The Great Armando©

Finally, I noticed more than a few bloggers who enjoyed raking Markos over the coals for his saying he was not going to sweat the "pie ad" and would concentrate on the important stuff had no blogging on Roberts today. Love that commitment to women's issues from those bloggers.

Well, guess what. This IS the important stuff. And guess again -- Markos gave me carte blanche to blog Roberts throughout the day.

I hope folks remember that when they are again tempted to attack daily kos as lacking commitment to women and their rights.

Because that is bullshit.

Oh yeah lets get some of that sterling armando commitment to women's issues. Of course if you wait a day you'll soon see the commitment only exists in his fat fucking head.

Armando sells out your reproductive rights

I just watched the press conference held by the Dem Congressional Leadership -- Sen. Reid and Rep. Pelosi, with invited guests Missisippi Democratic Congressmen Gene Taylor and Bennie Thompson, and I must say that Taylor was incredibly good. Just outstanding.

Certainly, Reid and Pelosi were fine and made good points. I did not get to see Thompson. But Taylor was off the charts good. Really unbelievably good discussing the issues. He discussed details with great intelligence and charisma. He really struck me as a guy who could make his points in common sense human terms and could lay out real understandable criticisms that would surely be meaningful to the common man. An outstanding performance.

So here is a proposal -- let Gene Taylor be the principal Democratic spokesperson for Democrats on the Katrina response by the federal government. Taylor told anecdotes that just really grabbed you. He told his stories compellingly, emotionsllly snd strongly.

Gene Taylor is a Democrats for Life All Star.

Outside of the Republican Party, there's no one worse than Gene.

Gene Taylor voted against the Davis amendment and DENIED a navy wife with a dead baby in her tummy an abortion at government expense. How's that for rewarding american servicepeople?

Gene Taylor supports federal TRAP laws. He shows us his position with his vote. This bill, written and promoted by the most vile republican woman imaginable (more on this later when post updates) is aided and abetted by Mr Taylor.

Armando supports Gene Taylor. Gene Taylor does not support your reproductive rights nor your progressive agenda. Ask yourself, does Armando really support women's issues? or does he just like to FEEL GOOD WHEN HE GOES TO BED after telling himself lies about how progressive he is?

Armando mouths about supporting women's issues one day, and then he turns around and recommends and empowers a woman's enslaver the next. He must choose one or the other, he cannot support women's reproductive rights AND the pol Gene Taylor.

I AM ATTACKING DailyKos as lacking commitment to women's issues. I say they do nothing but MOVE THE LIPS! Armando is no progressive. He's nothing but a flunky, a party hack.

And make no mistake about this, if you're a woman, Daily Kos does not give a shit about you. So you better just STFU and vote the way the great armando© says.

Or come over to our side and lets talk about how democrats used to be progressive, but no longer are. They're just republican light.

We're going to find a way to do something about it.

Oh and Armando? Ted Kennedy is holding for your call ::::not::::
