On the eve of key Super Tuesday contests, they find themselves on the defensive over birth control, embarrassed by conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh and tripped up by subjects bearing little relation to the day-to-day concerns of Americans.


All the while, President Barack Obama's ratings are climbing.



Reagan's 11th Commandment about speaking no evil about a fellow Republican is in shreds....

It's all good, I'd rather this stuff be here now than October...

Maybe the cry should be "Inoculate!"

The whole argument is silly. I have a right to own and bear arms, if my company doesn't give me free guns it isn't "taking my right away".

I don't get medications for free. Some, like Chantix, aren't covered at all. Does that mean my right to take Chantix was "taken" from me? It really is just a silly argument.

That being said, the reaction from some people, like Rush Limbaugh, certainly is a negative. They simply fell for a ploy and allowed the basic central argument to be derailed into something more comfortable for Democrats.

The government does not have a right to tell people that they must reject the basic precepts of their religion and provide a product that they find morally wrong. That you and I agree it isn't morally wrong to take birth control doesn't change that reality.

Imagine an argument that forced a peacenik institution to give guns to their employees for free because it is their right to own them... It's nonsense.
 
A lot of the public thinks it's silly to focus on banning birth control when our economy is struggling to recover from the Bush crash.

Yet that's what the GOP panderers are doing.

I certainly agree that this particular argument is a way to distract from the dismal record of the current President in dealing with a debt crisis.

Nah, they simply fell into a foolish trap, one that you often see used on the "social conservative" republicans... If the left can keep the right from pointing out the crippling amount of debt that we set upon ourselves in the name of "stimulus" and how ineffective it was, and how the President who claims fiscal responsibility while tripling the Bush deficits and keep them talking about birth control they'll have a much better chance at winning.

It's working, then.Former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill fired in a shakeup of Bush's economic team in December 2002, raised objections to a new round of tax cuts and said the president balked at his more aggressive plan to combat corporate crime after a string of accounting scandals because of opposition from "the corporate crowd," a key constituency.O'Neill said he tried to warn Vice President Dick Cheney that growing budget deficits-expected to top $500 billion this fiscal year alone-posed a threat to the economy. Cheney cut him off. "You know, Paul, Reagan proved deficits don't matter," he said, according to excerpts. Cheney continued: "We won the midterms (congressional elections). This is our due." A month later, Cheney told the Treasury secretary he was fired. http://www.ontheissues.org/2004/Dick_Cheney_Budget_+_Economy.htm
