Red Skirt: In League with liberals
Posted by Anne Leary on Oct 15th, 2007
I received an e-mail from a friend some time ago, commenting on this story about an upcoming League of Women Voters event, and I quote: "Bankoff was quick to point out that while the League of Women Voters never promotes or endorses particular candidates in races on either the national or local stage, the organization does develop policy statements on specific issues.
Nationally, the League of Women Voters has made climate change a priority issue."
Incredible. So, if the LO(Liberal)WV makes every plank in the Democratic Party's platform "issues" for which they "develop policy statements" that concur with the plank, that's not endorsing the Democratic party ... I challenge the LOWV to find even one issue that they support that is only a Republican issue...
Also, why wouldn't the LOWV invite at least ONE speaker who would challenge global warming?

I challenge the League ignorant, pompous Goracle of a hypocrite.
And I challenge the League to invite a global warming skeptic to appear on just one panel. Note the exclusively pro-greenie lineup. At least read this post please, liberal League ladies.
The non-partisan nature of the League of Women Voters is a TOTAL fraud. Around here the League leadership is virtually indistinguishable from the Democrat party apparachiks. They are the Democrat election judges, the poll watchers, the campaign workers.
Debate, what debate? The local League-sponsored debates are a farce. They usually put their members, who just happen to be candidates, front and center and lob them softball questions, which reflect their priorities — perhaps about their community service, or what's special about Wilmette. In the round of questions, when it's anyone else's turn (who dares to run without their imprimatur) they hit them first with divisive or bizarre questions. Typically gun control comes up, and at one village board debate an election cycle ago a candidate was asked about health, housing, you name it benefits for gay, lesbian, bisexual or trans-gendered residents of Wilmette. In the school board debates it might be taxes or school prayer.
And they may employ the neutral facade of enlisting moderators from neighboring towns, but it's an incestuous Dem bunch around here. Similar tactics are employed in other locales — a less-than-even-handed approach. More here. Typically the League allies itself with the "local" newspaper, which is no guarantor of impartiality either. (That's one reason I started this blog. I know about too many letters to the editor that never saw the light of day at election time, and then there are always the stories never written.)
Nationally the League is just as transparently liberal. The League says they are for voting reform, yet oppose photo IDs. And of course they support provisional ballots, which are an invitation to fraud by political machines, overwhelmingly Dem and urban.
The League says they are for lobbying reform, but hailed the toothless Dem bill as a success.
The League says they are concerned about civil liberties, but our life and liberty at risk from terrorists is not their concern. They whine about imaginary abuses, and are silent while terrorists coldly target us.
These useful idiots for terror don't advocate for women when it counts. No, they view global warming as the greater threat. This has LIBERAL written all over it. And we might add gullible to the title as well. (Though that's redundant, but let's point out the obvious to the clueless.)
The League of Gullible, Liberal Women Voters.
