Romney/Ryan Camp Ready to Let Bush Era Neocons Lead Us Back to War
And Iran is right on the other side of Iraq from Syria. Remember how we went into Afghanistan and then 8 months later started marching towards war in Iraq?
And, yes, Obama did lead the us to "war" in Libya. A very Clintonian war. One in which our side won and we lost no servicemen or women. That kind of war is only possible if our servicemen can mostly stay in planes.
The portion of Rachel's video that references the phenomena of the Romney/Ryan campaign turning over their foreign policy to Bush era NeoCons is clipped here from a longer video.
Isn't it really weird that a nation like Israel which seems to need a lot more land than it has is our best friend and we keep getting into wars in their part of the world that might one day actually open up more land for them (if the neocons didn't keep messing up the job). But here are the neocons pushing for more war in the middle east, and then maybe Israel can get on with its Manifest Destiny.
And Romney, I'm sure will let them do it so he can hide his tax cuts to himself behind all the war news.
Iran will likely be such a deadly war that the Universal Draft set up by the Selective Service is likely to be triggered. The UD is a plan to force draft registration on all young people from 18-34 male and female and few if any deferments, none for post high school education.

Mitt Romney Won Debate by Lying
It's apparently what he does best. That fits with what the people who's jobs he shipped to China tell us. Romney will say anything to get his way. No wonder he's Karl Roves new champion.

You Can't Give Million Dollar Donations and Use a Phony Name? Who Knew? #p21

NPR has a report on how two top men of Nu Skin (an Amway type company) gave a million dollars each to Romney's SuperPAC by using the name of a fake business and something you might find on WOW. That is apparently illegal and sad. (Audio version of report is also available from page at link above.)
Instead of getting the privacy they craved and not informing their customers what they apparently do with the money they get from selling a product, they managed to get a local reporter and NPR interested it the donations and now a lot more people know.
BTW, Eric Prince's sister is married to Dick DeVos "of the Amway fortune" as described by a Huffington Post report (and others to which I have not linked) so I guess like with pizza: cheap ingredients being used to make something sold for enough to offer seven figured donations = success for Republicans. And then they would like government to ignore them please while they buy up the nation.

Santorum, Boehner, & Romney Lie! 28 States Already Enforce Insurance Coverage of BirthControl, and 98% of Catholic Women Use Contraceptives
Hey, Mr. Santorum: Our Constitution Promises Freedom of Religion for Humans
Not freedom for Religious leaders to control people.Otherwise, we might as well invite the Taliban in.

Yes, 28 states already force religious businesses to cover birth control requests by their female employees, and the courts have already rejected cases against the practice. Where were Rick Santorum, John Boehner, and Mitt Romney while that situation was developing? Did they lift their little fingers to protest those supposed infringements on "religious freedoms". No? Well, there is a good reason for that. Religions don't have freedoms, people do, and Catholic women like contraceptives which they use quietly in the secret of their own homes.
Let me make this clear: requiring religious institutions to cover birth control without extra cost is already the law of the land, not a new program. It's not being installed by Obama, just extended to the rest of the nation so that all may have this freedom. That's extending democracy to all.
And since an overwhelming majority of American Catholic women use birth control during their reproductive years it turns out that Obama's plan is not about forcing anything on them. See article written by a protestant church leader published in April 2011 98 % of American Catholic Women Use Birth Control ‘Banned’ By Their Church.
So Catholic women want access to contraceptive medicine, and they should have the right to get it on the same terms as women of other religions. That's what equal rights under the law is all about.
It's human beings that have rights, not religions. Religions are not people.
But by all means if you feel you have to reject President Obama over his attempt to extend the right to contraception to all American women, go ahead. Take your burqa with you though. You wouldn't want to deny the Taliban their right to see you covered from head to toe.
