Emily's List called again today for money...

I told the woman that I would not donate again until there is a declared nominee for President.

She tried to tell me that they support all progressive Democratic woman candidates. She seemed a bit flustered when I told her Hillary Clinton was not progressive.

I told her no money.

A couple of years ago, we had a good woman, progressive and combat vet running for Congress in Clearwater. Emily's list withdrew their pledged support for her and got behind bankster and boring loser, Alex Sink. She had already lost the Governors race to Rick Scott. She was about the only candidate boring enough to accomplish that feat.

They're getting just like the rest of the New Dems as far as I'm concerned.

BTW, Sink lost that one in a landslide.

If it weren't for EMILY's List there wouldn't even be that many. They have been working for decades towards the little progress women have made cracking the political glass ceiling. Geesh.
