Former Clinton Secretary of State, Madeline Albright, speaking before a crowd of Obama supporters Monday, Aug. 20, said that Democrats would continue to blame the Bush Administration for the bad economy forever.
– I will be very happy if the Dems and the Retrogressives stick with the “We demand the right to murder our babies, and its all Bushes fault” platform.
– As the preferred response to a very very angry electorate…..perfect!
“This is the campaign version of Obama’s entire economic argument: he can’t fix the economy unless he spends more money. And unless we give him more money, he can’t spend it. So if the economy fails, it’s our fault.”
– Which it is ‘their’ fault, for ever putting this Socialist asshole in the WH in the first place.
The democrat campaign slogan I’m seeing when I put on my ‘They Live’ sunglasses is “Vote for Obama or you are stupid, racist, and fair game once he wins anyway”.
– Well there you have it nr. The man obviously has to go. Why hell, he’s actually talking out loud about the ruling class and Washington being completely out of control and the incredibly fucked up economy, and we just can’t have that.
– No wonder the GOP was all over him like flies on cow patties. It all makes perfect sense now.
Cris (Zalles, singer) was born in Santiago, Chile, and still remembers as a 7 year old seeing his country elect a Communist president. For three years, he saw the country fall apart and clearly recalls the food lines, personal property being confiscated, and other rights being violated. He also remembers some of the messages and strategies used by the Communists, like demonizing the rich in order to divide the classes and capture power. With Obama’s re-election campaign upon us, some of those memories have been slowly coming back and have motivated Cris to get involved. In his own words, “Experience trumps ideology”.
A bunch of Florida pros, mostly Latin background. They have a album worth of stuff to check out. This could go viral, dudes know what they are doing.
– nr – Someday, when all the players can no longer run interference and the legacy press can’t ignore it any longer, the whole sordid scam of the “houses for votes” is going to get dumped out on the American floor like a steamy pile of pig shit.
– If Barney Frank doesn’t get a few years of grey bar vacation at some point, there simply is no justice.
bbh just for fun i was thinking of starting an akin you tube channel and upload his economic stuff. it’d be fun to poke the gop “intelligentsia” in the eye and get this guy elected.
I wish I saw a winner in there somewhere, a guy who’s going to claw his way back. This is as good as it gets and this ain’t that good: https://twitter.com/ToddAkin
You know what would work better than that, nr? If he get out and sell it now.
pablo he’s got his son running the publicity for his campaign. mittens should be over there reorganizing his “business” toute suite. i’m just doing lemons-lemonade.
Mitt is up +10 in MO and he has a convention to attend this week
i meant that the mittens campaign could go in there and change the narrative. how much would it cost them to run them “mccaskill/reid 3 years and no budget” ads?
Dr Cole told her: ‘All women’s wiring is different. That’s the reason women respond so differently from one another sexually. The pelvic nerve branches in very individual ways for every woman. These differences are physical’.
He added that men’s sexual wiring is much more uniform.
Miss Wolf told the Sunday Times: ‘I almost fell off my chair in astonishment…neural wiring? Not culture, not upbringing, not patriarchy, not feminism, not Freud?…’
‘It presented the obvious suggestion that anyone could learn about her own, or his or her partner’s particular neural variant as such, and simply master the patterns of the special way it worked.’
– Mitt is running wuss on this one. He’d probably really like to go all out for the guy, but hes afraid of alienating some of his base, and even though all signs point to a win, when you’re up against the fuvking Marxists you take nothing for granted.
– Maybe Leigh, but listening to Akins talks on the economy, and knowing he’d be a seat closer to the WH meaning something again, Romney’d back him if he could. I’m impressed with the guys politics, his speaking presence, not so much.
Yeah. You can be the smartest guy in the room, but if you sound like a mental patient when you talk and worse, get caught flat-footed like he did, you’re toast.
