ANOTHER REASON TO VOTE FOR PRES. OBAMA

(h/t Ian Millhiser at Think Progress)

The reactionary lawyer Robert Bork is on Mitten's Judicial Advisory Committee:
Robert Bork: Former judge and failed Supreme Court nominee Robert Bork is the co-chair of Romney’s “Judicial Advisory Committee.” Bork opposed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bans employment and other discrimination against women, calling the idea that laws can require private companies to cease discriminating a “principle of unsurpassed ugliness.” More recently, the top Romney legal advisor mocked the very idea that gender discrimination even exists. In Bork’s words, “[i]t seems to me silly to say, ‘Gee, they’re discriminated against and we need to do something about it.’ They aren’t discriminated against anymore.”
This brings up another problem with the Reagan Presidency: too many extremists like Bork and Mark Levin were given important jobs and as a result, they have not faded away.

Why should I apologize, you ever get on some of the Hillary blogs...aren't they called "pumas?"

Whatever, they are still accusing (rightly or wrongly) the Obama campaign of employing racism to get O past Hill.
