“WOW!!! Out of the mouths of babes. I honestly believe that "gay rights" will be an unnecessary term 10 years from now - it will be rights for all. The younger generations are much more accepting of differences - be it sexual or racial - than say my generation because of the exposure, experiences and information available to them. Bravo young man.”

“The strategy for Republicans, McConnell outlined, would be to "delay the process so we fully understand what's in the bill."

Slow learners? Reading comprehension issues or just plain willful ignorance.”

“No it is called reading and understanding the bill. Something Obama fears. The Majority of people do not like this Health Care BS”

“I'm not surprised to hear this about wilson - he doesn't appear to be the sharpest tack in the box. He definitely rides the short bus. That doesn't speak well for his constituents, or is he actually considered an intellectual in So. Carolina?”

“I agree luv - I was actually insulted by palins schtick, she did women more of a disservice than any one of the other candidates. I think her appeal is limited to the uneducated and un/underemployed women - bus drivers and walmart cashiers - not educated working/career women.”

“You know what;s ironic? I am a stay at home mom, who beleives in raising my own children. I do not believe you can effectively parent by proxy. Having said that, I think the GOOP party has hi jacked the term conservative for thei own devices. btw. I would never shop at wal mart.”

“There are more of the uneducated and angry women out there then the well educated happy career women (tho I know many unhapppy career women so that is limited thinking right there). We need to address them as sisters or they will go to a woman with an unmarried pregnant daughter and a lot of other "plain old real life problems"for understanding and comfort. I get frustrated wit women who vote against their best interests too, but I am middle class, I see where they are coming from and baby, they are legion.”

“McChrystal Feels 'Stabbed In The Back'

Now he knows how the President felt when he discussed his report in public before discussing it with the President.

How / why was mcchrystal selected? His involvement in the tillman incident should have dismissed him from consideration. I also question if he isn't somehow linked to cheney and his failed ideology.”

“Well, as long as womens rights are being stiffled, let's hope that someone also pens an ammendment that all ED medications should no longer be covered by insurance plans. You want a woody, you pay for it yourself.”

jingles32 replied on Nov 09, 2009 at 14:02:27

“How 'bout we limit their access to va z ek tomies while we're at it? I've worked for 2 decades as a nurse. My best friend is a urologist (the main man to go to for such "dysfunctions," not your "primary" physician as most do now). It's ridiculous to think that all of these men are "suffering" from ED, a serious, debilitating and sadly common complication following some types of prostate surgery, bladder surgery; certain medication protocols, those with diabetes. Most of these guys popping these pills are just unable to accept the fact that they are getting old and limp, not the s tuds they used to be; looking for a magic potion to assure they can get it up, on demand, 24/7. You're not 20 anymore, deal with it! Meanwhile women are being denied access to birth control pills, via their insurance policies and sometimes by pharmacists, along with the ability to safely and easily access a legal procedure!”

“Hmmm...I wonder if they'll discuss the truths of their health care bill. The one that covers only 3 million people and has little benefit to much of anyone.

As far as going after anyone siding with Obama...do you really think that's a good stategy mr. steele? the lemming teabaggers may eat it up, but sane people actually want our government and legislators to accomplish something, and that involves the president and both parties. Do they really think approaching their jobs with the mentality of spoiled 8 year olds is really effective?”

“Real impressive. So if stubbornly juvenile curmudgeons like Inhofe don't get their way, they'll just throw a temper tantrum and storm out? Why are people like him elected? If I chose not to do my job as he apparently has, I wouldn't have a job. Ridiculous.

The first country to tackle clean energy is going to be positioning themselves for future gains. Inhofe is essentially setting this county up to be followers instead of leaders. Why is it that republicans can't see past the end of the week - they seem to have no ability to plan long term.”
