or 100 we were wrong. we made a really bad mistake here. that is what they were saying. if we look at the larger battle as far as planned parenthood and the services they provide, there has been movement on the part of congress to see where the funding comes from. does this under cut the movement? if anything this helps planned parenthood. i am in the minority, i think that komen, based on the original reason for it, in terms of the investigation, i think they have a right to pull funding. with the questions surrounding it and the people that give money to komen, i run in the race for the cure and i want my money to go to women that are getting breast care and breast cancer treatment. i do not want it to go to an organization that conducts abortions. so from that standpoint i can understand why they made that decision. but given the overall pr
are relatively intelligent individuals. at the end of the day though, the head of planned parenthood says that this should not be dictated by politics we have 72% of americans saying they do not want their dollars to fund abortions and cecil richards said it should not be involved in politics, when half a billion dollars ofincome comes from politicians you have the right to say that. for her to say the funds are not mixed. your argument is that funds are then she is breaking the law then. that is exactly right. that is where we are having an investigation to determine exactly how the money is being spent. alice, i would say that this idea that there was an investigation, yesterday on andrea mitchell reports, it s one guy saying i have an issue with this organization and i m going pull i m going to make it and then sort of the komen
report, others, there s a good chance that if it in the mid-eights that was bad news for the white house. the white house feels if it at 8.5% or above, it will be hard if not impossible to win back independents. the other two important pieces are money and his performance in swing states. that gallup poll about three or four days ago that looked at the swing states, the 12 states that either party could realistically win, they are up for grabs, you have mitt romney in the middle of the nasty republican party, running even or beating the president in those states, that is bad news. you couple that with other data that shows his favorable rating in 2011 was lower in those states than it was in 2010, and we would have said that obama will clean republicans clocks
it going. alice? i think that romney will do well in nevada, but we have a long road ahead. agree, gingrich has money, ron paul has the organization, got off the phone with the santorum camp, they are in it until super tuesday, my money is on all four. you wiall four going to the . i m putting all my money and your money, all four going to tamp a this is the most boring wager. gingrich is not going to sample tampa, i ll put everything else that i own on the fact that ron paul will be running for president until we have all long left the earth and gone back to the gold standard, ron paul is never getting out of a race, he will be 1,000 years old and running for the presidential
something other than that. they could say we are a prolife group and our leaders are prolife, we do not want our funds to go there, what is wrong with that? there are reports that things that went wrong at planned parenthood, and the congressman that is doing the investigation has staffers that have worked there and they told about over billing and things like that. the bottom line is, let s investigate it and remove all guilt and more forward. innocent until proven guilty. the whole thing about the controversy, it happened and komen foundation dealt with it and got it out of their way. hopefully they can save their brand and identity and mission. but, you know the komen foundation is supposed to be politically savvy and cream of the crop of how to raise money and how to work the system and