Aviation and politics are both unforgiving. Akin just flew his career into the ground.
if i have the time i’ll look up mccaskill and the economy in the last few years on the senate floor or the pw commentors can do it too. i’m sure claire has some really “intelligent” statements sitting in the cspan library.
– I don’t know if Akin is damaged goods, beyond repair, or if he can win, but I do know that if the Tea party got behind him that could make the GOP get religion real fast, and that’s more a statement about the cynical nature of the Right establishment than it is about Akin.
– Me, I give the guy credit for not folding his tent and crawling away. That took some stones, so I’m not going to judge him until the count is in.
– In the mean time I think the trouble Bummblefuck is having raising dough is a hell of a lot more telling than anyone, especially the Left and the MSM, is letting on. All those “small” donations were from the young voter demographic last time around. When they gave they also would feel the need to follow up with their vote. Not giving this time, to me anyway, signals they’re just not in it this time around.
– That has to be scarring the crap out of the Obama campaign. Any loss of the youth vote and its turn out the party the lights are over.
“Dr Cole told her: ‘All women’s wiring is different. That’s the reason women respond so differently from one another sexually. The pelvic nerve branches in very individual ways for every woman. These differences are physical’.”
the science is settled. wymans has sperm protection
President Barack Obama said Mitt Romney has locked himself into “extreme positions” on economic and social issues and would surely impose them if elected, trying to discredit his Republican rival at the biggest political moment of his life.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Obama said Romney lacks serious ideas, refuses to “own up” to the responsibilities of what it takes to be president, and deals in factually dishonest arguments that could soon haunt him in face-to-face debates.
“It’s a problem. There is no doubt about that,” McCain said on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” when asked about the impact of Akin’s remarks on the Republican presidential ticket. “Mr. Akin should recognize having the nomination of your party is a privilege and if you abuse that then you are not eligible to keep it. What he said was unacceptable.”
It’s not the Right Establishment alone that is saying he’s done.
If McCaskill’s campaign ponied up a big ($1.5 mill) donation to his primary campaign, this sounds like a calculated move by the WH to get a defeatable candidate in place to keep McCaskill in the Senate.
I have the same position as Akin on abortion and I am also against the death penalty. All that out of the way, I am also a scientist and that statement of his was weapons grade stupid. To nearly everyone.
Romney: “President Obama, after almost 4 years in office the economy is in the worse shape its been since WWII. Everytime anyone asks you why, or what you’re going to do about it if you’re given a second term you blame it on George Bush. Does that mean you call him every day to ask him what to do?”
Obama: “Your positions are all extreme, and you deal in factually dishonest arguments.”
” All that out of the way, I am also a scientist and that statement of his was weapons grade stupid. ”
So what.
I agree with Pablo that Akin hasn’t shown any political acumen since the recent clash of mouth with shoe leather.
But if he does get his act together and changes the narrative to refocus back on the economy he still has a shot.
And i really would hate to see the notion of the belief that life begins at conception is an automatic disqualifier, no matter how poorly that belief is expressed.

It doesn’t change the fact that no matter what Akin says from now until the day he dies, he’s going to be remembered for saying a woman cannot become pregnant from a rape. Or very rarely because he heard it from some unknown doctor.

To the life at some indeterminate point in time people it won’t matter either, because that statement will not change the odds of a change in abortion laws.
To the life at whatever time as long as it is in my womb i can abort it people, it is just another arrow in their quiver and i doubt Akin is counting on their votes.
I think if Akin gets a money bomb from the right to life people , he can get back on track. If they abandon him, i’ll agree that he is done.
– Maybe Leigh, but listening to Akins talks on the economy, and knowing he’d be a seat closer to the WH meaning something again, Romney’d back him if he could.
He’s done the math, no doubt. If he were to back Akin, he’d be beat about the head and neck with it 24/7 from here to 11/6. Hell, Fauxcohantas is trying to make Scott Brown into Todd Akin. From a becoming POTUS perspective, it fails the cost/benefit analysis. Ain’t gonna happen. He’s a political liability with very little in the political asset column. There are lots of conservative guys who can play this game at the pro level. Todd isn’t one of them.
