CHARLOTTE, N.C. - You only have to step outside the Democratic National Convention center in downtown Charlotte where vendors and special interest groups are hawking their goods to realize that the Democrats have become the party of hard-edged social issues, not the GOP.
While the Republicans have largely tried to follow former Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels' suggestion that they stick to economic issues, the Democrats have gone hog wild on social issues like abortion, contraception and same sex marriage.
Consider the dozens of pink-shirted Planned Parent representatives. As the crowds stroll by, they yell out "Get your 'Protect yourself from Romney and Ryan condom,'" as they hand out pink condom packages with a single condom appropriately dyed blue.
"Everybody is pleasant," said Planned Parenthood hawker Alissa Hanan, of Asheville, N.C., who shyly held one up for a picture.
Abortion is also a big topic with convention goers, especially those who supported Sandra Fluke, the former college student whose congressional testimony supporting government backing of contraception was hit by conservative talker Rush Limbaugh.
Aspen, Colorado delegate Blanca O'Leary, for example, sported a "Sluts Vote," button, a reference to the word Limbaugh used to describe Fluke. Said O'Leary, "All women should have the right to birth control."
One shouldn’t call these leftist women SLUTS....they are IGNORANT SLUTS!!
Not to mention the Godless anti-Semites.
Sounds just like the Occupy Wall Street folks.
I sort of wonder about the planning of the DNC placing Bill Clinton and Sandra Fluke on the same platform discussing how to distribute free condoms.
(in a Bill Clinton voice,....Sandra,...Ah think we need to more closely look at this,....)
Thanks lbryce.
But, in a way, it’s a real shame. Of all the words that have managed to keep their original, unvarnished, unpoliticized, unspun meanings, “slut” shines. And it’s “offensive” precisely because the meaning persists. Even so, Sandra Fluke/Fluck and all her fans surpass it.. Maybe Messalina needs to become an improper noun..
The demoncrat party is the party of moochers, looters, union thugs, sodomites and Marxists.
Perhaps we should say that the Democrat Party is the Sodom and Gomorrah of today?
It’s not about birth control or preventing STD’s, it’s about mean being conditioned to be willing to enjoy sex less while women still receive the full benefit.
Whoops!...that should’ve read, “...it’s about men being conditioned to be willing to enjoy sex less while women still receive the full benefit.” (whistles and walks away)
The democrats forgot to have Gloria Allard the famous slut attorney speak. She has a disdain for men having sexual relations with more than their wife except for Clinton, Edwards, Kennedy. She should start looking for women that democrat politicians have abused.
What has happened to our country? We now have sluts being a good term to use? Socialist and Communist openly waving their flags and banners while marching around? Muslim prayer being included in the DNC convention events, but a Christian closing prayer gets booed and cussed at? Unbelievable and may God have mercy on us for allowing this to happen.
