although i usually keep this space pretty light,
i cannot avoid commenting on the current climate
regarding the gop missouri senate race candidate.
it's stomach turning, sad & insane to think that after hearing this
man speak, people will still vote for him & give him political power.
i was afirmed after hearing obama's statements on rape and women's
healthcare issues. loud & proud: obama 2012.
"The views expressed were offensive," said Obama.
"Rape is rape.
And the idea that we should be parsing and qualifying and slicing
what types of rape we are talking about doesn't make sense
to the American people and certainly doesn't make sense to me.
So what I think these comments do underscore is why we shouldn't
have a bunch of politicians, a majority of whom are men,
making health care decisions on behalf of women."
i believe pelosi, in a short & simple tweet gets it:
rep. todd akin statement is another manifestation of the total
disregard and disrespect of women by republican leaders.
Obama's comments were great, although sadly common sense. I am also most disturbed by the fact that so many people will still vote for him. The thought of any woman casting a vote for this man makes me sick. The only way he should serve our country is as an example of the uneducated. It was abhorrent that he referred to legitimate rape, and then he tried to say that women can prevent pregnancy? He sounded like the biggest idiot I have heard in a while, and that is saying quite a lot.
ReplyDeletei heard this morning that he's up in the polls...
