The only one clearly making this case to the voters is Newt.
It's not that you have a "strong viewpoint" Ms. Russel, it's just that you're easily fooled by a slickly packaged lie. You go ahead and vote for Obama, I'm just glad someone as simple-mided and easily fooled as you aren't in the classroom teaching our children anymore.
” “We all agreed that this seemed like a throwback to 40 years ago,” said Ms. Russell, 57, a retired teacher from Iowa City who describes herself as an evangelical Christian and “old school” Republican of the moderate mold.”
BS. This dolt was never a committed Republican. This is just a NYT wishcasting article pushing the memo that the GOP is waging a war against women. If this voter truly exists and believes this, then she doesn’t deserve the right to vote. The fact is that Obama has pushed our country financially to the breaking point and all this woman cares about is the so-called war on “woman’s rights” which shows that she is not very well informed as a voter.
Those words are key. Having dealt with retired (and active) teachers from California to Wisconsin, a good many of them are NUTZ. They only believe what their union tells them to believe. And they'd gladly cut off their left arms before they'd vote for any Republican. They are a lost cause.
I realize that I am insulting many ex-teachers who taught for a couple of years during their youth, and this is not directed at them. I'm talking about the ones who spent the bulk of their working lives in the classroom, including members of my own family. They have amazing blank spots in their brains about how the world works, or about the deeper philosophies of life. They only believe what other teachers (and their unions) tell them. We see it every day here in Wisconsin in their battle to unseat our wonderful Governor.
Their deeply held prejudices against business is amazing to behold. These are the people educating our children, and America had better wake up fast.
Heh. NYT’s “moderates” = hardcore leftists in reality.
“I didn`t realize I had a strong position until these conversations.”
This 50-something had no clue all these years until she “saw the light” with other 50-somethings who think the GOPers are going to restrict their “reproductive rights?”
And because of that, they`re now going to vote for the failed policies of the radical marxist whose goal is the death of America?
Really, ladies???
American voters can be such malleable idiots. Shame on that supposed “evangelical Christian” most of all.
...”We all agreed that this seemed like a throwback to 40 years ago,” said Ms. Russell, 57, a retired teacher from Iowa City who describes herself as an evangelical Christian and “old school” Republican of the moderate mold”...
People like this retired school teacher are our problem. Their ignorance about corruption in politics and the media is killing the country. This woman taught school for God only knows how many years and she doesn’t know this issue is about religious freedom from the chains of government?
When she is in those chains and not allowed to make any important decision about her own needs or well being, will she put two and two together? NO, because people like her will rarely admit that they were wrong no matter how much new information comes forth. Corrupt politicians depend on this kind of ignorance for their survival.
And it looks like we're losing the hearts and minds war.
We have GOT to find a better way or we're going to lose not just the election, but the country.
The reality is as a Conservative woman, I want “them” out of my bedroom too. What I do in my bedroom is between me, my husband, and God. It doesn't include a government mandate making me feel guilty every time I have sex thinking about all those aborted babies I paid for. I don't want “them” telling me how to live my religion or belief system either.
If you want to carry contraceptive coverage...that's your business, but forcing me to carry coverage I believe that is inherently evil is interjecting your lifestyle into my life and my eternal life.
as I understand it, the paper is a paragon of virtue in regards to not spinning the news in the Democrats' direction > sarcasm <
a teacher as an example: Aren't ALL teachers union Democrats ?
I hope all the centrists leave. It is time to believe in the basics of conservatism. Those folks just muddy the GOP water and I am glad they are leaving. She has no solid foundation, which describes those who vote for Obama. Besides, she has a paycheck to vote for.
A woman has the right to choose her contraception and to discuss her healthcare with the doctor of her choice.
As long as I do not have to pay for it.
If I pay for it, I can then dictate the terms of its delivery.
End of story.
She can have her pills, she can kill her baby. Just don’t expect me to pay for it.
This is just leftist propaganda to help Obama get re-elected, tomorrow we will find out it was a SEUI whore calming to be a republican.
Wanted: Liberal women willing to pose as 'centrist Republicans', who are so turned off by the influence of conservatives that they are voting for Barak Obama. Must be age 40-65 with no visible tatoos or piercings. No previous experience in voting for GOP candidates neccessary. Ownership of minivan desirable, but please cover all bumper stickers from 1998 election cycle. Free acting lessons provided. Frequent work available through November 5, 2012. No travel outside of mid-town Manhattan required. Contact S. Saulny of NYT for more details.
Several points:
1. Ms Kelley is an uninformed tool of the leftists - the leftists manufactured this diversionary flap of contraception. Just ask George Stephanopolous.
2. How believable is it that a retired female govermment drone, a teacher, who lives in Seattle, is a conservative? It's NOT. Most likely, she was swooning at Obama rallies in 2008.
3. The NYT would much rather propagandize on behalf of the White House usurper rather than investigate Fast and Furious gun running - right Pinchy?
Why would a 57 year old woman need birth control? Most women are past the age of fertility by then.
1. She is not a Republican.
2. She is a Liar.
3. She is a Public School teacher (Probably a Lib)
4. This is not about "birth control" it is about Obozo's direct assault on Religious Freedom granted by God and written in the U.S. Constitution in the 1st Amendment by the founders.
I think the NYT made this woman up. I've never heard anyone who wasn't a Women's Studies major talk like that.
NYT drives two home with a double to center field for the team.
