Why — is Romney traveling abroad again?
This woman is running against that ass-clown. She could probably use our help.
hmph! I didn’t think she had much chance. But on your reccomendation, I sent $$$.
Here’s hoping.
As each piece of the ACA comes online, the fundamental social structure of our society changes forever. To those afraid of those changes, it seems like an attack on the nation. Idiotic for sure. But if you want to understand the impulse powering the idiocy, there it is.
Yesterday the part of the ACA mandating free contraception for women went into effect.
So did a part requiring coverage for pre-existing conditions.
Still, it seems a bit hyperbolic to say the fundamental social structure of our society changed for ever.
Sounds way too much like something those stupid Republicans would say.
As when Reagan in 1965 said the adoption of Medicare would introduce Communism and our American liberties would be lost forever.
Yup.
The mainstream leadership of the conservative movement has been talking like tea-baggers since the days of Goldwater.
The entire GOP sounds like that, now, because of the thoroughness and completeness of the conservative takeover.
Message to George Will:
Be careful what you wish for.
And whom you lionize as a model for American politicians.
Actually, Philo, American society DID change dramatically and forever with Medicare. For centuries, old folks depended upon their children for care when they got old. Medicare meant that gramma didn’t have to bankrupt the kids to be alive.
The modern nuclear family was the worst possible thing that could have happened to kids and old folks. Medicare helped fix one end of the equation.
Well, if the totally ignorant can control their breeding, who will there be to vote Republican in the next generation? Seems like Armageddon to him.
Let’s see, Tammy Duckworth losing her legs is not heroism (per Joe Walsh), but free birth control pills is a huge attack on this country. Is Mike Kelly a chicken hawk like Walsh? he certainly knows nothing about war.
yeah, he’s another chickenhawk, no military at all. Apparently a quite serious catholic, also. He seems to have lived in the same zip code since he was born.
A virtual paragon of goodies for the the Fundie Right.
I’m imagining the History Channel documentary in 50 years.
“I was there on 8/1. You couldn’t describe the feeling in the air. We all knew the world had changed, but didn’t understand how. I looked up and there was a woman buying the morning after pill. And I heard from my buddy that some other woman got an IUD!”
No, that would be election day, Nov. 2010.
Democracy is terrifying.
It’s supposed to enable the people to protect themselves from exploitation and oppression since, of course, no one else will do it for them.
The catch is that they are so incredibly stupid, willfully ignorant, and plain vicious.
So things don’t always work out.
