I watched the Candidate Forum that Sen. Gimse was part of and where he was outspoken regarding his desire to keep politics clean. Both he and Rep. Vogel said that they can do nothing with outside parties and what they say, but that they personally will not be disrespectful. I wonder when or even if he will come out and denounce the actions of his Assistant Mr. Koss with regards to the vulgar twitter comments directed at Rep. Kriesel.

I admire him … he must be like me, not Republican enough since he was called a RINO … shame on all of you! If you can’t respect someone in our military who is willing to sacrifice their life and limbs well then … just SHAME on you. He did fight for our right to have free speech … he should get that right just like you and I … hit dislike if you don’t like the military, that is fine with me!

See Carl that is my problem with the party other then the Democrats … you have to take a test to see if you are ‘R’ enough … if you don’t pass, they don’t want you … they will lambaste you, make fun of you, and kick you to the curb. (Just look at what they are doing to Christie right now and I am no fan of his.) This is exactly why I will never be affiliated with them again … I flunk the test. I can no longer agree with this party platform that was high-jacked in 1998. As a woman I will not be pushed back to the 1950s … heck back to the 1800s! What is next … and I am serious here … do the Teaparticans want to repeal a woman’s right to vote??? I am thrilled that I am not a RINO … I can’t believe that people associated with that party would want anything to do with them when they are treated with so much hostility! They went after McCain the last time he was up because he just isn’t “R” enough either … and the biggest kicker of them all … Mr. Romney is not “R” enough either! I realize that Mr. Romney is beholding to the radical right for getting the nomination … but dung will hit the rotary oscillator when moderate Mitt shows up … and if he is elected I am praying that moderate Mitt shows up.

Carl … did I ever say I voted for Pres. Clinton .. I think I’ve mentioned numerous times I DID NOT! I’ll say this nice and loud so everyone will hear … my problem with the “R” party is that it has been taken over by right wing Christian fundamentalists … I am WAY MORE AFRAID of the right wing being in power than I will ever be of the left wing being in power … I am a Christian … but I sure as heck am not going to start the Crusades again! THAT IS MY PROBLEM WITH THE “R” PARTY! It has NOTHING to do with economics, lower taxes, etc. anymore! IT IS ONLY ABOUT SOCIAL ISSUES … if they have their way the UN will not provide birth control pills or any type of birth control to any country (heck they managed to do this during Pres. Bush’s tenure!)… heck they will be illegal in the U.S. because by God we are only suppose to procreate … nothing else … they claim to be ‘prolife’, yet let’s stick that needle in their arm quickly, because we certainly know that NO person has been put to death and then PROVEN innocent!, they claim if you are pro-choice you are pro-abortion, that is just a big ole crock of lies! no one likes abortion but I no sooner want you or anyone else telling ME what I can do with my body as I’m sure you don’t want me telling YOU what you can do with your body (should I tell you to lose weight, no you can’t have that tattoo or piercing, no you can’t color your hair, etc.) now back to birth control … how many abortions are prevented because woman take birth control … yet the ‘R’ party wants to defund Planned Parenthood, they say ‘because they do abortions’ what a crock, it’s because they supply BIRTH CONTROL!!!!!!! I will not sit back anymore and put up with the self-righteous BS that is thrown at us anymore!

I never met anyone who was not pro-life, but I know many who are pro-choice. A women has the right to decide what she wants to do with her body. The problem with the pro-life Republicans is you can’t win, they don’t want to fund Planned Parenthood which prevents abortions, and when a women has a child and no support system Republicans again whine about paying for the support even going as far as to say people need to stand on their own two feet. Republicans don’t want to fund Birth control, so wouldn’t this prevent unwanted pregnancy? One idiot Republican had the nerve to say women who become pregnant after being raped should feel blessed. I wonder how that same idiot would feel if it was his wife or daughter? He would be the first one to have his wife or daughter get an abortion. The Republican have not learned anything from 2008 which is why they lost again in 2012. Obama won the electorial votes and the popular vote and he added FL to his victory totals. Now former presidential candidate Santorum stated Republicans lost because of gays! OMG, this guy is another blooming idiot, and another reason the GOP can’t win they haven’t learned to adapt!
