Easy, I'm on the side of right which doesn't cower to Islam when it comes to women's rights.

2012 Massachusetts President: Romney vs. Obama

Your assertion would be more credible if a mother of 4 working minimum wage was tauting mittens, not some employee, and the race, gender doesn't matter. Also if there were a bunch of 'em, not just one.

Mittens may not win in the state he has done soooooo much for.

The war on women has really come alive with the suggestion that the candidate really has nothing to do with their choice, basically they think with their vagina

Edit... didn't see that Speechless already addressed this . Her comments were in the context of one of her State Dept professionals quiting and writing a big essay in the Atlantic about how hard it is.

Not true ;we just claim that they all suck . It is in our history . We like our politics this way.
The nicest thing said about Lincoln was that he was a country bumpkin .Ike was called a bumbling fool who is lazy and incapable of understanding the complexity of the world. Yes the same Ike that led the most complex military coalition the world has ever seen. Andrew Jackson's wife was accused of being a prostitute, The allegation was that Grover Cleveland had illegitimate children.

Jefferson and Adams used surrogates in the press (pamphleteers... the bloggers of their day) to slander each other while pretending to be above the fray . Jefferson side said Adams was a "hideous hermaphroditical character, which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman." Adams side countered that Jefferson was "a mean-spirited, low-lived fellow, the son of a half-breed Indian squaw sired by a Virginia mulatto father."
The 2 men were best of friends and maintained a cordial relationship until they both died on July 4,1826 ;the 50th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence ;a document they both signed.

The founders would approve of this contest (except perhaps Washington) . They paid lip service to the idea that politicians should be citizen statesmen and claimed to detest party politics. But it took less than a decade for them to split into factions and become life time professional politicians themselves.

What they did have in common however was an inherent distrust of central power of the government. If there is any change from our founding ,that is the big difference.

No he didn't address in the correct fashion.The article by Professor Slaughter is not a essay on hostile work places.

Clinton didn't read the essay either. She is not complaining about suffering from some sort of paralysis about the choices she has made.

I never suggested Slaughter's essay was on hostile work places. The only link to her essay was in regard to Romney being "flexible so women in his employ could balance work and life at home" as opposed to Hillary calling them whiners.

If the boss thinks you're a whiner for wanting to take care of your job and your family THAT hints at a hostile work place which is what one former administration staffer called it. I made all the correct links.

There is only one candidate talking about poverty, unemployment and helping Americans make ends meet... and it isn't Obama.

York: Romney, not Obama, shows concern for nation's poor

Romney talks about it but offers no platform point at all i.e. he has no plans to address the issue: Issues | Mitt Romney for President
Nowhere there does he mention poverty.

That's the problem, Romney talks and Obama does. How many Chinese workers have American jobs because of Mitt? Keep counting because he is still doing it!!

Actions speak louder than words, and FACTS trump campaign speeches!!

You guys are in denial. Romney is actually talking about issue that matter while that petulant poser is talking Big Bird, binders and bayonets.

Petulant poser!!

So instead of showing us where Romney has plans to deal with poverty you decide to go into attack mode by showing a video of why Obama is a poser because he goes into attack mode? LOL! You guys are worth the price od admission to this forum!

Don't know how Romney is responsible for job losses to China while he hasn't been in management in Bain is 2001 .
Anyway ,582,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost to China and India since Obama has been in office . Clearly Romney's fault.

If you weren't so busy passing abortion bills and tax cuts to the job creators that haven't created jobs, we would have closed those loopholes by now, and brought those jobs back already.

Of course you blame the democrats for those companies closing American plants for Chinese and Indian sweat shops.

And you think having a buyout specialist for president will change all that? Mitts solution is to bring sweat shops here.

No, watching you dodge and flail and jerk is worth the price of admission.

I post a link to Romney's site to talk about the issues and you think that's "dodge and flail and jerk". Oh well.

Hello again,

Let me ask my right wing friends a couple questions... Romney said he'd allow abortion in the case of rape. That's nice of him, but WHO is going to determine if the woman was actually raped? Are they going to take her word for it? Certainly not Todd Aiken.. According to HIM, being knocked up is PROOF she WASN'T raped.. The cops, maybe? Are they going to take the rapists word? Does the lady have to wait till a trial happens? What about an appeal?

About taking her word for it, you can't do THAT. Certainly, if a lady wants an abortion, and that's the only way to get one, she'll claim rape. That defeats the purpose, and you can't let 'em get away with THAT, now can you?

Inquiring minds want to know. I just want to know how you small government conservatives are going to manage this.
