I notice that no one addresses the subject of equal pay for the same work. Just crying and trying to avoid the subject I guess.
Leslie Marshall, who appears weekly on The O'Reilly Factor, America Live, monthly on Hannity and she sits in for Bob Beckel as one of the co hosts on The Five. puts is pretty bluntly.....................
Now you Republican apologizes can cry, dance and stick you heads in the sand, but come Nov., it will be time to cry, cry, cry, if there is not a huge, convincing change in the attitude and proposals of GOP legislators.
I'm going to address a quote you had in this (it didn't cut, so I'm doing it here) and I'm going to break it down
I've said it before I'll say it again: As a woman, you can't win with the GOP. They don't want you to have sex, get pregnant, prevent pregnancy, and if you want to avoid pregnancy, don't use birth control. And if you're going to use birth control, they don't want to pay for it. And if you want to run down the street to Planned Parenthood, well, they want to cut the funding for that. And if you get pregnant, have the baby. But they want to cut funding programs like food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, welfare, etc. You see the point? Or perhaps the problem?
Part 1:
They don't want you to have sex, get pregnant, prevent pregnancy, and if you want to avoid pregnancy, don't use birth control
-Republicans don't feel this way, and they need to be more clear about it. I think for the most part, you won't see the republicans (most of them anyways) preaching abstinence. What they don't want is to foot the bill for it whatever happens after sex, and they (we) shouldn't.
Part 2
And if you're going to use birth control, they don't want to pay for it. And if you want to run down the street to Planned Parenthood, well, they want to cut the funding for that.
As I said, it's not the taxpayers problems to pay for the irresponsibility of other people. The only people who should be paying for Planned Parenthood or contraceptives are the ones who intend to use it. And I can't even believe I'm saying that on Planned Parenthood and the evil that it is.
Part 3
And if you get pregnant, have the baby. But they want to cut funding programs like food stamps, Medicaid, Medicare, welfare, etc.
Getting pregnant is the result of an action. That action could be responsible, or irresponsible, but that's ultimately irrelevant. Food Stamps, Medicaid, Medicare and Welfare all had their place, but they've been greatly abused. They should be cut back, because the irresponsibility that it has caused has led to a sense of entitlement, and a large sense of laziness on the Americans who abuse the sytem.
Part 4
You see the point? Or perhaps the problem
I'm not sure you're making a point, are you? The problem here is in the rhetoric used by the conservatives. Simple as that. They aren't wrong, they just have a terrible time of how to state their issue.
Your last statement (your own, not the quote I've been using) I think is right. If the republicans can't save face they are screwed.
