Well, If the STFU Fits (A Cautionary Tale)
By NanceGreggs, on February 20th, 2012



It took me a while (duh!) to realize this, but being as the GOP has had its head up its ass for a while now, they may be totally unaware of the facts. So in an effort to reach across the aisle and slap some sense into the senseless, I will state the following…

Women VOTE. It was a hard-won battle to secure that right, but it has been a reality since 1920.

And that’s just the women. If we add in the men who stand with their wives, mothers, sisters and daughters, we’re talking about a lot of people who VOTE.

While the Republican Party parties on, women will VOTE with their own self-worth and hard-won rights uppermost in their minds – and all of those in opposition to same will be left to their own self-serving, and ultimately self-defeating, devices.

I have long viewed the Republican party as out-of-touch, ignorant, ill-informed, and incredibly stupid. But when they decided to pick this particular fight, I finally realized that they’re all truly bat-shit crazy.

This November’s elections will be a great day for the Democrats – and we can thank the GOP for helping us achieve our goal of defeating the knuckle-dragging, self-righteous, pseudo-Christians who just couldn’t shut the fuck up before it was too late to do so.

They still have their claws in many "unsuspecting" voters that may be drawn to their claims of "God's chosen", "moral", "America-loving", "Family supporting", "Anti-abortion", "Anti-gay", pedigree.

We can never underestimate them.... They must be destroyed.
