Hundreds of people gathered outside the capitol in Lansing, Michigan, tonight to listen to a performance of The Vagina Monologues by eleven female lawmakers.
And this sign from tonight’s event said it all: "Vaginas brought you into the world and vaginas will vote you out."
This all stems from a debate over abortion legislation. Rep. Lisa Brown was censured for using the word vagina on the House floor.
"And finally, Mr. Speaker, I'm flattered that you're all so interested in my vagina, but no means no,” Brown said Wednesday.
Republican leaders insisted they were offended by her "rape reference,” not the word "vagina."
Brown was not allowed to speak on the House floor again. The GOP wouldn't let her debate a teacher retirement bill the next day.
Rep. Barb Byrum was also silenced after she tried to suggest an amendment to legislate vasectomies (she was our guest on tonight's show; watch the video below).
Hundreds of protestors gathered on the lawn of the Michigan statehouse to listen to a performance of "The Vagina Monologues". Eleven state congresswomen participated in the performance. The demonstration follows the Republican censure order which silenced two state representatives after a debate about an abortion bill last week. We talk to one of the women who was shut down after the abortion debate, Representative Barb Byrum.
Michigan Republicans say both women simply violated the rules of decorum. And the leader of the House, accused both women of throwing temper tantrums.



Brought to you by the radical and still irrelevant National Organization for Women (NOW) that demand tax payer funded abortion$ and birth control pill$ while demanding the government stay out of their wombs. Irony and hypocrisy: a 2 for 1 deal with Liberals! They said nothing about Bill Maher's attacks on women. morons.
If women had birth control pills covered by insurance, then there would be no need for abortions!
But, wait, the republicans WANT to take away birth control so there will be a need for abortions and then they can use it to keep the religious right voting for them and against there own best interests!
Let's spell it out plainly to the masses - the republicans hate you and are planning on taking your Social Security funds and gambling with them on the market. In addition to taking away medicare/medicaid and telling you to "get over it"
Obama/Biden 2012 ~ NUKE'UM
More lunatic extremist nonsense of the blog vagina idiot. Embrace your self-hate Beth as it makes us stronger this November because no one wants to be associated with a party of negativity and radical behavior. Tell us how the GOP wants to 'take away birth control". LMAO!! HA HA! That's a good one little Liberal. You characters never let the truth get in your way, do you? :-) Now please get violent! :-)
You think we are not strong. I am a new member of NOW and we are many more than you imagine. P- Control we will take back this country. You males have made an unholy mess and like little bad children we will have to put you in check and clean up the mess. Bill Maher is a comedian Rush is not. He was making a joke and Palin is a public figure and she has a mouth so don't pass a lick if you cant take a lick.
You're weak just like the labor unions have become in America. A lunatic fringe in America that no longer provide any value except to push an agenda not embraced by a majority of Americans. You and your movement are a hypocritical joke that no one takes seriously. So please keep spending your money, hold your stupid signs and chant your Obama nonsense as we go to the polls in November and kick the Progressives to the curb and ship Obama back to Chicago. :-) Your moral relativity is priceless. Keep dreaming or hallucinating as the case may be because you're irrelevant.
Then you need to leave the republican party if you don't want negativity! Hahahahahahahahahahhaha
I don't hate myself ~I hate the republican party and all that it embraces! No apologies here! I loathe and detest the lying liars and deceitful thieves, commonly known as republicans! All you know how to do is lie, trick and deceive!
" I don't want to pay taxes" Talk about extremes! " If you let me make multi-millions, you can make a few hundred a month"Blah, Blah, Blah,............Complete lunacy!
You must like liberals, you sure hang around here all the time! As MJB says Ol' Pope Boy ~
Nuke'um Mr. President ~
Obama/Biden 2012
PS ~ Wisconsin senate is now Democrat majority! Don't leave that out when you brag about Scott.
Vatican, still raping little children?
Still beating your spouse?
I'd say Vatican has a penis and needs to STFU.
I'd say you have a pie hole and need to shut it. :-)
Please show us your sources for those 2 rediculas claims. Get your head out of the sand. Join the real world.
Which claims are you referring to? I'm trying to save you Liberals from voting against your own self interests.
After the gw bush era you expect us to trust you with our economy again???? Sorry but you morons blew it, and you will blow it again lol...Dumbass!
Jackoff, only an insane idiot would trust Obama with four more years after he did worse to the US economy than the GW Bush era. Wake up robots. :-)
Let's spell it out plainly to the masses - the republicans hate you and are planning on taking your Social Security funds and gambling with them on the market
That's laughable. The only middle class baby boomers that are getting to retire comfortably, and in some cases luxuriously, are those that took advantage of "the market". SS is peanuts.
