Rape pregnancy, result of what "God intended"

[keystonejenks]

Honestly, at this point what else does the GOP have to do to get women NOT to vote for them. The scary thing is there is a HUGE portion of the population that isn't voting based on accomplishments, they're voting on hate.

Ladies and gents, I present Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock:

“I know there are some who disagree and I respect their point of view. But I believe that life begins at conception. The only exception I have, to have an abortion, is in that case of the life of the mother.

I’ve struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is a gift from God. And even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that is something that God intended to happen.”

There are some decent local GOP candidates, but I didn't vote for them on principle. The GOP has been taken over by reactionary twits and don't deserve any support at any level. Consider it a boycott on my part.

Last election I voted for a GOP candidate because he did some good things. However, his platform this last time around was hijacked by the extremist. He voted for defunding education, Affordable Healthcare Act, and stimulus spending.

He once picked his battles but not anymore so needless to say he won't be getting my vote this time around.

They're elected.

That's what should scare you.

Indeed. The fact that these psychos can manage to get elected truly makes me wonder about the voting public. There's a (only partly) tongue-in-cheek book out recently espousing a split of the US into two or more countries. I'm inclined to agree. Let these assholes have their own domain, and get them away form me and mine.

Oh, yeh...they'd be preparing to invade their neighbors before the ink was dry on the secessionist agreements.... lol

Sadly, I think you're probably rihgt, KK.

Ah, heck, I think we should just invade Canada. They have oil, plus they have a bunch of pesky French Canadians who need to be liberated. Or maybe the rest of the country needs to be liberated from them. Never mind which. We can figure it out after they all greet us with flowers and cold beer.

Already been done (by Hollywood). Who remembers the movie "Canadian Bacon", with Alan Alda? ;D
