More needs to be brought forth about Ryan's position on "forcible" rape. Why should he as Akin to step down when he has voted the same way. He is dove tailing now because he doesn't want to be seen like Akin, but his voting record shows he is. He is being chameleon and not being true to what he has stood for in the past...playing the part of the good ol politician. He needs to be held accountable and answer some questions for americans: *If he believes abortion should be allowed after rape then why has he voted against it? *In his new healthcare plan would insurance companies have to cover some of the cost of birth control and more specifically the birth control pill? He may be catholic and oppose birth control pills, but I am not and use them for bc and pcos-so it is important to me. It is hard to understand the republican thinking; no birth control coverage, against abortion and then against social programs that would help women with children I guess it means they are male centered-viagra and cialis are covered. Ryan needs to held accountable so voters can be educated on what they are getting into.

Is the Republican rape of the USA consentual rape, forcible rape, or legitimate rape?

All terms included in the Ryan/Akin rape policy and legislation

Their own words are coming back to haunt them daily

“His statements were outrageous, over the pail. I don’t know anybody who
would agree with that. Rape is rape period, end of story,” Ryan told KDKA

Rape is Rape. And Barack Hussein Obama has been raping all taxpaying American citizens since he illegally stepped into the office of POTUS. Time to save America. Romney/Ryan in 2012. Your very life might just be at stake here.

Blah blah blah. Let's get down to basics, cause it's really rather simple.

If you are a woman, how would you feel if you were brutally raped? Stupid question isn't it. Now answer another one. How would you feel if you got pregnant from that rape, and you were forced to carry that rapist's offspring in your belly for the full 9 months and then give birth to it?

Let's ask another question. How would you feel if, as the result of any pregnancy, a medical problem arises and it turns out you will die if you carry the birth to term, you are nevertheless forced to die so that your unborn baby will live?

If neither of these scenarios is a problem for you, then vote Republican this November, because these 2 parts of their platform. It's what Todd Akin believes and Paul Ryan believes and Rick Santorum, and on and on. It's what most Republicans believe although sometimes they say otherwise. But remember, they wrote it into their platform. They believe it and what they will bring about if you elect them to office.

The choice is yours.

Ryan has balls the size of church bells to criticize Akin for voicing the exact position he took on their joint proposal to eliminate any exceptions for rape (unless it is "forcible" rape - Akin said "legitimate" rape which, in his small mind, was the same darned thing). The fact of the matter is that there is no difference between the two of them, and this stance is the Republican mainstream, not the lunatic fringe. Case in point - the plank in the Republican platform calling for the abolition of abortion in all cases with no exceptions whatsoever. As Joe Scaroboro said, the GOP has become the party of stupid. You can't fix stupid.

Willards little turd Ryan put the no tax payer funding for abortion act, or commonly known as the let women die act together with Todd Akin. The little turd actually believes this stupid bull, and he and Willard the twit Romney agree. Republicans support voter suppression, the war on women, wanting a war with Iran, tax breaks for the rich, giving subsidies to big oil while cutting funds for clean energy, contaminating the Columbia river gorge with coal silica, stop food stamps for the poor, privatize Social Security and Medicare so Willard the twit Romney can make a profit off from them for his tax free Swiss accounts. Are useful Republican idiots really going to vote the country right back into the that dick, Cheney, "Lil" gw bush-League, Enron, BP, Black Water, kill masses for profit, days?

San Diego Union Tribune, Page 2:

"Akin Refuse To Quit Race"

Party leaders remained just as resolute in their demands for Akin to leave the race

NYT News Service

Story RIGHT next to this one on Page 2:

"GOP platform takes tough abortion stand"

Republicans who are drafting the party's platform approved stong anti-abortion language Tuesday that makes no exceptions to allow abortion in cases of rape or incest victims...

MCT News Service

So, Republicans, which is it? You can't have your argument both ways. One is lying at the exspense of the other. I think Akin was a test of the waters that went bad for the Republican Party. So, they threw him under the bus for another direction on this issue. They haven't change their opinion or platform. Women are just objects who can't be trusted according to Republicans.

Ryan is lying when he says he doesn't support rape. It's in writing.

Ryan is a low-level hack who's in way over his head at the national level, just like Palin.

He's also one-and-done, just like Palin.