Just remember $1 invested in Proctor and Gamble 30 years ago is worth $60 today. $1 invested in SS is worth.............maybe a nickel....LOL
Dem E Tell me more about the evil corporations.
Eug.............."maybe worth a nickle"? You don't even know! You are throwing up an unsubstantiated argument. Probably from the slop bucket at F---news
Having a Social Security check from the government -that I have contributed to as an employee every payday~is more desirable than any unstable market plan available now or ever! No privatization of Social Security! Period!
Obama/Biden ~ Democrats straight down the line! 2012
Boy -O- Boy these teabaggin-gop-neo-cons-Nazi's will stop at Nothing to Stiffle America and to Stiffle The American People's Voices !!! Rock-On Ladies !! In This day and age - this Is Just Disgusting !!!
Beth speaks like the true government lap dog she is; preferring a social security check vs. investing the same dollars in the market for a better rate of return. She's uses the same logic in thinking the Post Office is making a huge profit compared to UPS and FEDEX. You can't fix stupid, and there is plenty on this leftist blog. Enjoy! :-)
DemElizabeth - I am curious as to who wants to take away birth control? Or do you consider 'taking away" the belief that the government should not force providers to cover birth control 100%, especially in organizations where birth control violates specific religious beliefs? Last time I looked you can walk into any pharmacy and purchase birth control - is it somehow only accessible if it covered at 100%?
I also find it humorous how you equate a rise in abortions to not having birth control covered at 100% - as if women are unable to make smart, rational, financially wise choices when it comes to family planning. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Vatican makes a great point - the left loves the talking point about staying out of their wombs, vaginas, etc., yet has no problem with the government forcing us financially into their wombs, vaginas, etc.
Having a Social Security check from the government -that I have contributed to as an employee every payday~is more desirable than any unstable market
DemE
I understand your plight. Paying the government a substantial amount of money over your lifetime and getting a negative return is a lot easier than taking the bull by the horns and taking responsibility for your own retirement.
Any liberal will tell you "easier is always better"
If and when you retire you'll be here whining about "social justice" and "redistribution of wealth". I'll be in Hawaii.
Vatican:: I have one word for you and the other republithugs.
NEUTER!
Don't go any further. You have shown the world that your brain isn't between your ears.
No place to discuss "Nuns On A Bus" - Paul Ryan begs the question of "how to incorporate" his Catholic Teachings...walk the talk. It is that simple. For Paul Ryan it is that difficult because his Ego stands in the way. If he had true Public Service Intent, his daily devotions throughout his lifetime would give him his answers. Obviously he is not a person of Faith but one of Hipocracy manipulating Democracy to benefit himself and those who think the directions he thinks. He does not believe in a Supreme Being. If he did, he would have a sense of Governing with open generosity and sharing as opposed to creating barriers for those less fortunate than he.Paul Ryan and his "Young Guns" cohorts believe in themselves, refuse to acknowledge this Country's History and in their own egomaniacal arrogance make paternalistic assertions and decisions as if the American People were stupid and cannot see through their facade.
And Vatican, you speak like you know something. Do you remember when stocks and bonds weren't worth a continental dam? People lost money on their investments-- well, regular people. Rich biches moved their money overseas so they would get richer.
You are a doll-- the definition of a doll is anEMPTY-HEADED PLAYTHING. It's a shame that the only thing you have to play with something I won't mention. The people in here who can think know of what I speak.
Women deserve THE SAME full preventive coverage, which INCLUDES reproductive care. Men have no restrictions on coverage, women should not. Religion should not infringe on my rights. Republicans across the country have been trying to pass bills limiting women's healthcare rights, and if you good old boys don't understand it, get educated. Its about HEALTH. And I have been waiting a long time for somebody to give me an example of a restriction on men. Denying the republican war on women won't make it go away.
Susie, are men still holding their ears to your head to hear the ocean? I thought so. Enjoy :-) Work that empty vagina!
Vatican 12442 based on what I have read from you I'm sure birth control has never been a problem for you, your attitude works well in that regard.
It's interesting you have a problem with women getting birth control yet the same plans that would not supply birth control would still supply Viagra.
Truer words were never spoken. Between women, Latinos, and seniors, Mittens is toast. And don't think voters in Wi gave a thumbs up to Walker. They didn't think it was right to recall a sitting Governor. But when they get more abuse from him they might rue their decision not to get him out when they could have. Personally, I would have voted to kick his arse out, but some people are a little wish-washier than I am. When asked, a majority of the voters leaving the polls said they would vote for Obama. So get ready Pope boy. Four more years of Obama and eight of Hillary after that.
Yup, we heard the same nonsense from Liberals as we approached the Wisconsin recall election. Please use that same logic! :-)
Don't fret 'lil teabagger,(disgusting habit by the way), after the president finishes off your imbecile candidate, you'll always have Whackoff Walker...If he's not in prison by then.
