Since I am a female with a deeply personal and emotional stake in this issue, no longer for myself but for my grandaughters and their future daughters, I am appalled and fearful  at the direction that the issue of reproductive rights has just taken.
I am so old that I remember vividly the horror of an unwanted pregnancy, esp in the young, and the terrible, killer, back-alley desperate abortions that used to take place. This generation has no concept of what this meant. I pray fervently that they never have to find out.
Talk about health care...
Not only were they not allowed even basic good medical care, they were treated in barnyard circumstances, at worst they often died, or they were horribly brutalized, often never being able to reproduce agin in happier circumstances.

Republican National Commitee's health insurance has covered elective abortions since 1991.

Now that Politico.com,  exposed the Republicans, they say they are going to drop abortions from the policy and did not realize it was even offered.

It never fails to amaze me how hypoctital the Republicans can be. Obviously they feel they are different from the rest of us Real Americans citizens.

Too bad the number of abortions performed under this policy is unobtainable. It would be enlightening to know how many and who in the RNC took advantage of elective abortions. All the while claiming to be dead set against it for all Americans.

What more will it take for America to realize the Republican party is greedy, corrupt, bigoted, self centered and unpatriotic.

Another weak day for the dollar and upbeat economic news from China give investors more reason to keep buying  stocks.

Recently Passed house health bill has no where to go in the Senate, It is DOA.

I guess I just have to admit it, the democratic senate is it's own worst enemy. The only bills we can hope to pass are bills the republicans want passed. I do not know why or how some democratic senators became a branch of the republican party, but they did. Between the media constantly cheer-leading the republican views and democratic senators afraid to do what they were sent there to do, we might as well just give up and turn it all over to the republicans. Hopefully when they have raped the land and pillaged the economy there will be some trickle down for the rest of us. Oh Hell, what am I talking about, nothing is going to be left. Period...

If we do not learn from our mistakes. We are doomed to repeat them. Again and again and again and again.  

Regulation of the financial System currently Zero!
 

The media insist on making it seem like voters are turning on Obama and the Democrats just because Republicans might win in New Jersey and Virginia. Big news two Republican strongholds might elect Republicans. Man it is not like we are talking about New York and California going Republican. The media just want to use this to convince people to turn on Obama and the Democrats, just like they have. Hate training is what people get from the media. They will use this as an all out assault on the Democrats for the next year, wait and see. Then tell me the media is Liberal.  Anyone that trust the major media outlets is going to be misled and misinformed, on purpose.  Wayne Blackshire, Active Democrat

Congress thinks we're too stupid and the issue too complicated to convey to the public - so that no one will know the difference if they offer the uninsured Medicaid or Medicare.

The House HealthCare Reform Bill recently delivered by Nancy Pelosi, included a proposal to expand Medicaid to enroll an additional 20,000 recipients. The Senate is poised to put this in the combined bill, as a means to reach universal coverage. But no one has exposed that Medicaid is in shambles, costs the feds and the states billions...

Brita seems to have vanished from the list of Fox news advertisers that we were advised to contact. I wrote to them on their customer support website saying I would switch to PURE if they did not desist.  I never got a response which isn't surprising. However, I see them neither in the list of retractors nor supporters of Fox. What gives?

Do you know
what the "public option" does or who it covers?  If you've had trouble
finding out, it's not your fault.  Reading the corporate media coverage
provides little or no clue.  It's hardly ever defined.  There's a very
good reason for the lack of clarity and definition.  But first, a brief
summary or a public debate that characterizes just about every public
debate we have on critical issues.
