		<description>@ demure one

&quot;male who fails to have any statements about reproductive rights on his website&quot;

Demure one:  You are an idiot.

Health care. We must get to universal health coverage. I have a plan for health care in this country that will require every state to develop a system to provide universal coverage and enroll every child in a plan similar to SCHIP. But the kind of care that’s available matters as well....Women deserve affordable access to contraception and reproductive health care in general. Women know their own bodies and can make informed and educated decisions with their doctors......Part of ensuring that women can make these informed decisions is to ensure that all of our children receive age-appropriate sexual education in school. Education, prevention, and access are necessary components of any healthcare plan.

		<description>The idea that McCollum was acting like a Republican for raising concerns about Franken is exactly why Franken is going to lose this race.  It isn&#039;t just Republicans who have problems with Franken past, and mocking people who are concerned about Franken&#039;s past statements isn&#039;t going to win them over.  

We need more Democrats like Betty McCollum - people who are willing and able to call bullshit when it needs to be called.</description>

		<description>Maybe if another obnoxious alpha male who fails to have any statements about reproductive rights on his website looses the DFL will wake up and figure out that women do matter.</description>

		<description>And exactly what are the chances of a third party candidate in the Minnesota Senate race? Is it none or nill...

Beyond it all you are lying about Al Franken&#039;s views and actions on Women&#039;s Reproductive Rights... he has consistently and vocally supported progressive causes including women&#039;s reproductive rights. He just hasn&#039;t done it to your specifications and from all indications no other politician has done so either. You just have some weird obsession against Franken which means you are doing your best to re-elect New york Norm Coleman. It really is kind of sad.</description>

		<description>Amuseinc the there are other candidates besides Norm and Al....you seem to keep forgetting this...
And you know continually sending people who are not in it to stand up to injustice but to simply get a closer seat to the action - that&#039;s not the way to go.</description>

		<description>So lets send ANOTHER &quot;one in the US Senate who is failing women on reproductive rights&quot; named Norm Coleman because Al Franken has not done exactly what you think he should do? That is called cutting your nose  off to spite your face... but since you seem convinced that is how to go... well welcome to it.</description>

		<description>Amuseinc - news flash - Norm isn&#039;t the only one in the US Senate who is failing women on reproductive rights. We need a senator who will stand up against these people and fight the good fight. Al is being silent much like a bystander watching a bully in action. What&#039;s the point of continuing to send people to DC who can&#039;t stand up to bullies - indeed their silence is disinterest at best, at worst support.</description>

		<description>Unlike his opponent Norm Coleman who will not even meet with Planned Parenthood or other women&#039;s reproductive rights organizations? I suggest that Norm is, has and will fail to support women&#039;s reproductive rights programs... not that that matters to you.</description>