Disgusting habit? You sure seem to enjoy it and always asking for more little jackoff; don't be shy. :-)
VATICAN...If you do not care for the subject matter, leave the site and stop arguing like a gradeschool bully. Hormones out of balance? Better go see a physician because something in your life is out of balance. Trouble balancing the Right AND Left hemispheres of the contents of what resides between your ears? Better see a Psychiatrist for intensive talk therapy because this is not the place to voice partisan hatred. Are you a Human Being or a Zygote absent of a functioning neural tube and brain...
I think you like me here and need me here so I think I'll stick around and torment you all with the truth another day. :-)
Vatican, you need to get a life, plain and simple. Abortions should be safe, legal, and FREE. Spend more time thinking, and less time Trolling.
So you "think" doctors will just give away their services for free? Really? Is that how things work in your Progressive world? So tell us what else should be "free", e.g., healthcare, education, housing, etc... Pull out your Occupy movement notes. We're waiting. :-) Liberals are truly parasitic leeches.
you tell him john. i'm glad he's blocked i'd hate to see what he had to say about vagina's
You know you're reading my posts... who do you think you're kidding? You can't help yourself. Ha :-)
Vatican dufus you are an ass.
and you enjoy kissing it. :-)
My, my, such language from the 'Vatican".
I thank my Good Lord for protestants!
Oh, 'kissing' is a bad word for Democrats? Hmm interesting. I won't ask what you do with your lips :-)
NOT what you said Vaticanisashamedofyou.
My lips sure don't kiss yours or anyone else's a** for that matter.
You are the one licking F---news up one side and down the other!
Obama/Biden 2012
It's funny that I never mention which cable news networks I watch, but I enjoy reading your lunatic ASSumptions for where you think I get my indisputable facts from. I'm sure FOX News thanks you!
Pope Boy...........Your comments have the "Mark of the Beast" . They slop you and then you try to slop us..........but I don't eat garbage or pork!
Obama/Biden 2012
Nuke'um Mr. President!
I think you're definitely a swallower vs. a spitter when it comes to consuming BS spewed by liberals.
Vat has never heard of buying an insurance policy. And God forbid someone should expect them to pay a claim. Nastey liberals always wanting something for their money. I'm still waiting for him to give sources for all his rediculas claims. He won't. He can't. He's just another right wingwing wanting to disrupt and lie.
You can buy an insurance policy 'before' Obamacare, so what's your point, if you have one? Which claim do you want to debate?
Larry, please pardon Vatican, he has a teeny, weeny little brain, just like his .........
Vatican
I made a statement you can't deny. You're also not answering questions about how tax money is going for anything. I has nothing to do with the ACA. And, I can't find any law in the library called Obamacare. Can you give a number for it?
Larry, when you stop wearing your wifes panties, we'll have a serious conversation. Until then just dance for me. :-)
Vatican::: Never in all my years have I read such crap and nastiness coming from one ackjass. It is funny that the powers that be haven't shut you up-- you must be an azzkizzer first class to have them groveling at your feet.
You must be an ackjass first class-- besides an azzkizzer first class. You are proud of your idiot ramblings that don't mean a dam to anyone but you and other idiots.
VATICAN...really enjoy hating don't you? You lack the capability to honestly debate. No one who has a well developed thought process is going to engage you seriously. Learn to be a Millenial Human Being. Your tantrums are not tolerated in Civilization. What you have regurgitated on this site is seriously pathologic.
Sounds like you're another liberal that can't handle the truth and are unable to debunk the facts I provide here. Glad to know you enjoy my posts. I think I'll stick around. :-) Fan of Andrew Jackson?
I love vagina.
And as a female activist once said, "screw us and we multiply."
Vatican must hate vagina. Oh, thats right....it was the Vatican who protected pedophile priest after they molested little boys. Freak!
You all support Barney Frank the sodomizer. Freaks! :-)
Barney Frank is a gay man who makes love to gay men. You, on the other hand, are a freak who gets off to hurting little boys. Pathetic. Stop wasting my time creep.
not all gay men are sodomizers, you ignoramous.
you would feel much better if you block the blockhead i am
You look like someone who can't say NO to an all you can eat buffet. Jabba the Hut comes to mind, and your friend Suzette "Scissors". You know what I mean? Ha Ha! ask one of your girlfriends.
I do enjoy this blog!
Vatican hates everything and everybody that doesn't fit his mold. Notice all the links and sources he give with his rediculas remarks. NOT
So far you've failed to list any claims you consider ridiculous (there I helped a liberal to spell a new word). I'm so sweet! :-)
Vatican you support keeping pedophiles free from justice, dumbass!
KMA liberal loser!
