It's because conservatives think liberals are well-meaning boobs where liberals think conservatives are Beelzebub.
No it's because conservatives are far less likely to have friends on social media with differing opinions are far less likely to get messages from sources with differing opinions.

these threads are merged, the subject is media, both social and entertainment/informative
And the specific post you responded to was about the social portion, so again, how was it changing the subject ?
This is what's so radical about a huge percentage of conservatives, they hold odious and ignorant beliefs.
And this statement is a perfect example of how most liberals consider anyone who holds a belief different than their own to be "less than". Most people will not choose to read entries in their FB from people that close minded.
Do I even need to add anything? Anybody who is actually familiar with birth control can read this and see how crazy this statement is.
Sandra Fluke claimed, in her own words, that "without insurance coverage, contraception, as you know, can cost a woman over $3,000 during law school."
The cost of a medical exam at any Planned Parenthood shop or minute clinic, for the purpose of getting a birth control prescription, costs a max of $250 (per Planned Parenthood's own website). From there, depending on "coverage" birth control pills cost $0-50 per month. In 32 months of law school, I get $1800 (max exam cost plus $50 per month for max cost, again according to Planned Parenthood). That's max freaking cost of contraception. Now, if you have some medical reason for not taking the pill, there's condoms. The average decent quality condom runs about $1 a piece. If during 32 months you burn through $3,000 worth of condoms at $1 a piece, you're having sex ~3x a day, every day. That's a whole lot of sex.
So her numbers are whacked, unless she is not on the pill and has a ton of sex with condoms. No other way to get her $3k thing to gel.
What Fluke did right after her "contraception cost" comments though, was switch to OB/GYN coverage generally, like ovarian this, and cervical that, and cancer something else, and blah blah. None of that had anything to do with contraception, but like all good rent seekers, she switched topics midstream to make contraception appear as a women's health and safety issue. It never was. The Catholic Church pays for OB/GYN coverage, and they offer plans that cover a wide array of these things. They don't cover abortifacients and most contraception. She mixed the two things, intentionally misdirecting the truth.
Rush chose poor words, but parsing her $3k statement, she can defend her numbers or let people wonder how anyone in the era of cheap birth control spends a $grand a year.
And again, the entire "you called her a ****" thing detracts from the absurd spectacle of a college student being called to deliver essentially a campaign speech filled with lies and misdirections in order to advance a political agenda and do a hatchet job on the Catholic Church, using...yes, say it with me...EMOTION BASED arguments devoid of verifiable fact.
You should probably read the whole paper, im only on page 6 and it says tax cuts are bad as well. In fact, it argues that any exogenous(their word, not mine) tax cut or increase is bad.
It basically argues that everything, cut or increase, should be phased in over a number of years, not all at once.

Apparently, you missed this :

"The most significant tax cuts to stimulate long-run growth are well known: the 1948 tax cut passed over Truman's veto; the 1964 Kennedy-Johnson tax cut; the 1981 Reagan tax cut; and the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts."
No it's because conservatives are far less likely to have friends on social media with differing opinions are far less likely to get messages from sources with differing opinions.

1. That is page 13, not 16
2. The study talks about both increases and decreases in tax. It list both the best increases and best decreases, why do you think what you posted discredited what I posted ? Did i claim all tax increases were good, all tax cuts were bad or vice versa ????
That WAS Fluke's argument. She has so much sex that she cannot afford her own contraception, and that not forcing others to subsidize it is tantamount to restricting her from having sex. Read her testimony before the committee. Everybody flipped on Rush so hard they forgot that FLuke was whining that because she has so much sex, birth control costs exceed her financial wherewithal. According to her own words, she's definitely promiscuous, and there is a fitting pejorative for promiscuity.
Wow. Seriously, back away from the radio or the tv that is blaring blatant lies & start reading. You have absolutely no idea how birth control works. Literally, none. That's embarrassing.
