Planned Parenthood and The GOP

Monday the US Senate spurred on by Ted Cruz will vote on a bill taking away funding from Planned Parenthood. This will fail as the Democrats will use the filibuster. Understand what is going on here: What the Republicans are doing is no more than pandering to their far right evangelical christian base, and this is nothing less than a brazen attack on women's rights. The vote will fail but the Republicans in the Congress will not be deterred by that and will use defunding Planned Parenthood to leverage their way in a budget battle with the Democrats and President Obama and this very well could bring on another government shutdown. And, all of this time they are working very hard to deny a woman control over whether or not she want to bear a child. The GOP is anti-abortion and against use of contraceptives but we have yet to see a bill proposed by the Republican controlled Congress to ban vasectomy's or a prophylactics, often referred to as "rubbers". Why is that?

Trump and The RNC

Republican National Chairman Reince Priebus must be having a severe case of the nervous shits as Donald Trump rises leads all other yet announced Republican candidates for the White House in the polls. The man is brash with his words, arrogant beyond description, plus he has the money and the ego to go it alone if the RNC refuses to support him. And, the man just yesterday voiced the possibility of his running as a third party candidate. Trump going it alone is estimated to siphon off twenty-five percent of the GOP presidential vote.

Personally, I am fucking loving it...

The 2016 Election Herd Of Candidates For President

My word! Yet another Republican is running for the White House. What is that? Sixteen or seventeen? I have lost count or either couldn't give a fuck. Governor John Kasich from Ohio just announced. Okay, I have no intention of every voting for a Republican president again but this man is head and shoulders above all of the others - Yes, he has baggage regarding the environment and other issues. The Donald is the best gift to the Democrats that they could ever hope for! The man is a rich ego maniac and he could if hounded by the Republican National Committee to decide to run as a independent.
Every other Republican running is lack luster, a radical, a religious fanatic, or has a questionable record in their home state. I love Bernie Sander's message and I think his progressive ideas will be embraced by the DNC in this election but the man is simply not presidential material. I did buy a Bernie t-shirt. I am starting to pay attention to former Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley.

The fun thing to watch is Trump tearing into the GOP candidates while he is not shitting in the Hispanics.... And, they are going to have to start going after one another beside the Donald.

Same Sex Marriage

I have been doing mostly Facebook but I believe in marriage equality and a line in the sand with the doctrine of separation of church and state. Why should how you interpret what parts of the Bible you choose to believe in dictate my civil rights?
