I didn't realize,

until I read in the paper this morning, that the ERA, (Equal Rights Amendment), that guarantees equal rights for women, hasn't been ratified. Passed in 1972, it requires approval from 38 states to become law, and only 35 have voted to support it. Guess what? The same band of states, known as the Bible Belt, or Stroke Belt, or center of the Repub Party (MS, AR, LA, AL, etc) haven't ratified it. Shouldn't surprise me I guess, that this uneducated, low income bastion of conservatism is WAY behind the rest of the country, but it kinda does. I just assumed the ERA had become the law of the land. Who'd a thunk...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?
