Wisconsin Set To Defund Planned Parenthood, Slash Family Planning

Our Planned Parenthood clinic does NOT provide abortions.

==========­==========­==========­==

Stop being defensive about abortion.  

It's a legal procedure and even though taxpayer money does NOT go for abortions, an organizati­on that performs them are doing a mitzvah for women who find themselves in the position of having an unwanted pregnancy.

Anybody, especially in this economy, that doesn't understand or support a woman's right to choose is a sadist who should be shown the door.

Obama Libya War Powers Debate: Obama's Lawyers Are Worse Than Bush's, Glenn Greenwald Says

"Suffering­" isn't the trigger; the "introduct­ion of US Armed Forces" is.

We had air strikes at the beginning, it was scaled back, the UN took over formal control, and WE have been mainly doing unmanned drone strikes...­..

....is THIS what you consider Armed Forces? If you read the War Powers act, I can see precisely where he is getting his argument from, and he certainly has more legal expertise than either of us........

==========­==========­==========­==

For some reason the above comments (mine on top, yours beneath) got scrubbed.  

Of course "air strikes" are "armed forces". 

Perhaps I should have said "any military action", but would you then try to parse it that if it was the CIA running the operation then it doesn't apply because CIA isn't a part of the US military?

If air strikes alone aren't an act of war, then what the heII was Pearl Harbor?

Progressives 'Break Up' With Obama

You have one of four choices:
#1 - Vote for Obama and should he win, more of the same.
#2 - Vote for the Republican and should he win, more of the same.
#3 - Not vote and more of the same.
#4 - Vote for an Independen­t, and if enough voters do it too, there's the CHANGE you thought you were voting for in 2006 and 2008 when you voted Democratic­.  If not enough also do it, you're still going to get more of the same AND you've also sent an undeniable message to both parties that they can't take your vote for granted.  Come the following election (midterms of 2014), more voters catch on, vote for real CHANGE, and eventually it's enough to turn the tide.

In the 2010 elections, it was the Blue Dogs who were turned out of office in big numbers.  Liberals only lost 3 seats.

Carl Levin: Obama Needs To Withdraw At Least 15,000 Troops From Afghanistan

Heard around the web:

If you promise your lady a pullout, but at the appointed time withdraw by only a third, she will not consider that you have kept your promise. Nor will she be open to a discussion of the semantics. If Obama tried this chit in Sweden he'd be charged with a crime. But since it's Afghanista­n the victim will probably get blamed.
