She under paid her taxes...Do­esn't disclose thousands of dollars in campaign contributi­ons...She belongs in the Obama Administration.

First let me say that I support Governor Sebelius' for the cabinet position. Having said that, the good governor didn't help matters here when she misstated the full amount of campaign contributions she received from the controversial Dr. Tiller -- a long time bogeyman of the anti-choice folks. In fact, Operation Rescue claims it relocated from California to Wichita KS just so it could focus on shutting down Tiller's late-term abortion practice. The anti-choice group labels the govenor "America's Abortion Queen"and has an all out offensive to derail her nomination. Their web site confirms their complete disdain for the governor. A counter offensive from pro-choice folks is probably in order.

Please - Help me understand.
If it is a womans rights issue, why is prostitution illegal in most states?
Why are so many of you against the death penalty, but allowing the execution of an unborn or just born child is acceptable.
Why can't a woman sell her organs?
Why can't a woman sell her baby on ebay?
Why not let a woman have maybe a 6 month trial with the child, then allow it to be killed if she decides it is too much trouble.

It was the GOP's wrong headedness that caused them to vote for GWB not once, but twice. And look what that has done to us. Over this issue!

No one likes abortion, we need to work to create a society that welcomes children, outlawing abortions is not the way forward.

There you "open minded" liberals go again always opposing the right free speech when it doesn't follow your narrow little party line.

She is a tax cheat and a liar. Address swo68's point instead of resorting to name calling. Telling him to go somewhere else to post so you want have to face the fact that there are people with opposing views who also have the right to express them.

You libs are always the ones screaming that you are tolerant and inclusive, obviously that only includes people who think exactly as you do. The word hypocrisy comes to mind.

In addition to what Narrow said, if you expand your mind a little and look at the bigger picture, my statement (which is true btw) is really more of a condemnation of the government, rather than just her.

When the Republicans held the white house and congress they were the ones who yelled and screamed about how the President should be able to have whoever he wanted in his cabinet and the congress should give them and up or down vote. They also had someone as Secretary of Health & Human Services who was a not a supporter of choice. Did they think that if the country elected a Democrat as president and the Democrats had the majority in the House and Senate there was likely to be someone nominated for Secretary of Health & Human Services who did not support choice? If so they are even dumber than I thought. It's amazing how upset they get when they are handed some of their own medicine. Don't they realize how petulant and childish they look when they make such a fuss when the Democrats even talk about doing the same thing the Repubs did over and over?

Neocons get all bizarro over Big Government, but have no problems interceding with laws that would limit a woman's right to make the most personal decisions about her body. Bloody disgusting.
