Unless, of course, they end up "fixing" that pesky "who gets to vote" problem ... and no, I don't really put anything past them if they get to shrieking loud enough.

The ultimate goal of the GOP/tea party/corporations is a state where everything is privatized and deregulated. Reagan set the first stone towards this goal, Bush built upon Reagan's vision and now Romney wants to take it a steep further. The tea party ideology has always been present even before the tea party was formed. The only difference is that now they feel proud of voicing their opinions on national tv.

As I tried to say earlier, Aiken said something fundamentally nutty. He just doesn't understand basic biology. As for Mourdock, I watched the original Senate debate and I read all the comments and clarifications afterwards. He does not condone rapes of any kind. He does not believe any rapes of any kind are "God's Will." What he does believe is that life starts at fertilization and all life is sacred. No more, no less. (he calls it God's miracle, but I guess that's how he understands the world, poor inarticulate dude wants to be a Senator.. ha!) Again, I'm pro-choice and wouldn't vote for this guy, but he's not crazy and people keeping making him out to be. His question is a moral dilemma for him, the future life of a child vs. the potential anguish of a mother that had suffered a rape. He falls on the opposite side of me in that debate, but anyone that believes in intelligent political discourse, should fight for his right to present his views and have the body politic vote on it. The rest is a discussion re: Roe v. Wade and Doe vs. Bolton and the constitutionality and validity of it, etc. |

Frankly, the book such people that invoke religion keep waving doesn't actually have anything about abortion in it. There is a passage or two about "on the first breath". Back then the breath and the soul were theoretically the "same thing".
Just another "doesn't read own book, uses book as ventriloquist dummy" situation - debate may be impossible. Look, I can argue the other side, particularly in regard to the time when the nervous system is active and getting sensory inputs -- some moral dilemmas can be constructed there. But the arguments being presented by specific members of the GOP are extreme, lack any substantive rationale, and they intend to impose their "religious assertions" into law, or rather they *are* imposing them. I consider that a personal threat to every woman I know.

Top Romney surrogate and professional race-baiting troll John Sununu accuses Colin Powell of endorsing President Obama because they are both black.

You might find this interesting:
Examiner.com by Christopher Collins October 25, 2012 Last night, it was revealed that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had ordered more security at the U.S. mission in Benghazi before it was attacked where four Americans, including U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens were murdered by Al-Qaeda but President Obama denied the request. The news broke on TheBlazeTV’s “Wilkow!” hosted by Andrew Wilkow, by best-selling author, Ed Klein who said the legal counsel to Clinton had informed him of this information. Klein also said that those same sources said that former President Bill Clinton has been “urging” his wife [Hillary] to release official State Department documents that prove she called for additional security at the compound in Libya, which would almost certainly result in President Obama losing the election. Klein explained that everyone knew what was happening in Benghazi from the CIA to the National Security Agency and that there’s intelligence cables that have not been released. Wilkow asked, “If everybody knew this including the White House, who would have given the order to go in and save the ambassador?” Klein, “The President...he should have given the order to use the rapid reaction force..." Wilkow, “Not Petraeus?” Klein, “Well it has to come from the president.” Wilkow also asked Klein about Valerie Jarrett who’s the Senior Advisor to Obama and Assistant to the President for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, and her role in this cover-up. Klein said, “We don’t know but we can only assume that every action that the president takes, and he said so, he is on the record saying “I don’t take any actions without passing it by Valerie Jarrett”... so we have to assume that Valerie Jarrett whose also by the way, hooked into the Chicago campaign line...she has a direct line to David Axlerod, was a part of this whole cover-up in the White House.” This latest news comes on the heels when the Paulding County Republican Examiner reported that former CIA officer, Clare Lopez was a guest on the Glenn Beck TV on Monday evening and told Beck, “They let our ambassador and others die. In real time, watching it happen, and they didn't do anything about it.” |

It all sounds awful until we start looking up these folks and their actual resumes and credentials ... then the flags go up.
