This Years Politics are Driving Me Nuts!

I guess you would call me a liberal. I am definitely not right wing in any shape or form. I believe in helping the poor and the needy. I believe in birth control. I believe that women have the right to choose if abortion is right for them or not. I don't believe that life starts at conception I think it has more to do with the heart beat or brain waves or maybe being able to survive outside the womb, but in all honesty I think the choices you make are between you and God so no one has the right to make your medical choices about your body for you but you with the help of your doctor.

I get mad when I hear that planned parenthood is under attack because they give honest information about abortion... contrary to popular republican belief government money does not pay for any abortions. According to all planned parenthood data only around 3 to 5% of all their services even involve abortions. Most of their services involve prenatal care, birth control, std screening and treatment, and cancer screening and prevention, for low income women. With out their services our country could see a sharp increase in everything from unplanned pregnancies to abortion rates and std cases. Our rate of medicaid and food stamp participation would increase exponentially... and all the Republican party can think about is, 'abortion bad'... never the whole picture.

The whole picture is ugly, poor people would just have more babies and raise them on medicaid and food stamps, or die from back alley abortions. The rich will just go to private clinics or overseas trips for abortions the same as they do now. Outlawing abortions will only hurt the poor, because the rich will still do what they have always done, avoid the embarrassment of the unacceptable.

Of course there is also the talk of getting rid of or cutting back the welfare programs, really? So the plan is to cause somewhere in the range of an average of 700,000 more children to be born every year then make sure there is no way for them to eat, have medical care or be educated... so what we should put them in little military training facilities like in the movie Universal Soldier...well the Republicans do need something to spend all that military money on...

The Republicans want tax cuts for the rich that would be paid for by tax increases on the poor... WTF is that about? What the Republicans are not willing to face is the simple truth of the mater and are hiding behind with all there I hate women and racist tea party logic... the corporations are killing America!

There is one simple economic truth we all learn in high school economics: For an economy to survive and grow the money made in the economy must be reinvested into the economy, or it will not prosper. The corporations are not reinvesting in the American economy they are investing in other economies, like China, and India and then expecting America to purchase the products... America is not producing anything and is now becoming unable to purchase and now the corporations are acting like they have done nothing wrong by taking all the money out of the economy and not putting anything back into it.

The Republicans don't want to face the fact that they are going to have to either convince the corporations to voluntarily reinvest in America or force them to do it with legislation... other wise we are sadly headed to some sort of nasty revolution...not that I advocate that...but that is just what historically happens in this sort of situation...

So that is some of my thoughts on a little of this election cycle... believe me I have soo many more...
