Never mind, they’ll come back. They always do, you know. Women get cruelly battered and still keep returning to their batterer. BUT NOT THIS TIME!

We still support Hillary despite the combined power of the Democratic Party hacks, the Media Whores, and the illicit money men of the Obama campaign who have waged a vicious, nasty, hate filled, sexist campaign against her.
They continually battered her and when they battered her, they battered us.
All the sweet talk in the world will not force us to return to and embrace the demagogues of the DNC. Howard Dean, you were months too late in your recent speech condeming the battering of Hillary by your Party and your chosen candidate.
All the sweet talk from the candidate who demeans working, professional women calling them “sweety”, does not excuse how he encouraged his followers to demean and disrespect Hillary by his words, his tone and his gestures.
When BO flipped the bird to Hillary, he flipped it to us. We got the message loud and clear. You scorned her and you will continue to scorn women, expecting them to come back into your fold as battered women have always done.
Hillary got the majority of votes cast in this Primary. She lost most of the caucuses because working men and women, the ill and infirm and many others could not attend to stand for her.
The DNC stole Michigan votes from her and gave them to BO; it also gave him the “uncommited” votes so all these voters were disenfranchised and, he had taken his name off the ballot and refused to allow a fair and open revote.
And please don’t threaten us with Roe v. Wade. We don’t fall for that canard anymore. BO praised and voted for Chief Justice Roberts. Below is just one representative comment written by a Boomer.
"If my younger sisters lose Roe Wade it will be their own fault for taking the rights they have for granted, because they didn't fight for them. They are complacent and can take the time to swoon over a sexy empty suit who has already set gender relations back a minimum of 30 years, and we haven't even gotten to the General Election campaign yet. Serves them right. Not my problem. I know how not to get pregnant.
”It's my job to protect the rights I fought for that matter to me. This is a misogynist's campaign and if younger women are too busy spawning over Leland Gaunt handing out Needful Things and discussing his vibrating phone when he leans on one of them, then they will have to learn to take the consequences of their own folly along with the consolations. Maybe then they will Get It. I have already done well in my life. Complacency is their enemy, not mine. Let em eat cell phones."
Do not underrate the power of the PUMA. Hell has no fury like generations of informed, intelligent women scorned.

Obama Voted Against Chief Justice Roberts
He wanted to vote for him but his advisors told him not to because of his presidential aspirations. Although my favorite part is that he's put the news article in which this is revealed on his website. I can't decide if it's to brag about his strong inclination to fight for reproductive rights or his political brilliance at having to need it explained to him why he might want to vote against Roberts if he wanted to be competitive for the democratic nomination.

Pete Rouse clued him in
Rouse is/was Obama's chief of staff. This is from a WaPo story on Rouse (emphases mine):
Remember that story if Obama is the nominee and if he wins and when he's faced with filling a vacancy on the Supreme Court.
He was for him until he was against him.
It's all about presentation.
I love this job!
I love this job!
With the fine judgement and discernment crafted in him
from his years at Harvard Law School, we can trust that the legacy of a safe and legal abortion and birth control will remain an American standard.

Excuse me, who was I talking about again? The man who wants me to share my reproductive choices with my family, my doctor and my minister? A minister who'd whisper to the trustees that I'm a slut, the minister who considers abortion and Planned Parenthood a white power plot against the black community, or the minister that will get disavowed next week for a decades-old line of doctrine that Our Putative Nominee suddenly objects to? Oh yeah -- him. A candidate who'll never see a Supreme Court candidate he'll dislike.
