The Republican National Convention's adoption of the anti-Humanity/anti-Economy platform put the bullet in the head of the Grand Ole Party.
RIP
You will be remembered for:
Voter Suppression
Decreasing Access to Health Care for All Americans

Why am I voting Democrat in this election?
Because the conservatives have vowed to defund or underfund those issues which I hold most dear: Healthcare for All and Education.
I like sharing. I like working as a group to make our little piece of the world a better place. I think we get more done that way.
I think a strong Primary Care system will promote better health in the American public. The Affordable Care Act is a good start toward promoting better coverage of Primary Care services. It needs tweaking, but it's a good start. Repealing it is like throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Change it, but don't abandon it.
Education should be free, no matter what, but admission should be competitive. Education leads to research, which leads to discovery, which leads to innovation and new technology, which leads to new industries, which grows the economy. You then turn around and invest some of the profit (in the form of taxes) back into education to continue the cycle. The conservative notion that high taxes stagnate the economy is disingenuous. Like the stock market, education is a long term investment, but the rewards are bountiful.
It is both my right and my duty to vote for those issues which I hold most dear, and I intend to do so. I can not support any candidate who holds a YOYO platform, which is the foundation of Romney/Ryan.
Anyone who shows up on here to make fun of me, belittle me, call me unpatriotic or naive or any other epithet. Save your breath. It's one thing to ask why something is important to me. Something else to begin a conversation with "you're wrong, and this is why. . ." I don't go to your house to make fun of you or tell you that your ideas are backwards (bad manners), so don't come to mine and do that to me. Violators will be banned.
I'm tired of being gracious in the face of outright rudeness

For all those state and federal congress critters who think that if a woman is forceably impaled with a hard object she will have a more sentimental feeling about the embryo in her uterus. Here's a copy of the non-descript lump of tissue she and the doctor will be seeing.
Very cute.
I'm not sure at this stage (6 weeks) what species it is. But a lump of cells never looked so adorable. Yes, the wand up the vagina is punative. It serves no medical purpose, provides no diagnostic data. I don't care if you're pro- or anti-abortion. Women should not be forced to have invasive medical procedures for no purpose.
What are we, Nazis?
