How exactly did you get elected?
Go to his Facebook Page and post a link to this post in a comment. I did. This clown can’t go 30 seconds without flipping out about Planned Parenthood. Be respectful. Simply point out that readers need to take his posts with a grain of salt, since he clearly doesn’t check them for accuracy.

“All Israeli wars since 1973 were flawed wars of choice. Israel initiated all of them. None of them was inevitable, none resulted in any benefit that could not have been achieved using different means. In fact all of them were disastrous for us, even if the disaster was even greater for the other side. The most megalomaniac of them all, the Second Lebanon War, was also the most disastrous of them all. This bears remembering when debating the even greater megalomania of an attack on Iran.” —
Israelis should be afraid of their leaders, not Iran

“As with Republican efforts to eliminate federal funding for Planned Parenthood’s family planning services, the right’s crusade against the Komen Foundation was not just based on opposition to abortion, but on religiously-motivated conspiracy theories about reproductive medicine. Komen should stop funding Planned Parenthood not just because Planned Parenthood provides abortions, but because it provides contraceptives (which activists variously claim are ineffective, thus not preventing pregnancy, or harmful, causing, among other things, cancer).” — Sarah Posner, Komen, Planned Parenthood, and Conspiracy Theories | Religion Dispatches

Paul Krugman: Romney did mean what he said. He isn't concerned. -
First of all, just a few days ago, Mr. Romney was denying that the very programs he now says take care of the poor actually provide any significant help. On Jan. 22, he asserted that safety-net programs — yes, he specifically used that term — have “massive overhead,” and that because of the cost of a huge bureaucracy “very little of the money that’s actually needed by those that really need help, those that can’t care for themselves, actually reaches them.”
This claim, like much of what Mr. Romney says, was completely false: U.S. poverty programs have nothing like as much bureaucracy and overhead as, say, private health insurance companies. As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities has documented, between 90 percent and 99 percent of the dollars allocated to safety-net programs do, in fact, reach the beneficiaries. But the dishonesty of his initial claim aside, how could a candidate declare that safety-net programs do no good and declare only 10 days later that those programs take such good care of the poor that he feels no concern for their welfare?
Also, given this whopper about how safety-net programs actually work, how credible was Mr. Romney’s assertion, after expressing his lack of concern about the poor, that if the safety net needs a repair, “I’ll fix it”?