Now with the Todd Akin RAPE "doctrine" and the Todd Akin and Paul Ryan connection redefining rape in the FORCIBLE RAPE BILL with 225 House Republican co-sponsors and also the PERSONHOOD BILL can not be dismissed by Romney as just another flip flop!! The Romney Ryan ticket is sinking like the Titanic even before the Republican Convention where they are supposed to be NOMINATED next week!! Vote straight Democratic ticket on November and throw the freshman class of 2010 House Republicans out!

The fact that Romney/Ryan purposely distort Obama's $716B cut to medicare shows me just how dishonest they are. Especially since the cut is being spent on medical care, it doesn't reduce benefits to seniors. Compare that to Ryan's proposal that cuts the same amount and the money is used to make up the difference created by tax breaks for the very rich. Why shouldn't the very rich be paying the same tax rate I am? Why should capital gains be taxed differently? Money is money. The interest on my savings, which the bank uses to invest, is taxed the same as my income. That money is still being invested.

"The $716 billion in cuts do not affect benefits for today's seniors. Instead, they reduce provider reimbursements and are intended to curb waste, fraud and abuse." ----- And I'll bet you ten thousand dollars, Ryan / Romney did NOT mention that little bit of information to the crowd.....

“When Paul Ryan says his priority is to make sure that we’re, you know – that he’s just being America’s accountant and trying to be responsible… I mean this is the same guy who voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that costs as much as my health care bill – but wasn’t paid for,” Obama said on April 15, 2011.

In 2008, Ryan released his "Roadmap for America's Future," which described his sweeping vision for how to gut America's main entitlement programs of Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. The plan made him a hero among conservative circles, and Ryan eventually remade it as his "Path to Prosperity" plan, which President Barack Obama and Democrats have criticized for embracing tax cuts for the very rich while slashing government programs that help the poor. (It wasn't just Democrats who criticized Ryan. While running for president, Newt Gingrich called Ryan's plan "right wing social engineering," which probably helped kill Gingrich's bid.)

President Obama actually helped raise Ryan's profile on the right by critiquing the Congressman's budget, and just last year, Ryan was reportedly mulling his own run for president.

Critics have called Ryan’s 2011 proposal the “end of Medicare as we know it,” and that’s true. Until now, Medicare has operated as a “fee-for-service” system; under Ryan’s plan, it would operate more like a voucher system, although Ryan and his aides have resisted this term. Medicare would cease to pay for health services directly, instead operating as a board that approves a menu of health plans for public sale and doles out predetermined lumps of money to people enrolled in Medicare, to help them buy those plans.

After its release, the president called Ryan’s plan “fairly radical” and posited that it would “change our social compact in a pretty fundamental way,” ABC’s David Kerley reported.

“I guess you could call that bold. I would call it short-sighted,” Obama told 500 Facebook employees and 200 other attendees at a town-hall meeting held at Facebook headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., in April 2011. “Nothing is easier than solving a problem on the backs of people who are poor or people who are powerless or don’t have lobbyists or don’t have clout.”

The fact that Romney/Ryan purposely distort Obama's $716B cut to medicare shows me just how dishonest they are. Especially since the cut is being spent on medical care, it doesn't reduce benefits to seniors. Compare that to Ryan's proposal that cuts the same amount and the money is used to make up the difference created by tax breaks for the very rich.

Note: The author, John F. Ince of the following article is a former classmate of Mitt Romney at Harvard Business School and former reporter at Fortune Magazine. He is the author of Mitt Romney: King of Bain and the Man Who Wants To Be President.

There are at least 12 reasons why Mitt Romney would not make a good president. Here's John F. Ince's list. What's yours?

1 • Romney neither understands nor represents most Americans. The man lacks empathy for those who have not had all the benefits he has had in life. His presidency would be deeply polarizing. One can easily image his election as president would generate new waves of social unrest and violence. He clearly represents the 1% and the 99% will not tolerate policies that exacerbate the growing divisions between rich and poor.

2 • Romney's job creation claims are inflated and unrealistic. Mitt Romney's professional career was based on a very specific task: buying and selling companies for profit. He wants people to think that this qualifies him to be a job creator. With the exception of his investment in Staples and a few other early venture capital deals, his jobs creation claims are mostly chimera. He takes credit for creating jobs, when he was only an investor in those companies, not an executive. In practice, he predominantly used his power as an investor to eliminate jobs and shift other jobs overseas, all in the interest of making profits.

