Hitting bottom - America's wake up call - again - and - again
Edited on Tue Jul-19-05 11:45 PM by helderheid
Don't take today's news as bad. It's going to take shit going down. It's going to take America hitting rock bottom. Hell, we're swirling down the drain, we ain't got no place to go but up!

This is one more battle - but don't forget the others. We need to keep this stuff in their faces - SCOTUS, DSM/ROVE, Torture, Ohio, privatization of our voting, Gannon/Guckert, ALL of it - NEVER GIVE UP.

1. Oh, and fighting Roberts IS worth it
I won't stand for an America where my government dictates what happens to my daughters body.

7. People don't realize that once you give up women's body rights,
you essentially give away ALL human/privacy rights.


WAKE UP, PEOPLE. STOP BEING IDIOTS.

Edited on Wed Jul-20-05 12:14 AM by seabeyond
it is not i that have given up on womens right and how dare you suggest i have. it is the voters and the people of this nation that have decided to elect bush that did that. and how dare you try to pin it on me.

you feel you will do something with a filibuster. and if a dem doesnt agree with you, you will be all over their ass. saying the same shit to them that you are saying to me, and anyone else that doesnt agree with you. give up on womens rights. i have been fuckin fightin for women and their rights my lifetime. how dare you

i also feel, you elected a fuckin repug right wing fundie playing president, he is going to get a sc pick of his choice. why WE didnt want the ass elected

then there will be the threats, that is it, i am done with the dems, i am outta here, screw them, how dare they give up n womens rights.

this is just fucked. and i resent it. who the hell are you to tell me, i give up on womens right

what happens when a repug gets to be president. be pissed at him. and quit calling me names and saying stupid stuff

when i voted for kerry, people said, then you arent christian, american, a patriot.

i am tired of this shit of other people telling me who i am

18. ok well if you support women's rights,
then show it. fight with every ounce of your being, if you really mean it, starting with someone who is anti-choice, anti-affirmative action, and anti-consumer.

20. look at women bush voters...
i'd say they have a typically self-hating record, don't you think?

sad how a guy is fighting harder for women's rights than some women on here.

9. People have been saying we've hit rock bottom for quite sometime
Each time it feels like we've hit rock bottom, another layer of rock breaks off.

13. Ain't that the truth?
There always seems to be a few more feet left to fall. I'm tired of it. This guy must be challenged. No compromise. Too much is at stake, women's rights, gay rights, the environment. Enough is enough.

23. While the pendulum swings, maintain your integrity so that you can
hit it on the upswing.
