Stop It! Don't Make Up Imaginary Issues

The comment Hilary Rosen made about Ann Romey is much ado about nothing.  Those of us with more than two IQ points to rub together understood exactly what she meant.  Having been a stay at home Mom for my daughter's first three years of life and then a work outside the home Mom from then on I was not in the least bit offended. 

Ann Romney is too smart a person to let herself get used in this way.  However, let me be clear, Hilary's point is correct when she said that Ann Romney doesn't know how hard it is to have to raise your kids without all of the resources that Ann had as the wife of a very rich man.  The fact that she could choose stay at home Mom as her career says that she had a choice that a lot of women don't have these days. 

All of this aside, this argument is just smoke and mirrors to distract America from the real issue.  There is a War on Women and it is is real.  Anybody that doesn't believe that needs to read the Ryan-Romney Budget.  This budget continues the Trickle Down Reganomics that all reputable economists will tell you DOES NOT WORK! These budget cuts will disportionately affect women, especially single women who head households. 

I understand that the GOP believes that women shouldn't head up households but we do so live with it boys.  Stop planning budgets that cut health care, SNAP (food stamps), and Pell Grants so that Millionaires and Billionaires get one more tax cut that they don't need so that the rest of us get held further down.  There is no jealousy or envy of rich people with this statement.  I just want us all to have a level playing field. So STOP IT with the imaginary issue of Ann Romney and Stay at Home Moms being under attack.  Don't fall for the okedoke America.  Pay attention to what is really happening and what the GOP is really up to.

Open Our Dam Government: What is Wrong with the GOP!

Enough already. The tea party republicans thought POTUS was going to let them take take down the ACA. What!?  Are they on crack?!  Even though the administration has not done a good job selling the benefits, those of us with a brain know that the major portions of the ACA are going to benefit millions of Americans.  It is time for Americans as a whole to rise up and send the Republicans in Congress home for good. President Obama needs to have a lock on both houses for the last 2 years of his term in order to govern the country and pass some progressive legislation to benefit the country. It's time to protect Medicare and social security and put a stake in the heart of trickle down economics.  The economic divide between the top and the bottom of our society is no longer sustainable. We must rebuild our infrastructure and put our citizens back to work. We must also feed our people and educate our children and we can't accomplish these things by continuing to cut taxes...

Where Do We Go From Here?

Where is the Democratic Party going from the epic loss in 2016? Well that depends on who you ask. Bernie Sanders and his most rabid supporters like Susan Sarandon tell Democrats that we need to bow down to white working class voters and only depend on small donor contributions. According to them and the left wing purists, if we take money from rich progressive celebrities and progressive billionaires like Bill and Melinda Gates then we're no better than the Republicans. Well, as a 57 year old African American woman from Louisiana (one of the reddest states) living in Massachusetts (one of the bluest states) I can look at this question from both sides. Coming from a family of life long Democrats, I'm personally offended by Bernie Sanders and other independents telling us that all of our primaries need to be open so they can take over our party.  This is a non-starter for me. I say to them and all independents, pick a party or start your own. Bernie said he ran as a Democra...

The Real Base of the Democratic Party

We now see the outcome of listening to the dopes like Susan Sarandon who said there was no real difference between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. However, they don't want to own the stupidity they exhibited in the lead up to the 2016 election. As a Black Woman who is about to celebrate her 58th birthday I consider myself part of the real base of the Democratic Party.  96% of Black Women voted for Hillary Clinton. 53% of college educated White Women voted for Trump.  So somebody tell me why in the Hell am I going to listen to this group telling me how my Party needs to change. As the Mother of a Millennial here's my message to them. If they haven't figured out yet that pouting about Bernie losing the primary and sitting home on their asses and not voting didn't work out, it's time to get their heads out of their asses.   I keep hearing people pandering to this group saying it's time for them to lead and we need young leaders.  Well I tell you what!  Until ...