Romney is a goal-oriented guy. Getting rid of McCaskill isn’t a goal he’s focused on.
1. That, in every community the more numerous are the producers, and the more various their productions, the more prompt, numerous, and extensive are the markets for those productions; and, by a natural consequence, the more profitable are they to the producers; for price rises with the demand. But this advantage is to be derived from real production alone, and not from a forced circulation of products; for a value once created is not augmented in its passage from one hand to another, nor by being seized and expended by the government, instead of by an individual. The man, that lives upon the productions of other people, originates no demand for those productions; he merely puts himself in the place of the producer, to the great injury of production, as we shall presently see.
And
2. That each individual is interested in the general prosperity of all, and that the success of one branch of industry promotes that of all the others. In fact, whatever profession or line of business a man may devote himself to, he is the better paid and the more readily finds employment, in proportion as he sees others thriving equally around him. A man of talent, that scarcely vegetates in a retrograde state of society, would find a thousand ways of turning his faculties to account in a thriving community that could afford to employ and reward his ability. A merchant established in a rich and populous town, sells to a much larger amount than one who sets up in a poor district, with a population sunk in indolence and apathy. What could an active manufacturer, or an intelligent merchant, do in a small deserted and semi-barbarous town in a remote corner of Poland or Westphalia? Though in no fear of a competitor, he could sell but little, because little was produced; whilst at Paris, Amsterdam, or London, in spite of the competition of a hundred dealers in his own line, he might do business on the largest scale. The reason is obvious: he is surrounded with people who produce largely in an infinity of ways, and who make purchases, each with his respective products, that is to say, with the money arising from the sale of what he may have produced.

the mittens campaign could go in there and change the narrative. how much would it cost them to run them “mccaskill/reid 3 years and no budget” ads?
leigh says August 26, 2012 at 7:28 pm
That isn’t going to happen, nr.
Akin is radioactive to them[.]
They might want to think that if they think Akin is a drag on them going forward in MO.
It wouldn’t be hard to cut an ad tying McCaskell and Reid to Obama and the three of them as harmful to Missouri and America.
There are lots of conservative guys who can play this game at the pro level. Todd isn’t one of them.
that’s what we have: akin. we also have an idiot contingent that is hell bent on being “right” in their forecast. you folks sux some self righteousness. instead of trying to fix a problem you keep pouring sand in the gears. go team r.
– Which is to say, I honestly believe this election is R&R’s to lose, and I would hope there’s no more Akin’s second teir bubbleheads out there to throw another wrench in the works.
Akin has unfortunately moved himself into the catergory of expendable. His usefulness and utility are gone this campaign cycle.
yea commercials with baracky saying that he’s for an abortion after an abortion will be looked at as mainstream. leigh you and pablo et al really suck when it comes to fighting the proggtards
– If the Tea party gets behind him, and he gets fresh money into his campaign, as screwed up as McCaskill is, he’s almost a lock to win. Then what does Romney and the Right do?
– Its a no-win for R&R now, thanks to their kneejerk reaction, so they better hope he loses.
Heh. I like to think that I’m just looking at this situation objectively. If anyone wants to explain to me why this guy isn’t a tomato can, I’ll gladly listen. But if I were a betting man…
that’s what we have: akin. we also have an idiot contingent that is hell bent on being “right” in their forecast.
You confuse predictions with aspirations. You should stop doing that. Me, I’d like to be wrong about this one. That doesn’t make me think I am anymore than your utter lack of evidence supporting that proposition does.
nah i see hannity, coutler and you , 60 days out of an election, continue to hammer akin. maybe shut up and try to elect him? it might work oh one who is so concerned about taking the senate.
