Life News ^ | Steven Ertelt

Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood, the nation's biggest abortion business, says Mitt Romney is even more anti-Planned Parenthood than John McCain.

The ad buy targets Romney's previous comments saying he would "get rid" of federal taxpayer funding for the abortion business and Planned Parenthood indicated the ad buy would target places like West Palm Beach, Florida; Des Moines, Iowa; and voters in northern Virginia.

Answering a question from CNN affiliate KDSK of St. Louis, Romney listed a series of programs he would cut or eliminate as president in order to reduce the federal deficit.

"You get rid of Obamacare, but there are others," Romney the station. "Planned Parenthood, we're gonna get rid of that. The subsidy for Amtrak, I would eliminate that. The National Endowment for the Arts, the National Endowment for the Humanities, both excellent programs, but we can't afford to borrow money to pay for these things."

“Was McCain anti anything?”

After the pick, he became anti-Palin.

Then why did he give them a permanent spot on the board that helped make insurance decisions for MassCare?

We may be stuck with him, but let’s not pretend that his past doesn’t even exist, shall we?

Domestically he was’nt. If it were McCain’s decision after his death he would be suspended exactly halfway between heaven and hell with the other RINO Republicrats in the Senate. Compromise and bi-partisanship have destroyed the GOP and our country. They never seem to understand the fact that meeting the other side halfway when the other side is wrong moves you in the wrong direction!!!!!!!!

Unless the $50 fee is at hand and the baby is ‘gentile’.

Thank you Cecile for pointing that out. That will surely HELP Romney pull-in some of the ‘not so sure’ votes he’ll need in November!!

Nonsense. Romney put a representative of Planned Parenthood as an ex officio member of the board of Romneycare. It is the ONLY organization to get that treatment.

Which is not to say that McCain was ever reliable either.

But the obvious purpose of this Planned Parenthood missive is to persuade leftists and PP lovers to vote for Obama.

Well, including his having been (it seems forever) anti-Conservatives, this BOTTOM-FEEDING-SCUMBAG (see: how he treated the families of our MIA/POW's during the hearings on this issue and how he burried this matter, for my reasoning) was Anti-Swift Boat Vets as well as Anti-Vietnam Vets who were working diligently to expose the phony, fraudulent, Anti-American, Traitor, John "F'n" Kerry back in 04.

He basically told us to shut up, sit down and get over it and went on to defend his "good bud" Kerry over those Millions of us who Kerry had denigrated, dishonored, slandered, lied about and caused irreperable harm while head of the Vietnam Vets Against the War and his testimony before Congress.

From that point on, Juan McPain was no longer any Vietnam "brother" to me or many, many, others and I hold him just below Kerry as geing lower than whale dung.

Oh no, its worse than that. In fact, wait a few minutes and the HATE-ROMNEY-MORMON crowd (well, not actually a "crowd," just a few, thank God) will show up and SWEAR that he is...wait for it....TEN TIMES WORSE than Obama.

Never mind that Obummer never met an abortion he didn't like; supported late-term abortion (for ANY reason) and EVEN, supported INFANTICIDE (by opposing the Born Alive Act) while serving in the IL Legistlature....YOU KNOW WHERE THE BABIES WHO SURVIED ABORTION WERE THROWN IN A HAMPER AND LEFT TO DIE....

But not too worry, they will come up with SOMETHING which makes Mittens more dangerous, a threat to our Republic and even more despicable than Dear Leader.

1. “Ex officio”
2. “Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer”
3. Politics and large organizations work like that