Vatican is a hateful foul mouthed bigoted idiot. He's posted not one ounce of truth. He's conributed nothing but lies, insults, names and hate. I vote banning him entirely, unless he wants an honest discussion. OH, crap, honest discussion from a rightie. Shame on me.
Larry, since when did you become a member of NOW; must be exploring more of that feminine side of you, huh? Look at your own words... foul mouthed idiot. :-) You're just a typical whining liberal.
Vatican::: Guess what. I have known homosexuals in my day, and I would take them over you. They are polite and not an azzh0le like you. Your mother should have thrown you out with the bath water-- and some veterinarian should have neutered you at childbirth.
You would make it so dam much nicer in here if you would shut your big mouth-- the only thing you have that is big.
Be sure and do something wonderful to your gay lover before you shut your big mouth.
Don't buy into the Vatican remarks. Shut him down. Stop playing his game. Don't engage the perverse attitude. Keep the site about the subject. You are allowing Vatican to absorb the ego feed.
Susie, sounds like you need a good slap like the b!tch you are. Perhaps if you ask your girlfriend. :-)
Oh good gravy ! Vagina is a medical term and we no longer live in the dark ages. When the parts of the human body become bad words ,well we really are back woods pathetic people. Talk about freedom of speech , what they did really was against it ! What do they do tell the Doctors use a pad and paper and draw what there talking about ? These are grown ups who are pathetic ! Maybe they call that part a whats It, Or do daddy. If you go to a doctor they have to use medical terms.
It had nothing to do with using the word, 'vagina', it was the idiotic theatrics of the politician that was called into question. Typical Liberal radical behavior and disrespect for the office and her position as a representative. Liberals create a script, establish the scene, and execute the performance. You're so easy to see through! :-)
And just how was she "theatrical"? Just because you hate Democrats, don't try making crap up. Too late, you already do.
Majority Floor Leader Jim Stamas, R-Midland, made the decision to prevent Brown and Byrum from speaking on any of the slew of bills the House was racing to pass before adjourning for the summer.
As the party in power, the Republicans can decide who gets to speak and what issue — just as the Democrats did to them when they were in power two years ago.
"My concern was the decorum of the House, not of anything she said," Stamas told The Detroit News.
"I ask all members to maintain a decorum of the House, and I felt it went too far yesterday," he said.
Speaker Pro Tem John Walsh, R-Livonia, gaveled Brown out of order for saying "no means no" — because it suggested Brown was comparing the abortion legislation to rape, House GOP spokesman Ari Adler said.
From The Detroit News: detroitnews.com/article/20120615/POLITICS02/206150373#ixzz1yCtzxVAF
They were doing what they are paid to do. Just more right wing strong arm tactics.
vatican,
your post #6.1-
kinda like when cheeeeeney told Patrick Leahy, democratic senator, to go "phuck himself"?
are those the kind of "idiotic theatrics" you are referring to?
Just ignore Vatican. By arguing with him you just feed his ego. Block and ignore.
Be nice Jim. We love to hear from you all even NOW and then. Your girl movement is hilarious! :-)
These are not Leaders but White Men who fear Women, Ancient Cultures, History because it does not create monetary wealth for the perpetuity of their own egos. Its that simple. They feel threatened so they must exhert their control whenever and wherever they can. They haven't figured out that the only thing they have to control is themselves. They are attempting to control from beyond the grave. What matters is how you treat other Human Beings. Limiting resources is not humane nor is it just. It seeks to opress and supress for the preservation of an unhealthy ego.
what planet is this freak from,i am of the generation that still remembers back alley aboritions what happens when it's someone you care about.i thought the 60s were over
You want an abortion; go pay for it. Don't rely on tax payers to pay for your decision to kill a baby. :-)
Vatican is a spammer who lives with his mother and tries to earn pennies from Karl Rove so he can pay for his beer.
He doesn't discuss anything, he just incessantly attacks. He isn't capable of anything else.
Hi baby killers! Still looking for tax payer dollars to pay for your personal convenience or mistakes?
Chris the nice thing is he won't be procreating any time in this century.
I'll bet he practices a lot!
You've been talking to my girlfriends? It's true, we do like to practice a lot. Thanks for your interest :-)
Blow up dolls don't talk.
In Vatican's mind they do. They're getting married.
More 'mirror imaging' from poor Whom and his latex fetish for blow up dolls; assuming others do the same. Sorry little fella. :-) You and Chris should get a room.
Vatican. I'm still waiting for all those sources for your totally rediculas BS. Show us where tax pay dollars are paying for abortions. Show us where tax payer dollars are buying birth control pills. Have you ever heard of medical insurance. Most have a Rx coverage. God forbid we nastey liberals want them to pay a claim . Kiss a frog.
Thomas. You give him far too much credit to think he came from a planet.