When was I supposed to start giving a fuck about the MO Senate election? A week ago, it was a GOP walk. Suddenly, it’s my fault McCaskill’s winning. I sense magical thinking at play.
– If it makes you feel better nr, you could use the pic of that guy in Ohio as Obama’s campaign bus went by on the freeway, but knowing Leigh if I were you I’d think about it first.
It doesn’t change the fact that no matter what Akin says from now until the day he dies, he’s going to be remembered for saying a woman cannot become pregnant from a rape. Or very rarely because he heard it from some unknown doctor.
You know what’s really stupid? Calling a guy stupid for deferring to the facts, whether he understand them or not, instead of making obeisance to the conventional wisdom.
.0032 million pregnancies out of 6 million pregnancies each year. That’s your facts right there. Whether Akin’s believe’s the reason it’s rare because of holy rape sheilds, or because of biology and statistical probabilities of conception under any circumstances, or even “from what I understand from doctor’s that’s really rare because the female body has ways of dealing with that,” is irrelevant to the facts.
Morover, if we wanted to be charitable, Akin can be understood as saying, “I don’t know why it’s rare, but doctors tell me it is, and that’s good enough for me.” Evidently that’s not good enough. Whyhe believes what he believes is more important than what he believes.
2+2=5
But then, why would we want to be charitable? After all, we know what the left is going to say. And it’s much easier to go with the flow than to try to push back against it. Pushing back means you get associated with religious nuts who believe in magic rape shields. And it doesn’t matter whether that’s true or not. The accusation itself is just too embarrassing for right-thinking people.
And, to steal a play from Jeff, by righ-thinking I mean left-thinking.
– Tell you the truth, when I watch Akin’s speaking he looks tired, worn out. What I don’t see is a natural leader type. And peoples we need leaders, not more McCains.
– This whole type of dustup, pro and con, would be avoided if our Pols would just learn the wisdom of less is more.
Ah, yes. He’s really awesome. It’s my fault he’s losing.
Idiot.
well there’s two videos of akin speaking about debt, deficit and collapse of the financial system a few post back. eagerly await your mccaskill vids from the senate on the same? but let’s focus on one stupid thing for the win. you go team r!!!!
– No, his economy stuff looks solid, but as I said, he looks sort of worn down. Not a lot of fire left I would guess, and I don’t think its simply because of this firestorm. Fact is through it all he seemed to be surprised and confused by it all.
He doesn’t need our help. You’re talking about fucking Missouri for heaven’s sake. People would be more appalled if he didn’t enjoy possum pie than they will be about his goofy rape babble a month from now.
BBH i’m not sure we need more natural leader types. I think we need plodding implementers who can shepherd legislation through the mazes so the will of the people is enacted.
I don’t think anyone believes that Akin is just using the Senate as a stepping stone to higher office.
““Dr Cole told her: ‘All women’s wiring is different. That’s the reason women respond so differently from one another sexually. The pelvic nerve branches in very individual ways for every woman. These differences are physical’.”
– Yeh, it is Abe. But at my age I have an advantage. I’m past the point where I give a fuck whether I win any popularity contests any more. It’s Liberating!
all he did was make a distinction between legitimate rapes and the procreative kind where god blesses you with a baby just like mother mary except where illegitimate rape is involved
some people call him nuts but others would be proud to call him Senator
it’s a matter of no small controversy in these waning days of America
““Dr Cole told her: ‘All women’s wiring is different. That’s the reason women respond so differently from one another sexually. The pelvic nerve branches in very individual ways for every woman. These differences are physical’.
Yeah. The “revelation” that females are more complex and varied than men in that way is something every man-whore figured out by their sophomore year in college. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.
– Sure feets, because lets face it, if Dec 22nd dawns and I DON’T have a happy birthday because the whole damn thing has gone up in Aztec smoke all of this is really going to fucking matter.
all he did was make a distinction between legitimate rapes and the procreative kind
I thought he was making a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate in the hypothetical context of a woman attempting to get an abortion in a state where abortion had been outlawed except for certain narrow exceptioins such as rape.
