She's war-hungry. 

no more negotiations with Russia, she's sending war ships instead.

I hope I get to celebrate the big 4-0 before she starts WWIII.  After all, having talks with enemies, while reagan-like, just wont cut it with 2015 primary voters.

She's running for VP.  She's palin with high IQ.  An attack dog willing to say "palling around with terrorists" for a dignified president on the ticket.

she'll probably get the VP nomination.  Cruz' SuperPAC gave her $500,000 when she was about to pull out, when she was statistically invisible, to keep her afloat.  He would pick her.  Carson was kissing her ass all night too.

Two flaws with her.
1) She'll send warships, not negotiate with russia.  that's asinine.
2) every other word she says is about being a woman - just be an america, just fix this.  palin made that mistake, talking about the glass ceiling 24/7... and more women voted against her.  We get it, you will be the first, that's great - but these are essential questions - tell us how you'll fix USA.  Aside from starting WWIII in lieu of discussion.

It seems as though women are held to a much lower standard. Fiorina oversaw the beginning of the decline of HP and the company has yet to turn around. Is anyone buying an HP product anytime, soon? She won't do anything as President. Perhaps, that's a good thing.

Marissa Meyer is another. She's been a disaster at Yahoo, but gets a pass because she's somewhat photogenic.

Things will have to get pretty effed up before another Republican wins the White House.

That's what happened in NYC under David Dinkins. You couldn't walk down the street without being met by an aggressive panhandler. Those conditions opened the door for Giuliani.

Hypocrisy? Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina has been a hawk on Iran – criticizing Obama for his willingness to relax economic sanctions; claiming the sanctions are “unraveling fast” which she terms a “dangerous development,” warning that Europe is rushing to open the Iranian economy, and accusing Iran of cheating on the sanctions.

Yet when she was CEO of Hewlett-Packard (according to today's Bloomberg News), the company circumvented strict export sanctions on Iran (imposed by Bill Clinton in 1995) by selling hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of products to Iran through a European subsidiary and a Middle Eastern distributor – allowing HP to obtain 41 percent of the Iranian market for printers by 2007.

You can't be blind that Iran will buy arms with sanctions lifted.

About Fiorina: she is actually a good campaigner (this time) and her campaign operation is running well—her Senate bid in California was poorly executed.  But running for office is not the same as being a competent executive.  No matter how anyone tries to spin it, her record at HP was a disaster and since that is her primary qualification for running, her campaign is an illogical one.  She is running on pure ego. Of course, she is not the only one.  ::)

Yes, it's still feeling the pain from her decisions... 30,000 layoffs just yesterday... Some of which is directly attributable to when she was there.

Most constituents know absolutely nothing of what she did or didn't do at HP or how it went to hell, they just know she was a female CEO and she talks tough now.

That's all they care about.

Fiorinia is nasty, venemous, angry, and they like that.  Repubs and dems alike are destroying her today for playing fast n loose with the facts - look it up, she got 3 or 4 big lies in last night, including the abortion details, that never happened as the gruesome story she told, she was called out for it this am and wouldn't even listen.

The good thing about him is, that he cuts to the core and is very forceful.  Its amusing to watch Republicans faces nod and agree with him when he starts speaking and forcing them to look at the facts, which is the only thing he cares about.

He has the ability to actually convince shit brains in the way that they need to be shown, which is through evidence and fact.  He is ahead of Hillary at this point because of Independent support and Republican defectors actually.

Republicans say the same things and worse.  They want to get rid of Planned Parenthood and Abortion for instance, two tools that truly solve the Hebrew problem.  Bernie is a strong supporter of both so by that alone, trumps any bullshit proposal for dealing with Hebrews that Republicans have (they don't have any).  Instead, Republicans want to restrict, make illegal and/or limit the only tools that are proven to limit the spread of the Hebrew and its culture.

Hope this helps.

I don't care about the issue, I think it's BS that the thing isn't split into abortion and non-abortion, just maddening.  BUT if I wanted to close down the whole dang operation, I'd just say it, i woudln't limp around with "technically, I just want to empty their bank account, not actually close their busienss" stuff.

I have seen no evidence of the GOP trying to "eliminate" Planned Parenthood.  How would that work exactly?  A bill requiring a private business to shut down? 

