OK, that might have been a slip of the tongue. Maybe. But I find it hysterically funny that she did it at the Republican National Convention, in front of the supporters of the "barefoot and pregnant" policies of the Republican Party.
Whether or not she back-peddled is unimportant.
I think that she believes (maybe subconsciously) that President Obama will prevail over Romney.
Personally, I think that there are a lot of Republicans, mostly women, who don't discuss their votes with anyone and will vote for the President because the Republican platform continues to promote a sexist and bigoted agenda that subjects women and their bodies to men's policies. To hell with what women want, the good old boys are in charge and determined to stay that way.
Just in case you missed the sound bite on the news, here it is again:

Ummm, Unclear on the Concept?
I was reading some comments on the Supreme Court decision regarding the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
Ummm, are some of these people really unclear or just ignorant? Leaving the US because of the healthcare act? Where are they going to go -- most developed countries have a universal health plan!!
I'm afraid I laughed myself silly.
As for Mitt and his blathering about repealing the healthcare act -- DUDE, it's based on YOUR plan that YOU implemented! Can we say hypocrite at best? (I'm actually leaning toward liar, but I'm trying hard to be polite. Lord knows why.)
The "tax" that people are ranting about? Ummm, what, you usually get a refund, right? So you'll get a slightly smaller refund if you don't have health insurance. If you're truly poor, you qualify for Medi-Cal or Medicaid so all you have to do is apply.
If you don't like the provisions in the healthcare act, I want to remind you that this is NOT the original plan presented to Congress. This is a compromise with provisions put into it by the Republicans, who are now howling about their own words, claiming that our President put stuff that in. Dude, no he didn't. You dang politicians hung every pork barrel and line of BS onto the plan, knowing that we, the people, needed a healthcare plan, so you took advantage of the situation. Don't whine too much, some of us are way smarter than you think we are and we know whose fault it is!
If you ask me, 90% of the politicians at every level of government should be voted out after a decade of service. In the meantime, their wages should be cut, their benefits reduced to that of their constituents, and so on.
So anyway, the next time you hear Rush or one of his cronies ranting on the radio, remember that they have a vested interest in keeping you riled up with their lies. If you want the true facts, take it to the source! Read the act, read the Supreme Court decision, read the HealthCare.gov website.
And please, don't tell me you're moving to Canada because of the healthcare act. I may have trouble restraining my laughter.

Why I Don't Vote Republican
Taking just the briefest, shallowest look at the Presidential candidates:
Cain - sexual harassment accusations
Gingrich - hypocrite who raised Cain about Clinton cheating on his wife -- while he was busily cheating on his wife with his next wife...
Ron Paul - anti-women's rights and don't forget his racist newsletter
Romney - Mormon (some people will never get past that), anti-union, wants to raise age limit for Medicare, wants to increase the military by at least 100,000 troops
Santorum - against birth control, tried to tack Intelligent Design onto the No Child Left Behind (like that hasn't been a big enough disaster)
Trump - birther
What? These are the Republican candidates? (Yes, I know that some are out of the race already.) Are you KIDDING me? Out of the entire Republican party, this is the best they can do?
I just shake my head. Not a credible candidate in the running.
As a woman, I couldn't vote for a candidate who was against birth control (unless the other choice was Hitler), I couldn't vote for a racist, I couldn't vote for a birther, I couldn't vote for a hypocrite.
Hmmm, guess that took care of the Repubs...

Who're You Going To Vote For??
Do you know who you're going to vote for?
I know who I'm going to vote for.
Interestingly, the results this website gave me the same answer that I'd already come to...
http://www.votechooser.com/
If you haven't decided who to vote for, maybe it'll help you out.
If you've already decided, it may (or may not) confirm your decision.
Have fun!
