Why I Love the EMILY's List 'Mama Grizzlies' Ad

Just thought I'd add my personal opinion, but I thought this was one of the silliest and most sophomoric attempts at a political ad I've seen. Dressing up in a costume and playing the clown is not a great way to make a political statement, regardless of what some in the intelligentsia might think.

Call them pro lifers, mama grizzlies, feeinist, or whatever, the single common denominator to this argument pits the baby killers against those who revere life. It is sacred, and is not to be destroyed by any one. Especially the mothers.

This is all strictly reactionary. You are letting Palin have the upper hand, the ad was idiotic and only makes viewers want to know wha the hubub is all about and go looking for the Palin speech. Us libs must quit presenting our- selves as hipocrits. We are defacto saying "everyone is entitled to speak out and have an opinion but only if everyone thinks as we do" by our actions of attacking anyone with a different opinion. So lets just stop and present our idea's for consideration and debate. We are weakening our position by not competing in the realm of idea's. If our idea's are stronger the debate will be won.

Lighten up Emily's list. I think the ad is an attention-getter and in good taste. And it gets the Emily's list message out there, effectively. What more could you ask for?

Nice distortion of the actual facts. Let's see: 1) the president can't unilaterally end abortion ( did it happen under Reagan or either of the Bush's?), 2) when did Republicans ever say that they wanted to end unemployment?, 3) when did Republicans ever say that they wanted to end funding to the states for education? Yeah the costumes were cute but the commentary was pure fear-mongering. But why should facts get in the way of a political commentary.

Honestly I don't see why the ability to choose if you have an abortion or not is up for debate. This is a free country correct? Its not up to some political figure to decide what woman do with there body. I would personally prefer not to ever have an abortion but sometimes there are certain circumstances. Even if they do outlaw it women will do it illegally like they have done for many years before it was legalized . Making it legal just makes it safer.

We want Emily to keep up this type of advertizing through the 2012 elections. It is just great and is so representive of the Obama adminstration. It looks just foolish, bewildered, and incompetent. They are so totally appropriate so go Emily.

Sarah Palin, Certainly does not speak for my age group either I am 69 years old..Get with it Sarah...I am a real mother, you should try it Sarah.

Emily's List, now there is an organization I would want to join. Very mature and concerned about lives. I think not! Abortion is killing period. There is no changing or making it pretty. If you don't want a baby keep your legs together.

Palin only backs women who think the same way she does. If they don't, she vilifies them as essentially evil. That's not my idea of feminism. I mind my own business and couldn't care less what other people, men or women, do with their personal lives as long as it's not hurting me or my family directly and that extends from the inner workings of their biology outwards into the broader world. Homosexuals don't hurt me or my family. A woman using birth control or having an abortion doesn't hurt me or my family. Women advocating for healthcare help my family. Women advocating for equal rights helps my family. Women who live and let live without forcing dogma down other women's throats rock. As one of the heroes of the right. Limbaugh calls women who don't kiss men's butts feminazis. However, no left leaning feminazi ever said you have to HAVE an abortion or HAVE to use birth control, you're NOT ALLOWED to have a baby, are EVIL if you are homosexual, have to TAKE equal pay/access to jobs and education. That is what the right leaning feminazis would force upon other women. The left leaning feminazis let women live the lives THEY want, as opposed to the right leaning feminazis that want women to live the lives THEY think they should be living. Well excuse me, but I think I'm on the side of the women who encourage me to be what I want and live the way I want, not Palin's side where I'd have to live the way others want me to live. There is a lot of male influence, religious and social, on the other side and it smells a lot like a rotten Denmark. Palin made a 'choice' to have a mentally retarded child. Good for her. She has the resources and now has plenty of money for some one else to take care of him when she isn't available. But, letting some other woman have the same 'choice' isn't allowed unless they 'choose' to be forced to give birth. What I don't understand is why all the churchy people who oppose abortion just don't mind their own business and let their god deal with all these 'awful' women when they die? Are they afraid that their god may not mete out retribution to the extant that they think 'he' should? Are they doubters that are afraid there may not be a god after all? Are they resentful of women who live their own lives? Are they afraid of women who think and take control of their own lives and make their own decisions without the religious control of a male dominated clergy? All though history, free thinking women have been burned, beaten and tortured because they would not bow down. If this is the type of life you want for yourselves and daughters, then support Palin all you want. As for myself, I'll fight her tooth and nail all the way to hell and back before I let her and her kind of women tell me how I and my granddaughters, nieces, and their friends must live.
