Over the welfare of other poor people, no I'm not.

At least the articles you post are interesting in as much as they are open to a lot of criticism. This one included. It's a ordinary piece of journalism in my view.

I know it's rhetorical but you have to go a long way back to find any thing of substance

When an article is written with such inflammatory rhetoric my experience is that it does not lead to reasoned discussion.

check out the Va .Governor's race where evidently the big issues is the contention by the Dem candidate that the Republican candidate would deny women access to birth control.

OK, but since when does a gov get to change laws like that?

He would? I wonder where he got that... Hmmmm

In 2007, Cuccinelli sponsored a bill that would give legal rights to embryos from the moment of fertilization, which would prohibit of any form of contraception (likely including IUDs) that could block a fertilized egg from implanting into the uterus. And in 2003, he urged his colleagues to vote against a bill establishing that contraception is different from abortion.

Cuccinelli wrote in a 2003 email to colleagues that he doesn't consider emergency contraception, or the morning-after pill, to be a form of birth control:

One particularly troublesome bill escaped the Senate today on a 24-16 vote. That was Sen. Mary Margaret Whipple's redefinition of “contraception” as “not abortion” (SB 1104). Sounds simple enough, right? But her bill actually twists the definition in such a way that clears the way for “the morning after pill” or “emergency contraception.” These are abortion methods, not contraception. I am hopeful that this bill will be killed in the House of Delegates.

I think it is unfortunate for people to use rhetoric in conjunction with a poor understanding of history. Even if the message is unintentionally conveyed- a historical message is being wrongly reinforced, viz: That back people are incapable of managing their own affairs and they are in need of a white president to maintain their dignity for them.

Statistics presented demonstrate that Obama is also a poor manager of economic affairs. So it becomes easy for others to add that he poorly manages everyone's economic interest in general.

It contributes indirectly to reinforcing the wrong message.

Tutt let's face it, it is observable that people govern themselves better when they are in a harmonous racial group. You and I can observe that in our own nation the governing of black people for black people by those of a different race has been a dismal failure with ideas being put forward that they should have automony. I suspect that in the US the same is true, they have not had a good history of governing to the benefit of minorities.

Obama is only as good as his advisers, this is true of any government, and he is been criticised for not resolving a crisis more quickly as well as implementing social reform at what could be described as an inopportune time. That he has dug himself a hole that it may be difficult to extract the nation from is observable but not inevietable or a reason of his race. Words from their civil war ring true in this instance, this was nothing more than a error which could not have been foreseen

Still looking for proof that as Governor he would have any authority to ban birth control. An abortifacient is an abortion pill be definition . Still I'm very sure that any state action banning them would be blocked at the Federal level . Heck ,judges already ruled that you can't put age restrictions on them !

Hello again, tom:

The idea is that Cuccinelli BELIEVES the government has the authority to DO that, and the people of Virginia don't like it, EVEN if he CAN'T do it.

Terry McAuliffe is a WEAK, WEAK Democrat. That he's going to WIN, doesn't bode well for you wingers... Your hopes for a white right wing pres are fading fast.

He has no such belief . Here is his answer to Judy Woodruff during the Governor debate about the issue .
“I do not expect to use the political capital of the governor’s office to be moving those pieces of legislation. My focus is on job creation and job growth.” That is the ONLY relevant comment related to the issue... that as Governor ,he will not attempt to change a law he has no power to change.
It's Cuccinelli who has been "weak" by not making an aggressive counter attack against this non-issue. He should do to McAuliffe what Lonegan did to Booker during their debate .
Lonegan : “What abortion would you make illegal?”
Booker “I believe in Roe versus Wade,”
Lonegan :“Imagine aborting a baby in the eighth month of pregnancy,”.. “He supports that.”
When McAuliffe calls him out on his supposed "extremism " ,he should've turned it around and made the case that McAullife is the one with extreme positions.

You still crack me up, apparently the only inflammatory rhetoric you ever see comes from the right. Just yesterday I posted on a fundraising email from Democrat Alan "Republicans want you to die quickly" Grayson, was this inflammatory?

Not at all. The Grayson one falls into the same bucket, it is designed to be inflammatory as well (literally! :))

Hello again, tom:

Given that Cuccinelli is going to LOSE and lose BIG, it would seem that his (your) brand of extremism is OUT of favor.

OK, I'll let you in on the point of this post. Remember Joe the Plumber, the guy who committed the sin of asking Obama some tough questions? That wouldn't do so Joe became a target, even had his records searched illegally looking for dirt. It happened again, ol' Joe cross-posted this column on his site and before you know it, Crooks and Liars picked it up and accused him of racism.

Next, Taegan Goddard at Political Wire referenced it on his website, attributing the column to Joe.. After being told it wasn't Joe's column, Goddard dug in his heels.

Quote:

---

Some want me to point out (again) that Joe the Plumber's racist post on his website is a cross post. That matters?

---

Next thing you know it went viral that Joe the Plumber is a racist, including on Huffpo (which later made a correction), and in a column by Roger Simon of Politico I mentioned earlier, telling us America would be saved if Boehner and Cruz would drown - as an example of TP racism.

Quote:

There were other signs of our descent. Remember Samuel Wurzelbacher? Known as “Joe the Plumber,” he was selected by John McCain as his presidential campaign mascot in 2008 with the same care McCain used to select Sarah Palin.

Over the weekend, Wurzelbacher posted an article on his blog titled: “America Needs a White Republican President.”

---

Joe of course is bewildered:

So an African-American writer pens a blog on how it used to be okay to criticize the president without fear of being called a racist. Naturally, the Huffington Post calls me a racist for posting it..

---

Still waiting for others besides Huffpo to show a little remorse for the harm Joe again suffered at the hands of the tolerant left.

I have to say though I'm actually surprised I didn't get it like Joe did, thank you.

Now can we drop this racism bullsh*t? The columnist, a black guy criticizing a black guy had a point, Democrats are not doing blacks any favors. Are we ever going to be able to discuss such things honestly or are we going to keep up the mythical wars, such as the one on women this has turned out to be?

I doubt it, I already see more manufactured charges of extremism.

Taegan Goddard ? That suprises me . He's usually pretty good.
