Found this stuffed in the screen door on Sunday morning. Couple of late-middle aged White women with ELCA hair going around the neighborhood (no doubt doing Good Works before heading off to hear the Gospel). <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Struck me that Tina doesn’t mention which political party she intends to caucus with, if elected. She doesn’t have any endorsements. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been around long enough to recognize political euphemisms. “Who you love” means homosexual. “Where you’re from” means illegal alien.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This flyer was delivered days after Roe v. Wade was overturned, so “reproductive rights” means abortion. “Equal Pay” means “affirmative action for women.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I’m going out on a limb and suggesting Tina is a Democrat who is terrified to admit it, because the public is less than enthused about Democrats right now. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Hiding your party affiliation to deceive voters is kind of shady, don’t you think? Wouldn’t honesty help voters make an informed choice? Or is that the problem? <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Yep, definitely Democrat<\/a>. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
