Check this out the Legitimate Rape by the Renegade Raging Grannies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Anc_gP2_QeI#!

They surely get what the GOP is trying to do.

Notice how Republicans always say if someone only had a gun less people would have been shot because they could have taken out the shooter??????

I always said how does a gunfight in a crowded area work out? Well trained NYPD had fire arms & when they shot at the gunman in a crowded public area this was the result:

NYPD Gunfire In Empire State Building Shooting Wounded All Nine Bystanders, Says Ray Kelly

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/25/empire-state-building-shooting-nypd-bullets-shot-all-nine_n_1830007.html

My point is that innocent people are in danger by friendly fire..........so I feel less safe knowing people are walking around with concealed weapons.............my chances of being shot goes up significantly.........that is a fact...........by the way the NYPD do a great job & have extensive training.........yet it is a fact that gunfire in a populated area has consequences.............that is a fact.

Paul Ryan claims to be a Catholic..........but he seems to have forgotten something: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor...............doesn't that basically mean thou shall not lie??????????...............then why does lying come so natural for Paul Ryan?????

Stay Focused on Ryan/Romney's LIE Campaign 2012................Lie-Baby-Lie 2012..................the media needs to keep pointing out a lie when it is a flat out strategic lie.....and correct it with the truth............we just need to tell the truth ten times for every one Ryan/Romney Lie.................and call them out for what they are.....LIARS!!!!........who can trust a liar????????

The only thing Akin is guilty of is regurgitating the Radical Republican platform & policies in-front of the wrong audience & it got national attention.............Paul Ryan shares the same views & goals that Akin regurgitated............don't pay attention to what Ryan & the GOP say now...........pay attention to their past statements, platform stance, bills they sponsored & voted for, policies they support/ed, what they lobbied for & etc........you can't trust Paul Ryan..........he is living in a fictional Ayn Rand Novel based world, while the rest of us are living in the United States of America facing real issues & the real economy.

Linda S. , don't put it past them to come across with " you can count on us to weather the storm" or some similar cheap drama. With luck, the power will go out just before Flip Romney speaks.

.....BREAKING NEWS.......



Despite the fact that Tampa Fla is now in the direct path of Hurricane Isaac due to make landfall around next Monday, Governor Rick Scott is telling people to continue to travel to the state and telling people already there to stay put.

Tampa is in the mandatory evacuation zone.

What kind of governor/leader is this irresponsible??? Putting politics above people's lives.

This makes it two times in a row the GOP has chosen to have their national convention in a southern state at the height of hurricane season.

Lest anyone out there think the Governor is on the right side of this, take it from someone who has lived in hurricane alley all their natural life. Do not mess with mother nature, she will win every time. But then again, the GOP never had any respect for women.

Obviously they are all fooling somebody, and it seems to be working, because the latest polls put the President and Romney in a virtual tie.

Akin represents a large number of conservatives and the GOP is using Akin as a sacrificial lamb. Who do these conservatives without consciences think they are fooling? Only the uniformed viewers of Fox News are being fooled.