The “revelation” that females are more complex and varied than men in that way is something every man-whore figured out by their sophomore year in college. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.
– Yeh, that’s a real poser BT. They keep revising the damn armageddon date every time one passes and nothing happens. I’m getting really tired of changing my insurance and will, not to mention my vanity plates.
You seem too smart for me to have to explain this in baby-talk, nr, but even if that passage you excerpted meant what you think it means, the fact that women’s physical responses are neurologically varied is at odds with Akin’s assertion, not a vindication of it.
I thought he was making a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate in the hypothetical context of a woman attempting to get an abortion in a state where abortion had been outlawed except for certain narrow exceptions such as rape.
if this was his intent he failed fairly spectacularly
They didn’t exactly predict their break down as an urban society. Apparently modern descendants of the Mayans living in Mexico keep telling reporters who ask that it’s new age bullshit and that they don’t believe the Dresden codex and tis calendar is important in any way beyond antiquity, rarity and historical/cultural significance.
Yes, it is a complex subject. For instance, a smarter person making his assertion might have it occur to him that having wiring designed to prevent conception during violent non-consensual sex might mean God and the Baby Jesus don’t really want no rape babies.

“I was talking about forcible rape,” Akin said. “It was absolutely the wrong word. … I’ve known people who have been raped. I don’t know any who have been raped and it turned out to end in pregnancy, but I know that happens too.”

Until you drop the fears you have of being thought silly by coastal elites (and those who want to be accepted by them) who already think you’re silly, hateful, and perhaps mentally deficient for not having eschewed all religion and instead adopted the sanctimonious and egocentric religions of Keynesian economics, Marxism, identity politics, “diversity,” and environmentalism — plus, you vote Republican — they will have you under their control.
Even if it only flares up on rare occasions. Because it will always be something, and they’ll find your weak spot. It’s what they do. It’s who they are.
I love it. I put it on my Facebook page so I’ll probably get shunned by my aging liberal hippy friends.

– Mitt is running wuss on this one. He’d probably really like to go all out for the guy, but hes afraid of alienating some of his base, and even though all signs point to a win, when you’re up against the fuvking Marxists you take nothing for granted.
My guess is that Mitt thinks he’s a bit of a dipshit.
lemonade is empty calories
I don’t know that I’d call it that, BBH.
Did you watch FNS today? He was asked about Akin and he seemed to think Akin is a liability and should let another more viable candidate step in.
You have to decide which hill to die on and he has bigger fish to fry.
– Maybe Leigh, but listening to Akins talks on the economy, and knowing he’d be a seat closer to the WH meaning something again, Romney’d back him if he could. I’m impressed with the guys politics, his speaking presence, not so much.

– In the mean time I think the trouble Bummblefuck is having raising dough is a hell of a lot more telling than anyone, especially the Left and the MSM, is letting on. All those “small” donations were from the young voter demographic last time around. When they gave they also would feel the need to follow up with their vote. Not giving this time, to me anyway, signals they’re just not in it this time around.
– That has to be scarring the crap out of the Obama campaign. Any loss of the youth vote and its turn out the party the lights are over.
Isn’t Ted Cruz a no exception guy too?
And Mourdock and Heller?
The horror!
Romney got played.
republican rape freak in stunning upset
You need to change your avatar to Eeyore, Pablo.
;p
republican rape freak in stunning upset
“Dr Cole told her: ‘All women’s wiring is different. That’s the reason women respond so differently from one another sexually. The pelvic nerve branches in very individual ways for every woman. These differences are physical’.”
the science is settled. wymans has sperm protection
Mercy, that’s beautiful.