I'd say look at the governors who have ended state funding of Planned Parenthood, like Fat Man in NJ.  What steps has he taken to "eliminate planned parenthood completely"?

I have seen no evidence of the GOP trying to "eliminate" Planned Parenthood.  How would that work exactly?  A bill requiring a private business to shut down? 

I'd say look at the governors who have ended state funding of Planned Parenthood, like Fat Man in NJ.  What steps has he taken to "eliminate planned parenthood completely"? 

That's ridiculous.

They want to eliminate abortion and they believe that Planned Parenthood is the number one thing responsible.

On no level do  they want it to exist at all, but you can convince yourself of a lot of dumb things, so I'm not surprised.

What specific steps have Republicans in Congress taken to completely shut down Planned Parenthood, as opposed to trying eliminate the use of my tax dollars to support them?

Why haven't the governors who eliminated state funding taken any steps to eliminate this private business entirely?

Because they all dream of being President and if they already know they have to contend with it on a national level just defunding, if they completely removed it they would be crushing their dreams and aspirations.

Self interests is what they are worried about.

You must define conspiracy different than most people.

They would like to remove them... They can't. They would find some way to pass a law that effectively shuts the doors if they thought they could get away with it.

You would love to close their doors yourself wouldn't you?

Everything thing you're saying is a conspiracy.  No facts.  Pure conjecture.  You have not given me one fact showing attempts by the federal or state government to shut down a private business. 

I would love to see them not get a single dollar of my hard earned tax dollars.  And a lot of what they have done for years is just criminal.  But this isn't about me.  It's about the non-existent attempt by Republicans to shut down Planned Parenthood.

It's conjecture knowing the people involved. That's not conspiracy, that's simple logic.

Similarly to your people who get sued for not making cakes, they went out of business... stop funding and boom, that's what happens.

It's simple cause and effect.

You would rather pay tax dollars to support a child for 18 years by the state, then to pay a one time abortion. Not very fiscally responsible of you.

Back to Carly.... she certainly proved she can lie like the rest of the GOP boys.

Faux outrage and blatant lying.... the base will eat that combination up.



http://www.rawstory.com/2015/09/carly-fiorina-opponents-must-prove-to-me-they-watched-my-non-existent-fetus-videos/

Republican presidential candidate Carly Fiorina insisted on Sunday that anyone who wanted to debate her about Planned Parenthood funding would have to “prove” that they watched videos of a fetus that fact checkers say don’t exist.

During last week’s Republican presidential debate, Fiorina had claimed that she saw undercover videos from a Planned Parenthood that showed “a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain.”

However, fact checkers like FactCheck.org and The Washington Post have said that there was no such scene included in the videos that were recently released by an anti-abortion group.

“Do you acknowledge what every fact checker has found?” Fox News host Chris Wallace asked the candidate on Sunday. “As horrific as the scene is, it was only described on the video by someone who claimed to have seen it. There is no actual footage of the incident you just mentioned.”

“No, I don’t accept that at all,” Fiorina shot back. “I’ve seen the footage. And I find it amazing, actually, that all these supposed fact checkers in the mainstream media claim this doesn’t exist, they’re trying to attack the authenticity of the videotape, I haven’t found anyone in the mainstream media who has ever watched these things.”


“I mean, they will claim that somebody watched it for them,” she continued. “I will continue to dare anyone who wants to continue to defund Planned Parenthood, watch the videotapes.”

“And anyone who wants to challenge me first is going to have to prove to me that they watched it.”

Watch the video below from Fox News’ Fox News Sunday, broadcast Sept. 20, 2015.

Logic is me looking at what is actually happening:  bills in Congress to eliminate federal welfare, actually ending of tax subsidies at the state level, and nothing showing attempts to completely shut them down.  

Conspiracy theory is you claiming Republicans want to eliminate a business, while being unable to point to any concrete attempts by them to do so.  

The wedding cake example is a very poor example.  Apples and oranges.  

You might have a point if PP's livelihood was dependent on federal tax dollars.  

I don't approve of facilitating the killing of unborn children because they might end up on welfare.  Very troubling Margaret Sanger-approved social engineering.

Post by: Dos Equis on September 21, 2015, 03:49:56 PM

It's called eugenics.  Straight from Planned Parenthood's founder:

Eugenics

An advertisement for a book entitled "Woman and the New Race". At the top is a photo of a woman, seated affectionately with her two sons.

