Ron Johnson says Benghazi is a big issue, but abortion isn't?
Johnson, turn off Fox And Friends!
Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson says that voters in his state are going to vote for GOP hopeful Mitt Romney because they are not "at all" concerned about preserving reproductive rights for women.
On Sunday, Fox News host Chris Wallace asked Johnson why women should vote for Romney after he endorsed Republican Indiana Senate candidate Richard Mourdock, who recently said that pregnancy from rape "is something that God intended to happen."
"I've had one person at all talk about the abortion issue during this entire campaign," the tea party-backed senator explained. "It's not even an issue here in Wisconsin. I mean, it doesn't even move the radar at all."
"What people are concerned about is -- it is unbelievable how many people came up to me demanding answers on Benghazi," Johnson added. "That's really the question on the table in the last ten days, is what happened in Benghazi."
"Abortion doesn't even show up."

(41,984 posts)Benghazi matters. Of course it does. But if women have no rights then why bother with anything we tell the world, anything we say we're protecting elsewhere? Honestly, if we women are left to the whims of men who believe we are not worth everything, that we are objects to be moved about under their power, then what we do elsewhere has no value whatsoever.

You damned repukes are the ones making it an issue, and then running from it when your less controlled brethren actually spew out the woman-hating filth you believe.
and, hate to tell you this johnson, but I doubt half your constituents could even tell you where benghazi is, or what happened there.