3 • Romney does not have a sound fiscal plan. Extrapolating from the projections Romney has offered for increased defense spending and tax cuts, his policies would blow a hole in the Federal budget, further eroding investors faith in the government's ability to get its fiscal house in order.

4 • Romney has little respect for the natural environment, nor a commitment to protect and preserve it for future generations.

5 • Romney has lived a cloistered and privileged life and today has a very narrow view of the world.

6 • Romney's worldview is rooted in intolerance.

7 • Romney does not fully understand the transformative power of technological change.

8 • Romney is temperamentally unfit for the presidency.

9 • Romney lacks direct foreign policy experience.

10 • Romney lacks integrity and honesty.

11 • Romney has no commitment to women or equal rights. There is little in his public statements or record to suggest he feels any responsibility for advancing the interests of women and minorities.

12 • Romney lacks sufficient charisma and personality to be a strong leader.

Note: The author, John F. Ince of this article is a former classmate of Mitt Romney at Harvard Business School and former reporter at Fortune Magazine. He is the author of Mitt Romney: King of Bain and the Man Who Wants To Be President.

Now with the Todd Akin RAPE "doctrine" and the Todd Akin and Paul Ryan connection redefining rape in the FORCIBLE RAPE BILL with 225 Republican co-sponsors and PERSONHOOD BILL can not be dismissed by Romney as just another flip flop!! The Romney Ryan ticket is sinking like the Titanic even before the Republican Convention where they are supposed to be NOMINATED next week!! Vote straight Democratic ticket on November 6th and throw the freshman class of 2010 House Republicans out!

There are at least 12 reasons why Mitt Romney would not make a good president. Here's John F. Ince's list. What's yours?

1 • Romney neither understands nor represents most Americans. The man lacks empathy for those who have not had all the benefits he has had in life. His presidency would be deeply polarizing.

3 • Romney does not have a sound fiscal plan. Extrapolating from the projections Romney has offered for increased defense spending and tax cuts, his policies would blow a hole in the Federal budget, further eroding investors faith in the government's ability to get its fiscal house in order.

4 • Romney has little respect for the natural environment, nor a commitment to protect and preserve it for future generations. He blindly subscribes to Republican views that climate change is not scientifically proven. He gives no indication of any desire to develop alternative sources of energy that can mitigate the man made sources of pollutants. Instead he supports the rollback of environmental regulations all but giving companies a green light to pollute the environment and waste vital natural resources.

5 • Romney has lived a cloistered and privileged life and today has a very narrow view of the world. From the Cranbrook School to Brigham Young University, to Harvard Business School to Bain Capital, it's difficult to imagine anyone who has been less exposed to the lives and conditions under which most Americans live. The covenants of his Mormon faith are extremely rigid, restrictive and unrealistic. His devotion to his faith is admirable, but his inability to step beyond the confines of that religion suggest that he would have difficulty reconciling who he is with who others are in an increasingly diverse world.

6 • Romney's worldview is rooted in intolerance. He has a very narrow view of the world. America today is a diverse nation with many different racial groups, faiths, all in need of respect. The bully incident at his prep school and his aggressive corporate behavior buying and selling companies at Bain Capital suggest someone who has little desire help those who are different, less fortunate and in weaker position than him.

7 • Romney does not fully understand the transformative power of technological change. Mitt has no professional technical training. Most of the companies he invested in at Bain were low tech. His expertise is finance: specifically buying and selling companies. All this suggests someone who will pay lip service to the tech sector, but won't fully grasp the potential for transforming the economy and culture through advancing technology.

8 • Romney is temperamentally unfit for the presidency. He is peevish, controlling and less than transparent. He has a rigid worldview that revolves around what is best for himself and a small circle of those who support him.

9 • Romney lacks direct foreign policy experience. His four years as Governor of Massachusetts do not give him sufficient knowledge or expertise to effectively deal with an increasingly complex world. On the job learners nearly always make blunders, sometimes blunders so large that they create huge problems for the U. S..

