Ok, i've given this a little more thought while running around in town running
errands....and i can see it from both sides.
we're in a town of like 16,000. We don't have a planned parenthood. In fact,
they're pretty much in urban areas - - so it is a moot point here anyway.
Small towns....at least in my opinion....its the churches and families who
handle thes things.

Why does any church need to be involved with reproductive care,
contraception, or abortion?
Those are medical issues.

What many people who lose sleep over Planned Parenthood are actually
upset about is they offer birth control. Some people obsess about poor people
having sex without the punishment of getting pregnant. See this if you forgot:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rush_Limbaugh%E2%80%93Sandra_Fluke_controversy
I don’t understand how you can be extremely anti-abortion yet also
extremely anti-contraception. Less unwanted pregnancies = less abortions.
Which is the lesser evil?
I think it comes down to some people are obsessed with sex,
especially “other” people having sex. #nosyneighbors #getalife

Did you research that video? You should. It's not what you think.

Yah, i'm kind of like Chuck here.
I don't care about gay marriage. I'm not gay, I know a handful of
gay people. Not my cup of tea but the government doesn't have any right
telling them what they can or can't do.
Same with adoption for a gay couple - shut up gov'mt. Now, I'm
not so sure on that. When I was growing up there were few gay couples who had
"come out" and we thought if the girl had a different last name than her mommy
we thought that was odd. Quite a bit different now but it could still screw
with a kids head in terms of "traditional marriage".
It would be hard to NOT state that traditional marriage has gone to
hell in this country. But then again, so many "traditional" things have gone
to hell. How many women stay at home and take care of the family while dad
goes to work?
I am in favor of defunding planned parenthood. The videos pretty
much got to me. It's MY TAX DOLLARS. Defund it. There are plenty of other
non-government-funded entities who can do that work.
Any tax is bad :)
I'm going to stop there, i will get in trouble... lol

Hey, I said I liked him. Just not full on man crush.
I didn’t see how his math added up for the budgets he proposed.
There were some missing pages where magic happened to balance the budget.
Seemed like the same old voodoo economics.
So “man crush”, is that like Trump and Putin? At least Putin
is supposedly an 8th degree black belt. He would probably take care of the
protester himself. If Trump thinks he can bully the Putins of the world, I’m
not so sure. I think McCain could take him in a fair fight. Hell, Bernie
could probably take him. I was never fond of Nixon, but the photo of the
“kitchen debate” with Khrushchev is a treasure.

I have actually followed Paul Ryan since the first time he
appeared on the national stage. Very impressed with him. Could almost call
him my "man crush". I'd be interested in hearing what you do not like about
him Ken.

I think the "establishment" is missing why people are fed up
with them, I'm
not convinced it's about left or right. If I had to single
out one person
as the poster boy for why the establishment has failed us, it
would be Mitch
McConnell. All 4 leaders in Congress have only been worried
about their own
power and re-election, but McConnell is the worst of a bad
bunch.
I don't agree with Paul Ryan's economics or some of his
politics, but I like
what he has said since being elected Speaker. I would like
to see if they
are just words, or if he would translate them into actions.
I don't think
we will get to find out, election politics seem to have
rendered him
irrelevant. And Mitch the Turtle would have to be replaced
with someone
actually interested in governing. I wonder what conservative
goals could
have been accomplished in the 7 years Mitch has spent trying
to make Obama
fail no matter how much damage it causes. Tort reform?
Modifications to
Obamacare? Fix sequestration? Tax reform? Immigration
reform? Mitch
doesn't care. Mitch cares about Mitch. That's the problem
with the
establishment, they spend all their effort on getting elected
and staying in
power, they don't even pretend to do their job. And let me
be clear, I'm
not saying Pelosi, Reid and Boehner were much better, it's
just McConnell is
the most blatant hack of the bunch, every time I see him on
TV I feel he is
giving me the finger.
I am probably fooling myself that Paul Ryan would be
different, but I don't
think we'll find out.

IMO, Obama moved right, and the Republicans moved further to
the right.
