    I can only hope that he does drop out of the race. I don't believe that anyone as ignorant as he seems to be is fit to be a Senator. I would have hoped that if someone were a pro-life advocate they could at least take the time to understand the reproductive system. Not to mention that "legitimate rape" is possibly one of the most offensive things you could say when discussing this issue. Is he trying to imply that there is non-legitimate rape or does he just not realize what he's saying?

    From reading the article I feel as tho they did not get the most current and correct medical information about this subject. I also think candidate Romney is trying to back peddle and correct what he said in a earlier interview and he is not actually legitimately concern with this controversy.

    i agree with Mallory I really would not want someone that ignorant being in power of anything

    I don't think anyone ignorant and has no respect what so ever should have any power.

    This is something I've heard about for the last few days and I really wish I could tell this man how ignorant and stupid he sounds. Does he really think that's true, because if he does then there's obviously something wrong and he needs to get help.

    I just wanted to point out that Todd Akin is a member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. Which I think makes his statement even more ridiculous.

    "So the Senate majority leader's decision to create a 13-man working group on health care, including staunch conservatives and ardent foes of the Affordable Care Act - but no women - has been widely seen on Capitol Hill as a move to placate the right as Congress decides the fate of President Barack Obama's signature domestic achievement."

    "Donald Trump's unprecedented second impeachment trial begins on Tuesday 9 February in the Senate. He is the first US president to be impeached twice, and it is the first time an impeachment trial has been held against a former president"

    In trumps rally he never openly said that his supporters should have stormed the capitol he said that they should "Fight like hell" and "Peacefully and "Patriotically Make your voices heard". A second impeachment isn't necessary.
  • mgerman776 on 08 Feb 21
     
    Um, I think a second impeachment is very needed. Trump may have done good for the economy and we can thank him for that, but as a person he is horrid. The thing he says, does, posts, etc, he acts like a little 14-year-old girl and I would rather my country not be run by a child. Him being impeached TWICE says enough. The things you have to do to be impeached even once..

    Although the article has a liberal bias, the information provided (including the charts at the end) are fairly interesting about the frequency of filibusters for the last 20 years.

    This is nuts. The headline says it all. There has to be some more comprimise in the coming years or the trouble we have will multiply tenfold.
  • Sean Powers on 14 Dec 12
     
    I agree with you Blake. The reason why this country is going down hill is because Democrats and Republicans fight over how to fix it, and nothing ever gets done.

    "If Branstad is confirmed by the Senate, Republican Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds would become Iowa's governor. She would be the first female in hold that office in Iowa. Reynolds would hold the position until Branstad's term ends in January 2019, and she could run for governor in 2018."

    Illegal immigrants could receive more than $7 billion this year in federal tax credits, according to one estimate, thanks to a loophole in the law that allows them to reap the government payments with no questions asked. Sen.
  • dallas muschall on 22 Aug 12
     
    Though illegal immigrants are prohibited from receiving similar tax credits, a quirk in the law allows them to qualify for the child tax credit. And it's a "refundable" credit, meaning recipients can reap the money -- with average checks totaling about $1,800 -- even if they've paid no taxes

    The same liberal Democratic senators who stuck with the White House through six years of politically excruciating votes are set to break away in droves to oppose Obama's free trade efforts. Their goal is to block a bill that greases the wheels for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, an enormous 12-country trade deal that Obama wants -- badly -- to add to his legacy.

    California's Senate passed a bill Thursday by a 24-15 vote that would automatically register to vote anyone who gets or renews a driver's license, unless they chose to opt out. The state Assembly already passed a similar bill in June. If the Senate version passes an Assembly vote, as expected, the measure would head to the desk of Gov.

    Washington (CNN) -- After Sen. Tom Harkin likened her to Taylor Swift, Republican Senate candidate Joni Ernst is taking the pop star's advice. Just "shake it off." That's how Ernst responded Monday to Harkin's remarks last week that Ernst wasn't fit to be Iowa's senator just because she's "really attractive and she sounds nice."

    I think that the CIA should be supported and not talked down on because of these incidents. I think that the CIA has to go through deep measures to protect citizens of the U.S and the things they do shouldn't be questioned.