10 • Romney lacks integrity and honesty. His fudging of issues is a sign that he feels he can head fake his way though difficult debates. His statement that he does not remember the prep school bully incident is implausible. His evasiveness over release of tax forms and embellishment of his accomplishments are all red flags. His decisions as an executive at Bain Capital were not rooted in ethical behavior. The man is simply not forthright enough to earn the trust of the American people.

11 • Romney has no commitment to women or equal rights. There is little in his public statements or record to suggest he feels any responsibility for advancing the interests of women and minorities.

12 • Romney lacks sufficient charisma and personality to be a strong leader. The country needs someone to lead forcefully and inspire citizens to tackle problems that threaten the diminishment of American stature on the world stage. Romney's robotic and reptilian personality fails to connect, leaving people feeling that Romney is in the game only for himself, rather than in it for the good of all.

Here are the top 10 comments about Bain from Romney’s Republican rivals:

1. “The idea that you’ve got private equity companies that come in and take companies apart so they can make profits and have people lose their jobs, that’s not what the Republican Party’s about.” — Rick Perry [New York Times, 1/12/12]

2. “The Bain model is to go in at a very low price, borrow an immense amount of money, pay Bain an immense amount of money and leave. I’ll let you decide if that’s really good capitalism. I think that’s exploitation.” — Newt Gingrich [New York Times, 1/17/12]

3. “Instead of trying to work with them to try to find a way to keep the jobs and to get them back on their feet, it’s all about how much money can we make, how quick can we make it, and then get out of town and find the next carcass to feed upon” — Rick Perry [National Journal, 1/10/12]

4. “We find it pretty hard to justify rich people figuring out clever legal ways to loot a company, leaving behind 1,700 families without a job.” — Newt Gingrich [Globe and Mail, 1/9/12]

5. “Now, I have no doubt Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips — whether he was going to have enough of them to hand out because his company, Bain Capital, of all the jobs that they killed” — Rick Perry [New York Times, 1/9/12]

6) “He claims he created 100,000 jobs. The Washington Post, two days ago, reported in their fact check column that he gets three Pinocchios. Now, a Pinocchio is what you get from The Post if you’re not telling the truth.” — Newt Gingrich [1/13/12, NBC News]

7. “There is something inherently wrong when getting rich off failure and sticking it to someone else is how you do your business, and I happen to think that’s indefensible” — Rick Perry [National Journal, 1/10/12]

8. “If Governor Romney would like to give back all the money he’s earned from bankrupting companies and laying off employees over his years, then I would be glad to then listen to him” — Newt Gingrich [Mediaite, 12/14/11]

9. “If you’re a victim of Bain Capital’s downsizing, it’s the ultimate insult for Mitt Romney to come to South Carolina and tell you he feels your pain, because he caused it.” — Rick Perry [New York Times, 1/8/12]

10. “They’re vultures that sitting out there on the tree limb waiting for the company to get sick and then they swoop in, they eat the carcass. They leave with that and they leave the skeleton” — Rick Perry [National Journal, 1/10/12]

Just last night, Newt Gingrich defended his attacks, saying “I think there are things you can legitimately look at in Bain Capital. I think there are things you can legitimately look at in anybody’s record, including Mitt Romney’s record.”

I would like to know why Republicans are in such denial when it comes to science. Women's Biology? Global Warming? Evolution?

How long can these lies last? How ignorant and uninformed do you have to be to follow such a platform? Amazing how a non-scientist can lead a party into not believing in truth. Facts rule outside Republican circles.

ROMNEY ON TRACK TO LOSE ELECTION

Romney’s financial manipulations have, in the last 48 hours, exploded from mysterious shouldering embers into a political bonfire that could consume his entire campaign.

Romney is calling President Obama a liar and Obama is continuing his call for Romney to release full information about his financial manipulations and more than one year of tax returns.

Articles in the Washington Post and Boston Globe have probed and continue to probe into Romney’s convoluted finances and his years as CEO and owner of Bain Capital. Romney has called for retraction of these widely quoted articles without success.
For a Rachel Maddow interview with the Boston Globe writer who probed Romney’s SEC reports click here: com/the-rachel-maddow-... .
For a broader discussion of Romney’s financial manipulations on Morning Joe click here: com/morning-joe/481735... .
Either Mitt Romney was "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president" of Bain Capital from 1999-2002, when all sorts of ugly outsourcing and vulture fund activities were taking place, or he was just listed as "sole stockholder, chairman of the board, chief executive officer, and president" on the company's documents, which means he was simply a figurehead collecting cash generated by said ugly outsourcing and vulture fund activities.

