In all honesty, what I've seen as a constant form the GOP Primaries is a constant search for the Not-Romney. Whether it was 'drafting' Rick Perry, Michelle Bachmann at the Iowa Cacuses, Herman Cain's resurgence, Newt coming from out of nowhere..

Now it's Santorum. But what do we hear? I don't know about anyone else, but so many seem to want Chris Christie.

It's like they're searching for their next Reagan and they're not going to find him. Not like what happened in 1980. I mean, Reagan lost to Ford in '76 and was ready for 'the next campaign'. Who was in that position when this campaign started? Who lost to McCain? Hint: It wasn't Romney. *Mike Huckabee* finished second to McCain , according to the stats I got from RealClearPolitics. What have we heard from him? Not a peep.

With the country going broke and Newt wanting to build a Moon colony, really, you needed to ask what happened to Newt. Should have been really simple to see what happened, he's crazy and out of touch with the vast majority of Americans who want to see less government spending, less handouts, smaller government and a return to capitalism, where hard work and effort pay off and those that don't work, don't eat. Simple enough for me to understand.

That actually makes sense. Take away federal funding for all religious groups and also take away their tax exempt status.

:agree:Oblivion is better then he deserves.....He may not give up easily; his ego is huge.

I still would like to see/hear where the qualifiers of "most catholic women use them" or especially the one that states "over 95% of catholic women use them".....comes from.

Convenient generalizations presented as fact to make a point...usually political as in this thread!

btk

I have also read the 95% figure. That sounds very high...However, I went to a Catholic University and I can tell you that well over 50% of the women I knew there were on birth control. Granted this was a long time ago, but if this trended like you would expect, the number would likely go up, not down. If Catholics were not using birth control, their population would be growing at a higher rate. I think I recently read that Muslims have overtaken Catholics as having the greatest number of followers.

Truth or not; there's no merit or justification in attempting to compel the Catholic Church, against it's teaching, to provide birth control pills, and to provide them free of charge, to boot. There is nothing stopping Catholic women from purchasing these pills of their own free will.

Gingrich joins Palin as most disliked politician in America.

I think thats only in your house that might be true, and not in real world America.

It really does not matter how many Catholic women AND MEN use The Pill, vasectomy or tubal ligation, disobeying the Church's teachings/law.

It's about the federal government forcing religious employers to pay for these things, whether it's paying more into the insurance risk pool to cover more claims, or whether the federal government "orders" insurance companies and self-insurers to "give" it to people who don't have the coverage.

When are people going to wake up to the fact that every single time the government says "We will GIVE you this or that (which costs money)".....

....it also goes without saying, "We will TAKE the money needed to pay for this from somebody else.....never mind who THAT is......we'll have unelected, appointed bureaucrats at HHS figure that out later......

.....and since we won't know who really decided who it is that gets the money TAKEN from them, there's nobody who can be identified as accountable for the thievery."

Here's a great exposé-commentary on that, from Greta VanSusteren:

What did you expect? They didn’t even bother to read it ! And then they have passed the buck to unelected people to essentially write it! (and, am I wrong?) « Gretawire

Now Santorum says to Bob Schiffer that pre-natal care can lead to abortions.

Just got results of a search for fastest growing religion in the 21st century...so far I have found it to be...Islam, Buddhist, Scientology, Catholicism, etc,etc,etc...depending on which website you choose to read.
Islam is growing at a faster rate-2.9% compared with Chrisitanity-2.3%. However, Islam is smaller to start with and Christianity is adding 11 Billion followers more per year.
Christianity is even making gains in Islamic countries, and promises to be the largest religion in the 21st century!

How many times would you guess you're going to hear the phrase "state- ordered trans-vaginal probe" before the election, mostly coming from democrats?

Even Ari Fleicher tweeted "this election should be about ideology, not theology".

Yes, absolutely true.

Anyone willing to do a google search can confirm that.

This is pretty funny. Google Palin hate? How is that measured? Do I need to poll people in Starbucks to get that result?