The Obamacare mandate calls for mandatory coverage of birth control pills and abortions, which is funded by tax payers for those citizens that can't afford health insurance. Why do you think the CBO now estimates the cost of implementing Obamacare has doubled for tax payers (aka, the federal government). You Liberals just don't get it, do you? You liberals love to spend other people's money.
Wrong. There are 6 federal laws against federaly funded abortion. Insurace must pay for birth control. If you have a policy that covers Rx, don't you believe you have the right to expect them to pay? I know, you think anything is tax payer funded. Like you pay so much. Still no sources or links.
You think "free" means magically funded by some entity other than a tax payer. Where do you think the government gets its money to fund Obamacare or whatever you Liberals call that atrocity. :-)
larry74 You know, your a brainless wonder. Your always popping of say "Show me your source" or "where the facts."
Ok brainless wonder you libs are crying about the free birth control. Then explain to me about The father in Tennessee that fathered 30 children with 11 women. Or how about the lady in Tampa the had 15 children with one in the oven. And still there was free birth control. It won't stop if you laid it in the pawm of their hand. Now prison time would stop it. And you libs wonder where's the MONEY> WOW!
On the abortion issue I agree with Larry. Abortion not only should be legal, for liberals it should be mandatory. Just imagine millions of liberals aborting millions of future liberals. In just one generation we could have a normal country.
Here we go with more right wing stupidity, put people in prison at a cost of $3500 per person per month of tax payers dollars to prevent insurance companies having to pay a few dollars for birth control. Then he insists that will work yet he ignores that prison doesn't stop crimes, so all he is doing is spending huge amounts of tax dollars to do nothing. Then he wonders why he lacks credibility and gets made fun of for the stupid ideals he posts. Then when prison get over crowded by all these new types of sex offenders and dangerous criminals start getting released he will whine about crime. The stupidity of the right goes marching on.
eugene::: And NEUTERING should be mandatory for people such as yourself. Then we would have a country of SANE people
I can only hope you're sterile so you don't procreate and give us more lunatic liberals in our Republic. :-)
Vatican - you're the most mean spirited poster I've ever seen here and it's really un-cool of you to be this disruptive.
Your momma brought you up wrong.
To everyone else, let this serve as a living example of what a troll really is. He's out to try and ruin this for everyone for amusement.
There are a few of us here who regularly disagree with the left, but none of us regular dissenters have ever treated any of you with this level of disrespect even when our debates become spirited.
That's all I have to say on this.
Just a test....
Wow, such a heated argument over such a simple matter. Let's look at the FACTS
1) Women own 100% of the vagina that every HETEROSEXUAL male wants.
2) Women own, or control 50% of the worlds money. (as a minimum)
3) If they wished it, women could control 50% of the 50% that they don't already control - marry, divorce, and IF they get real lucky, they get 80% in divorce court...my wife says that women rule the world, and I for one believe her!
And as far as temper tantrums go, the wife also says "Next they'll be blaming it on PMS."
Victor. No argument from me. My wife says something, I listen closely.
Larry, I knew you wore the panties and your wife wears the pants based on your posts in this blog. :-)
Thanks Victor.... I believe your wife has it right. But.......
I'm Not Gonna Let It Bother Me Tonight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJNUiA3Ft8M
Just can't get enough of this song!!!!!!
Vatican. That proves your not married. But hell, I expect nothing but insults from little boys. Someday you might grow up, but I doubt it.
So unless we men as graveling to our wives as you do; that proves I'm single? No, it proves I'm not some liberal lap dog that you call men on the left. :-) Don't worry, us Conservative men will take care of your women.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww gross!
vat-Rat -= What a GOMER !!! your Ignorance/Arrogance and Self-Proclaimed God-like attitude is showing !!!
We like it better when you have the rubber ball in your mouth Beth as you should be seen and not heard... and only in small doses so as not to bring about erectile dysfunction.
Vatican, we like it better when you are neither seen nor heard. Why don't you crawl back under the skunk cabbage leaf under which your mother found you. You are the sorriest ackjass that I have ever seen or heard. I hope the gene pool stopped with you-- I feel sorry for your parents having to claim you.
Hi Susie "scissors" or so I've heard from your girlfriend. I bet you applauded your gay President on his recent declaration. :-)
I've seen a lot of idiotic posts but Vatican outdoes them all. It must be difficult to be that ignorant.
Nah if ignorance was painful he would have died from pain in first grade.
He makes it look so easy!
What is really amusing is they try so hard to get people going but like their sex lives they fail miserably. About the only reaction they get is hysterical laughter which pretty much reflects their experience the first and last time they got naked in front of a woman. That is why they love their gas guzzlers and guns.
Lori, good news. You will never need to give any guy birth control. Just smile and wala! :-) a true gift!
LoriAnne Rusak MacKenzie All right professor.. You made your 2 cent BS remark. Now make your point. Question, Do you and whomitmay work together. Surly your not a government worker too!
