Most excellent, TigerLily24! Personally, I think there's a secret GOP pot, and whoever can tell the biggest lies gets half and the person who can tell the most lies gets the other half. Considering that the fate of the country lies (no pun intended) in their ability to get serious and work bi-partisanly to actually govern, no other option seems likely.

I really don't like this term, 'aborta-care' I would rather there not be any abortions too, but this kind of slander is a little over kill with propaganda. There are many good things that are being totally ignored, my favorite being you can still get insurance with pre-existing conditions, that's a big deal for Americans since collectively our health has gone down the toilet. More preventitive care obtainable with the possibility of having insurance could make us healthier!
