God, please spare me from Paul Ryan.........

just watched a short interview he did with a local (Pittsburgh) news correspondent. According to Ryan, he's not going to stop anyone from obtaining birth control. He was asked about his "forced rape" comments in proposed laws, he said rape is rape. He doesn't want these side issues to take away from the election.

SIDE ISSUES, his proposals and policies that would limit the rights of women is not a side issue. It is the issue. If this is the way he wants to treat more than 1/2 the population of the United States, then he needs to move aside so he doesn't get stomped on by women who will vote against him.


I wanted to add that I was pissed that at a rally today he was seen waving the Terrible Towel. The Terrible Towel is a symbol of pride to Pittsburghers. The profits from every sale go to a Home and foundation for the mentally retarded. Also if Ryan knew anything about the Steelers, he would know that the owners backed President Obama and former owner Dan Rooney was appointed Ambassador to Ireland by President Obama.