Poor irish still grasping at straws and still getting the short one, oh yeah he is good at grasping little things he has had a life time of that.
Na, not grasping at all. Your the perfect Obama poster child.
And you are the perfect poster child to why women should have mandatory abortions. A slacker who uses government computers provided by the state for him to do job searches, he wastes time blogging anti government nonsense on left leaning blogs hoping to cash in on the Koch dollars.
You said it , not I. . Can you JUST TRY AND have a better COME BACK.
What are you 10 or something? We already know you are not credible and your posts are worthless 10 year old idealism at best as most 10 year olds know more then you.
whomitmay::: And you make a good poster child for spaying and neutering. It should have been done to your parents, but since it wasn't neutering should have been done to you.
Why do the republicans care so much about the dumbest topics? Abortions, gay marriage and guns. I just don't get why they don't focus on more important things, thats all.
Like Democrats focusing on jobs and the economy vs. healthcare? Ah, yes - I see now. More important things like phony wars on xxxx.
It's McCain wanting to arm the Syrian rebels. It was GWB got us into 2 unfunded, un winable conflicts. What wars would you be talking about Democrats starting?
GWB got us into a war after 9/11 when Al Qaeda attacked America? Really? So what would be the appropriate response to defend our nation? Toss a few cruise missiles and call it a day like Clinton? I do enjoy listening to Liberal pacifists that could care less about our Republic but enjoy the benefits that are defended by our armed forces. Typical liberal coward. So FDR (Democrat) for us into WWII. Democrats got us into Vietnam. Democrats got us into WWI. Democrats got us into Korea. Get it?
Al Qaeda was in Pakistan/Afghanistan turdvat! Saddam did not have "weapons of mass destruction".
What Saddam did have was OIL! That big ol Shel sign on Iraqi soil did not help our country one single bit ~ but is sure did help Cheney's coffers!
You ought to check out his net worth at the beginning of his term as vp and then his net worth upon leaving the White House.
Tell me how you make millions and millions while a public servant??????
You use the Army to do your personal bidding is what you do!
Republicans are a murderous bunch of greedy vultures masquerading in religious garb.
Obama/Biden 2012
Iraq had nothing to do with 911 and everybody knows it that know how to think. I guess that's why Vatican hasn't figured it out yet.
Larry vat supports a draft dodger that supported the draft as long as someone else was drafted in Mittens place, he even carried pro draft signs at rallies. Now who is the cowards.
Whom, what years did Obama serve in the military? What was he doing during the Gulf War in the '90s? Hmmm, cowardice as he played student all his years; never having a real job in the private sector. That's your loser President - a perfect reflection of all of you Liberals. Failure. So Larry, you have a problem with the Iraq War, okay that one of two wars. So what's your problem with Afghanistan since the 9/11 attacks? Come on little pacifist. I'm trying to make this easy for you. :-)
Saddam did not have "weapons of mass destruction".
I guess he gassed a few hundred thousand Iraqis with Chanel #5 .
The UN told Saddam 11 times to show the world what he did with WMD. He said NO!!!! GWB said NO is unacceptable...Here we come.
Now I ask you. Did Saddam get a chance to use his WMD on us?
Just as Larry and many leftist on this blog have selective hearing when it comes to their liberal peers on this blog, they also has a selective memory when it comes to Iraq and their use of nerve gas and other chemical munitions (WMD) to kill thousands of Iraqi Kurds in the north, which was verified by the United Nations. Typical Liberals that can't get beyond their self-hate and loathing to reach the truth. :-)
Well vat if you had half a mind you would know Obama wasn't old enough to serve because by the time he was 18 the US no longer had a draft. BTW vat funny how you just can't grasp that Mittens supported the war but refused to join, oh wait that is right republicans are hypocrites of the worst sort, always waving flags and hiding under blankets when it is time to put themselves in harms way. Cowards.
Nobody stopped Obama from raising his right hand and volunteering to serve in our armed forces. You don't need to have a draft to serve in the military, but you would know that if you were a US citizen, which you're not. Right little foreigner? :-)
Once again vat did you raise your hand and volunteer or did you hide under your bed saying here GWB take my rights away and protect me from the terrorists. Why would anyone go into the military when there is no need as the country isn't at war. Yet you seem not to mind that Mittens supported the war as long as someone else got drafted to fight the war. Again comparing apples to vaginas,. BTW vat just where in the laws of the land does it say US citizens have to join the military to be citizens. You would know that if you had an education.
Vat
One of the reasons GWB went into Iraq is because for years liberals cried about how badly the Iraqi people were being treated by their government. Then all of a sudden they bitched about GWB going in.
Protecting lowlife Iraqis is the last reason to start a war in my opinion....screw 'em all.
