No, and she has never said so.

No, and she has never said so.

Perhaps it will be worth her speaking, so you can hear what she actually says. Perhaps it would be worth reading what she actually has said. Life is short and these little opportunities to educate ourselves are ever-present.

The controversy about her Congressional testimony is a good picture about how paying attention to certain aspects of the media gives you a totally false view of what has happened.

That's all the Democrats have to argue over. Give them a break. They cannot run on Obama's record.

Sandra Fluke (rhymes with F-ck) will be talking about birth control, of course. Elizabeth Warren will be talking about collectivism (a.k.a. "you didn't build that") and that is all they have.

This is true, so tell your Democrat friends.

Q: What's the difference between a woman who requires other people to pay for her sexual activities, and a prostitute?

A: The person paying for the prostitute, gets to take part in the sexual activities.

Um, you do know who gets to NOMINATE SCOTUS judges, don't you???

The next election WILL DECIDE whether abortion stays legal in the US.

Come on, Old Boy. The abortion issue is just a stalking horse. The Supreme Court settled it over 30 years ago, and the Republicans have never been able to overturn their decision ever since, even though they have tried mightily and constantly.

The issue makes a nice hot topic diversion, but it is not going to settle this election, just as it has failed to settle any of the others that have followed after the Supreme Court ruling. And, for sure, birth control will never go back to the pre-pill days, ever. Women have changed a lot since your distant childhood, and you had best get used to it. Another Supreme Court will not ever overturn it, either. Take that one to the bank, or grow ancient and die in forlorn false belief- your choice.

Furthermore, all you attitudes regarding Sandra Fluke are straight out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth. She said nothing at all about any of that stuff you tagged her with- that was all Rush, Rush, and more Rush.

Sandra Fluke will get all kinds of good words from the media and others of the left lean. I can't wait to hear her, and am not looking forward to many others at that convention but can't afford to miss her.

Fluke? Democrats? Ridiculous!
Do I find the idea of the Dems taking a firm stand on a womans right to a choice, Yes. Especially since the Repubs have a long list of candidates, including the VP candidate, that would remove those rights, even in cases of incest and rape. Some people understand that issues are important and where candidates stand on thoses issues is the factor that should guide them in their voting.

The President gets to nominate Supreme Court Justices. THAT makes a big difference.