There appears to be more than ample multiple evidence that Romney is not telling the truth about completely leaving Bain after 1999. If you want to read all the details:

And these articles on Romney/Bain only scratch the surface. After the Boston Globe article on Thursday the Internet lit up like a Christmas tree as everyone with access seemed to have something to report.

Of course the Obama campaign wasted no time getting out TV ads on the subject. One of the most recent has Romney singing “God Bless America” while the graphics pound him for his financial manipulations. Click here:nytimes.com/2012/07/14... . Voters in the swing states are getting their first glimpse behind the mask of Romney’s polished campaign performance.

This all brings back Richard Nixon’s famous statement,“I am not a crook.”

The problem for Romney is that it is impossible for him to win an election campaign based on whether or not he is a potential criminal who has lied on legally required reports. Every day the media probes deeper into the Romney financial paper trail and reveals more and more conflicts between Romney’s personally signed reports and his recorded campaign statements is a day closer to his political defeat. If the present political bonfire doesn’t die down soon the GOP may decide at its late August convention to throw Romney under the bus.

Ed Schlick
WOLFEBORO, N.H.(AP)— President Barack Obama is keeping up a drumbeat of skepticism over Mitt Romney's insistence — displayed in a blitz of TV interviews — that he stepped down from his private equity firm years earlier than federal records indicate.

Obama planned another day of campaigning in Virginia on Saturday, a state he won in 2008 but before that last supported a Democratic presidential nominee in 1964. Advisers said he would remind voters of the discrepancies between Securities and Exchange Commission filings and Romney's recollection of his role at the Boston-based firm.

His re-election campaign released an ad that repeated its allegation that Romney's Bain Capital shipped American jobs to China and Mexico; that Romney has personal wealth in investments in Switzerland, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands; and that as governor of Massachusetts, he outsourced state jobs to India.

"Mitt Romney's not the solution. He's the problem," Obama's latest ad says as it plays video of Romney awkwardly singing "America the Beautiful."

The ad was set to run in the battleground states of Colorado, Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia.

The ad, targeting Romney's vast personal wealth, comes as Democrats — and some Republicans — call for Romney to release tax returns going back several years. Romney has said anew that he won't go beyond releasing his 2010 tax records and, before the election, his 2011 taxes.

"You can never satisfy the opposition research team of the Obama organization," Romney told CBS on Friday. In the same round of interviews in which he defended his account of his role at Bain, Romney said Obama owed him an apology for an aide's suggestion that the Security and Exchange Commission filings, if false, could bring a felony charge.

"This is simply beneath the dignity of the presidency of the United States," Romney told ABC.

It wasn't just Obama, though, pushing the presumptive Republican nominee to put the issue of his tax returns and wealth to rest.

"There is no whining in politics," chided John Weaver, a veteran Republican strategist. "Stop demanding an apology, release your tax returns."

"Given the precedent set by past seven Presidents and Presidential candidates of releasing multi-year tax returns why is Romney making an exception?" Because he has a lot to hide, apparently.

He's the only one that knows what's in there, and apparently he's made the judgement that he's better off having us suspect the worst, rather than us knowing whats in there, which apparently in his mind is worse than anything we're likely to imagine.

Possibilities include:

(1) He ended up with 120 million in his 401K by the trick of agreeing with Bain to grossly undervalue the market value of his stock, then a few years later have the stock get unvalued to the stratosphere.

(2) He participated in the tax avoidance amnesty program of a few years back, avoiding major tax penalties or prosecution.

(3) Any one or more of the other borderline legal but very bad smelling tax dodges-- "in-kind" trades, "no-risk" trades, no-risk write-offs, the list is almost endless.

And BTW he HASNT even released all of his 2010 return, he very conveniently left off the foreign investments and deposits form. Very convenient.

And his argument that it would be "bothersome" to collect the tax data is a crock too-- he supposedly collected 23 years of the stuff to show to McCain in 2008.