Sanger's 1920 book endorsed negative eugenics.

Originally Sanger based the advocacy of birth control on feminist ideals. After World War I, Sanger increasingly appealed to the societal need to limit births by those least able to afford children. The affluent and educated already limited their child-bearing while the poor and ignorant lacked access to contraception and information about birth-control.[105] Here she found an area of overlap with eugenicists.[105] She believed that they both sought to "assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit." They differed in that "eugenists imply or insist that a woman's first duty is to the state; we contend that her duty to herself is her duty to the state."[106] Sanger was a proponent of negative eugenics, which aims to improve human hereditary traits through social intervention by reducing the reproduction of those who were considered unfit.[107]

In "The Morality of Birth Control," a 1921 speech, she divided society into three groups: the "educated and informed" class that regulated the size of their families, the "intelligent and responsible" who desired to control their families however did not have the means or the knowledge and the "irresponsible and reckless people" whose religious scruples "prevent their exercising control over their numbers." Sanger concludes "there is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped."[108]

Sanger's eugenic policies included an exclusionary immigration policy, free access to birth control methods and full family planning autonomy for the able-minded, and compulsory segregation or sterilization for the "profoundly retarded".[109][110] In her book The Pivot of Civilization, she advocated coercion to prevent the "undeniably feeble-minded" from procreating.[111]

Although Sanger supported negative eugenics, she asserted that eugenics alone was not sufficient, and that birth control was essential to achieve her goals.[112][113][114]

In contrast with eugenicist William Robinson, who advocated euthanasia for the unfit,[note 8] Sanger wrote, "we [do not] believe that the community could or should send to the lethal chamber the defective progeny resulting from irresponsible and unintelligent breeding."[115] Similarly, Sanger denounced the aggressive and lethal Nazi eugenics program.[110] In addition, Sanger believed the responsibility for birth control should remain in the hands of able-minded individual parents rather than the state, and that self-determining motherhood was the only unshakable foundation for racial betterment.[112][116]

Sanger also supported restrictive immigration policies. In "A Plan for Peace", a 1932 essay, she proposed a congressional department to address population problems. She also recommended that immigration exclude those "whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race," and that sterilization and segregation be applied to those with incurable, hereditary disabilities.[109][110][117]

Forget people, what about unwanted goop that EVENTUALLY becomes a burden?

Now, it's Babymama choice, so no line drawing. Secondly, disability/elderly? Fuck yeah, depending. Aborting a Down's happens all the time, totally fine with it. I would. And whatever else they can eventually diagnose in utero, I'm all ears. Never viewed all life as sacred, sorry, not by a long shot.

And old folks choosing to hasten death medically (thereby avoiding unnecessary suffering), only the most heartless, immoral monster would object.

Are you 100% opposed or a conditional aborter?

Are you a conception = life fundie?

Sure there is a line drawing problem, unless you're following that Hitler/Sanger-like line of thinking of wanting to create some kind of master race.  So you would kill a kid who might be on welfare and would have a disability.  What about a kid who is the wrong gender? What about a kid with low IQ?    

Regarding the elderly, I'm not talking about assisted suicide.  I'm talking about killing old people who are no longer productive members of society.  

I believe life begins at conception.  Not sure exactly what you mean by "fundie."  I guess that would be like me asking if you are a Hitler disciple?   :)

Elderly should be a personal choice, never suggested otherwise. Again, not endorsing government interference. I edited "fundie" because it was presumptuous. If you're a conception guy, though, guess it's no longer a presumption.

No one is making anyone get it done... We are giving them an option that just so happens to also be fiscally responsible at the same time.

Conservatives want to save the life of a child, but don't want to provide for the child's life.

They hate Welfare, but want to take away a persons option for not being on it in the first place.

Completely contrary.

As a lifelong (choice) conservative, I always brushed this off. But it's absolutely true; we (meaning they) universally despise welfare but pretend that "special, innocent baby" (a future recipient) is somehow sacred. Hypocritical crock.

"Life" is ambiguous, as a single cell is life. But a distinct (separate) human being? Difficult question, much to consider. Certainly well after conception and certainly before third trimester.

And certainly uncertain where in between.

Biden: Life Begins At Conception [VIDEO]
Steve Guest
Media Reporter
09/22/2015

Vice President Joe Biden believes life begins “at the moment of conception.”

