    You are right of course because it takes leadership in the Presidency, something that has been absent for the last 4 years.

    Seeing what a dismal failure this convention is, seeing Monk really must be a high point...

    If only Bush were back to lead the nation bravely into more useless wars and bankruptcy! Remember Bush? He's the president the Republicans didn't mention at their convention!

    Most medical insurance companies provide contraception under thier benefits, and Obamacare mandated that preventive benefits be available. Contraception prevents unwanted pregnancy.

    Someone else wouldn't be paying for birth control, the insurance companies would be paying pharmacies, and trickling up the supply chain, pharmaceutical companies for prescriptions members get for birth control.

    You won't have to pay a dime for anyone's birth control, neither will the government.

    There are extremely rare occaisonal instances where somebody who is on disability, and has medicare advantage, and also takes contraceptives while on medicare, but because part D coverage isn't available through original medicare, the government doesn't pay the medicare advantage companies higher captitiation...

    .....so, the government doesn't pay for anyone's birth control.

    The freedom to take contraceptives is a freedom.

    People who have preexisting conditions and couldn't get health insurance are better off.

    Women who do the same jobs as men but were paid less are better off.

    Students who depend on Pell grants and student loans are better off.

    Parents who have children in college and can now keep them on their health policy are better off.

    Troops who served multiple deployments in the hellhole of Iraq are better off.

    Troops drawn down in Afghanistan are better off.

    The country is better off because we've been CREATING jobs for 28 months instead of losing some 800,000 jobs a month as we were when Obama came into office.

    The country is better off because the automobile industry was saved.

    The whole world is better off because bin Laden is dead.

    Women are NOT better off due solely to the archaic, "let's all go back in time" laws passed by Republican governors and legislators and the threat of Romney/Ryan defunding Planned Parenthood which provides hundreds of thousands of women with basic health care they can't afford to get anywhere else.

    The country will NOT be better off under Romney/Ryan and the Supreme Court justices they will appoint because they know they'll uphold their draconian efforts to set women's rights back 100 years as they're attempting now to do.

    The country will NOT be better off if Romney/Ryan raise taxes on the middle class, give the 1% more massive tax cuts and once again deregulate the bankers so they can do this to us all over again. It will certainly not be better off when they turn Medicare into a voucher system which will prevent retirees getting adequate health care.

    I'm not at all sure why ANYBODY would vote to elect Romney/Ryan and put the same people who wrecked the country back in charge to "fix" it. I especially can't imagine why any woman would walk into a voting booth and vote for people who have no respect for them at all and are actively working to "put them in their place" where they used to have them

    from the speeches at the Democrat national convention, democrats appear to hate white males, but it has to be put in context.

    we hate when white males who don't want to be charitable with their money through government, and pay more taxes for welfare expendatures. We hate when white males don't acknowledge the other races, homosexuals, and women as oppressed, and deserve affirmative action and their expense.

    we hate these things, not the white males, but what they do in the republican party

    You need to do some research on Dr. Stanley Ann Dunham and the work she's remembered for around the world before you call her a slut and a hippie whore - you obviously don't know enough to be humiliated at such an ugly, uninformed post.

    I think you should do some reading before you defend her communism and sleeping around.

    Don't sweat the enthusiasm gap. The second beer is never as good as the first, but nobody can stop at one.
