The War on Choice.

Let it be known. The Republicans are losing big time. Sorry guys. As much as I like some of you, I have a bunch of conservative friends and family... but your time with the throne and scepter is juuuust about over. "BUT WHY?!" you plead teary -eyed?

Well, you've lost. You've lost the War on Drugs that you started in the 80's. You've lost Clinton's War on Poverty. You've DEFINITELY lost the so-called "War on Terror" and not too mention, you've lost the only ACTUAL war we're in... you know, the one you started... the War on Iraq.

So frankly, you've lost us.

But what's this? This last ditch effort to stand for something besides corruption, cronyism, ineptitude and backward-focused ideological hocus-pocus...? The latest "war."

The War on Choice.

Please good readers, do not for one second believe that a 65 year old, white male governor or all male state legislature of a state with only ONE family planning clinic really spends a lot of time thinking about a woman's respectful right to do whatever she damn well pleases with her own body. Not for one second do they think about that. If they did, they'd more likely to ban things like sub-dermal nipple piercing, low-riding and other meaningless things that don't affect them in one way or another...

No. Their thoughts dwell primarily on, yes, you guessed, STAYING in power. How do they do that? Well, you can't be elected on nothing. And people don't elect losers. They elect champions. People who WIN. So what better war to win than a war that your opponent can't fight.

Why does the right to make a choice enrage them so? The truth is, it really doesn't bother them at all. Losing bothers them. Losing power scares them. This is just an easy way for them to look like they are doing something productive.
But will this back-fire like the rest of the circus? We'll see...
