Why would I not think that? Joel Send a noteboard - 05/02/2012 05:46:15 AM
As to the rest, my assumption is based on "Republican=hates Planned Parenthood, because of abortion." Not always the case, but a pretty good general rule; I am sure your aunt would agree (RINOs excepted, of course. ;))

I called it... I said you'd think exactly that and comment on it (bit narrowminded, don't you think? I'll give you a second.) But wwwwhhhhyyyy on earth do you link him to the huff? Do you two get off on linking huff and fox back and forth? :P

I mean, OK, sure there are pro choice Republicans, and I did concede that in the quoted comment, but not many who have been part of every Republican White House in the last 35 years. VERY few who hire VPs of public policy after they promised the state of GA to end funding for Planned Parenthoods breast cancer screenings once elected (sound at all familiar...? ;)) There are devoutly religious Democrats, too, but if

1) A Democrat was running the Boy Scouts,
2) Another Democrat ran for governor promising to ban bibles from schools,
3) The second Democrat lost the election and took an executive position with the Boy Scouts six month later and
4) Eight months after THAT the Boy Scouts banned bibles from all meetings,

what would you figure probably happened? An amazing string of coincidences within a little over a year?

I linked Huff Post because the first place I saw the mention of Handel was a Seattle blog post and I wanted something a little more reliable.

You're taking an issue of objective facts and treating it like a day of playground gossip. Dreaded Anomaly - 09/02/2012 03:47:06 AM 1236 Views
No, your source, in which there is very little that is objective, did that for me. Joel - 11/02/2012 02:59:45 AM 1280 Views
I see you have continued to provide no factual arguments. Dreaded Anomaly - 14/02/2012 04:53:28 AM 1557 Views

You continue to miss the point. Dreaded Anomaly - 23/02/2012 10:22:24 PM 1397 Views
No, I got the point: You expect me to accept a heavily biased, partisan and combative "source." Joel - 07/03/2012 01:47:37 AM 1329 Views
The claim of brain waves at 8 weeks is still unsupported by evidence, i.e. a myth. Dreaded Anomaly - 15/03/2012 09:16:14 PM 1388 Views
