My namesake Hillary Rosen and Rachel Maddow were on Meet the
Press this morning. Both are blessings to progressives everywhere.
Rachel in particular was her usual perfect defending our cause against two
Republican heavy weights, Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference Rep.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), and Republican strategist Alex
Castellanos.
Rachel was wonderful, passionate and absolutely 100%
correct. I thought she and Hillary Rosen knocked it out of the park and
the Republicans on their behinds. I was particularly thrilled Rosen had
the opportunity to better explain her views which were originally, I believe,
misinterpreted. She was NOT against Ann Romney or stay-at-home
mothers. Who could be? BUT those in the 1% cannot in ANY way be
compared to those in the 99%. How middle class mothers and poor mothers juggle
a job and children is infinitely different. Ann Romney probably has NO
idea what a head of lettuce or even a gallon of gasoline costs. Why
should she? She doesn't HAVE to. Her husband’s Republican policy
reflects just that point when he wants to take away the earned income tax credit but cut taxes for the top 1%. Fairness is not in the Republican vocabulary.
Rachel is right when she said state legislatures that turned
Republican in the 2010 election catastrophe show EXACTLY what happens when
Republicans rule -- high unemployment, the emasculation of unions, no health
care and no jobs. Who are Republicans kidding?
Republicans indicting Democrats as the dividers is a
joke. Republicans are the ones who will NOT compromise, Republicans are
the ones who are virulently anti choice, anti birth control and thereby anti
women. Republicans are the ones to introduce
religious beliefs which should be separate and apart from the big government
Republicans CLAIM they loathe so much. I don't say it, Rachel doesn't say it,
Hillary doesn't say it but the CONSTITUTION says it and Republicans are blind
to that too.
Rarely does Rachel Maddow say anything in error and if does
she apologizes and corrects it immediately. That is infinitely more than
Republicans do unless their arm is twisted into an unnatural position!
My channel in the evening is stuck on MSNBC!