Ajay Jain===================================================================================

Republicans betrayed their own conscience when they went against established Republican principles like the MANDATE over healthcare which was a Heritage foundation issue popularized by Gingrich.

Obama did more than his share to UNITE but the Republicans were out to oppose for opposing sake and not following any policy or principles. In the famous words of Minority Senate Leader Mitch McConnell the Republicans were out to defeat the Obama agenda even if it went against established Republican policies set by past precedent.

Mitch McConnell was out to make sure that President Obama remains a one term President and see where it has brought the Congress and its public esteem.

Gingrich out of his own admission was out to defeat Obama from the day he was sworn in as President.

You can not justify the Republicans as the "loyal" opposition as is the case in most mature democracies. They have been out to get President Obama by hook or by crook. A leader can meet the opposition half way but can not fold completely to their whims and fantasies like that of the current Tea Party affiliates.

Republicans will loose in 2012 just like they did in 2008 but with a smaller margin because of the dark money of Billionaires due to Citizens United verdict of the right wing Supreme Court.

======================================================================================

" ... Mitt Romney senior adviser Ed Gillespie said Sunday on CNN’s "State of the Union" the GOP candidate “retroactively” retired from Bain Capital after the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics began. ... "

No body who has been drawing at LEAST $100,000.00 per year from 1999 to 2002 from Bain Capital “retroactively” retires from Bain Capital AFTER the 2002!!! Then why draw the salary of at LEAST $100,000.00 per year from 1999 to 2002 from Bain Capital if Romney retired from Bain “retroactively” !!!

" ... Gillespie continued, "He took a leave of absence and, in fact, Candy, he ended up not going back at all and retired retroactively to February of 1999 as a result." ... "

However SEC documents show Mitt Romney as sole owner of all shares of Bain Capital. Romney is also shown as CEO, President and Chairman of Board of Bain Capital in 2001 and 2002 then LEGALLY speaking Mitt Romney has been responsible to all that goes on under the banner of Bain Capital. Then to run for Governor of MA Romney sought residency of MA by lieu of his Bain positions. Now either Romney was at the Olympics OR he was at BAIN.

Only one can be true not BOTH at the same time simultaneously!!! Will the true Willard Mitt Romney stand up and accept ONE thing? Does Romney want to accept untrue SEC filings and be called a Felon or agree that he represented Bain from 1999 to 2002?

=========================================================================================

On Friday the 13th (7/13/2012) the very illusive Mitt Romney gave very defensive interviews to all FIVE networks on a single day at once!! Just a few days ago Mitt Romney said to FOX News that explaining means that you are WEAK. So his five interviews "explaining" his time at Bain were signs of his weakness!!

Presidential Candidate Mr. Mitt Romney maybe feeling the heat on his role in BAIN Capital, his business experience which was supposed to be his sole criteria for creating jobs and his greatest qualification for running for the American Presidency in the current economy in 2012!

However SEC documents show Mitt Romney as sole owner of all shares of Bain Capital. Romney is shown as CEO, President and Chairman of Board of Bain Capital in 2001 and 2002 then LEGALLY speaking Mitt Romney has been responsible to all that goes on under the banner of Bain Capital.

Mitt Romney can not just share the good like job creation from 1999 to 2002 and leave the ugly like Bankruptcies and layoffs behind as if he had nothing to do about them from 1999 to 2002.

If he really wanted to disassociate himself from Bain Capital he could have resigned and sold all his shares in Bain Capital in February 1999 then it would have been a different matter but to share in the glory of Bain's job creation accept a salary of $100,000 or MORE (where are the Tax Returns?) for three years and only to refuse to take the responsibility of Bankruptcies and layoffs on his WATCH (1999-2002) is trying to have it both ways and then complaining of playing politics having been caught with his hand in the proverbial Cookie Jar that is the very essence of an ACTIVE LEGAL ROLE in Bain Capital till 2002!! Was Romney getting $100,000.00 or more to do NOTHING for BAIN Capital???

Mitt Romney will have to face the consequences of this leaving Bain "lie" that Mitt Romney has brought on upon himself. If we keep reminding the Romney campaign of the Bain exit lie and Romney's ill effects on workers robbing them of their hard earned salaries and life long benefits all the way to November then 7/13/2012 (FRIDAY the 13th) will go down as the turning point of the 2012 Presidential election!

