So here is what I got out of them... RNC - The guy who piloted Obamacare in Massachusetts is here to save us all from it. Primary platform seems to be: "Are you better off than four years ago? Tax cuts for everyone (but more for us) and We can do better than Obama (just don't ask how)!" DNC - Highlight was the guy who created the housing bubble; the dot-com bubble; and arguably contributed heavily to 9-11 performing fuzzy math on stage. Party platform seems to be a mixture of "Bush did it (and Republicans will make it worse)! It's not our fault! and We hope you aren't very good at math!" |

That's stunningly accurate. You should go into political commentary. |

You forgot..."Oh and if you disagree with Obama, you're racist." |

It's wrong to mention a "wrap-up" without talking about Sandra Fluke. |

It's sexist/racist/misogynist/any "ist" you want to insert- to debunk her position with facts. Shes supposed to be the unassailable image that can take free shots at "the evil rich white guy club" (republicans). I mean cmon man aren't you reading the script? |

I would never demean the brilliant, hardworking, independent women in my life by titling Sandra Fluke as I would them. She's simply a useless ****. |

Yes, because a group of Christian ministers with a token Jew is a very diverse and well-rounded panel of advisers for birth control policy. |

Snarky soundbites aside, the panel's stated purpose was to discuss the effect Gov't mandated birth control and abortifacients has on religious freedoms. I'm not sure Ms. Fluke would have had much insight to share. |

Of course. Because the only people qualified to weigh in on religious freedom are priests and theologians. That's exactly the freedom of religion guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. |

It's certainly more diverse than a 30-year-old wealthy white female who talks as if she's still a high-school sophomore giving a speech on social issues for the debate club, and who entered Georgetown on a scholarship they provided for the express purpose of taking issue on their policy on providing birth control. |

Since Fluke's stated position is that somehow mandating private institutions to provide birth control contrary to their own religious beliefs is somehow not a religious freedom issue at all, but a women's health issue and ONLY a women's health issue, no, she has no insight to share, just as Vindicarre stated. The Bill of Rights guarantees "free exercise" not "free exercise unless it can be classified as a women's health issue." So yes, it pretty much is the freedom of religion guaranteed by the Bill of Rights. Fluke has a right to say whatever she wants; she doesn't have a right to demand an audience for her bigoted ignorance before Congress. |