“It’s a problem. There is no doubt about that,” McCain said on NBC’s “Meet The Press,” when asked about the impact of Akin’s remarks on the Republican presidential ticket. “Mr. Akin should recognize having the nomination of your party is a privilege and if you abuse that then you are not eligible to keep it. What he said was unacceptable.”
It’s not the Right Establishment alone that is saying he’s done.
If McCaskill’s campaign ponied up a big ($1.5 mill) donation to his primary campaign, this sounds like a calculated move by the WH to get a defeatable candidate in place to keep McCaskill in the Senate.
I have the same position as Akin on abortion and I am also against the death penalty. All that out of the way, I am also a scientist and that statement of his was weapons grade stupid. To nearly everyone.
Romney: “President Obama, after almost 4 years in office the economy is in the worse shape its been since WWII. Everytime anyone asks you why, or what you’re going to do about it if you’re given a second term you blame it on George Bush. Does that mean you call him every day to ask him what to do?”
Obama: “Your positions are all extreme, and you deal in factually dishonest arguments.”
Romney: “Is that a yes?”
And here comes the electric hamster quoting John McCain to support his position.
i just thought it was funny is all
“Mr. Akin should recognize having the nomination of your party is a privilege
no proggtard “we the people” choose him. go do choom asshat
” All that out of the way, I am also a scientist and that statement of his was weapons grade stupid. ”
So what.
I agree with Pablo that Akin hasn’t shown any political acumen since the recent clash of mouth with shoe leather.
But if he does get his act together and changes the narrative to refocus back on the economy he still has a shot.
And i really would hate to see the notion of the belief that life begins at conception is an automatic disqualifier, no matter how poorly that belief is expressed.
– If theres one Pol outside of a whole list of demturds that I’d like to see the hell out of Washington, it’s that total jackass McCain.
Mercy, that’s beautiful.
It surely is. The debates are going to be a marvel.
i really would hate to see the notion of the belief that life begins at conception is an automatic disqualifier, no matter how poorly that belief is expressed.
Where did I say that?
You didn’t say it. I did.
Yes, you did.
It doesn’t change the fact that no matter what Akin says from now until the day he dies, he’s going to be remembered for saying a woman cannot become pregnant from a rape. Or very rarely because he heard it from some unknown doctor.
for pablo
Can we do to Dems in Maine what they did to us in Missouri?
– Are we going to do the Akins mambo from now til November?
It doesn’t change the fact that no matter what Akin says from now until the day he dies, he’s going to be remembered for saying a woman cannot become pregnant from a rape.
by whom? or womb or that is a dumb assertion.
To the life at conception people it won’t matter.
To the life at some indeterminate point in time people it won’t matter either, because that statement will not change the odds of a change in abortion laws.
To the life at whatever time as long as it is in my womb i can abort it people, it is just another arrow in their quiver and i doubt Akin is counting on their votes.
I think if Akin gets a money bomb from the right to life people , he can get back on track. If they abandon him, i’ll agree that he is done.
He’s done the math, no doubt. If he were to back Akin, he’d be beat about the head and neck with it 24/7 from here to 11/6. Hell, Fauxcohantas is trying to make Scott Brown into Todd Akin. From a becoming POTUS perspective, it fails the cost/benefit analysis. Ain’t gonna happen. He’s a political liability with very little in the political asset column. There are lots of conservative guys who can play this game at the pro level. Todd isn’t one of them.
Romney is a goal-oriented guy. Getting rid of McCaskill isn’t a goal he’s focused on.
What, did y’all think he was George Washington?
nah we’re trying to devise ways around the stupid gop between now and nov.
What did J.B. Say say? He said:
And
Are we going to re-litigate this Akin thing? I hope not. There was enough friendly fire already.
They might want to think that if they think Akin is a drag on them going forward in MO.
It wouldn’t be hard to cut an ad tying McCaskell and Reid to Obama and the three of them as harmful to Missouri and America.
It doesn’t matter how much money he has if he doesn’t know how to use it effectively. I’m not seeing that he does. Or that his son does.
