Gotta love these youtube commercials where all these women talk about how bad things are with obama.

Could he try any harder to get female votes after all that about abortion stuff?

See this is one thing i'm not voting for him. Even tho I want a zombie Apocolypse.

There's probably (a shameless) individual than would call such action '' active prevention'' .

Really?
- Reduce the crowding of prison. Obviously.
- Tying up the judicial system. That one is less sure, who will be left to be juged if the shoot at sight all criminal ?
- Good deterrent to the criminals. The effectiveness of the capital punishement as deterrent is kind of unproven if not debunkedand I guess than this new ''method'' will have the same effectiveness.

What's sure is than there will be more dead body on the street and not all will be criminals, collateral damage will probably happen a lot more and judicial mistake will end up being way more tragic.

Most of all, you have to be disciplined and you have to save, even if you hate our current financial system. Because if you don't save, then you're guaranteed to end up with nothing.

Republican candidate calls aborting rapist's child "more violence on woman's body

http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...2F+Top+News%29

So, a wannabe congressman has also come out on the pro-life side in the abortion debate, albeit this time in Washington State .. which I'm not sure is the right district for it..

A lot of time these representatives are echoing the belief of those voters who are likely to elect him/her. Michelle Bachman, for example, says a lot of things that makes a lot of people scratch their head and yet, her district keeps electing her. So even if some of these congressman sounds out-of-touch or controversial, they are just saying what will get them elected. That's good politics.

That guy is a idiot, he had no right to decide over a woman's body but, he isn't completely wrong. To call it ''violence'' might be a too heavy word, but a abortion isn't nothing, as it have a physical and psychological impact.
But so do pregnancy, and the psychological impact of a pregnancy resulting from a rape isn't something than could be ignored.

The sad part is that they are assuming people are HAPPY to get an abortion. No one is ever happy to have to abort, either because they had no choice or that they never wanted to get pregnant. So to talk about how "violent" an operation is, is entirely misrepresentation of the issues.

And the sad part, is I can't tell if he is deliberately trying to confuse the issue for his own benefit, or if he is truly just that ignorant. I can't tell any more.

Oh, I don't disagree you need to resonate with your base, but he's in Washington State. That's why I explicitly referenced where he's running for congress. I believe the west coast is much more liberal when it comes to these issues. So, I'd have to disagree with you when it comes to "good politics" but we'll see

I don't even know what he'd have to assume to say that.

That doctors do abortions for fun, and con women (who are too dumb to make their own decisions) into letting them perform?

Not much of a surprise here.
Actually, I was going to reply to this first but I think I was very angry about this. I know that TRMS show, Rachel Maddows look like she was very angry about that as well. So I am going to be in rant (really dont care if I get neg for this) mode about this.

Mitt Romeny, I want to be nice about this, but I dont think I can do it. Seriously, I think you just do these things so you can make yourself better and actually dont even care about anybody but yourself and your fanbase. First of all, Red Cross doesnt not accept any type of food and other stuff(like Diapers, Water)donations, they only take cash or blood drive and that it. What did you do, Food Drive, then know that isnt going to work, and just for a stupid photo op. If you really want to help them, you could told them that donate blood, send money to Red Cross or any other thing besides that.

In fact, if you want to, you could have flown to these places for only a few hours and speak to them, really help out on the ground with moving supplies, talking to leaders about it. It only take a few hours but America would see that you have the compassion to go to these place to help out, not being a swing state rally or doing something phony like this. I think that if we elected Ronmey as the next POTUS, when I think we all going to be in big trouble.

however as shown by Akins and Bachman, when they run for higher office. These soundbites do come back to bite them.

I like the line:
Quote:
For all his businesslike intentions, Mr Romney has an economic plan that works only if you don’t believe most of what he says.

Gallup polls flip flop as much as Romney does.

Their last polls said Romney was going to win, and now their new polls swing wildly in the Obama direction:
