"Republicans are the dumbest group of voters"- Donald Trump.

Means to an end 
I have posted this many times but after yesterday's admission by Donald Trump that President Barack Obama is a good and decent man I want to remind some my friends what Donald Trump think of them. "Republicans are the dumbest group of voters in this country, I could lie and they'd still eat it up". The only good news in all this mess Donald Trump is not a Republican the Republican Party was a means to a personal end.

Republican Leadership In Confusion 3/23/2013

Chairman Reince Priebus

“This is not my report,” Republican National Committee chief Reince Priebus told reporters, describing the contents as simply recommendations by a five person panel, even though he was the person who had commissioned the self-audit after the party lost a second consecutive presidential election last fall.


The idea was to develop a road map for a new, more inclusive party that would attract minority voters, support immigration reform and embrace “welcoming and inclusive” attitudes on gay rights.

“There’s not unanimity even among Hispanics as to what the exact immigration overhaul would look like". 

He made the comments immediately after declaring Monday “day one” of the party’s push to change perceptions the audit uncovered that the Republicans are “narrow minded,” unwilling to grant other people social rights or to accept other viewpoints narrow-minded
 people who feared social change.> “out of touch” and “stuffy old men.”

“The perception that we’re the party of the rich unfortunately continues to grow,” Priebus said as he released the report, drawn up by panelists with ties to “big-tent” Republicans who have long favored more inclusive policies opposed by ideological purists.

Who are the Victims? RAPE, Abuse and INCEST

Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum
When a 12 year old  girl is the subject of rape or incest, shouldn't the parent of this child have the right to seek the medical assistance necessary to ensure that the child who may become pregnant does not bear a child whom she would not be ready for?. Under the Person-hood bill supported by Congressman Paul Ryan and Presidential Candidate Rick Santorum and passed by the Republican Congress would make it a crime a crime to seek the medical care necessary to prevent that pregnancy.

While Mitt Romney did not support Person-hood in 2007 his expressed this thought on meet the press, Romney’s “Political Perspective” In 2007: Life Begins At Conception. Romney: “I believe from a … political perspective that life begins at conception…. I don't pretend to know, if you will, from a theological standpoint when life begins.”

As Mitt Romney evolve as a candidate for President Mr Romney's views continue to shift to the far right in order to gain their support,  Romney was asked if he would support of a dangerous proposal, commonly called a “person-hood amendment,” that could potentially ban common forms of contraception like the birth control pill, as well as prevent a pregnant woman experiencing complications that threaten her life or health to obtain safe abortion care. Said Romney, “absolutely.” [Concord Monitor11/9/11]

1 out of every 6 American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in her lifetime (14.8% completed rape; 2.8% attempted rape).

PERSON-HOOD BILL

“A ballot measure going before voters in Mississippi on Nov. 8 would define :- 

The term ‘person’ in the State Constitution to include, "fertilized human eggs" and grant to fertilized eggs the, "legal rights and protections that apply to people". 


  • Besides outlawing all abortions with no exceptions for, rape or incest or when a woman's life is in danger, 
  • banning any contraception that may prevent implantation of a fertilized egg, including birth control pills, the amendment carries many implications,
  •  It could curtail medical research involving embryos, shutter fertility clinics and put doctors in legal jeopardy for providing needed medical care that might endanger a pregnancy. 
  • Pregnant women also could become subject to criminal prosecution. 
  • A fertilized egg might be eligible to inherit money or be counted when drawing voting districts by population. 
  • Numerous laws use the terms '’person’' or ’'people,’' there would be no shortage of unintended consequences… 
This extreme measure would protect zygotes at the expense of all women while creating a legal quagmire -- at least until the courts rule it unconstitutional, as they should.” [New York Times10/28/11]