“I’m prepared to accept that at the moment of conception there’s human life and being” Biden said, during an interview with Father Matt Malone, S.J. of “America Media.”

Biden, however, said that he would not “impose” that view on “non-­God­-fearing people that have a different view.”

At one point, Biden also acknowledged that “abortion is always wrong,” but again, he doesn’t want to “impose doctrine” on other people.

Asked if there was a place in the Democratic party for individuals who are pro-life, Biden replied, “Absolutely. Absolutely, positively. And that’s been my position for as long as I’ve been engaged.”

Read a transcript of Biden’s answer:

Father Matt Malone, S.J.:​ And yet there have been times, when talking about specific public policies, where you’ve had to take positions that were at odds with the bishops of this country on contentious questions like abortion. Has that been hard for you?
 
Joe Biden: ​It has been. It has been hard, in one sense, because I’m prepared to accept de fide doctrine on a whole range of issues as a Catholic, even though, as you know, Aquinas argued about, in Summa Theologica, about human life and being, when it occurs.
 
I’m prepared to accept as a matter of faith, my wife and I, my family, the issue of abortion, but what I’m not prepared to do is to impose a rigid view, a precise view, rigid sounds pejorative, a precise view that is born out of my faith, on other people who are equally God-­fearing, equally as committed to life, equally as committed to the sanctity of life.
 
I’m prepared to accept that at the moment of conception there’s human life and being, but I’m not prepared to say that to other God-­fearing, non­-God-­fearing people that have a different view.
 
Even — I don’t want to start a theological discussion, I’ll get in trouble, it’s above my pay grade, although it’s my avocation, but there’s, you know, there’s even been disagreement in our Church, not that — abortion is always wrong, but there’s been debate, and so, there’s, for me, a point where the Church makes a judgment, as we Catholics call, de fide doctrine, said, this is what our doctrine is.
 
All the principles of my faith, I make no excuse for attempting to live up to — I don’t all the time. But I’m not prepared to impose doctrine that I’m prepared to accept on the rest of — and I actually had that discussion with Pope Benedict.
 
It was — I had a wonderful meeting with him several months before he stepped down. It was like going back to theology class. And by the way, he wasn’t judgmental. He was open. I came away enlivened from the discussion.
 
Malone: ​Is there a place in the Democratic Party for people who are pro-­life?
 
Biden:​ Absolutely. Absolutely, positively. And that’s been my position for as long as I’ve been engaged.

How would you suggest she'd have done so? You realize how horrific all those options are for loved ones, not to mention the poor lady herself.

I don't know?  Pills?  I don't think any of the options, including those involving a doctor, are good options.

I don't believe a single cell is "human" life.  

It is a difficult question.  Have you ever looked at the development of a baby in the womb?

I understand. But it was how you presented the question, which actually highlights the issue's vagueness.

I have looked into it, and it's absolutely complicated. Not even pretending to have solid ground beneath me. Nor am I comfortable, or even clear, on how terms are sometimes defined. But if brain death legally ends life; conception, it should follow, can't legally begin life (as defined medically).

We don't have a brain yet, just a potential human.

When does brain activity begin with an unborn baby?

Only pills that'll kill you for certain are those accessed exclusively by 'End of Life' practitioners. Even the stuff vets use is impossible to get. Desperate folks used to visit Mexico and whatnot for this, but that avenue closed, too.

Too much morphine usually induces vomit, and fatal anything ODs are mostly accidental. Can't guarantee death if you're trying, but you will flirt with irreversible brain damage.

As far as "good options" - agreed, there are only "better" options. I know if cancer promised to kill me, I'd most certainly find the doctor option preferable.

No idea. Imagine it'd be after the brain forms, though.

If Carly wants to end PP, then she should become CEO of it. 

hahahah!

Cannot argue with you.  Although I will say that anyone who wants to end their own life can do it.  It may not be pretty, but it can be done.

Of course. And much easier here than disarmed elsewhere.

Sorry to hear that.  Very difficult, emotional, and painful process.  Cancer sucks.  What was stopping her from taking her own life? 

I don't think anyone should be forced to suffer.

Thank you.

Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Scott walker would be a better president than any of the democratic politicians that can possibly be nominated. If you watched any of the gop debates you'd see that their knowledge far surpasses that of a Hilary clinton
