they've decided they're going to decide the narrative and just go with it. To hell with reality. I'm so sick of this crap.

Barely a word about Lyin Ryan's fake photo op. Imagine if Obama or Biden had done that.

I remember all the hell that was raised about the sneakers that Mrs. O worse while serving the homeless. That was the story, not that they were serving the homeless her freakin' sneaks. WTF?!?!

They're flocking, I tell you. Dozens of them land in the lake behind our house every nice. I can hear them flocking..."MITT MITT MITT" they shriek, and leave big Mitt turds all over the yard. I swear, they're flocking. They're flocking crazy.

Pretty much the only ones answering polls.

That's my working theory anyway. I can't imagine younger women going for that ticket. Of course, older white women will vote. Let's hope younger women show up this year.

I'm pretty damn sure that there are women of different age groups that are staunch Republicans.

Just as there are women of different age groups voting for Obama.

It's just simply not true. In fact it is about as true and reliable as Mitt Romney's word.

Here those are the female supporters of the R/R ticket. It's mostly because of Ryan and not Romney, too.

This is example #381 why I don't watch infotainment cable "news" programs. They're full of crap, and not even entertaining to me.

Basic Training in less than a month. She WANTS contraception to be denied to her to make as many babies as possible? She WANTS to be deployed as a National Guard to Iran, Syria, Yeman, Egypt? My older lesbian daughter WANTS a gay cure so she she won't marry her lesbian fiance, and marry a MAN instead?

Me as a Senior woman? I want my daughters and their younger "sisters" to have the RIGHTS TODAY that I didn't have as a young woman.

Or that women are flocking to be subservient, or second class citizens, or beaten, raped and degraded.

Yeah, right.
