As a member of the GOP I don’t care about you or your bedroom, and that’s why I don’t want to pay for your contraceptives. It did cross my mind that it might be worth it if I could be sure you would never reproduce.

Obama knows exactkt when to claim he's all black and again he knows exactly when to claim he's irish. Obama is nothing but a liar and a sham.

I'm adopting a notification system for when I'm through with a thread, so if anyone wants to follow along and keep throwing their own waste chimp-style, they won't have to use up their last brain cell hunting for me, or thinking they've run me off. There's always new threads, children. See you in the funny papers.

Obama is no JFK, doesn't have his finesse nor his loyalty to this country.

Since I don't want to spend all day rebutting the endless rightwing teabagger lies of some previous posters, let me offer up the most heartfelt appreciation to President Barack H u s s e i n Obama, the best this country's ever seen. Our opposition knows just as we do that he's always going to be the smartest one in the room, and that cool long range strategies are needed today, not blowhard bluster. They wouldn't be so terrified of a supposedly incompetent crook, do you think? Hell no. As I've said before, even the GOP ain't that dumb. But then spiritual darkness hates the light. Hooray for our rainbow president! God continue to guide and protect him for the great work to which he's been called.

It would take days to rebut all the fallacies written below, so I must be selective. Let me start with klbutler's claim that Democrats were against civil rights and the GOP freed the slaves. You see, as he's been taught to do, he's twisting the truth; telling it kinda sorta but still with a huge hidden lie. In the 1860's Lincoln did indeed free the slaves. Although that's not what our Civil War was about; it was fought over states' rights. Back in the 1860's the Democratic party was the conservative one, the GOP progressive. By the time of LBJ's voting rights legislation, the party positions had completely switched. He signed the voting rights legislation full well knowing that the American South would desert the Democratic Party immediately to more congenial waters with the GOP. Now the GOP 1% uber rich overlords are having a heart attack over that darkie in THEIR White House. Truth is, were Lincoln alive today, he'd be a yellow dog Democrat like myself. So while klbutler technically told the truth of a sorts, he lied by ignorance and/or hidden lie. Didn't expect to be outted on that by an avid historian, did you, child?

klbutler "why don't you get your facts straight before running your mouth" you say to a fellow poster; then go on to post nothing more than smear and mere delusions without a bit of fact. Sorry to tell you klbutler you'll have to get ready for 4 more years because the majority of Americans are not going to vote for the other "cracker" party and their dinosaur vision for the future.

Dear holla, think before you drink the kool aid, the contraceptive issue was introduced by george stephanopolis in a primary debate, the purpose to give a false narative to attack with, like you have done. Traditional marriage is being attacked daily, the statists hate tradition and individualism, the use this issue to divide and conquer, they could care less about you as long as their goals are met.Once the traditions are destroyed they will attack you too.

The GOP want to bring their small government into your bedroom to stop you from using contraception or any form of family planning, and they even want to tell you who you can and can not marry.

don't underestimate Obama, he will say and do anything to anybody so that his statist overthrow can be completed. Life is hard and it is easy to believe that the government is the answer. In the end we the people are the answer, each one of us striving to be better and helping each other out. My liberal friends, don't give up your rights to a government entity, they are very hard to get back, many people paid the ultimate sacrifice to give all of us the rights we have become so use to. Once the government controls the power over your health they control the power of who lives and who doesn't. I don't know about you, but I would prefer that decision to be mine or my close families. Take control of your life before someone else does

It amazes me how the incompetent in the white house today can identify with the incompetent that was there fifty years ago and the Irish swallow it. Russia saw Kennedy as a weak president when he hung the Cuban freedom fighters out to dry at the Bay of Pigs, so they tested him and we had a missile crisis that was as close to a nuclear war as we ever came. The Berlin crisis was another test and they built the wall, had we done anything about the wall the East German army had orders to back off, then President Regan came along and said tear down that wall and they said thank God at last, and down it came. Now we have an incompetent running around apologizing to the world because we sent the cream of our youth all over the world to save people’s lives from tyrants as well as natural disasters.
