    Did you see that picture floating around on the net of Putin, who was KGB at the time, acting like a civilian when Reagan toured Moscow? He was like 2 feet from Reagan.

    Red have you forgotten that Obama spent his first term pushing a "reset" with Russia. He made it a point to cultivate Putin and his foot stool predecessor. As noted before he gave up the anti missile sites in Easter Europe for nothing to placate Putin.
    His treatment of Putin was no different than W's

    You know the anti abortion, as much as you will not acknowledge it, is not about preventing women rights. It is the question of when life beings. However the main point is that you and those on the left bring it to this extreme of "Anti-Women" rights and can't even acknowledge the debate to be had.

    You can quote some singularities on extreme right wing proposals, but there are just as many that are extreme left wing.

    You are better than that.

    It is funny you mention right wing pork, as if the left doesn't jump to that extreme. The only difference is you agree with most of what the left does and do not care to acknowledge it or mention it. You have no problem citing the faults of others though.

    Have you forgotten that the President of Russia was Dmitry Medvedev during Obama's first term? Medvedev was not confrontational with the West and a reset made good sense, while Putin was out of office.

    As noted before the missile defense system was always a bargaining chip, which is why Bush dragged his feet for 8 years without implementing it. It was a trade to get Russia's support in the denuclearization of Iran. And we got it.

    And this is why women think the the Republicans just don't get it. You are telling women that it is not about their rights! You aren't listening to them. They have a very different point of view. The GOP just. Doesn't. Get it.

    No I'm not. Some nut jobs are, just as some left wing nut job has their agenda. You group us all together.

    I ask when does life being. When that is determined, there are two lives to consider. The mother and the child......

    That's a good question because to republican in Washington and in state governments the moment it's born it ceases to be a life and now it's a drain on society....unless it's white. :)

    True, but I think that is a larger issue that also need to be addressed. Sadly, if a white republican talks about it, it's racist.

    It's because you all stand together.

    Absolutely. But it is the right of the family alone to make those considerations, not the government, based on the religious beliefs of third parties.

    On every other issue the conservatives decry governmental interference with individual rights except this issue. Perhaps they have it wrong.
