Quote from Lucrum:
Why is it people who pay no income taxes get to vote on their tax funded entitlements?

Sorry, women pay no income taxes? That is most definitely news to me...

Regardless, if that's the case, it's not like it's a big deal. Introduce a special levy only paid by people of the female persuasion.

Secondly, not like what you describe doesn't already happen. You got congresspeople etc making decisions re the tax code. Surely, no innovation of mine can top that.
 
Quote from Ricter:

I gotta stick up for jem a bit. I have seen an internal video taken of a woman orgasming, and the cervical mouth goes into a series of contractions which cause it to dip into the semen pool. From an evolutionary perspective there's a fairly obvious hypothesis.

That's all well and good, but completely irrelevant. When the guy said "Legitimate Rape" everything else he said afterward is lost. Medical science be damned. There is absolutely no way to parse the words and come out looking good from a republican perspective. This guy needs to be thrown under the bus in a big way, right now today. He needs to be savaged in the conservative media and gone as of today. Maybe they can then get back on message by weeks end. Christ, even Hannity and Rove know this is a disaster in the making. This one screw up may well cost Romney the election. You know during the deabte he will be asked to define the difference between legit and illegit rape. There's no way he comes out clean from that. It is his Willie Horton to deal with.

He is already done, Mitt already attacked him, and so did all the republicans, apparently even Hannity was taking shots at him last night.....They fuly understand the stupidity of this guy, but i agree this is probably the last hope Romney may have had down the shitter....




Turns out they arent all "this stupid" Todd Akin just got jettisoned quicker than Jeremiah Wright.......

Politics is a funny game, it is very rare in most jobs that a person can pin point the specific moment in their life down to a 30 second window that cost them their career......

The guy was basically given a 1 foot putt to knock off McCaskill in Missouri, and then he turned around and shot himself in the dick with a bazooka..... :D


RNC CHAIR TO AKIN: ‘STEP ASIDE’`

This evening on CNN’s “Out Front,” Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus called for Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin (R-MO) to step aside. Here’s what Priebus said:

But if it was me and I had an opportunity to let someone else run to actually give ourselves a better chance of winning, I would step aside. And so, listen, what he said, Erin, was biologically stupid. It's something that nobody on either side of the aisle agrees with. It's a bizarre statement and it's something that I think he needs to seriously think about. And like I said, if it was me, I would step aside and let someone else run for that office.

Priebus actually went further than that – he said that Akin shouldn’t show up for the Republican National Convention:

I would prefer that Todd Akin do the right thing for our party and our candidates and I would prefer him not come.

The writing is on the wall for Akin. And it should be. His comments were inexcusable, and gave liberals an opportunity to pillory other Republicans with his foolishness, as unwarranted as such a tactic would be.

And yet there's this. How bad must McCaskill suck to still be trailing?

A poll conducted and released on Monday found that U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, who's under fire for his comments about "legitimate rape," still has an edge over Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill in Missouri's Senate race.
Public Policy Polling, a North Carolina-based Democratic polling firm, has Akin leading McCaskill by one point, 44 percent to 43 percent. That's not much different from PPP's last poll of the race, which also found Akin ahead by one point, 45 percent to 44 percent.
But Akin's sustained lead doesn't mean Missouri voters agree with what the Republican candidate said. The poll found that 75 percent say Akin's comments were inappropriate, and 79 percent say they disagree with them.
In releasing the results, PPP concluded that "GOP voters dislike McCaskill so much they're not going to vote for her no matter what their nominee does."

"This looks like it will be a closely contested race if Akin stays in," PPP President Dean Debnam said in a statement that came with the poll results.

Your fascination with mrbill is bordering on downright strange, to put it rather mildly...

Maybe you, sir, in your infinite wisdom, can enlighten me, the foreign ignert, on what terrible error I have committed this time? Enquiring minds want to know...
 
Quote from jem:



but I also know that what akin said is likely correct.

and I just can not see scared raped women conceiving very often.

i have asked for stats... no one has provided any.

jem on the wrong side of the facts as usual:


Is a given instance of rape more likely to result in pregnancy than a given instance of consensual sex? This paper undertakes a review and critique of the literature on rape-pregnancy. Next, it presents our own estimation, from U.S. government data, of pregnancy rates for reproductive age victims of penile-vaginal rape. Using data on birth control usage from the Statistical Abstract of the United States, we then form an estimate of rapepregnancy rates adjusted for the substantial number of women in our sample who would likely have been protected by oral contraception or an IUD. Our analysis suggests that per-incident rape-pregnancy rates exceed per-incident consensual pregnancy rates by a sizable margin, even before adjusting for the use of relevant forms of birth control. Possible explanations for this phenomenon are discussed, as are its implications to ongoing debates over the ultimate causes of rape.

SOME women do not, but then some men don't either.
But then I didn't say no women pay income taxes. I asked why people not paying income taxes should get to decide how much I pay and where it's spent.

In response to your suggestion that women be allowed to decide "female issues".

Quote from Martinghoul:

I have a novel solution... Screw the states.

Given that all this concerns women, first and foremost, especially in cases of rape, why not let women vote on this issue. Period. Why is it that a bunch of old dudes get to cast a deciding vote, rather than the people who are the ones most directly involved and are the victims in the most egregious cases?
