The GOP only loves pretty "plastic" Stepford women who keeps their mouths shut, screw on demand, and look the other way at affairs. They don't like women in general, certainly not as people, only as objects, but they particularly hate those women who are "uppity" or "outspoken" or "argumentative" or fight for their rights or their children rights.
What do you call a million Republicans at the bottom of the ocean? A good start!
You really wouldn't need an ocean to hold their morals or their morality (which they call Christianity)... you could drown all their morals and their morality in a bathtub...and still fit their damn elephant in there with it.

Rick Santorum's Stone Throwing...
http://thinkprogress.org/lgbt/2012/01/04/397355/rick-santorums-top-10-most-outrageous-campaign-statements/
My comment on this article:
Santorum is a total FAIL on every level I've seen so far. A judgmental faux-Christian who would cheerfully bring back the Inquisition for anyone who practices any beliefs other than his Judeo-Christian biblical interpretations. He espouses Taliban-like control of everyone and would bring an anti-Christ-like, Sharia Law to the United States. I absolutely see him throwing the first stone at a rape victim.....

Dazed and Confused Democrats
My response to OurFuture.Org article "Dazed and Confused" http://www.ourfuture.org/blog-entry/2012010103/dazed-and-confused ...about Democrats who are going to vote for Ron Paul
I have less patience with the spoiled-brat Dems who haven't gotten everything they think they were promised, than I do with the RWNJ Tea Partiers who are just certifiably crazy and nihilistic. If these people would shut off the damn reality shows and started watching their Senate and House of Reps in action, they'd be less critical of what the President has/or has not gotten done. He is not perfect, but leagues better than the racist, ridiculous Ron Paul could do. Ron Paul does believe what he says and tells the truth "as he sees it" but his truth is is childishly naive and selfish in the extreme. I do not want my country living "every man, woman, and child" on their own for survival. I am Ron Paul's age and I think he's dumber than normal if he hasn't seen enough history to recognize what has worked well and what has not worked for We the People in the past. I was raised by Depression Era parents who believed, and taught me, that when you crawled out of a hole, you reached back and pulled others up with you to move forward, you sure as hell didn't leave them in the ditch to die when you could help.

We are Many...They are few
1819..at the start of the Occupy Movement
'Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number - Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you - Ye are many - they are few.'
......The Masque of Anarchy by Percy Bysshe Shelley. written
to commemorate massacre carried out by the British Government
of their own people at Peterloo, Marlborough, England in 1819.
Masses of poverty-stricken, starving & homeless citizens stood
together passive and unresisting in a field in Peterloo to protest
their condition in Dickensonian England. The Government sent armed
troops against them to break them up, but the citizens stood their
ground and did not resist the attacks. They stood arm in arm and
silent against their attackers as many were killed. The military
finally refused to continue attacking their own people.
If you have interest in reading the whole Epic Poem you can find

Ballot Box Love
The following is my comment to a Paul Krugman quote on MoveOn website 11/18/11
We do not need to reinvent the wheel. We have a beautiful and amazing Constitution, written for us by men who wanted citizens to be free of the greedy and to have a say in the life they led. We also have obligations as citizens.We have the ballot box and we have our vote which the greedy and corporations cannot buy if we do not sell it to them. Keep your eye on the prize and don't let the "reality show fraud" turn you from our goal of a country that works and cares for the many, not just the few. We can fix everything we need to fix, and set ourselves on the road to a future that works for us all by using the ballot box as it was intended. The difference in between us is that "We the People" love our country and we care for each other; the greedy only care about money and we are a disposable tool for them to get more of it. We must stop them legally, strongly, and by our voices and our presence at the ballot box.

Occupy has already changed the dialogue and They are taking notice of us out here. Keystone XL got derailed. We turned the tide when we sent 50,000+ letters and made God knows how many phone calls to congress and the President The Balanced Budget Amendment today got stopped dead in its tracks....can you imagine that happening 2 months ago. Some Republicans even voted against it. The Republicancer will keep trying to stop us but we will not be stopped. Slow and steady wins the race. We will not fix it all at once, but I am hopeful that by next election time we will be voting in a strong majority progressive House and filibuster proof senate. We already have a President who will sign the bills if Congress can get the bills to him. In all likelihood he will appoint 2 Supreme Court judges in his next term and they are likely to be progressive or moderate. If not, we will still have the ability to vote to amend the constitution to state that corporations are not people. The Ayn Rand worshippers are on the wrong side of history. We will not be "objectified" because we are not objects, we are human beings with rights and needs. We are many - They are few.

Reponse to Post by Robert Reich about 2012 Campaign
This is my response to an article by Robert Reich in Nation of Change.
http://www.nationofchange.org/why-we-may-be-store-passionless-presidential-race-1321107895
http://www.nationofchange.org/why-we-may-be-store-passionless-presidential-race-1321107895
I am not passionless about Obama. I am a fan of Mr. Reich's and agree with a lot of this but I think he is unfair in many of the things he says about the President. He knows full well that constitutionally Pres.Obama cannot do it on his own. The President and the Democrats have been hamstrung and knee-capped repeatedly with record numbers of filibusters used for nothing more than to totally stop government in its tracks.
Can you imagine how frustrating for the President and Democrats in Congress and Senate ; how mentally exhausting it must be to try to persuade the other side when they've made it clear they will not agree to anything you want just to make sure you fail. The President knows they don't care if the country fails and Americans are hurt but he cares so he tries to save what little he can. In spite of zero cooperation from the Republicans, there was phenomenal progress made in the first two years. There is a long list of accomplishments by this President since he's been in office, and yet it is never enough, and spoiled brats and lazy people scream "why hasn't he done it all?"
Where were you in 2010? Were you pissed off and sitting it out or making a point by voting for the RWNJ Teapartiers just to teach the Pres. and Dems a lesson? When you lay down with dogs, you WILL get fleas and that is exactly what many did in 2010 much to our dismay. Now we are infested with people, like Eric Cantor, Paul Ryan, Joe Walsh, Scott Walker who will take the country down just to have their way. The whiners said "Why didn't we get single payer?" (there was not enough support to pass it) and stamped their feet like 2 year olds and didn't vote. We heard "Why didn't he close Guantanamo?" (because Congress wouldn't let him) and so people pitched a fit and "showed him" and voted with the Tea Party. President Obama is a President, not a King. He cannot push these bills through without help.
Hopefully you have you seen what's been happening lately. People have gotten engaged in their government and thing ARE changing and you need to help. Stop whining and get out in the streets and register voters, Occupy something, vote in every election, run for political office. Get off you knees and take your country where it needs to go, instead of whining and dragging your feet. Stop watching Reality TV and start watching CSPAN when they are debating and voting on issues. Call your Senators and Congressman and tell them what you want. Make them aware you are paying attention to what they are doing. Write them, email them, tweet them...all the time. Everyday. Go to the Whitehouse.gov site and tell the President too. Stop watching "Dancing with the Stars" and call your government officials instead. The Obama Campaign was never "yes he can" it was "YES WE CAN...but once the 2008 election was over "WE" went missing in action
