What Does It Take?

I just got off the phone with NARAL and I am being told that they do not consider Chaffee’s vote on cloture to be significant. They are not going to pull their support for him over this.
Let’s just be clear. Lincoln Chaffee is getting ready to vote for the single biggest blow to choice in this country since Roe v. Wade was passed 33 years ago. This ridiculous little kabuki about voting AGAINST Alito and FOR cloture is a sham, and if NARAL is going to look the other way they no longer deserve to be the guardians of a woman’s right to choose in this country.
They had the money. They had the manpower. They did not organize effectively to oppose Alito’s confirmation, and now they are rubber stamping his ascendancy to the Supreme Court.
Uh, remember me talking about the conference call, the one where I ended up screaming, “What the fuck are you people thinking?” One of the principals on the call was from NARAL.
They’re so out of touch, they need a compass to wipe their ass.
Linc may vote against Alito, but I’m still changing my registration to Republican to vote aginst him in the primary (unless he switches parties). As long as he’s there to vote for Frist (or his replacement), he can’t represent me regardless of the number of votes I may agree with.
It’s a strange day indeed when I and the Club for Growth are in agreement….
