Race for the White House - The Company We Keep

With friends like these...?

Romney has supporters that no politician wants;

Shameless, self-promoters "Tweeting" nasty , racist's taunts,

Men who say that pregnancies resulting from assualt -

(If the rape's "legitimate")  the baby is  God's fault.

Guys who say they'll never get a vote from someone smart.

All the lunatics at FOX who've also played their part

Making independent voters stop and question; "Why

Is it that so many crazy people like this guy?"

If we're known to others by the company we keep;

Judging by those kinds of friends - Mitt Romney is a creep.

I'm not buying what he's selling, even were it free.

Anyone Rush Limbaugh hates deserves a vote from me.

Race for the White House - 50 Shades of Rape?

"Forcible"?  "Legitimate"?  The 50 shades of rape?

I would not believe it if I hadn't seen the tape.

I am still incredulous that Akin's staying in;

That he's only 10 points back and has a chance to win.

In the current day and age I thought this battle won,

But that's not the platform the Republicans will run.

Christian Right is organized this time and running hard.

Women voters need to stay aware and be on guard.

Rights to our own bodies that they plan to take away.

They'd deny us birth control...  Viagra?  Then they'll pay.

And, should we get pregnant during rape that's not legit,

Once the child is born, Republicans don't give a  ....  ahem - spit.

Then you're just a welfare mom and you are on your own.

"Sorry sweetie. Out of luck.  Our deficit has grown

After all the subsidies and tax breaks for the rich.

Surely you can understand and not be such a ...  uhh - witch."

Maybe I should wrap this up...  I feel the need to swear.

As I go, I saw a video I thought I'd share.

This girl is terrific and she has a lovely voice.

Have a happy weekend and, remember - Vote for Choice.

Missouri's Senate Race - You're Kidding Me, Right?

Claire McCaskill's Senate chances got a recent lift

After her opponent gave an unexpected gift.

Something so egregious there's no way he can survive.

If he has the sense God gave him, he'll drop out by 5.

Mr. Akin claimed a woman's body will reject

Pregnancy by rape from a "legitimate" suspect.

"Has a way of shutting down that kind of thing," said he.

(You can bet McCaskill's people greeted that with glee.)

Problem is that Akin's wrong - of course - but not far off.

Read the platform they're supporting first, before you scoff.

No exceptions for abortions.  Choice is always wrong.

Doctor's office isn't where Republicans belong...

Not if you're a woman - Frankly, not if you're a man.

I don't understand objections to Obama's plan.

Help us all gain access to good medical advice.

Women who are leaning Romney/Ryan should think twice.
