Congress Is Squandering the Opportunity of a Lifetime
"The sad fact is that the GOP’s dysfunctions—its hyper-ideological approach to government, hostility to liberalism, and opposition to compromise—will keep the United States from capitalizing on one of the great opportunities of the last 20 years. Thanks to GOP-driven gridlock and Washington’s myopic focus on debt reduction, we have squandered a once-in-a-lifetime chance to rebuild this country at pennies on the dollar, and bounce back from a long decade of mismanagement and neglect."

Republican Championing of Primeval Causes Is Creating a Hazardous Existence for Women
www.politicususa.com/2013/07/03/republican-championing-primeval-creating-hazardous-existence-women.html
"It is imperative that men who have any regard for their wives, sisters, mothers, and daughters step up and join millions of women who are in jeopardy of losing control of their reproductive health choices and start protesting loudly against Nazi tactics being used against over half the population while they still can. At the rate Republicans in states are proceeding, America’s women are on the verge of suffering forced abstinence or perpetual pregnancy and the saddest aspect of all is evangelical women pushing to enforce their pathetic plight on every woman in America. The tragedy is men’s silence that will subject their daughters, wives, mothers, and sisters to lives rivaling women under harsh Sharia Law."

War on Women...or a Lot More?

"Bottom line, the "war" is on all right, but it ain't just women they are gunning for. They are desperately trying to hang on to a rapidly failing approach to a soon-to-be non-existent world...their world...after all, "it's a man's world."

You can see the desperation in Perry and Kasich and Walker's shoving through extremist legislation in the dark of night without debate or discussion. You can also see their confusion and frustration at being thwarted by forces that they clearly feel are way beneath them. Yet still they persist and appear so far to be getting their way...albeit with blunt force trauma."
