Slog - Comments on Quit It, NOW! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/quit_it_now The Washington Post reports that the National Organization for Women has distributed an email to its membership repeating the thoroughly discredited claim that Obama is weak on abortion rights: A national women's rights group supporting Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) distributed an e-mail yesterday accusing Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) of being soft on abortion rights, revisiting an eleventh-hour attack that some analysts credited with swaying female voters in New Hampshire. The e-mail from Rosemary J.

Pisses me off.

This primary campaign is going to wreck the party to the point where if the GOP comes even close to getting it's shit together THE REPUBLICANS COULD STILL WIN NO MATTER WHO THE DEMOCRATS CHOOSE.

Thank you NOW, thank you!! Your the greatest thing for the Democrats since the Dixicrat insurgency in 1948!

Find out where the rubber meets the road, and donate there. All these other groups are just hot air factories. Some of them, like the NY and CT NOWs, are actively poisonous.

NPCA gives no dollars to state NARAL chapters - in fact NPCA actively siphons local dollars away from the state chapters doing the hard ground work for local pro-choice candidates and legislation.

You can give money directly to the local Seattle NOW chapter, they're good folks.

They're doing this because Hillary wants them to do it.

Exactly.

National NARAL jumped the shark with Lieberman and also with Chafee (sp - Chaffee? don't remember. Former liberal Republican Senator from Rhode Island).

They don't seem to get the idea that if the Republicans are in charge - even if some of them are individually pro-choice - they control the committees, and that greatly ups the chances of pro-life judges and FDA appointments and so on.
