		<description>That is correct, liberals do not respect human life, yet they respect animal life.  I have seen posts where our young claim they would even take thier own life for a wolf.   OMG   Who is crazy?

I wish some of these people would be willing to sacrifice for unborn children, but no, only wolves...

I personally have five children, am married, can afford them, and am raising them to be anti-abortion, and anti-wolf.  The more like me, the sooner the wolves and liberals will be the minority, and they will no longer pose a threat.  I will be keeping my guns as well.  LOL</description>

		<description>Certain studies have indicated that those who support abortion attempt to compensate for guilty feelings by doting on animals even to the extreme of putting animal life ahead of humans.</description>

		<description>You know, there is a strange allignment between the abortion pushers and the animal &quot;rights&quot; lovers....Has everyone or anyone noticed that? Maybe they are so far off base, they can&#039;t seem to get any moral ground right...or they just don&#039;t think that humans mean as much as animals! Or are they just so far away from what God wants for us that they just don&#039;t care anymore?

   Either way, I would bet the persentages of those who don&#039;t fear God or follow Him, have the highest scores in both catagories!

   And to bring God&#039;s teachings into the discussion, would rile the Hell out of them!</description>

		<description>I guess the best dirt they can come up with is that her 17 year old daughter is in the family way?  But is this news worth a whole day of coverage by the &quot;O&quot; loving news media?</description>

		<description>THIS IS MOVING.  HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET.....IF ....WE EVER KNEW......
 
WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE

This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers; they lived only 90 years ago. Remember, it was not until 1920
 
that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.

The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed
nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking
for the vote.

And by the end of the night, they were barely alive.
Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden&#039;s blessing
went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of
&#039;obstructing sidewalk traffic.&#039;


(Lucy Burns)
They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above
her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping
for air.

(Dora Lewis)
They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her
head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cellmate,
Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack.
Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging,
beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women.

Thus unfolded the &#039;Night of Terror&#039; on Nov. 15, 1917, when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his
guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because
they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson&#039;s White House for the right
to vote.
For weeks, the women&#039;s only water came from an open pail. Their
food--all of it colorless slop--was infested with worms.

(Alice Paul)
When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks
until word was smuggled out to the press.

So, refresh my memory. Some women won&#039;t vote this year because-
-why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work?
Our vote doesn&#039;t matter? It&#039;s raining?

Last week, I went to a sparsely attended screening of HBO&#039;s new
movie &#039;Iron Jawed Angels.&#039; It is a graphic depiction of the battle
these women waged so that I could pull the curtain at the polling
booth and have my say. I am ashamed to say I needed the reminder.

All these years later, voter registration is still my passion. But the
actual act of voting had become less personal for me, more rote.
Frankly, voting often felt more like an obligation than a privilege.
Sometimes it was incon venient.

My friend Wendy, who is my age and studied women&#039;s history,
saw the HBO movie, too. When she stopped by my desk to talk
about it, she looked angry. She was--with herself. &#039;One thought
kept coming back to me as I watched that movie,&#039; she said.
&#039;What would those women think of the way I use, or don&#039;t use,
my right to vote? All of us take it for granted now, not just
younger women, but those of us who did seek to learn.&#039; The
right to vote, she said, had become valuable to her &#039;all over again.&#039;

HBO released the movie on video and DVD . I wish all history,
social studies and government teachers would include the movie in
their curriculum I want it shown on Bunco night, too, and anywhere
else women gather. I realize this isn&#039;t our usual idea of socializing,
but we are not voting in the numbers that we should be, and I think
a little shock therapy is in order.

It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn&#039;t make her crazy.

The doctor admonished the men: &#039;Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.&#039;

Think about it She could have refused McCain, might be she ain&#039;t crazy??</description>

		<description>Actually, it annoys me that McCain selected yet another &quot;trophy woman&quot; as his running mate. There are several well-qualified and experienced women who could have filled the bill, yet he chose a &quot;hottie&quot;. Sort of like throwing away the first wife when a newer model comes along. I&#039;m not impressed.

I do find the reverse of your above comment interesting: The McCain campaign has gone on and on about &quot;experience&quot; and yet the person they choose to run the government in case McCain dies (not impossible for a 72 year old with some health issues) is inexperienced. So perhaps the whole &quot;experience&quot; thing is really a non-issue?

Either way, both sides SUCK. You can twist the words to make either side look bad but the fact is they both are only saying and doing whatever it takes to get elected. You don&#039;t really think McCain chose Palin for any reason other than being a token woman do you? Do you think it&#039;s a surprise that Obama picked an old, white male as his running mate?

I am so sick of politics. I swear it&#039;s time to become a Libertarian. Sigh.</description>
