Duke rape case unravels / The Christian Science Monitor - CSMonitor.com
Well, yeah, it was kind of silly to take the word of a woman who has sex for money at face value without any investigation....
But I think you guys really need to keep going with this "legitimate" rape line of reasoning.
The man made a cardinal mistake.
He spoke his ignorant mind thus embarrassed the BIG LIE that the GOP is attempting to foist off on the public.
First they withdrew his financing and he has caved to the parties demand that he step down. Seems the gop police's themselves fairly well. So now we won't see any more GOP rape threads right?
I won't be holding my breath for honesty from most of you.

I haven't yet watched the news, but hope he steps DOWN and fast!!! We ( conservatives ) are calling for the action.
We conservative patriots who fear for the nations future are asking this recently-chosen Republican candidate who has mortally wounded his own campaign to step aside for the good of the country.

Tell me gramps, how do Todd Akin's views differ from Paul Ryan's?
There is an old axiom: robins and bluejays don't nest together.
Two words that should never be used together in the same sentence: legitimate and rape. But thats the way Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) chose to speak about the sensitive topic that has impacted millions of women in the United States in an interview with a local television station Sunday.
In defending his extreme anti-choice position that a woman who is raped and becomes pregnant should not be permitted to have an abortion, Akin said, First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If its a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
Akin, who clearly didnt pay attention in biology class, is challenging Democratic incumbent Sen. Claire McCaskill. After the negative and swift public reaction to his remarks, Akin said in a statement that he misspoke, but that claim doesnt fly when you do a quick review of his legislative history, which is directly connected vice presidential pick Rep. Paul Ryan on this exact issue.
Akin and Ryan were the original co-sponsors of the controversial bill H.R. 3, No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, which initially included language which changed the definition of rape to forcible rape, until public pressure forced the bills supporters to remove that unacceptable and narrow definition. As I wrote previously, Paul Ryan is not just anti-choice, his anti-choice views are extreme and just plain bad for all women.
Linking Ryan to Akin and the idea that there is such a thing as legitimate rape based on pseudo-science and folklore is something that needs to be done before the upcoming election. While Team Romney attempted to create distance with Akin, saying that both Romney and Ryan disagree with his statements, there was nothing in their statement that said they condemn his remarks as hurtful to victims. There was also nothing in Team Romneys statement that pointed out that what Akin said about pregnancies resulting from rape being rare is just flat-out wrong.
Ryan was against abortion in all cases including rape until Team Romneys statement. Romney has said he would get rid of Planned Parenthood and has been moving further right on womens issues since he was a pro-choice governor of Massachusetts. This could be a huge problem for the Republican ticket in November.
NY Daily News - Todd Akin, Paul Ryan and the very real war on women
The man made a cardinal mistake.
He spoke his ignorant mind thus embarrassed the BIG LIE that the GOP is attempting to foist off on the public.
Which big lie would that be? Would that be the lie that all women support abortion? That only men oppose it?
Clearly not all of them.
How many people in the state of Massachusetts do you consider nutjobs that elected Ted Kennedy to the Senate 7 times, even though he was responsible for the death of his girl friend?
Let me guess. Clearly not all of them.
So he was convicted of negligent homicide, then?
Oh, wait. No, he wasn't.
At least Kennedy was drunk. The GOPer has no such excuse but a bred-in-the-bone stupidity.
But yeah, he will get votes. A lot of them.
the naked guy in the galilee was drunk, i bet. *shrug*
Sorry barb, but people yell rape when it didnt happen too.......I know of a case, do you?
So...let's question all rapes.
We do.
That's why there are trials.

I have an idea. Why don't we ban all of those that are practicing Catholics from public office? As I understand it, the Catholic Church opposes abortion and we need to make that a litmus test. Better yet, ban all candidates of any religion that don't support abortion on demand and means testing the payment for abortion by the gubmint.
Don't you atheist bastards agree?
We could elect all Muslims, since their goal is to convert all infidels or kill them.
The Catholic Church also opposes Paul Ryan's budget...
A faith-based lesson for Paul Ryan
There is something un-Christian about the Gospel According to Paul Ryan. So, at least, says Ryans Catholic Church.
In an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Networks David Brody this month, Ryan, the author of the House Republican budget endorsed by Mitt Romney, said his program was crafted using my Catholic faith as inspiration. But the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops was not about to bless that claim.
A week after Ryans boast, the bishops sent letters to Congress saying that the Ryan budget, passed by the House, fails to meet the moral criteria of the Church, namely its view that any budget should help the least of these as the Christian Bible requires: the poor, the hungry, the homeless, the jobless. A just spending bill cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor and vulnerable persons, the bishops wrote.
In fact, Ryan would cut spending on the least of these by about $5 trillion over 10 years from Medicaid, food stamps, welfare and the like and then turn around and award some $4 trillion in tax cuts to the most of these. To their credit, Catholic leaders were not about to let Ryan claim to be serving God when in fact he was serving mammon.
Your budget, a group of Jesuit scholars and other Georgetown University faculty members wrote to Ryan last week, appears to reflect the values of your favorite philosopher, Ayn Rand, rather than the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Her call to selfishness and her antagonism toward religion are antithetical to the Gospel values of compassion and love.

Herein lies your problem...Akin and Ryan hold the exact same views. So I expect you 'conservative patriots who fear for the nations future' will ask Paul Ryan to step aside.

A majority of women support the right to choose. Even some who are against abortion personally.

lol.. .he wasn't forced out because the right loves women. he was forced out because his position was so sick that they couldn't spin it.
maybe you should be honest about that, gramps.
A little slow here? Akin is still in. And, get this, he is still polling ahead of McCaskill.
Maybe now we're getting "gotcha" politics and sound bite moments behind us to focus on the big picture.
When that happens the Dems are sunk. Actually they're sunk anyway.
But at least Akin didnt do something monumentally immoral and gross like send pics of his junk....

A majority of men support it also, in highly regulated circumstances, what's your point?

i'm not slow. i responded to gramps before i read the news. no biggie. but if it makes you feel better.
and if pot shots at anthony weiner... whose photos were sent consentually, btw... but if it makes your day, have at it.
as for your judgment as to who is sunk ... well, at this point, it's about wishful thinking on your part. but whatever.

Just heard he has until 5pm today to step down but that he's also started running a new TV ad apologizing.
This so pisses me off. Thought this was a done deal when I went to bed last night and now we've got this chump acting like a liberal with all his double talk and refusal to recognize the fact that HE'S DONE!!!

as for your judgment as to who is sunk ... well, at this point, it's about wishful thinking on your part.
btw... you do understand that warped views about women and rape are what is immoral. sending someone pics of oneself consentually is pretty much their business....
it's not like he had pics taken of himself in a diaper with hookers. right?
speaking of which, how is david vitter doing?
He is a mirror-image of Ryan w/ whom he co-sponsored the "personhood bill" which basically outlaws abortions. Shows how out of touch they are w/ many voting women
I want him to stay in
