POLITICAL ME’S AND THE GREAT DILDO GRAB OF 2004

This week progressive groups are coming together in Washington to protest the loss of voter rights and demand campaign finance reform. They are mad and willing to block entrances to Congress and spend a little bit of time in jail for it. The progressives gathered there this week are taking a position against the political culture of ME, that is destroying American democracy.

Meanwhile, Republican dominated states continue to push so-called religious freedom laws (at least until large companies threaten to pull out) and further voter restrictions. The nomination processes on both the Republican and Democrat sides, have shown more this year than ever that they are a total sham.

Let's also not forget that it was revealed this week that Ted Cruz once argued against dildos by saying that the government has a genuine interest in “discouraging...autonomous sex” while serving as Solicitor General of Texas and arguing for a state law that banned sex toys. His brief went even further by stating, "There is no substantive-due-process right to stimulate one's genitals for non-medical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship." Too funny that Ted’s roommate confirmed that he had no problem stimulating himself in college.
