i don't know if this particular story is true or not

i DO know i crossed emily's list (along with n o w) off of MY list a while ago (after all they said and did to diss barack obama. i did hear a rep from emily's list on npr the other day. she was making all nice nice about barack. it's TOO DAMN LATE. i personally will NEVER forgive them for their words AND their actions). i've said it before and i'll say it again, i would NEVER vote for someone (or want someone in power) based only on their gender. that not only is stupid IT'S DANGEROUS

EMILY's List has invested resources in this campaign - and they did in 2006 too.
"In 2006, EMILY's List endorsed Tinker and spent $500,000 on her behalf in the form of negative direct mail pieces with scores of lies about Cohen's record," Cohen campaign director Jerry Austin told me. Austin suggested that more of the same could be expected before the August 7th primary. One flier condemned Cohen for missing a few votes as a state legislator, but neglected to mention that the Congressman was in the hospital recovering from an illness......
