God I love stuff like this. And it allows me once again to pull out one of my very, very favorites:

May I say I love you both? lol


ETA: Oops this was supposed to quote Renee's post as well!

And FTR that is not what was said, it was twisted out of shape. As a hoosier, I am beyond sick of hearing all the variations of it as you can imagine that is all we've heard for weeks.

But hey, that's the way to campaign right? No need to have your own virtues if you can exploit someone elses flaws.....real or fictional. And no, I really couldn't care less about Mourdock, just another American who's sick of it being ok to twist words (or outright lie) and not have to answer for it.....on either side.

Very thankful the elections over.

Never said or meant that a baby, if a woman chooses to keep it after getting raped, is not a gift of life. Or any less precious than any other baby. But it should be MY choice to see if I can deal with it and that scenario. And it shouldn't be anyone's say to determine whether the rape was legitimate or not.

There wasn't much taken out of context, Mourdock put it on the table himself.

It wasn't a red flag to people when Joe Biden ask Paul Ryan if the Republicans wanted to cut taxes for the middle class why are they refusing to sign a bill that would, and Paul Ryan stated they wanted to cut taxes starting with the rich.... It wasn't a red flag to people that the six studies that claim his plan would work were blogs, an opinion of a professor, and his own team's report that it would work. It wasn't a red flag to people that Romney refused to go into detail on what tax loop holes he will close until after he won the election. It wasn't a red flag to people that he wanted to increase the money given to the military by two trillion dollars in an economy where we should be putting that money back to fixing America.

Yeah, I much much more confident in Obama's economic plan for the future.

This. And yes, I don't believe in compromising about social issues because of the financial crisis. Hopefully Obama can work on both.

That is the only thing I'm looking forward to. LOL

Other than that...I don't think I would have been happy one way or another. Now I just pray to God things progress and nothing gets ****ed up too badly. I would have been saying the same thing with Romney, just over different issues.

I hate politics.

it doesn't matter which party is slinging it, it is all feel good BS.

I find it interesting that most of the politicians I have seen that speak out against abortion are men, which I do not think is fair. Men will never feel the fear, the horror or being raped & the added fear/disparity of discovering you are pregnant by that rape. Therefore I do not think it is right for them to govern this kind of thing.

Well America has spoken well see where it takes us :/
