Putting food on the table and keeping electricity is. And many americans are not able to do that anymore. Obama's Keynesian boot in the ass and the auto bailout may have prevented disaster but his continuing economic policies have pretty much been a failure to stimiulate new jobs and growth.

No birth control? What are you talking about, anybody can go buy birth control over the counter all around this country including the Catholics.

No right to choose? again, what are you talking about? Every attempt to restrict the choice of an abortion pretty much gets drop-kicked from the top rope once it gets to the federal appeals level. The protection of a woman's right to choose isn't going to be overturned any time soon if ever.

No Planned Parenthood? Um, let me explain. Planned Parenthood is a favorite scapegoat of the anti-abortion movement and always has been. They have been picketed forever, protested against, held hostage in budget debates and on and on since before I was born. Planned Parenthood is going nowhere.

America needs jobs NOW. We need somebody who has actually created a business and understands the principles of business to take our little spurts and sputters and push our nation into a full blown recovery. Everytime it does (recover and boom that is) the culture wars take a back seat because everybody is simply too damned busy working to worry about things like a new Planned Parenthood clinic opening or not opening because of picketing or whether some lady can go get an IUD if she wants one or pills. Hell, if she's working she can just go buy them with cash regardless of whether her medical plan refuses to pay for them, imagine that!

The culture wars are overblown. They heat up during economic tough times because there isn't work too keep idle hands busy, so people have nothign better to do than daydream about the good ol' days when societ "was better".
