About half-way through last night's debate, moderator John King presented a question for the four candidates sent in from a viewer: "Since birth control is the latest hot topic, which candidate believes in birth control, and if not, why?"

The question was not well received by the audience, which booed for quite a while. Opinions vary as to why, exactly, attendees responded so negatively, though I suspect it was because the audience saw this as an unnecessary area of discussion.

King, noticing the prevailing winds, immediately told the Republican presidential field, "Look, we're not going to spend a ton of time on this." The candidates had other ideas.

You could almost hear the smiles coming from Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago. In the 21st century, four far-right white wealthy guys, all of whom think they should be president, spent 15 minutes in a nationally-televised debate talking about access to birth control.

The GOP candidates might as well have put a banner over their heads reading, "Independents, please don't consider voting for us."

These debates have been horrible. What kind of people would pay money to listen to that debate? All I can say is, "keep digging boys".

Hey, it's not just white men who should be scrutinized...or scrutineered, as George W. put it once. Men and women both need to address the issue. And they need to do it like mature, responsible adults. They're role models for the kids, whether they like it or not.

So we should put women in charge of men's prostrate problems? That's kind of the same thing as those men discussing women's rights using contraception.

The only ONE who's opinion I might listen to would be Ron Paul because he was/is a licensed OB/GYN.......otherwise, keep yer yaps shut and your dicks in your pants......

You guys know as much about contraception as I know about jerking off......which in some of your cases may be alot more than you.....am I right Rick?
