama coalition.")

And we're fightin' mad.

And... well...

Well, heckie darn, some of us are atheists who don't even own guns.

Women Holding On In Washington, N.O.W. Increasingly Irrelevant, Woman Poll Worker Harassed by Bigots

Anna Belle Pfau sets the record straight. And then goes on to explain why it is important for parity that we, as women, embrace and work with BOTH political parties.

I mean... did you even know that seven Republican women candidates were pro-choice? (If you were waiting for N.O.W. to tell you, no wonder you were confused.)

But, see... here's what happens when women REALLY vote on issues that matter to us and abandon loyalty to their Dem party masters.

We GAIN political leverage...

From the TGW link:

"Obama won women by 13 points in 2008. In 2010, Republicans won 12 percent of the women who voted for Obama in 2008. This is the best the GOP has done with women since 1982."

(No surprise there... for those of us who have been watching closely.)

Quoting one of Anna Belle's tweets about the irrelevancy of N.O.W.:

"Has Terry O'Neill lost her mind? Women voted in the exact same numbers they did in 2008. They just broke evenly this time."

Interesting..... you'd never know it by listening to the MSM talking heads (including NPR and PBS) would you?

Oh... and... just in case you are still under the mistaken impression that the GOP turned out *all* the bigots this year... read this women's story of being an Asian Immigrant and a GOP poll worker. Author, Sasha Gong, was harassed and repeatedly told how little she knew by poll workers from, guess where? The Democratic party. Her account of the bigotry she experienced Tuesday will enrage you!

She ends her article saying that her story "pretty much summarized the story of many in the TEA party."

It's been the story for us PUMAs as well, Dr. Gong. I guess we are in good company?!

This Evening's Celebratory Brew...

In celebration of the Sexist Bloodsuckers on the Left... and the Right.

Directions: drink BEFORE you watch the returns.

Stay Home, Don't Vote? ....Not Sure What To Say Except... No Wonder....

.... there's no policy change for the civil rights of GLBT citizens.

And, no wonder .... Dem women are losing ground.

And, no wonder the Dem electorate can't understand the White House's message about why they should vote. (Against the Chamber of Commerce, WTF?)

One has to conclude, at this point, that the President's handlers are deliberately throwing 2010. So that he won't have to take all the blame from here on out. Cuz if they shut down the gay vote, the women's vote and the Blue Dawg vote... they will lose big time.

GOTV is now SHDV? "Stay Home Don't Vote?"

With friends like these who needs enemies?

Has anyone looked at Christine O'Donnell's Shoes?

Seriously.

I don't care who she is, or what she believes. No woman, in the United States in 2010, should have to introduce herself in this way.

Even if she is simply mocking her mockers.

Nowhere to Go in This Upcoming Election, Sorry to Disappoint

Like Femisex, SYD simply cannot abide the Politics of sucking up to Religious Fundies.

Of any stripe.

Which means, essentially, that I have nowhere to go in the upcoming election.

This weekend, so far, I have been visited by the Democratic party (at my door) twice. They are polling to see if we plan to vote.

DH tells them he's not voting at all. And I tell them "only for women."

Needless to say.... it didn't go over well. Wonder if they'll be back today???
