Comments: Since Obama and the Democrats took over the government everything has become more expensive and jobs fewer. Check these stats out:
Bush presidency 2001-2007 before Democrats took control of Congress:
Avg Gas price $1.84
Average foreclosure rate 1.2 %
Average unemployment 5.2%
Average National Debt 475 Billion
Since the Democrats took over congress in 2007:
Avg Gas price $2.94 (60% increase and rising)
Average foreclosure rate 3.2% (160% increase)
Average unemployment 8.4% (62% increase and rising)
Average National Debt 1.53 Trillion (220% increase)
See my point? I do not know how anyone can even consider voting in a Democrat or the Democrats in government again. Everyone needs to get wise for 2012!
HuffPo: Ladies, Stop Having Sex With Republican Men
A columnist at the liberal Huffington Post has an idea for how to increase the number of liberal, Democratic voters and suggests ladies should stop having sex with Republican men and producing children who may grow up to become conservatives.
Writer John Blumental suggests this is the appropriate response for women upset by the so-called War on Women - where Republicans and pro-life advocates are working to protect the conscience rights of religious groups that don't want to be forced to pay for birth control and abortion-causing drugs for their employees.

Democrats Turn Off Independent Voters With Abortion Worship
Following day one of the Democratic National Convention, the consensus on the part of most political observers is that Democrats are risking alienating themselves and hurting President Barack Obama's re-election chances because of their focus on abortion.
The Washington Examiner put the problem font and center in a new editorial noting that Democrats are spending considerably more time promoting abortion than focusing on the beleaguered economy. Ref. Source 8
This election is becoming more and more about abortion rather than the important issues like jobs and security. I understand that abortion is an issue but its overdone in my opinion.
