I've read through this thread and other than using this as an excuse to vilify the left, I fail to see how this is political.
Everything is political on this board..
I fail to see how it is smart...
Look, most of the public agrees with President Obama's approach to budget cuts and deficit reduction for better or for worse.
Look, the overwhelming majority of women are exercising some form of birth control and it's pretty easy to see that this overwhelming majority would likely empathize with those who stand to have their access cut
Look, we spend more on Defense than the next ten countries combined on the globe and nine of them are allies (I think that is the stat anyway). Obviously, we're spending too much.
So lets look at the GOP response to these planks:
Look, most of the public agrees with President Obama's approach to budget cuts and deficit reduction for better or for worse. The GOP opposes everything this President proposes out of habit.

Quote: "One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country.... Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be."

Their #1 vote-getter and nominee for President, Governor Mitt Romney vowed to overturn Roe and totally eliminate Title X funding
Look, we spend more on Defense than the next ten countries combined on the globe and nine of them are allies (I think that is the stat anyway). Obviously, we're spending too much.It was the one area that their nominee for President, Mitt Romney, wanted to increase spending upon
This is why I find the thread so humorous. The left held on to the White House, picked up seats in the Senate when it had more seats to defend than the GOP, and is generally on the right side of many if not most of the issues in the nation.
As long as the right continues to insist on digging their hole, I think it is our job to keep handing them shovels.
