But then his rapist would have to be tried and would be convicted and end up with a sexual offender tag forever. I wouldn't want anyone to go through that because of Akin. Heck, I wouldn't want to wish Akin, in any sexual manner, on anyone, not even his wife.

yes, legitimately. so he wouldn't get pregnant.

BigV · 08-21-2012, 02:19 PM

I think he'll stay in the race. Then, there will be a court battle to remove him which will be successful. Then, the replacement GOP candidate will lose in the general election in November.

So the Republicans arent really assured of the conservative women's vote yet? I dont know about that. Any woman would be insane to vote for this guy, but Im pretty sure that prolifers wont change their minds about him.

I was listening to NPR this morning, and they interviewed a handful of this guy's constituents. Two of them were women who were fully supportive of him and thought he was a victim of gotcha politics.

Even a blind hog finds an acorn now and then.

I mean, he is a pig and those two women are nuts.

I gotta start writing my manifesto, I suppose.

BigV · 08-21-2012, 03:06 PM

I heard that story and those women too. This really is "gotcha politics". GOTCHA! But for fucking fuck's sake people, even taking away his "I used one wrong word, one time", he doesn't have a public position that reflects reality. For me, that's enough to disqualify him. As others have opined, the truth matters, for some, and for others, the truth does not matter. I have seen or heard nothing about this issue that has contradicted my original assessment that his only "misspoke" was to actually say, out loud, what he believes.

infinite monkey · 08-21-2012, 03:15 PM

If there weren't nothin' to be gotted then no one would have to have got him, get it?

Poor baby boohooo, gettin' all picked on and stuff. His mama should've aborted.

Pico and ME · 08-21-2012, 04:46 PM

Yeah, but I totally understand the sentiment. He's got no effin empathy for rape victims and women in general, because he doesn't ever have to worry about sharing their experiences.

Pico and ME · 08-21-2012, 04:53 PM

Ya know, I think this is all just a run up to the 'Personhood Amendment'. Im really really glad that I am no longer in my childbearing years. My rights as a person would be akin to those of a slave.

infinite monkey · 08-21-2012, 06:36 PM

Good lord. Really? How stupid are we supposed to be? If any of this is damage control then they are completely misunderstanding the damage. "I'm so naive I didn't know such stuff actually happened."

See right through it.

monster · 08-21-2012, 08:47 PM

OK now that King guy IS stupid.

BigV · 08-21-2012, 10:33 PM

It gets better, people. And by better, I mean more insanely creative, the lengths to which the GOP talking heads are rationalizing and justifying and diluting and distracting everyone who has seen the emperor's shiny buttocks.

I give you Mike Huckabee.

According to Mike Huckabee, horrible rapes have created some extraordinary people.

Quote:

“Ethel Waters, for example, was the result of a forcible rape,” Huckabee said of the late American gospel singer. One-time presidential candidate Huckabee added: “I used to work for James Robison back in the 1970s, he leads a large Christian organization. He, himself, was the result of a forcible rape. And so I know it happens, and yet even from those horrible, horrible tragedies of rape, which are inexcusable and indefensible, life has come and sometimes, you know, those people are able to do extraordinary things.”

There's more, but really? What is the point? Akin's shown his colors, and people agree with his views about the whole deal, or not. No one's being persuaded. But there are a lot of people who now see clearly what was previously just beneath the surface.

monster · 08-21-2012, 10:45 PM

*sidetracking...... maybe.....*

so wait..... we shouldn't kill rape-babies because they might become good people, but it's ok to kill convicts because the chances are they probably did it and a few deaths of innocents is an OK price?

monster · 08-21-2012, 10:51 PM

um, and this is all posturing BS too ....

To publicly urge a same-party candidate to resign, is all about the one doing the urging and not about the fuck-upper.
