The New England Area Chapter of the NAACP released a letter this morning urging the Massachusetts House of Representatives not to vote to expel convicted woman-beater Rep. Carlos Henriquez. Henriquez is currently serving simultaneously in the State House and the “slammer” up in Billerica. (Or rather was. The House voted 146-5 to expel him.)
I asked the NEAC President, Juan Cofield, who signed the letter, to join me on my radio show today and discuss it... (go here to listen to it)

From Wikipedia...
War on Women is an expression in United States politics used to describe certain Republican Party policies as a wide-scale effort to restrict women's rights, especially reproductive rights. Prominent Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi and Barbara Boxer, as well as feminists, have used the phrase to criticize proponents of the laws as trying to force their social views on women through legislation. The expression is used to describe Republican policies in areas such as access to reproductive health services, particularly birth control and abortion services; the prosecution of criminal violence against women; the definition of rape for the purpose of the public funding of abortion; and workplace discrimination against women.

The guy was trying to say that there should be at least a felony conviction before there can be expulsion proceedings, irrespective of the offense.
That's a losing argument, to be sure.
I'm guessing the facts weren't on his side.
Why is this a surprise?
It is all of a piece. The attorney general just called for the states to change their laws so felons can vote.
Why are you surprised?
A lawless President affects our entire society. I think it is called "trickle down syndrome."
Just remember.
It's not your Ma's NAACP.
Just sayn'
Ma, Ma, Where’s my Pa, Gone to the White House, Ha, Ha, Ha... refers to the out-of-wedlock child Grover Cleveland allegedly had fathered.
There is a striking difference between Dems and Repubs. Dems will defend, deny the sad truth and stick with a cretin if the cretin is a fellow Dem. Repubs don't do that.
Grover Cleveland's mother was a shwanky ho. Just so you know.
The only assault Grover Cleveland could reasonably be accused of was when he lay down on whatever woman it was who he fathered a child off of...or on of...is that ungrammatical enough forya?

Grover Cleveland was a walrus,
His mistress was ethereal;
When Grover laid his weight on her
The outcome was...Rice Cereal!
The best part is one protected minority disparaging another protected minority.
Could a war between the constituencies over ever-shrinking clout be far behind?
Mrs. Cleveland was the first woman to be referred to as a triple sow cow.
Strangely enough she did not know how to ice skate.
I'm torn about this really. He was convicted of a misdemeanor, right?
Different states have their own rules, of course. But considering how unbelievably easy it is for any person to be guilty of a misdemeanor, well, heck, it has the potential to bring political warfare to a whole new level.
Someone needs to do a little bit of editing on wiki-p don't they?
Anyone can walk into any drugstore or WalMart/KMart in America and buy contraceptive products so that is so total bullshit I still find it hard to believe even lo-fo voters don't realize that.
But you see -- Lefties use Common Core math in evaluating the "War on Women." Ted Kennedy, Bill Clinton, Eliot Spitzer, Weiner Weiner, Filner, all the Congressional Dems who don't pay their interns or pay their female staff less and even "activist" Sean Penn, et. al. don't count in "the war."
Instead one of them is even honored by Women's Day as being FOR women against the uglies of Mitt Romney and the Bush families and Sarah Palin and Rand Paul.
You know ... the racist Repubs. (Had to get that in there because it's all the same.)
