@AverageJoe:

There is a war on women? I didn't see that in the paper when did congress vote on this war?

@meanjarhead:

Who said I was bitter and when did I say that I don't mind paying taxes? What I said was that I didn't pay that much in taxes. I do know I pay a higher percentage thann Romney, though.

@leslie110:

You won't earn in your lifetime what Romney pays in a year.

@meanjarhead:

Congress voted on it when they wouldn't pass the fair pay act, watered down the violence against women act, tried to make it so some employers don't have to provide women with preventative care, and voted to defund womens healthcare.

@leslie110:

And that is what counts as a war now a days i got some news for you sister.

When Congress voted to get rid of the Affordable Care Act that requires insurance companies to charge women the same as men and requires insurance companies to include contraception as a covered prescription.

When Congress voted to to stop medicaid payments to Planned Parenthood, the primary place where uninsured women go to get free or low cost health care.

When Congress voted to define rape...

When Congress failed to vote to renew the Violence against Women act which provides funding for battered women's shelters and community violence prevention programs.

The Republican controlled legislatures at the state level have set a record for the number of laws passed restricting women's rights. Including the rights to equal pay for equal work, forcing women to get unnecessary medical procedures, the list is long...

This is what Republicans are doing to people:

@joepyeweed:

I still see no acts of war. If you think you got it so bad I think the middle east will give you what you are looking for or how about any country in Africa minus Monico. China there is a country on the for front of human rights. Mexico if you don't want to be to far from the family. Try twisting that joe.

@meanjarhead:

I don't think we have it bad. In fact we have it great. I live in the greatest country in the world to be a women. HOWEVER, if the republican's have their way, women's choices and women's freedoms, women's opportunities will be less than what they are today. I do not want to go backwards and I do not want to sacrifice any freedoms that I already have. I want the next generation of women to have as many, if not more opportunities than I had, not less.

If you have daughters, you may want to think about them when you vote.

@joepyeweed:

I have daughters and i do think about them when i vote. I think about all kids when i vote as i look around and see the youth of this area. i would be ashamed if i voted dummycrat. Because i teach my kids a work ethic. that is something i do not see in this town, I teach my kids respect for their fellow man which i do not see in this town. I hate the fact that we gave a school district a child that was ahead of the other kids and she was dumbed down in a building with Obama pictures all over it. I do not have sympathy for weak people if you want the government to control your life you are weak. And this if Republicans have their way BS that you are talking about is a load of bull. I had dinner last night with some woman who are Republican and democrat I didn't hear any of them talking about a war on women. If you wish to keep calling this a war you are really really in need of knowing what a war is I dont see anyone loosing a leg in your imaginary war. but go find a kid who has lost a leg in battle and ask him if there is a war against you and the league of VJJ's.

@meanjarhead:

I didn't say I paid more I said I paid a higher percentage.

@leslie110:

You cant tell me that if you made that much money you wouldn't hide it all over the place. I would.

@meanjarhead:

You do realize that this town and this district is primarily and overwhelmingly republican. IF those things that you listed (lack of work ethic, lack of respect, weak people) are the result of political policies, then you better be looking at the party who has control of the politics in this area.

@joepyeweed:

Hate to break it to ya but if my party had control of the schools there wouldn't be Obama pictures everywhere like there is now. In third grade i went to the same school that Reagan did for one year they just got a plague 10 years ago. Glen Oak has more pictures of Obama than Moscow had pictures of Lennon.
