I am getting sick listening to
what is coming out of Rick Santorm's mouth on Aaron Brown via CNN. His summary of his belief and opinions on abortion sums up exactly what the divide is currently in the U.S. Since he struggles with Aaron's question we even hear of many other reasons his ideology fails the majority of main stream american values.

Aaron pressed him on his opinon of Roe vs. Wade and he kept side stepping the question. But Aaron would not give in and kept to the very simple question, "Do you think Roe vs. Wade was wrongly decided?". It was amusing to see this played out once again, the right not answering a direct question, only diverting attention from it to discuss a portion of what the question was asking. Santorm finally gave in and answered "Yes" with Aaron finally not giving in.

What was disappointing after that though, as usual, was the follow up...there was none. Only Aaron apologizing to Santorm hoping he would return to CNN for another interview.

What stares us progressives right in the face everyday and what I see we continue to fail at is to ask the simple straight forward questions, and FOLLOW up with facts to DEBATE or CHALLENGE what is being said. We should wait for the response and then follow up with continued facts and point out REAL DOCUMENTED EXAMPLES of what proves them wrong. We are talking high school debate here....and corporate media continues to fail us...

I am finished with my rant...

2. I never thought I would, but I actually turned off The Daily Show tonight.
Ugh, Rick Santorum is a fucking idiot.