Yes Paul, my little poster boy, rape is rape, that's why you sponsored, together with Akin, a new definition of rape in order to...?

Are Republicans stupid, deaf, ignorant, hypocritical, liars, or all of the above, to believe that the flip-flopping of this Teabaggers are for our benefit?

Rhetorical question.

Looks to me that Akin and Ryan ran into Claytie Williams somewhere along the line.

Ryan is also against embryonic stem cell research.

How convenient. So "rape is rape", huh, Paul? Well, in my opinion, any government forcing a woman to bear the child of her rapist is rape all over again. Ryan is like every other Republican male - they HATE women. I'd love to know how Ryan can look at his little daughter and think it would be perfectly okay if some thug threw her to the ground and rammed himself into her and then got pregnant from that and how he would force her to carry that baby, having to re-live that rape every day.

This sh!t has ZERO to do with saving babies and everything to do with making womens' lives more traumatic and difficult because it serves THEIR agenda. And by the way, Fk! this "exceptions for rape and incest" crap. You either support choice or you don't. Period. End of Story.

The keynote speaker for the Democrat Party Convention is a man accused of Rape, convicted of sexual harassment, guilty of adultery, and was disbarred because of his abuse of women. This is the keynote speaker of the DNC...ya know the party that says they are for women!!

Who is it you ask...well if you have to....you shouldn't make comments on this vine.

We have a guy sitting in the white house who isn't even sure who fathered him. Now the research is showing it may have been davis who enjoyed playing sex games with any woman that would have him and he spent a lot of time with the guy sitting in the white house mama. What is the truth. Is that some of the information he has spent millions of dollars to seal away along with his social security info, selective service info, college info, law review info, real verifiable birth info? What is he paying millions to hide while all the time making a big issue over Romney's taxes.

There are so many things I want to argue at this point. First of all, that this all came about on the fact of if abortion should be allowed or not. Well, of course it should be allowed. A woman has the right to decide what is best for her and her child, especially when raped! Who in their sick mind would disagree with a woman wanting to abort a child conceived during rape. Secondly, I don't know who would want to justify if rape is "legit" or not. Rape is rape. I understand a females body will respond naturally to intercourse, but that doesn't mean she is willing; It means she is human. As for Todd Akin.. get him out of here! Democrat or Republican, no one that ignorant should be able to represent any part of America. Even if it was "word in the wrong place." People, especially those who are suppose to be deciding what is best for us should be thinking before speaking a lot better than this guy did.

Ryan wants to force women to bear their rapist's children. That alone should be enough to disqualify someone from receiving the vote of any reasonable person.

So there is a such thing as cooperative rape?

Right to lifers are more like right to birthers because support for that life from them ends at the delivery room. Once outside of the womb the child and mom are on their own. Thats mighty Christian of them. The God on the right says every man woman and child for themselves.

Jesus was a Republican capitalist I guess, and charged the sick for miracles rendered. He did have a tax collector as a disciple and wouldn't you know it one of his closest friends stabbed him in the back for money.

So where are all these women that agree to rape rather than be forced?

It's now a real horse race between the two teabagger repug candidates to see who can tell the most lies about why they are so suddenly distancing themselves from Akin's disastrous comments about legitimate rape. Rape is rape under any and all circumstances. The zombie eyed moron from Wisc sponsored and co-sponsored all kinds of bills that outlaws abortion under any circumstances and helped sponsor bills that would make a bunch of cells a person ( did they ever think how they would get these cells to attest that they are a person when applying for a Soc. Sec. card?). And Mittens took his sweet old time--more than 2 days- to state that he didn't agree with Akin's remarks, after all he said many many times that he supports a constitutional amendment that bans abortion under all circumstances. Now he's flipped and flopped and flubbed and flapped that he supports abortion in the case of incest or rape

This shows you how heartless and out of touch the tea holes and republicant's are to the real world problems. If Akin had a -D behind his name Fixed News would have been talking about it 24/7. To try to pass this off as a poor choice of words, as Akin has, is insulting and proves he has no business serving Missouri and or any other state for that matter. Tea holes and republican'ts are always sorry. They never have to drop out of races, but would expect a Democrat, if fact demand they, do it. You can't get any lower than these scumbags.
