Why does it have to be a woman's body?

Also, anything that is considered consensual sex in one state and rape a few miles away is a "lesser" form of rape.

I'd like to say my views are similar to Todd Akins, however I believe that if a man is raped (legitimately) his body will shut down to prevent pregnancy.

"rape is rape just because she's passed out doesn't mean it's more acceptable"

Two of the types of rape listed there are rape by coercion and statutory rape. Why don't you go Google rape by coercion, because holy shit have I been raped before (but it's ok, she was hot).

Nothing could be a more intellectually dishonest characterization than equating that entire list to cases where the woman is passed out. Do you think that someone threatening to leave their partner unless they have sex is rape? Because that's in the grab-bag of dumb ass definitions of rape you were referring to. Since we have so many divorces and breakups over the lack of sex, you could maintain that we all hold an implicit threat to break up with our partner if the sex dries up. So really, every single one of us are rapists if you're willing to take this "rape is rape" stance.

i would say both groups are equally flustered about the prospect of the other winning.

until we get out of these "my team vs. your team" doldrums, we're going to continue to have shit candidates on both sides.

Mitt Romney: "Nominate me because nobody else has a shot at beating Obama."

That's what he ran on to get nominated... I don't know a single fucking person who actually likes Mitt as the candidate... Everyone I know who has said they will vote for him will do so because he's a Republican. There is no other reason.

I just LOVE people that slam people who are making a point for using BING........ whatever! I just hope that all of you that vote for Obama enjoy social medicine and bankrupting the country in the name of "Better healthcare" - having insurance for all in our country is simply NOT the issue and that is all Obmam wants to run on - I reformed health care - it is better for you now???? or will it be in 2014???? Just wait........ you think the econmy, the deficit and all are bad now........ let's have some more social programs to fix it all. So chuckle over the BING search and open your wallet to pay maore and more taxes for your social programs, birth control, etc., etc., etc., - Where does it END??? It doesn't if that clown gets back in.

8/22/2012 7:42:41 PM

Seriously, you conservatives suck ass. All you want to do is bring us back to 1910 to where companies can do whatever the fuck they want. Next time you see the CEO of the company you work for, go suck his dick and then explain to me why you want the rest of the US to do the same.

"publicly financing health could increase overall employment. Canada’s provinces phased in national health insurance from 1961 to 1975. Employment and wages rose where the program was introduced, even though average working hours were unchanged. Provinces with high levels of private insurance coverage, on the other hand, had lower employment rates and slower wage growth. More recently, Canada beat the US in a bid for a new Toyota plant, in part because private health-insurance costs in the US add several thousand dollars to the cost of manufacturing a car there."

You bumbling idiot! Stop touting Obamacare as a progressive program. It is not. Obama said he wanted to reform health care, the Republicans said no, so he asked them what he could pass, the Republicans gave him a stinking pile of some of the worst-written legislation we've ever seen in our history, and then he got it passed.

Let me return here:

Quote :

"47 million w/o Healthcare"

No, without insurance. I would love for everyone to have affordable access to health care. Your fucking "progressive" program gets these people insurance, not access to affordable health care. Do you see a difference? Have you ever questioned the difference? People die from preventable disease while covered by insurance. Obamacare was a gift to the insurance companies.

other than foreign policy measures and the cutting of funding to NASA, i cannot think of anything he's succeeded at in 4 years.

in 3.5 years, he's outspent what the frivolous spending Bush II did in 8.

my main hang up with him is fiscal irresponsibility, and that's why i won't vote for him. i assume you work and make your own money --- what would happen if you outspent your budget every month and then chose to take on more debt (healthcare, increased entitlement spending,etc)?

Bush inherited 5.7 trillion in debt and turned it into a 10.6 triillion debt.

you can check politifact or factcheck.org on those numbers.

Reagan, Bush II and Obama have all been horrendous spenders. Reagan's the freakin' poster child for the GOP and when you convert his spending numbers into today figures and adjust for the rate of inflation, he spend nearly as much as Bush II in 8 years, and Obama in 3.5.

Obama's done a tremendous amount of damage to the economy thus far, and I would rather he not have the chance to do anymore. (he, admittedly, did not inherit a great situation, either... but I personally believe he has made things worse, when he had a chance to do make it better. Nixing the bailouts would've gone a long way with me, but instead he added to them, throwing good money after bad).

8/23/2012 4:46:23 PM

anyone who is even slightly informed politically, knows that Dick Morris hates Obama.
Rasmussen is a conservative who has Romney ahead, and his polls are more accurate historically than most others

it's only biased if you are unfair, like say, intentionally polling twice as many Democrats as Republicans and then reporting that Obama has a 10 point lead
