N.O.W. Comes to the Defense of Christine O'Donnell

Mike,

That's great. Or, is it?

NOW just got the story back in the news.

Now came in after the pay off was made public.

It's win-win for NOW they look good with out being good and they know every time the story is repeated some people will believe it.

NOW the National Organization for Women is a misnomer!  National Organization for Ultra Libberal Women would be more accurate.

Mike, just like most great movements in America, the train get high-jacked on the way to reaching the original destination.  Palin could have taken her negative political background and actually been a positive force.  Instead she took the Tea Party on a route that has divided and conquered the conservative train. This could have been an incredible election for conservatives, instead this self serving money grabber has put herself first.  By the way Palin is interesting just like Rush and Beck but not to be taken seriously as leaders of our country.  Besides, how can someone quit as Governor and expect anyone to trust her?

All three members of NOW finally said something... barely.  I know it doesn't represent me.

Hi Mike, Thanks for putting the story up, I would not have paid any attention to it if not for you posting as I have found NOW to be a big problem for women for quite a while. I have got to however point out one thing (there are many things that I could address, but as a woman who really got what Palin did, I just HAVE to address this one part) to the commenter above me, #2, I sincerely hope you are OK with this...

Tony, You need take pause, Palin was being gone after by no less than 14 different claims. That is 14 different legal proceedings, if you have ever been a party to one, frivolous or not, it is an expensive, labor intensive and a draining process. She was the Governor of a state that she dearly loves. The people who worked as her aids and along side her for the state of Alaska were not getting any work done for the state of Alaska, they were spending all of their time fighting all of these claims (that were dropped as soon as she left office, hummmmm) Her honorable view of the situation was very simple and correct minded, leave the position and allow for another who can get the job done to be in office, and quite waisting all of the citizens time and money defending her against a bunch of frivolous attacks.

She did what was right for the state of Alaska and for its citizens.

Another attack on Palin who's not even running for office.  This and the attack on Christine O'Donnell and other conservative women running for office expose the hypocrisy of the left and the Dems who claim to represent women's rights.  As Bill said above, only if a woman were liberal...

I'm still waiting on NOW to say anything about Joy Behar calling Angle the 'b' word... twice.  In many ways, I'm happy to see conservative women running for office regardless of the attacks that they encounter, because the left are now exposed for their misogynistic views.

Mike - Fortunately most folks don't need affirmation from NOW... I am curious about those that do

Someone has obviously made a mistake.  NOW is only supposed to support liberal women.  Maybe they thought they could get away with it because she was so far back in the polls... but if she surges, NOW might have to retract their support. 

NOW is much like the AMA, representative of FEW members but, hats off to them for stepping up and defending Ms O'Donnell.  In my PollyAnna world, I'd like to think that this is a step in the right direction for them but, my gut is asking what this remarkable response is doing for THEM!!

Mike

I just wish they wouldn't wait until the act is so blatant.. There are plenty of other reasons they should have defended her by now.

Oh...THAT N.O.W.  I thought you meant National Organization of Witches.  ;-)
