Obama wants to make it legal to kill children after they are born. Akin wants to protect all children. I'll take Akin.

Akin needs to go, if he won't then the republicans need to put someone up as a write in, fund them and when ever it is brought up point out that Akin is not their candidate.

He should have quit with dignity when he had the chance, now he just looks like a spoiler. His type of thinking is NOT needed in the Republican party. It's one thing to be against abortion and another to put forth such crack brained statements not supported by any medical facts. It's akin to wanting to burn witches. Stupid and dumb and if he's that stupid we certainly do not need him in the Senate.

Imagine this.....under Romney/Ryan....

You're mom is 78, she has to take Ryan's voucher and find health insurance....AT 78!!

Oh yeah, and try and find an insurance company that would insure her for medicare prices.

And you better hope that at 78, mom has no preexisting condition.

...cause if she does...which is very likely at 78...you can use those vouchers to paper your wall. Cause no health insurance will take on a 78 year old with pre-existing condition for the value of Ryan's voucher.

The Denver CBS affiliate today reported that, as a condition for a one-on-one interview with Mitt Romney, they had to pledge to not ask Romney about either Todd Akin’s recent comments or the topic of abortion.
It’s no surprise why. On Tuesday, the Republican Party’s officially endorsed the Akin amendment, which would ban abortion for all women, including rape victims, and Paul Ryan has struggled to explain his support for redefining rape. Mitt Romney’s campaign might be able to muzzle reporters from asking tough questions, but women across America deserve to know the truth about Romney-Ryan’s extreme agenda.

Akins has big time support from far right groups like Family Research Council,American Family, American Vision, and other Christian groups.

They all know that Akin, Ryan, GOP platform all believe the same thing. Feds should ban abortions period, no exceptions.

GOP higher ups and those repugs on this board calling for Akins to go are upset for vocalizing GOP thoughts.

But there is NO space between what the repugs want and what Atkins want.

Folks on the right don't want Feds telling us we can't walk around with machine guns.

But these same reich wingers have no issue with the Feds coming into our bedrooms and telling a family or woman what she can or cannot not do if the wife/woman was raped.

Really?

ANSWER IS: RAPE PANELS

QUESTION IS: How does a Ryan/Romney federal government allow for abortion if a woman was "force-able" raped.

Seriously, how does Ryan think his wording will work if his Ryan/Adkins Bill passed?

When a woman is at the hospital, the night of the rape, who is the Fed representative that determines if the woman was raped "forceablly"?

Gotta be a Rape Panel...or will reich wingers demand the Feds to make Doctors make the call?

Ryan running from his buddy and his words...even though his "forceably raped" Bill also makes a difference between "forceably raped" vs some other kind of rape.

Really?
If the wifes/woman is armed and knows how to use it, there won't be a rape. Just a dead rapist.

If the rapist is a minority, the left will quickly defend him.

That is a lie. Romney has already been interviewed about Akin, answered the questions, and went on to other subjects. Everyone knows how the Democrats play the press, and the press attempts to play the Republicans, only this time it isn't working. There is too much at stake this time, the whole country. No time for silly games. People are saying this could be our last election if we don't do it right.

On a lighter note, Ryan requested Stimulus funds from the Obama Admin

FACT

In Ryan's request he states the funds would "CREATE JOBS IN HIS DISTRICT" ...like Pres said it would

FACT

When Ryan was called out, Ryan said he didn't remember any request.(Seriously, you sheep believe the man who screams against fed funds doesn't remeber if he requested? He should KNOW he's never done such...but he couldn't say that)

FACT

Ryan later said a "staffer" wrote it

FACT

Ryan realized the memo's in question has HIS signature

FACT

Ryan is a hypocritical liar. Now he has to say what the sheep want to hear, regadless of the truth.

But with sheep, they can know he's lying, but doesn't matter. Their hatred of current Black President would cause them to vote for a head-of-cabbage if it was the repug nominee

...oh wait, you do have a head-of-cabbage as your nominee. ;)
