OT: American Politics

Just remember that if Romney gets in it was because Obama and his cohorts were ****ing incompetent. I likened Obama to Jimmy Carter years back and I still maintain that.

Agreed, its a shit sandwich either way here. Are you sure you're not running Habsy, I'd vote for you
 
How do you know his response was based on religious beliefs? There's no evidence he governed Mass. based on religious beliefs.

I mean in general. I was being nice when I said it's okay if it's private; Mormons are whack. So are they all IMO...christian, catholic, all those crazy pagans... but the republican party as a whole is chock full 'o nuts. Anybody that wants creationism taught in public school should not be allowed near politics.
 
Re: OT: Canadian Politics

are you ridiculous? cork has been talking about pensions the whole time, not salary.

no it doesnt. he talks about pensions. not about salary, or the fact that we make too much.

his key, key recommendation, and the reason why it has been rejected by mcweasel, is to scrap full day kindergarten and scrap his lower class sizes for primary grades. mcweasel sees those as his two signature education policies, he doesnt want to cut those, so he is coming after US to pay for them. its the equivalent of asking firemen to pay for new firetrucks they receive out of their own salaries.
 
It can absolutely be based on a variety of other reasons than simply religion. Batshit crazy works too.

... "IN FAIRNESS HE COULD NOT BE SAYING HE'LL CUT IT CUZ OF RELIGIOUS REASONS HE COULD SIMPLY BE A LUNATIC!!!1"

Oh ok, I'll vote for him now. :sarcasm
 
what other reason could there be to cut funding for Planned Parenthood?

There are several motivating factors in canning it.

The irony I see is that Romney is basically saying you can't have an abortion and we won't educate you on raising the kid you can't abort healthily and won't help you take care of your own body. Basically, don't get pregant. If you **** we'll make sure the government ****s you too.

What are they?

*Actually, at the end of the day, it really seems like it comes back to that "Buy it yourself." line that O'Reilly kept saying in his debate with Stewart. It doesn't matter that Planned Parenthood does a whole bunch of great things for women's health - many Americans seem to have an every man for himself mindset. That is kind of disturbing to me.
 
If he's opposed to abortion then he would be opposed to PP, wouldn't he? I used to be pro-choice but not so much anymore, yet I also do not believe in God. My anti-abortion view (except in the case of rape, incest, etc.) has zero to do with religion.
 
What are they?

Any budgetary cuts to programs that don't help his base are political points.

He'd batshit crazy.

He's afraid his boys will get knocked up and taken care of.

The program is miss-run (which is true) and should be done away with instead of fixed.

And the real reason is he really wants abortions done so why the need for planned parenthood.
