THIS DEMOCRAT MAKES AKIN LOOK GOOD.

Danno, if you're looking for some juicy stories on Republicans, come down to Tampa next week and hang out in the adult establishments around here. You'll meet all your fine family values people there supporting single moms a dollar at a time.

Ahhhhhhh Yeahhhh. Mons Venus here they come! They just need to remember that there is no sex in the Champagne Room.

What can I tell you.... there is a whorehouse near every military base as well.

Trickle-down economics in action.

[Danno 1,228]

Well using Liberal Logic that proves that all democrats are like that ....... Of course that is absurd but that is the logic they use on Akin despite the fact that his own party is outraged and calling for him to step down

HIs Party just wants to clear the news cycle so they can get the crafted convention coverage.

The Dems don't give a ####### about rape really, they supported a "molester in chief" and he will be the rockstar at the NDC.

What they care about is that frigging seat, Obama cares survival could come down to one vote.

And of course they want to get the heat off Obama, poor guy can't fill a high school gym any more, had anyone predicted this I would not have believed it.

Another one bites the dust. Yay !! Sex sells, after a fashion...

Well, in this case, it costs..

Age of consent in Minnesota is 16. No money was exchanged. If the boy was 18 would this make it less distasteful?

Q: What would prompt an 18 year old girl to want sex with a man nearly 40 years older than herself?

A: Just ask on VJ. I'm sure many of those answering would say love was involved.

It does not make it any less distasteful.... just shows have these kinda ppl it does not matter they are Rep or Dems and they are running the country.

It's absurd that you'd believe this. Akins is one guy, he deserves to be criticised for his comments as does anyone who supports those comments.

I never said Akin should not be criticized. he is an idiot. I was just saying 1 Akin does not a party make.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Yeah, well that's a given isn't it.

Yeah, well that's a given isn't it.

What you're missing is this: Akin has done nothing but stating the official GOP platform on the issue. I don't see how this Democratic state legislature featured here represents the party's platform. That is the difference.

[mox 298]

I was glad to see a few of the more prominent members of the GOP come forward and condemn the remarks. I was disheartened to see that the VAST majority of the GOP kept silent. I think that speaks volumes about today's GOP. Sure wish Republicans would take back their party.

another flat out lie.

[mox 298]

Akin's position may not be the "official" position, but neither was there all-out condemnation of his remarks. Some Republicans did come forward, and good on them. Most did not.

And it's entirely possible that by the end of next week, a complete ban on abortions, even in cases of rape, will be the official GOP platform. It's just a short hop from there to Akin's stand on the issue.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

another flat out lie.

The GOP opposes any and all abortions regardless of whether the pregnancy is a result of rape or incest or whether the life of the mother is at risk. No exceptions. Period. That's the platform that the GOP committee just approved yesterday w/o much of any debate and that is the platform that the GOP convention will pass next week w/o much debate. Akin is perfectly aligned with the GOP platform on the issue. That's a fact.

the GOP platform makes no mention of the words 'legitimate rape'. you are intentionally LYING to distort their position. that is a fact. and appears to be your standard sop in regards to GOP positions.