– To me Akin’s is small peanuts compared to the startling example of how easily the Right can get played.
There are lots of conservative guys who can play this game at the pro level. Todd isn’t one of them.
that’s what we have: akin. we also have an idiot contingent that is hell bent on being “right” in their forecast. you folks sux some self righteousness. instead of trying to fix a problem you keep pouring sand in the gears. go team r.
Pablo, the Dems are already circulating a mock-up of the Romney-Ryan bumpersticker that says Romney-Ryan-Akin.
Akin has unfortunately moved himself into the catergory of expendable. His usefulness and utility are gone this campaign cycle.
the pablo contingent would have had armstrong abort his landing at the 12 second mark. no effin’ balls in this nation anymore
– Which is to say, I honestly believe this election is R&R’s to lose, and I would hope there’s no more Akin’s second teir bubbleheads out there to throw another wrench in the works.
You’d prefer it if he’d doubled down on whatever it is you think he thinks?
I would have no problem stipulating that a condition of the investment would be new management.
That would be yes, then.
Akin has unfortunately moved himself into the catergory of expendable. His usefulness and utility are gone this campaign cycle.
yea commercials with baracky saying that he’s for an abortion after an abortion will be looked at as mainstream. leigh you and pablo et al really suck when it comes to fighting the proggtards
It wouldn’t be hard to cut an ad tying McCaskell and Reid to Obama and the three of them as harmful to Missouri and America.
It’s quite possible that is in the works. Just not this week.
– If the Tea party gets behind him, and he gets fresh money into his campaign, as screwed up as McCaskill is, he’s almost a lock to win. Then what does Romney and the Right do?
– Its a no-win for R&R now, thanks to their kneejerk reaction, so they better hope he loses.
Heh. I like to think that I’m just looking at this situation objectively. If anyone wants to explain to me why this guy isn’t a tomato can, I’ll gladly listen. But if I were a betting man…
Fuck you, newrouter.
Stop taking out your aggrevation toward your mother on me.
– I’ll take that as a “yes” in response to my November question.
Fuck you, newrouter.
Stop taking out your aggrevation toward your mother on me.
yea ok
You confuse predictions with aspirations. You should stop doing that. Me, I’d like to be wrong about this one. That doesn’t make me think I am anymore than your utter lack of evidence supporting that proposition does.
leigh put down the bottle
I don’t drink, nr. Take your own advice.
You confuse predictions with aspirations.
nah i see hannity, coutler and you , 60 days out of an election, continue to hammer akin. maybe shut up and try to elect him? it might work oh one who is so concerned about taking the senate.
Anyone got a soothing bird video to link?
I don’t drink, nr. Take your own advice.
hysterical wymans check your neurons
sdferr linked cool dogs in combat pictures on another thread.
would flipping the bird to leigh be soothing?
* The Left finds some conservative hack, and uses him to push the Rights buttons.
* The Right tells birther jokes and pushes the Lefts buttons.
– Common folks, its the crazy season, lighten up. We still have 71 days of this crap to slog through.
Ah, yes. He’s really awesome. It’s my fault he’s losing.
Idiot.
Found one.
When was I supposed to start giving a fuck about the MO Senate election? A week ago, it was a GOP walk. Suddenly, it’s my fault McCaskill’s winning. I sense magical thinking at play.
Two birds [though the musical accompaniment isn’t to write home about].
Why are Hannity and Coulter involved in this anyway?
– If it makes you feel better nr, you could use the pic of that guy in Ohio as Obama’s campaign bus went by on the freeway, but knowing Leigh if I were you I’d think about it first.
Eagle
Heh, well played, fellas.
You know what’s really stupid? Calling a guy stupid for deferring to the facts, whether he understand them or not, instead of making obeisance to the conventional wisdom.
