The G-O-P and The P-I-L-L.

  ( grumble, grumble, grumble )

Oh to be monkey drunk on free green shots at Good Friends on Bourbon Street celebrating the Saints victory tonight, but no, here I sit, doing the job of the main stream media.

You did not just watch the two hours of minor hell that was the latest GOP DEBATE. , you were doing something fun. I mean, even if you are a dyed in the wool, hard core Republican that could not have been pleasurable or even interesting. I believe in round two of the questions the topics turned to social issues... abortion, gay rights and dear God in heaven CONTRACEPTION. ( long time readers of the k+b knew this was coming ) Rick " Frothy Mix " Santorum is ALL OVER THE PLACE saying how horrible it is for a woman to use contraception. Yes, in a few interviews he says that he would not vote to ban it, but those are old interviews. Frothy is the water boy for the Vatican these days, and those non sexual folks want MORE CATHOLIC BABIES. From Salon.com : "

Here is an actual Rick Santorum quote: "One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country." And also, "Many of the Christian faith have said, well, that's okay, contraception is okay. It's not okay. It's a license to do things in a sexual realm that is counter to how things are supposed to be." These comments were not dug up from some bygone moment of ideological purity, before dreams of a presidential campaign. He said them in October.


Stick with me here. The guy who may have won Iowa or lost by EIGHT VOTES is all over the internet /news media etc, lamenting the horrors of  BIRTH CONTROL and that states should have the right to ban it! So,  the moderator, George Stephanopolous asks Mitt Romney about it. PERFECTLY LOGICAL AND EXPECTED.

From the LA TIMES : " It was an exchange reminiscent of Abbott and Costello’s famous Who’s on First routine. George Stephanopoulos repeatedly asked Mitt Romney about whether he thinks that states have the right to ban contraception, and Romney repeatedly replied that he had no idea why Stephanopoulos would ask such a question. In fact, Stephanopoulos was prodding Romney about whether he believes there is a constitutional right to privacy as the U.S. Supreme Court has found in two landmark cases, 1973’s Roe vs. Wade, and 1965’s Griswold vs. Connecticut , which found that states do not have the right to ban contraception. In that case, the court cited a right to “marital privacy.”
In recent days, Rick Santorum has raised Griswold on the campaign trail in New Hampshire. He believes Griswold and Roe were incorrectly decided by the Supreme Court because, in his view, the Constitution does not contain a privacy right. But when Stephanopoulos asked Romney about this issue, Romney seemed to have absolutely no idea what he was talking about. “George, this is an unusual topic that you’re raising,” Romney said. “States have the right to ban contraception? I can’t imagine that states would want to ban contraception. If I were a governor or a legislator in a state, I would totally oppose any effort to ban contraception. So you’re asking -- given the fact that there’s no state that wants to do so -- you are asking could it constitutionally be done? We could we could ask our constitutionalist here,” said Romney, gesturing to Ron Paul. The audience erupted in laughter and applause. 

Slow down there haircut. On October 20th of last year you , Governor Romney went on the Mike Huckabee Hee Haw Hour on Fox News and were asked about the coming Novermber 8th PERSONHOOD amendment vote in Mississippi. A huge big government law that would ban almost all hormonal birth control that state. Basicly banning CONTRACEPTION." Huckabee asked Romney, "Would you have supported the constitutional amendment that would have established the definition of life at conception?" Romney answered, "Absolutely."
Mississippi folks, deep in the heart of Dixie! Hell yes, Mitt Romney was for this, because how can this fail in Mississippi, like if failed in liberal Colorado. The amendment went down HARD in Mississippi with close to 60% of voters saying stay the hell out of  my bedroom. In the question tonight, Romney was a deer in pretend headlights when it came to the Griswold case.....

These guys really need to learn that once they say something on tv that it does not go away.Then we get this from HUFFPO : "

Romney Adviser: Stephanopoulos Has 'Strange Obsession' With Contraception


MANCHESTER, N.H. -- Mitt Romney pushed back against debate moderator George Stephanopoulos over repeated questions about whether he believes states have a right to ban contraception, calling it "an unusual topic" to raise.
In the spin room after the candidates filed out, Romney senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom told reporters that Stephanopoulos had a "strange obsession with the subject of contraception." "No candidate on stage has proposed cracking down on contraception," Fehrnstrom continued. "No state is looking at it. The only person for whom it's an issue is George Stephanopoulos. You should ask him about it."
No slimebag : Mitt and Frothy have proposed it and Mississippi and Colorado have voted on it. We read you dumb fuck.

Socially liberal New Hampshire one answer, Fox News another.....
