Gregg, I'm telling Mrs. M on you. Since she is the informal resident leader of the anti-salad-spinner contingent I'm sure she'd like to hear of this transgression...Quote:

Apparently Ryan was hypercritical of the stimulus however requested some of it.
I imagine these types of articles and accusations are going to be a daily occurance for both candidates and their inner circles.
The spinnies are going underground. All she'll find are shadows at Bed, Bath & Beyond. (Pay close attention to the 'beyond'...)Quote:

This is a bill that would criminalize abortion, for any reason...ANY reason, as well as some forms of birth control. IUD This is the far far right push to give rights to a fertilized egg! He wants to defund planed parenthood, as well as drastically cut spending for aid to single mothers and poor kids. What a prince, huh?! Oh, and to just make sure the punch to the jaw is coupled with a kick in the gut, he of course will repeal Obamacare, as well as destroy medicare and medicaid.
But, never worry, the very wealthy will get a tax break, as in NO tax for capitol gains, so, it's all good!;)
Yeah, they are going to have to pry my spinner from my cold, dead, but rather dry, and remarkably unwrinkled hands!:)Quote:

I believe an implanted fetus shouldn't be killed because of the circumstances of its fertilization.Quote:

Actually it would often be both - if the fetus is not viable it will die along with the mother.Quote:

You mean there weren't enough righty villains already? Talk about a zombie army!Quote:

When your record is lamentable, your signature policies unpopular and your ideas threadbare, there can never be enough villains. With little worth defending, attack is the only viable strategy. You need villains in the past like the baneful Bush to excuse your current failures. You need a pantheon of plutocratic malefactors like the carcinogenic Romney or the wheelchair-shoving Ryan to convince the gullible that there are even worse choices than yourself.Quote:
