Republican family values on full display. (4.00 / 2)

Small wonder Republicans would rather greet Obama then deal with any more crap from their number.

At TalkLeft tonight they are equating the suffragettes picketing the Republicans in 1920 to the Democratic Party denying Hillary the nomination.

What world are they in? She didn't get enough delegates. She lost the race to someone else. Didn't get enough votes. Didn't win enough states. Has higher negatives than stomach flu. Are these people in touch with reality?

You've probably all seen this, but I never saw it until today. Just read in the NYT that National Geographic bought this and built a whole documentary around it. This is truly the most stunning wildlife footage I've ever seen!

And...dare I suggest...a bit of a parallel to...well, see what you think!
