Do you support Rush Limbaugh's proposal?

[Jon Miller]

A few years ago I had a couple in my office wanting to get birth control. The girl, who was from Russia complained that she had to go to a doctor to get "the pill". In Russia oral contraceptives can be bought without a prescription. Maybe that's what the government should aim for, making "the pill" available over the counter.

Sounds reasonable to me?

I support the consequences for him saying it.

Well sure...shouldn't everyone be accountable for their actions?

Not my point however, but I do see where you are coming from and agree!

[Jon Miller]

Over the counter pseudoepehedrine is commonly used in the US to make methamphetamine these days.

It is actually not available in most countries.

We have more access to drugs than most countries.

Hmmm...

Not Okay: Calling a politically active group feminazis.
Okay: Call a politically active entertainer a flaming nazi gasbag.

Interesting the judgments polypeople justify to themselves.

Support the right to free speech for ALL parties. If the only sppech allowed was that which you agree with then we would have a much less free nation to live in.

(note: Before you jump...I did not support what Limbaugh said, but I certainly support his right to say it)

I'm sorry, I must have missed the part where someone said that Limbaugh should not be allowed to say whatever he wants.

They either cow-tow to people like Rush or they become possum Republicans who never ever speak out against the extremists or contradict them. When an uncomfortable subject is brought up by the extremists they just shake out of fear for a few seconds then roll over and play dead hoping the extremist base won't notice. They sure don't want to stick their heads out and speak out against the extremists because then they'll get primary challenges from the far right, the right wing media will label them "RINOs", and their political carriers will effectively be over. The Republican Party has been captured by the most extremist elements of the base even if you don't want to admit it.

Hmmm...I am Republican, but am pretty moderate on most things. I think there are more of us than you realize. It is because folks like Right wing Rush have such popular shows that people believe the ultra conservatives have "taken over the party". If this were true then Santorum would be sweeping the primaries.

The truth is that Republicans nominated a moderate last time and will nomionate a moderate this time. It is the democratic party that is nominating at the extremes (i.e. Clinton being somewhat of a moderate vs. Obama a clear left winger).

But, the democratic propoganda machine does an excellent job of portraying the Republicans as the extremist...go figure.

Over the counter pseudoepehedrine is commonly used in the US to make methamphetamine these days.

And so they passed a law requiring pharmacies to record your driver's license when you buy pseudoephedrine (this happened to me the other day when I bought a 10-pack of 24-hour sudafed). A similar law was proposed in Russia about over the counter codeine, but the pharmacy lobby killed it since they're making a fortune selling codeine to addicts.

You know...in re-reading things, so did I. Thanks for pointing that out.

[Guynemer]

And seriously, guy. Boehner's comment was fine. Chill out.

Bull****. It was mealy-mouthed political doublespeak of the highest order.

It is okay to say Limbaugh is a worthless piece of **** without saying that those who state such an obvious truth are also worthless pieces of ****. Boehner, like most politicians, is a complete ****ing *****.

No worries, brother.

This is obviously implied every time a liberal criticizes a conservative, since liberals are flaming nazi gasbags

No! Liberals are flaming COMMIE gas bags.

It is conservatives that are flaming NAZI gas bags.

Didn't you have a history class in school?

I'm sorry, I was unable to read that. I have all Nazis on ignore.

It's scary as **** that Santorum is even IN the primaries.
