    No

    No, he received the nomination of his party to run for the senate and the party will bear the ramifications one way or another, it is NOT as if the views he expressed are genuinely contrary to the views of the republican party or the current republican party platform, it is simply that he expressed out loud what anti choice people already think.

    I said no because he is exactly what the republican party really represents and we all need to see how stupid they have become. The only reason why other republicans turned on him is that he said what they all believe. Don't forget that he along with Paul Ryan worked together to redefine "rape" so they can take woman's rights away.

    This man is a menace to society and has no respect for women at all.

    I really don't know. The guy says something so off the wall you wonder about his intelligence, but if he continues on his Senate bid they will let him know by their votes whether he went too far.

    Wish we could just stay out of people's personal lives and concentrate on fixing the economy. :O(

    Republicans don't want to fix the economy because that would get Obama re-elected.

    oh THAT'S right b/c we dont have an unemployment rate of 8.9% or anything like that now do we, and i don't even want to hear you blame the previous Administration b/c Obama has had 3.5 years which HE promised to fix the economy (whilst he was running) and he hasnt kept his promise, i dont expect someone to fix the economy in one term, but if you are going to promise to fix it, then he SHOULD have fixed it, otherwise it is just a lie, surprise, surprise

    Actually candidate and president Obama never promised to "fix the economy" in his first term, no presidential candidate would ever make such a promise, with the exception of George H. W. (the father) Bush's "read my lips no new taxes" promise and George W. Bush's (the son) pledge to not participate in "nation building" little did we know a few years later the US would attempt just that in Afghanistan and in Iraq at a tremendous cost to our country. One cannot blame any president for an economic downturn, business and the macro economy is cyclical any TRUE conservative would know that, the president or government does not materially influence the business cycle. Did GOVERNMENT create the tech boom of the late 1990's and Early 2000's? The Govt. May or may not tax businesses AFTER they have made their gross profits (taxes which allegedly hinder their desire to expand and hire people) but not before business transactions take place to get those taxable profits in the first place. To assume otherwise is the give credence to President Obama’s “you didn't build that comment” and NO conservative would ever admit that, now would they?

    We're not in power, currently. The best we can do is try to staunch the frenzied spending and block as many self-destructive policies as we can.

    Absolutely correct, we should spend tax revenues on the infrastructures of Iraq and Afghanistan in order to win the " hearts and minds" of those people, just like we did eight plus years ago aka frenzied spending and self-descructive policies. Perhaps you should consider taking a civics lesson guess who controlls the "monetary outlays" of the government, the executive branch? The Legislative Branch? The Judicial Branch? remember the three branches of govenment and what they are? the correct answer is the Legislative branch and guess who is currently in controll of that? Hint the Speaker of the House is John Boehner (R) Ohio 2011 to Present. Oh and Guess who was in controll of it Eight Plus Years ago? another clue Dennis Hastert (R) served 1999 to 2007, do the republican's bear a huge portion of the blame for the current national debt (controlled the house 10 our of 14 years) the deficit and the fact that money has been wasted building up other countries? to quote Sarah Palin "You Betcha!" and don't quote ditto heads carping about "Obama care" because that has not even gone into effect yet, NO ONE knows what that will cost or save, the future is unknown, and if you say TARP or ARRA then know what you are talking about before you say anything.
