Oh Hillary…Say it isn’t so!
ByI don’t know how we missed this last week but while reading my FT this morning they had an article on Hillary Clinton and the 2008 election. They mentioned how earlier in the week she had to defend a “$10,000 contribution made by her political action committee to Bob Casey, a Democratic candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania who opposes abortion”.
Bob Casey Jr.!!! The guy that the Washington Times back in March of 2005 said whose decision to run showed the “deepening divide within the Democratic Party, with some thinking that in order to reverse its current losing streak, the party must compromise on certain values issues that go to the heart of the party”.
I’m soooo surprised that the darling on the left Hillary would want to have someone in the Senate who is against abortion. Especially since this is the same Casey who’s father was a former Democrat Governor and pro lifer who was denied a speaking engagement at the 1992 Democratic convention because of his views.
As usual though, NOW and the rest of the left will surely find some good excuse why the tools of the party shouldn’t worry about it.
It's the end of the post, now what?

Quoting Rev. Sun Myung Moon’s Moonie Times. Vertucci I thought you were a little more reality-based like Brownell. Seems from your last posts you are more in tune with the Radical Right than I thought.
Harry Reid Minority LEADER is on the record as anti-choice, so this is not something new.
There are many proud strong women who vote on one issue (abortion), and there are others who believe a Democratic majority will do more to protect Reproductive rights than a candidate who is a Republican and is on the record as pro-choice (Snowe, Specter, Collins, Stevens, all dittoheads who voted for sweaty cross-eyed anti-choice Alito).
There is disagreement among women, but Casey is phenomenal on Unions, worker rights, gay rights, civil liberties, civil rights, healthcare, Social Security, personal freedom and other privacy issues that are core Democratic principles.
I’d prefer Casey be pro-choice, but he’s met with women right’s groups and many of my NARAL friends believe its trench warfare and the extremist radical misogynistic views espoused by Santorum must be stopped. casey is good 8 outof 10 issues – and I believe a majority is important (and Reid has been great as Leader), so I’ll hedge my bets on Casey.
There’s an article in the New Yorker from a few months ago showing how some pro-choice women are supporting Casey. Lexis-Nexis it it will give you a better understanding cause you seem to not have a grasp of the fact that anti-choice and pro-choice candidates exist in both parties and not all women have a one-issue test and understand tehy need to look at things strategically.

Ok.
Enlighten me on how Casey is “phenomenal on unions”. Please tell. Hell, throw in his work on gay rights while you’re at it.

Google is your friend.
Look it up.

Something told me you would try and dodge the question.

Interesting you can’t Google the Human Rights Campaign and AFL-CIO press releases endorsing Casey for Senate which shows his positive record in these two areas.
I guess you need a woman to do your work for you.

I took a minute to go to the AFL-CIO website for PA to read up on their endorsement of Bob Casey and I was so impresses. They mention how
“As Auditor General and State Treasurer, he has built a solid record of support and leadership on behalf of working families. Bob Casey believes, as we do, that government’s purpose is to promote the well-being of all citizens, and not more giveaways and favors to big corporations and the well-connected”.
Funny how they don’t bother mentioning any examples of his “solid record”. It’s even funnier how they mention how they’re against big corporate favors but had know problem taking billions of dollars in steel tariffs from President Bush that allowed all those PA steel workers to keep their jobs.
My favorite is how they claim how PA is “headed in the wrong direction”, meanwhile the latest unemployment figures for PA show that PA has an unemployment rate of 4.9%, below the 5% that is considered full employment.
You talk about writing things without any weight and that endorsement fits the bill. That endorsement was allot of nothing except confirmation that if Casey needs the AFL’s pockets to get elected and if he does they will be the ones pulling the strings.

Nothing ever satisfies a dittohead.

What’s the matter Meghan, surprised I read the AFL press release? I’m disappointed, I was hoping you would fill in the blanks that the AFL left in their press release. I really am trying to find that “solid record”, so far I see President Bush doing more for PA steelworkers than Casey.

As I said, nothing ever satisfies a dittohead.

(who knows Bush’s steel tariffs were largely political to garner the West Virginia and Pennsylvania vote down the line.)
