    This is the best Conservatives can offer America.

    This cast of paranoid clowns, religious pimps, and suicidal fanatics.

    I look at the GOP candidates for president I think, seriously? This, this right here, this is the best you can do?

    If Jeb Bush was an airplane, it would be like attempting takeoff with one engine on fire.

  3. Yeah, the republicans are pathetic alright. Successful governors of six states, including Texas, Florida and New Jersey. Three United States Senators, one of whom went to Harvard Law and argued several important Supreme Court cases while Ag of Texas. Two doctors, one a famed pediatric surgeon and African American who, unlike our current president, actually also has a sterling record of accomplishment. A woman who was CEO of two major tech companies.

    And, just for spice, a real estate entrepreneur who is worth $10 billion and has his own hit TV show and is known on a first name basis by virtually every american.

    What a bunch of losers. LOL. I might disagree with them on policy here and there, but their accomplishments and qualifications dwarf those of the democrats. Only in the alternative liberal media universe is this a field of jokes.

    And the democrats? Let's see, we have a woman known largely for scandals, corruption and serial failures; a socialist crank from vermont and a middle aged frat boy who was governor of a small state. Seeriously, that's the best you can do?

    "Legally" blind does not mean someone is blind in the sense of the word we throw around. Some people are legally blind without glasses, and just fine with. Regardless, those who visual impairments should be asked to show some proficiency with a weapon prior to being given one. If they can't because they can't see? Well, the don't get the right to carry a gun. Sorry about that. Carry a knife.

    However, there are people who are legally blind without glasses that can operate a motor vehicle with glasses. And that could be just as dangerous were they truly "blind".

    McConnell Voted In 1993 To Legalize Fetal Tissue Donations After Abortion
    Now he's trying to defund Planned Parenthood over the practice.

    WASHINGTON -- "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) fast-tracked a bill to defund Planned Parenthood on Friday because of an undercover video of a Planned Parenthood doctor discussing the donation of fetal tissue after abortions. But McConnell was one of many Republicans who voted to lift a ban on fetal tissue donations after abortions in 1993 -- the very move that legalized Planned Parenthood's actions.

    "In 1988, the Reagan administration began a moratorium on fetal tissue from elective abortions being used in scientific research. But Congress lifted that ban in 1993 when it passed the National Institutes of Health Revitalization Act, which allowed research on human fetal tissue regardless of whether the tissue came from a voluntary abortion. McConnell voted for that bill, as did Reps. Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Fred Upton (R-Mich.), all of whom have condemned Planned Parenthood in the past two weeks for its involvement in the practice.

    “What we saw was very, very disturbing," McConnell said of the video on Monday. "I've not been a fan of funding them in the past and that remains my position."