I agree. The left is not anti-War; just anti-Bush. They all cheered with our involvement in Libya, which showed their hypocrisy.
Eugen...........your sorry, lowlife comments reek with stupidity! Estimates calculate as many as 1 million Iraqi civilians deaths from the US invasion!Your arrogant self seems to imply we did them a favor! We did them no favor.
But Cheney and his cohorts made millions upon millions and are still making millions!
Here's the bottom line...........not if every single stolen, bloody dime where spent on Cheney's heart, it would not and will not be enough to keep it beating as long as he would like! The stench of his name will remain forever!
Obama/Biden 2012
Libya was a United Nations collaboration. Iraq was not.
Estimates calculate as many as 1 million Iraqi civilians deaths from the US invasion!
That's what happens to a country of cowards that allow a creep like Saddam to take power and stay in power for decades.
But Cheney and his cohorts made millions upon millions and are still making millions!
I made a few bucks myself. Defense stocks did pretty good. I went to a Republican fundraiser hosted by Sheldon Adelson and Steve Wynn. Cheney was there and he's a pretty decent guy. Do you know anything about these guys that you haven't read on liberalcrackuser.com?
Vatican:: You don't remember WW2 do you? We were attacked by the Japanese-- but I guess you don't know that. We had a naval base on Hawaii, aircraft on the ground, ships in Pearl Harbor. You don't recall that? How well I do. That is why we got into WW2 in the Pacific. As for the ETO, we were asked for our help. Our allies asked us.
Maybe you should go back and read some history. That is, if you can read. I can tell you don't have a brain between your ears. Oh that's right-- all you can do is look at pictures in a comic book. Your mommy has to read the comic book to you, and even then you don't understand what she is saying.
Susie, you sound like an old fart that spent too much time wishing you were a man to get respect. :-)
OK. My profile on vatican is this: 30 to 40 year old white male who's a bit dysfunctional in regular society but due to normal male agression, he needs an outlet for all of that energy. Trolling fulfills that role. It's that simple. He gets his kicks this way. Case solved! Oh, and chances are, he's never had sex...with a real woman, that is. I'm serious.
I enjoy the fact that you spent your time thinking and writing about me on this blog. I'm in your head!
Dr Phil? Is that you?
I Feel Goooooood!!!!!!

The ultimate cowardice by Republicans since Mitt Romney's sunday interview! Cowards, if you won't say it don't be trying to get in it. Women must know the far right seeks to shackle women back to stove because of their belief in the supremacy of men as found in all abrahamic religious interpretation....and all the interpretation written down is by men, what an odd coincidence......
The GOP plan is to requite that women license, bond, register and submit to having their vaginas monitored. So the "small government"...more like small brains.....GOP want to tell women what decisions they can make that they have the legal right to make. The GOP sole goal is to repeal the 20th century. Pathetic. The neo-conservative movement is dying and will be gone in years if they continue this, even they are repulsed by how idiotic they are.
The tea party's party is dead and fake libertarian conservaticism will join it shortly
What are republicans even doing at all bro? Just telling women what to do with their vaginas. Being super obsessed with what gay people do. Wanting to build colonies on the moon. Hating black people, mexicans anyone who isn't white with at least 12 guns. What are they doing in support of workers? What jobs are they creating? All they do is send jobs to India, make record profits and cry and say Obama is a socialist and they don't have enough and always want more. When I think of a republican I think of greed, selfishness and homophobia.
Hey yall right wing nuts, tea-baggers, and the rest of the "riff-raff", GET A LIFE!
They're pigs and I hate them. I need to start building those guillotines.
Don't worry we think you're all pig $h!t so the feeling is mutual. :-)
teabaggin'-gop-neo-con-Nazi's are PIGS !!!!
Purposefully
Ignorant
Greedy
Sleazebags !!
It is not the job of the congress to dictate morality! Besides, they are immoral and hypocrites. Kick them all back to the private sector!
Sounds like Vatican 12442 should crawl back in his mother's womb before he makes an ass of himself, Oh!, Oh! to late he's out now so let us lady liberals set him straight. If you take a good look you can see this crazy fool looks like a dog, sorry to all dogs out there..
Hey, it's another ugly NOW protester acting like the man she is. "Lady" Liberals... haha, that's a good one... "lady". You're just another confused lesbian 'man hater' marching with the rest of your crazy irrelevant ilk, beating the same tired drum of hypocrisy. Get laid, you might feel better and normal. :-)
Lori-3575093 Your pretty sharp. Maybe your mother should go back to customer service on you. Make your point. And quit your barking!
Really a 3rd grade play ground insult.
