This contraception issue...I feel like I'm watching a Leave it to Beaver rerun

It feels like a throwback to the 50's. Polls show that most Catholic families today use birth control and it has not been an issue for so long that I had forgotten that the ban existed.

I'm not Catholic but I respect everyone's right to have a faith that gives them comfort. I do not intend to demean Catholics, but wasn't the birth control ban a Papal proclamation rather than a concept introduced in the Bible? And why do Republicans accept the candidacy of a man who expects me and all others to accept his beliefs.

Santorum wants this country to accept his personal beliefs. That is religious aggression. And the Repugs actually consider him a legitimate candidate to run this country. Yoy!

they got nuthin. just nuthin.
as long as we get out the vote we win. it's really important too. personally it's too horrible for me to contemplate any one of the republican candidates taking office.
