I watched the pillsbury dough boy be interveiwed by 3 Ohio voters..One unemployed gentleman put newt on the spot for accusing the people drawing unemployment of watching TV all day..With a straight face , Newt tried to sell the man on doing away with unemployment insurance in trade for a federal job training program while trying to convince the man that there are jobs out there to be had...Then Newt promised to lower gas to 2.50 a gallon if he was elected...Talk about a poor acting performance...

Speaking of reelecting the President of the United States:
Obama’s improved political standing
When it comes to President Obama, the poll contains mostly good news. Fifty percent approve of his job – his highest mark in the NBC/WSJ survey since Osama bin Laden’s death – and 45 percent disapprove.
In a hypothetical general-election contest, he leads Romney by six points, 50 to 44 percent, winning independents (46-39 percent), women (55-37 percent) and those in the Midwest (52-42 percent).
Obama enjoys bigger leads over Paul (50 to 42 percent), Santorum (53 to 39 percent) and Gingrich (54 to 37 percent).
Bolstering Obama’s standing is increased optimism about the state of the U.S. economy.
Forty percent believe the economy will improve during the next year, a three-point increase from January. And looking back at the economic recession, 57 percent say that the worst is behind us, while 36 percent say the worst is still to come.
Back in November, only 49 percent said the worst was behind us.
“President Obama is probably in the best political shape he’s been in since his initial year as president,” says Hart, the Democratic pollster.
The NBC/WSJ poll was conducted from Feb. 29 through March 3 of 800 adults (including 200 by cellphone), and it has an overall margin of error of plus-minus 3.5 percentage points. The poll also contains an oversample of 185 interviews to achieve a total of 400 GOP primary voters, and that margin of error is plus-minus 4.9 percentage points.

hedge, that's how SHE pronounces her name (fluck)--watch her testimony
she wants gu to pay for her contraception even though gu is a catholic university
insurance companies do not give anything away for free--somebody is going to pay; hence, the institution that contracts with the insurance company will pay for the coverage
in both the private and public sectors, it is the individual policy members who pay for everyone else's coverage--sorry, i don't want to pay for anyone else's contraception and don't expect them to pay for mine
i don't recall any libs defending joe the plumber for asking a simple question; the attacks on him were entirely personal though his question was directed toward tax policy
fluke testified about her sex life; nothing wrong with commenting on her sex life

Comparing Joe the Plumber and this situation is a greaaaat stretch, but even if you accept it...
It sounds like you are suggesting that it is quid pro quo, and that his mistreatment therefore deserves Rush's horrific tirade.
OK. Got it.
You're a Christian, right, bookworm?
Uh-huh. Right. OK.

I don't want to pay my insurance premium because someone else eats too many Twinkies. I don't want to pay for bypass surgery.

Thanks for posting Lolli, this discussion needs to have more women involved.
Statement from Carbonite, who has pulled advertising from Limbagh's programs.
“No one with daughters the age of Sandra Fluke, and I have two, could possibly abide the insult and abuse heaped upon this courageous and well-intentioned young lady. Mr. Limbaugh, with his highly personal attacks on Miss Fluke, overstepped any reasonable bounds of decency. Even though Mr. Limbaugh has now issued an apology, we have nonetheless decided to withdraw our advertising from his show. We hope that our action, along with the other advertisers who have already withdrawn their ads, will ultimately contribute to a more civilized public discourse.”
AOL as well...
AOL announced on Monday that it is pulling its money from Limbaugh's radio program. "At AOL one of our core values is that we act with integrity," said Maureen Sullivan, an AOL spokeswoman. "We have monitored the unfolding events and have determined that Mr. Limbaugh’s comments are not in line with our values. As a result we have made the decision to suspend advertising on The Rush Limbaugh Radio show."
7 advertisers have ditched Rush.

She did not. And yes, it is.
It's out of all bonds, it's indecent behaviour, white trash level, both Rush Limbaugh's comments and everyone repeating his disgusting remarks. The comments are hateful slander, and only someone without any sense of what's appropriate conduct repeats them. They reflect an 19th century attitude towards women and can easily be concluded in one single word: loser.
She nails it!

Perhaps you'd rather you pay insurance premiums for the numerous pre-natal, plus birthing and then Post-natal medical expenses that would be incurred through unwanted pregnancies caused by contraception being harder to get. Or would you rather pay for coverage for their abortions?
Do you have any vices like food, drink or perhaps rockclimbing that could cause a medical situation you want your medical coverage to take care of?
and the university offers medical coverage as a benefit of employment which should coverage legitimate health needs. She works for those benefits, they are not a handout.
The deep foolishness of a group of people who cling a anachronistic mentality is so blatant, I'm finding it hard to believe there in drug in the kookaid that makes so many people still elect this Christain-version-of-the-taliban kinda politicians or listen to their hate speach

Ow. Imus' comments regarding Limbaugh: (from the Washington Post though it's noted elsewhere too).
Said Imus on his morning program: “He owns a Gulfstream 4. Get on it, go to Washington, take her to lunch and say, ‘Look, I’m sorry I said this stuff,’ and never do it again, period. Now, he’s an insincere pig, pill-popping pinhead.”

Latino Women (and men) More Likely to Vote Democrat than Republican:
Thank you, Rush LImbaugh, et all
Careful, this is an unbiased Fox News Poll not a liberal Main Stream Media Poll
Despite growing disappointment in his handling of immigration issues, Latino voters favor President Barack Obama by six-to-one over any of the Republican presidential hopefuls, showed a Fox News Latino poll conducted under the direction of Latin Insights and released Monday.
The national poll of likely Latino voters indicated that 73 percent of them approved of Obama’s performance in office, with over half those questioned looking favorably upon his handling of the healthcare debate and the economy, at 66 percent and 58 percent respectively.
While the poll indicates that four of five Latinos who voted for Obama in 2008 would vote for him later this year, Latinos who voted for Republican Arizona Sen. John McCain four years ago are now divided between voting for Obama and the Republican candidates. Forty percent said that they favored Obama while 38 percent said they would vote for Romney. Obama also leads Santorum 38 percent to 34, and Gingrich 40 percent to 38.
In typical Foxnews fashion, the poll goes on to serve as basically a fishing expedition to get the eventual nominee to pick Marco Rubio as Veep.