We assumed you would recognize it as such since you're not smarter than a 5th grader. :-)
Vatican12442 What we have here is a government worker, that is clueless of his own personal existence. He has no preparation for his own future. The only switch he has in his head is, "PULL DOWN IN CASE OF FIRE." Isn't that right whomitmay
Poor little irish any day now he hopes he will get that big Koch industry check so he can get off welfare and no longer have to go to work first classes.
hell, hath no fury
Over 8% unemployment
Over 40 million on food stamps
Over 12 million people out of work
And this all you liberals can talk about?????
The abortion issue is not going to put people to work!!!!!
Ask anyone out of work, the last thing they could care about is some crack whore getting a paid for with tax dollars abortion.....
Let's spell it out plainly to the masses - the republicans hate you and are planning on taking your Social Security funds and gambling with them on the market
That's laughable. The only middle class baby boomers that are getting to retire comfortably, and in some cases luxuriously, are those that took advantage of "the market". SS is peanuts.
Just remember $1 invested in Proctor and Gamble 30 years ago is worth $60 today. $1 invested in SS is worth.............maybe a nickel....LOL
Dem E Tell me more about the evil corporations.
did you see most of those gals there is not enuff beer on earth to get a guy to touch there vaginas so they can wave a sign
What joe misses out on is they wouldn't even date a guy like joe because they have higher standards joe will never be able to met. The only way joe will get a date is if joes bil dies and wills joe his wife.
whom
Every liberal I ever dated couldn't wait for my phone calls! Usually by the 3rd date it was a weekend in Vegas or a theater weekend in NYC. Liberal women back then were a lot different than liberal women today. Liberals today hate more than at any other time in our history.
Right jerry just more proof that you have never dated a woman.
Joe from B'ham Your right, Those have to be Eds girls. Think I saw whomitmay wife too.
Better get a SICK pack.
This from the guy who wants to frisk Al Sharpton.
If you read the other side of their signs, it says, "Mooooooo!" signed, "Ed's Angels" :-)
Look vat wants irish to frisk him too.
Shhh Whom. I'm trying to find you a girlfriend here. "Moooooo! Mooooo!" I think it's working Whom.. get ready little fella :-)
whomitmay So help me you had to come from a comic book. Archie Bunker had to be your brother
Right except Archie Bunker was pure 100% republican, what made Archie funny was his stupidity of the world around him and his misinformed beliefs, gee who sounds that stupid, look in the mirror. Just goes to show once again you don't know jack.
Why do the "flat earth" right wingers want to wage war on women and their bodies? We have no time for this radical reactionary agenda when looking at all our problems with our infrastructure, energy sector, and our public school and higher education system. Women need access to family planning and birth control services period. Abortion services on demand need to be available for women in all 50 states period. Government programs requiring insurance companies to pay for family planning and birth control programs have been put in place by the Affordable Care Act. These laws need to be made stronger. Conservatives are on the wrong side of history by pretending like they have a right to tell women what do with their bodies. Conservatives want to take us back to the days of the bloody coat hangar abortion because conservatives are intellectual zombies living in a parallel universe.
Any conservative that gets in the way of full funding of family planning and birth control programs for women needs to be told to shut up and get out of the way. If necessary soldiers with bayonets and M-16's should guard abortion clinics along with U.S. Marshals. We no longer have the luxury of allowing conservatives to shove their religious beliefs down our throats while our economy and jobs and national competitiveness are slipping away when compared to Asia.
America has been slipping by underfunding its public sector for many years now. Our infrastructure is in terrible shape. The American Society of Civil Engineers says that we are $2.2 trillion behind in infrastructure maintenance. France has bullet trains that can beat commuter jets on trips under 500 kilometers. Where are America's bullet trains? The Germans have wind farms in the North Sea connected to a smart grid with a bustling solar panel industry all through the industrial Ruhr and into Bavaria as far as Munich. Where are our wind farms and solar panel industries and smart grids here in America?
We have a country that we have to reform and invest in so that we can compete against the highly industrialized BRIC countries and the Asian-Pacific Rim countries in the global economy of the 21st century. We need all the engineers, scientists, mathematicians, technicians, and highly trained workers and teachers that we can produce. Every job and new high tech start up in America will only come here if we can compete against the BRIC's and Asian-Pacific rim countries. We need human capital investments, green energy, and state of the art infrastructure. We are not going to get their if we allow the hard right winged conservatives to take American women back into the 19th century when we must live and compete in the 21st global economy. If we do not squash the right winged agenda the BRIC countries and Asian-Pacific Rim countries will thrive and prosper while America falls behind because we can no longer compete in a super-capitalist global economy.
Women need access to family planning and birth control services period. Abortion services on demand need to be available for women in all 50 states period.
Rex
These services are available. are you new in town?
OPPS! How stupid of me. You meant to say that these services should be paid for by someone other than the person receiving the services. Kind of like in a socialist country. That's hysterical!! I've already spent my budget of "bimbo money". I'll have to pass on that.
