To Rush Limbaugh and the GOP Dittoheads: It’s “We, the People,” not “I, the Person”

Rush Limbaugh is an ass.

  • He thinks that the more sex you have, the more birth control pills you need to take.
  • He thinks women who need birth control are sluts.  If the collective “we” has to pay for contraceptive care, then the collective “we” should get to watch videos of girls having sex.
  • He thinks a woman , who speaks on behalf of a friend who lost an ovary because she was denied access to contraceptives, should have parents who are ashamed of her.

No, Rush. Shame on you.

The GOP Contraception Confrontation

The recent uproar about women’s rights and health care is a time machine back to the 1950’s.

Birth control has been a non-controversial issue for decades.  At least it was until Newt Gingrich, in early February, latched on to the fact that the Obama administration announced in mid-January that it had mandated that birth control be covered at no co-pay as basic health care service by insurance providers.

It took a while for the GOP to take hold of the issue and blow it out of proportion. Read the rest of this entry »

Is Privatizing America’s Public Sector in the Public Interest?

In GOP, Indiana, Legislation, Maryland, New Jersey, Newt Gingrich, Politics, Privatization, Republicans, States, The Congress, TIm Pawlenty, Wisconsin on June 18, 2011 at 9:44 pm

Indiana really is the crossroads of America, politically that is. The state is at the center of privatization,  a hot trend for our nation’s Republican governors and mayors.  GOP politicians and dominated legislatures sell public resources to the highest private bidder, using extensive, longer-than-long-term contracts.  The deals often block the State from modernizing public transit, or placing resources more efficiently to save money. Is privatizing in the public interest? Read the rest of this entry »

So Over Weinergate

In 2011, Campaign 2012, Democrats, Elections, GOP, Politics, Republicans, Sex Scandals, The Congress, The House on June 13, 2011 at 11:25 am

All the media seems to talk about these days is Congressman Anthony Weiner. He tweeted inappropriate photos. He had inappropriate conversations with women who were not his wife. Was it stupid? Yes. Was it ill-advised? Sure. Should he lose his seat in Congress over it? No way. Read the rest of this entry »

Another One Rides The Bus: What is Sarah Palin Up To?

In Barack Obama, Campaign 2012, Democrats, Elections, Fox News, GOP, Ideologies, Media, Neo Conservatives, Politics, Racism, Republicans, Roger Ailes, Sarah Palin, Tea Party on June 1, 2011 at 4:07 pm

Last weekend Sarah Palin began her “One Nation” bus tour,  barnstorming around the Northeast, with news organizations scrambling like flies around media manure to keep abreast of what she will do next.  Palin has some serious talents.  Governing and holding an executive office are not two of them.  What this woman does have is an innate gift to create a media buzz around herself.
