The problem with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio

There are two problems with Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio which has made it possible for a candidate like Donald Trump to possible snag the Republican nomination. The Republican party is in an unenviable position; they hate the candidate who will be representing the Republican party and the don't much like the alternatives - Ted and Marco. So what's a voter to do?  Supporting the alternative candidates does not seem to be working so far. Why? Well I believe Ted and Marco are more of a problem than Trump and here is why.

1) Both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio spent the first critical moments of the campaign fighting Barack Obama instead of Trump. In all their debates and meetings they insulted and  derided not only the sitting president of the United States but America as well. If you don't know any better you would probably think that under Obama the USA has become a third world country. The problem with this is that Obama is not running for president - Trump is. So it would seem that, unless they believed Trump could make a great president, they would have concentrated their efforts on stopping him long ago.

2) The other problem is likeability. You hear it all the time - talk about how hated Cruz is by the establishment and the "Ted Cruz is Crazy" talk that has flooded the internet. You have seen how little confidence in his abilities, Marco Rubio instills in he Republican voting public.
So who to vote for; one of the two candidates who border on the "boring" at times or one who offends every class of people in the Unites States and the world, a billionaire, an entertainer, and one with reported questionable business practices.  You see the dilemma? I gues many Republicans are praying for a "savior" today.

A Blow to the Women's Movement - The Rush Limbaugh Tirade

Rush Limbaugh's "Slut" and "prostitute" comment is and attack on all women, one that  demeans and diminishes the women's right movement. 
The women's movement has taken a serious blow with Rush Limbaugh crazed triade against Sandra Fluke who he called a "slut" and a "prostitute" Why are women still being called names like slut, prostitute, bitch for wanting the same freedom that men already have; for wanting the same medical care and respect given to their male counterparts?

It would appear that some menjust don't get it; men who are products of a woman's sexuality; men who were bred as a result of the same sexuality activity women are decried for. Women are being critized today for using birth control or wanting the insurance company to pay for it. It is viewed by the conservative mainly Republican male as an encouragement for women to have lots of sex according to Rush Limbaugh.

Birth control does more than prevent unwanted pregnancies; birth control prevents a number of cancers and illnesses in women saving millions in health care costs. But as long as women continue to be seen as mere chattels, lesser species of animals or sex crazed "sluts" the women's movement can never move forward.
