I'm not going to say that this guy's comments are reflective of Virginians, Republicans, or Christians. His comments are nothing more than a reflection of the hate and spite he carries in his heart.

I find it sad that he's exploiting disabled children for the sheer purpose of cutting funds for Planned Parenthood. His usage of logical fallacies is quite sickening. And I think he needs to apologize.

Not just to the constituents that he represents, but to all of the disabled children, and their parents, that he used as cannon fodder.

being that I pay no attention to what happens with Rush, I am glad you clarified this. I still think bringing Palin into this wasn't necessary or shoud i say, the person who made the statement did it out of total dislike for anything that is not completely left wing. Had it been someone else I would have overlooked it..

Perhaps bringing Palin into this wasn't totally necessary, but her extreme hypocritical nature on issues like this is interesting to point out.

It is sooo funny that they say liberalism is a mental disease. LOL.

As I said, being religious is the real mental disease here.

This is the reason Democrats are so popular right now despite the fact a majority of the country disapproves of their economic policies. We have two choices in this country, the wacko socialist left or the Christian Taliban. It seems like there is NOBODY on the landscape today who still believes in the freedom and principles that made this country so great.
