...I respect SOME of his views, too...but he is not a Republican or a Democrat...and ONE of those is going to win this election...we have the great privilege and heavy responsibility of making our vote cause the right one of those two to win...instead of throwing it down a wishing well...

See, they even advertise right up front that their content is biased. At least you know you are getting something that will reinforce what you think is right. Unfortunately, without actually seeking the truth in whatever its form, you are doomed to ignorance.

Finally, a pragmatic man! You have only one vote, so use it wisely, unless of course you live in Duval County.

Is his mediamatters link a right wing site too? Just wondering.

...I don't know...I posted the links to illustrate that the truth is whatever this side or the other says it is...and the expert information has credentials on both sides...and the truth is somewhere in the soup...for us to fish out frantically, lest we be(ready???) "doomed to ignorance"...

Even the media matters article states that planned parenthood partners with other groups like Susan G Komen foundation to provide mammograms, so the idea that planned parenthood is the end all, be all provider of mammograms is just flat out wrong.

Either way, this is all way off the original topic.

Back on that, at this point I would vote for a rabid squirrel as POTUS and a half retarded turtle as VP if thats what the republicans came up with as long as it got Obama out of office. Its not like they could do as poor of a job as Obama has.

No, not at all, but it also fails to make your point, if I understand what your point is supposed to be.

[74novaman]

if I understand what your point is supposed to be.

Clearly....no.

Wow! You're still hanging on to your statement that "Planned Parenthood is one of the largest providers of mammograms in the nation if not in Texas" ???

Okay - well, here is some truth for you:

http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/c ... A/mqsa.cfm
http://www.acr.org/accreditation/Accred ... earch.aspx

These two sites allow you to find accredited mammography locations. Find me a planned parenthood clinic in Texas (or any State) that provides mammograms. If they are one of the "largest providers of mammograms in the nation if not Texas," it shouldn't be that difficult for you...and then you can go back to being completely negative about any and all republican VP choices.

Interesting. These are the facilities in which the physical equipment is located, not the list of those agencies who pay the freight.

[speedsix]

...or stated more accurately, those are the facilities where the physical equipment is located,and the trained, licensed, and legally approved hands-on professionals actually PROVIDE the services, no matter what person, insurance company, or other organization writes the check...or sends them over by referral...

...I may send a friend to a licensed physician, may even pay the bill, but that doesn't make me a healthcare provider...and I would only assert that I was one if I were trying to attract money that I could scrape an "administrative" or "referral" fee off the top ...

Actually, the way the ballot isshaping up my preferences would be in the following order:

1. Rabid squirrel/half retarded turtle
2. Mittens Romney/whoever he decides gives him the best political punch
3. The current occupier/ Obama's life insurance policy that ensures no one wants to eliminate the POTUS due to fear of the VPOTUS taking the job.

I like it! How do I write-in on the electronic ballot?

My only worry is the voting officials counting my vote for a Half-Retarded Turtle as a vote for Joe Biden.
