Hillary Outraged

bush panders...she might as well...

Actually, I really wanted to write something different ... ...

Just use "shift" and the number keys, Walter.

Still a bit on 'either black or white', squinney (due to JD's end) .... and I wouldn't like to be banned additionally. :wink:

This is very likely just another example of an explicit and broad long-term new conservative project to "defund the left".

Sending funding to 'faith-based' projects and programs is an example of how this strategy works. Another is the 'K Street Project'. Charter schools is another.

How is this pandering?

The shame of it is that this is the only center that does this in upstate New York. Do you know how large upstate New York is? It is 300 miles from Albany, where the center is, to Buffalo.

Considering the extent of rape and domestic violence in this country, there should be a facility like this in every county.

Hey we have to pay for my war say's Bush.

Well, actually I really think it's .... what blatham and kelticwizard said. (My first response was thought to be ironic.)

First, I don't agree with privatizing EVERYTHING, as Bush is attempting to do. Nor do I agree that religious organizations should be meeting all of the needs of the poor with no assistance for the poor from the government.

I agree with blatham and kw, but isn't this one of those things where the legal profession should step forward? Legal assistance for victims of domestic violence could easily be accomplished by requiring a certain number of pro bono hours per year. If 4000 victims were assisted in 9 years, that's only 444 per year, maybe one or two cases per family law attorney. Is that too much to ask?

Given that it's the Capital District Women's Bar Association Legal Project, I wouldn't think it too difficult to have intrested civic minded attorneys fundraise and promote the program through the State Bar Association. Might even give lawyers a good name for a change.
