[Hoot Gibson]

This controversy is not about contraception - it is about a tyrannical power grab and an assault on the First Amendment. A good part of the blame belongs to Republican non-leaders in Congress. There is no balance of power with McConnel and Boehner running the Republlican show. Watching Obama trample on the Constitution repeatedly and the Republican Party's weak response is like watching a team with a touchdown lead after a quarter go into a prevent defense for the rest of the game. They have done nothing but try to avoid making big mistakes, counting on Obama to turn the balll over without even absorbing a hard hit.

Now these same rudderless leaders tell us that we need to nominate the most liberal Republican in the race to have a shot at stopping Obama from running up the score and celebrate by throwing confetti that was our Constitution. It's not halftime, it's midway through the fourth quarter.
