    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

Obama's war on women [ 18 Answers ]

Why does Obama hate women? Add to that the fact that Obama doesn't care about real life issues women are facing such as gas and grocery prices instead of $9.00 contraceptives, and I'd say Obama is the one waging a war on women, not Republicans.
