Mitt Romney & Robert Bork

Were you around 25 years ago when Robert Bork was REJECTED by BOTH Republicans AND Democrats to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court? (  http://eightiesclub.tripod.com/id320.htm )  Well, he's baaaaaaaaaaack!! On the Romney Campaign.

"Robert Bork defended poll taxes and literacy tests for voters, and he called the Civil Rights Act unsurpassed ugliness. He believes that politicians should be able to outlaw birth control.
He believes that the First Amendment shouldn't apply to literature, art or science.
Bork believes that the Constitution's promise of Equal Protection doesn't apply to women.
He ruled that a corporation is free to tell female employees to be sterilized or be fired."

Mitt Romney’s Secrets

"MITT ROMNEY’S contemptuous attitude toward the importance of public disclosure is increasingly troubling. Whether it involves the details of his personal finances or the identity of his big fundraisers, the presumptive Republican is setting a new, low bar for transparency."
"Candidates such as Mr. McCain, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, among others, voluntarily did the right thing and revealed the identity of these major fundraisers."

What Hilary Rosen Meant To Say

Common Sense, really! Anyone who claims to rationally compare Ann Romney's never having "worked a day in her life" with a single mother who MUST work to SURVIVE, or a wife who HAS to work to provide basic survival (or, hopefully, something more) is simply crazy or a political hack.
I will let the matter rest with a REAL working mother who phrased the situation better than I:

When Mormons Were Socialists: Why the Mormon Church's Founders Would be Very Disappointed in Mitt Romney

"As an outcast faith, early Mormons experimented with communal living and alternative marriages. This original brand of Mormonism was typified by their rugged frontier prophet and polygamist outsider Brigham Young. In 1848, Young famously declared, “There shall be no private ownership of the streams that come out of the canyons, nor the timber that grows on the hills. These belong to the people: all the people.”"

Religious Leaders Slam Ryan For Using Catholic Faith To Justify Cutting Programs That Help The Poor

“It’s the height of hypocrisy for Rep. Ryan to claim that his approach to the budget is shaped by Catholic teaching and values,” said Fr. John Baumann, S.J., founder of PICO National Network. [...] “A central moral measure of any budget proposal is how it affects “the least of these” (Matthew 25). The needs of those who are hungry and homeless, without work or in poverty should come first.”

"This isn’t the first time religious leaders have criticized the House GOP budget. When Ryan released the budget in March, Bishop Gene Robinson called it an “immoral disaster” that “robs the poor,” and Father Thomas Kelly, a constituent of Ryan’s, said he was “outraged” that Ryan defended the budget “on moral grounds.” "
