“The Charleston County Republican Party sure seems like they are.”

“Have you missed the healthcare debate entirely? What about gay marriage? Abortion? And despite the bailouts and the wall street payoffs, Democrats still favor more regulations and government involvement in private fiscal affairs. We know what Republicans think.

Believe me, I have not been entirely thrilled with the Obama administration thus far, but there are many key issues that divide Republicans and Democrats. You cannot let your anger and disappointment blind you to the things that we progressives, democrats, left wingers whatever you want to call us, do not share in common with Republicans.”

“South Carolina:

Teen birth rate = 53 births per 1000, vs the 41.9 national average
Infant mortality rate = 9.4 deaths per 1000, vs 6.9 national average
2.6 physicians per 1000, compared to the 3.2 national average
26 percent of children and 13 percent of elderly living in poverty
34 percent of children are overweight or obese
One of three states that does not use competitive international math and language standards

Oh and they have the 5th highest unemployment rate in the nation

I can understand why So Carolinians are frustrated with their government, but those looney right wing tea baggers are misdirecting their anger and channeling it towards officials that are only going to make these statistics WORSE.”

“There is a big difference between

'the US was hell bent on an Iraq invasion'

and

'the Bush Administration was hell bent on an Iraq invasion'”

“I am against nuclear weapons, but peace in the middle east is a delicate thing. Because the Israelis allegedly have nuclear weapons, their neighbors think twice about openly provoking them. In this instance, nuclear weapons sort of keep the peace.

But something with Iran is different. All of this nuclear Iran talk has sparked a Mideast arms race. We Americans like to group Mideast Muslim countries together, and many don't understand that Iran famously does not get on well with it's Arab neighbors (another common misconception - that Iranians are Arabs). Earlier this year, Saudi Arabia's foreign ministry came out and declared that a nuclear Iran was a "principal security threat to Arab nations". Shortly afterwards, a four-nation Arab summit held in the Riyadh agreed with this analysis and decided to create a joint pan-Arab nuclear industry to combat the Iranian threat.

There are also reports that Iran has been setting up joint nuclear committees with Syria and Sudan, as well as the anti-US regimes of Venezuela, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador.

I'm not a huge fan of Israel, but their alleged nuclear program has not stirred up this much controversy, and they have not been sharing nuclear technology with countries that are hostile to the US.”

“Wrong. There are two parties. But in some areas the ideology held by certain individuals on both sides can overlap and the line that divides the parties can appear blurred.”

“I'm not sure that would work. Lord knows Obama would be holding the entire Fox News staff in contempt if he were able to !”

“how is fact checking someone's book 'unreasonable'???”

“That still doesn't make her qualified to lead our nation, and you know that's the job she's after!

She couldn't even handle being governor of ALASKA !”

“They are not asinine.

Mammograms generally do not read well in pre-menopausal women, their breast tissue is more dense.

Studies have been showing that MRIs are better at detecting breast cancer in pre-menopausal women.”

“It's not that simple and you know it.”

“I think Tina Fey said it best - 'one part sassy and a little dash of high school b itchy'

all this woman does is COMPLAIN.”

“It's funny how our government is willing to spend a fortune on a war in Afghanistan that's main objective is to create a secure environment for the Trans Afghanistan pipeline, rather than fix our road infrastructure here at home.

If the roads aren't safe to drive on, demand for oil is going to go down. Go figure.”

“She lives in NYC. She probably doesn't even own a car!”

“damn hypocrites.”

“You're not a person if you have not been born.

Plain and simple.”

“he's probably working on it!”

“are we also going to pull all of our federal funding from Planned Parenthood?”

“I'm a little on the fence about this one. A good portion of tax payers don't want their tax dollars to be paying for abortions, but at the same time - is it fair for those who have abortions currently covered by private insurance to loose this?

Where do you draw the line?? A lot of Pro-lifers are against birth control as well, which can already be a struggle to get private insurance companies to cover. Are we going to ban federal funding for birth control? Pretty soon we'll be a nation of Duggars.

And why is it ok for insurance companies to pay for viagra and the like?”

“yikes. it's kind of hard to hawk your book when you don't have much to say.

She does have one other thing in common with Sarah Palin - does not interview well.”

“yes. a dark, cavernous and completed void of anything bank vault of a soul.”

“This isn't entirely fair.

Almost EVERY designer sends borderline skeletal models down the runway, it's unfair to single Ralph Lauren out.

The fashion industry needs a makeover.”

“I completely agree.

Amazing how Republicans will stand for what's right. When they don't have anything (like donations from healthcare lobbyists) riding on them.”

“hoax.

It's amazing what people will do now to be famous.

throw the book at them.”
