Clinton gets a blow job in the white house...no problem, this
poor bastard make a comment...off with his head. Democrats never apologize they just move on to bigger and better things. When is this obvious double standard going to equalize?
Mike Gallagher is now calling out the “wimpy, gutless Republicans” who are not defending a guy who is willing to take a tough stand and fight for the unborn. He says he made a “bad mistake” in his choice of words but his message on the sanctity of life was absolutely correct.
“When is this obvious double standard going to equalize?”
Never.
He didn't say it was 100% proof, no - but he still said it was evidence - which makes it no less damaging or offensive.
This is some pretty intense spin on your part to try to explain this away.
If it's really Akin who posted that, and at this point I have little reason to suspect that it isn't, this is even nuttier than any of us thought.
Why is it that so many of the uh, "nutty" people we meet profess to be under some sort of divine calling? It gets to the point that it becomes a challenge to those of us who choose to keep the faith.
I'd really like a good answer to this question if someone has one; I'm sure I'm not the first one who's asked it.
OK, then is it also too late for Akin to resign by that logic? Ryan could take the top of the ticket and do a 100% better job than Romney on everything. The GOP elites should say to Romney if he won't release his tax returns right now, then we don't want to take the chance that something bad in them comes out later, so we're cutting his funding off. We don't need to have the next Tim Geithner-like tax cheater dragging down our ticket.
Actually sperm can live for a number of days in the woman. Pregnancy can occur as long as there are sperm remaining at the time of ovulation. In fact there is a theory that male (Y chromosome) and female(X chromosome) sperm have a different survival factor and thus sex selection is affected by the time of ovulation vs the time of intercourse. Don't remember which is supposed to live longer.
I have no idea if there is data but it is not hard to imagine that a violent encounter would change the chemistry of the female reproductive environment and this could easily affect the start of a pregnancy. The fight or flight hormone adrenaline would be an obvious candidate.
This could be something that is selected for through evolution. A man away (hunting or at war) for an extended period of time returns to find his woman pregnant. He is likely to abandon her/kill the child. This would lead to a selective advantage for a woman who could avoid pregnancy from being raped. For the record I have NO data on this. Some questions just can not be funded for research. Can you imagine a proposal to recruit 100 women to be raped for a study. I don't think so. No one would argue that a pregnancy precludes rape if the evidence points to rape. Neither is a pregnancy evidence of rape without other evidence.
I agree with Mr. Gallagher. Wimpy and gutless are good descriptions for the Republican party and a lot of Freepers lately.
The good thing is that Ryan will be able to keep Romney’s feet to the fire.
Uh, why? You mean everyone accused of rape is truly guilty of it? Better get those Duke boys back in jail then.
And when Claire McCaskill gets the deciding vote on the next piece of abortion legislation in the US Senate, how many lives of the unborn will Akin's "tough stand" save?
And Mike Gallagher just said that maybe the reason the GOP elite are so adamant about this is because they think candidates like Akin and O’Donnell are “too pro-life” for them. Exact same thing I said yesterday. This isn’t about a gaffe, this is about throwing a Christian conservative under the bus because they are truly pro-life even in cases of rape. If both me and Gallagher are coming to the same conclusion independently, that certainly gives me encouragement that I’m right.
Sarah Steelman is a RINO plain and simple!
There is an almost direct parallel between those who supported Romney in the primary and those who are against Akin now, and vice versa. Just more proof this is about Christian conservatism and who is truly anti-abortion, not about a reaction to a gaffe.
How do you know all that call in wanting Akin to stay are Democrats? Have you been on the phone polling them?
But did she not get the endorsement from Sarah Palin? Ms. Palin would not endorse any RINOS.
Never as long as we have Republicans with no spine and no balls. Republicans fold like cheap suits under pressue.
Wasn't there a situation in Florida where some liberal signed up as a Republican and tried to run as a Tea Party candidate? Democrats are using old Communist tactics (scary for lots of reasons). It wouldn't surprise me if he was a plant... has anyone looked into that possibility?
When Barack Obama gets to expand socialized medicine and grant amnesty to all illegal alines, how many conservative positions will Romney's "tough stand" on not releasing his taxes save?
You have your opinion on who's going to be bad for our electoral chances, and I have mine. My opinion is that Romney is the huge drag on our party this year that will lose this election on a massive scale, not Akin.
She did get endorsed by Palin but she is a RINO and had dealings with some Unions in MO and not for the better. She does not play well with the Republicans in the sandbox.