.0032 million pregnancies out of 6 million pregnancies each year. That’s your facts right there. Whether Akin’s believe’s the reason it’s rare because of holy rape sheilds, or because of biology and statistical probabilities of conception under any circumstances, or even “from what I understand from doctor’s that’s really rare because the female body has ways of dealing with that,” is irrelevant to the facts.
Morover, if we wanted to be charitable, Akin can be understood as saying, “I don’t know why it’s rare, but doctors tell me it is, and that’s good enough for me.” Evidently that’s not good enough. Whyhe believes what he believes is more important than what he believes.
2+2=5
But then, why would we want to be charitable? After all, we know what the left is going to say. And it’s much easier to go with the flow than to try to push back against it. Pushing back means you get associated with religious nuts who believe in magic rape shields. And it doesn’t matter whether that’s true or not. The accusation itself is just too embarrassing for right-thinking people.
And, to steal a play from Jeff, by righ-thinking I mean left-thinking.
Eagle vs. goat.
Ernst I can’t read the man’s mind and neither can you, so stop trying to.
Downrange, people. Downrange.
Is anyone else watching “Copper” on BBC? It’s only the second episode and it’s already epic.
I’m not. I’m trying to understand him instead of dismiss him because his statement was “weapons-grade stupid.”
But I can afford to do that, since I’m not vested in winning an election.
– Tell you the truth, when I watch Akin’s speaking he looks tired, worn out. What I don’t see is a natural leader type. And peoples we need leaders, not more McCains.
– This whole type of dustup, pro and con, would be avoided if our Pols would just learn the wisdom of less is more.
You’re quarrelsome Ernst. It’s your nature.
But I like you anyway.
Ah, yes. He’s really awesome. It’s my fault he’s losing.
Idiot.
well there’s two videos of akin speaking about debt, deficit and collapse of the financial system a few post back. eagerly await your mccaskill vids from the senate on the same? but let’s focus on one stupid thing for the win. you go team r!!!!
Is anyone else watching “Copper” on BBC? It’s only the second episode and it’s already epic.
yes it is ofa
Just as it’s your nature to ingratiate yourself with whatever you happen to see as the prevailing conventional wisdom around here, bless your heart.
I can condescend too.
– No, his economy stuff looks solid, but as I said, he looks sort of worn down. Not a lot of fire left I would guess, and I don’t think its simply because of this firestorm. Fact is through it all he seemed to be surprised and confused by it all.
He doesn’t need our help. You’re talking about fucking Missouri for heaven’s sake. People would be more appalled if he didn’t enjoy possum pie than they will be about his goofy rape babble a month from now.
I wasn’t condescending. That’s your department.
I was making an observation.
If you say so.
I can condescend too.
– Yeh, but can you patronize. That’s a lot trickier.
I was making an observation.
yes give baracky my regards ofa
This is kind of fun to watch.
BBH i’m not sure we need more natural leader types. I think we need plodding implementers who can shepherd legislation through the mazes so the will of the people is enacted.
I don’t think anyone believes that Akin is just using the Senate as a stepping stone to higher office.
his goofy rape babble a month from now.
just for underlining
““Dr Cole told her: ‘All women’s wiring is different. That’s the reason women respond so differently from one another sexually. The pelvic nerve branches in very individual ways for every woman. These differences are physical’.”
– Yeh, it is Abe. But at my age I have an advantage. I’m past the point where I give a fuck whether I win any popularity contests any more. It’s Liberating!
all he did was make a distinction between legitimate rapes and the procreative kind where god blesses you with a baby just like mother mary except where illegitimate rape is involved
some people call him nuts but others would be proud to call him Senator
it’s a matter of no small controversy in these waning days of America
Fact is through it all he seemed to be surprised and confused by it all.
the alinsky by your own party will do dat.
I guess I’ll take that under advisement.
just for underlining
““Dr Cole told her: ‘All women’s wiring is different. That’s the reason women respond so differently from one another sexually. The pelvic nerve branches in very individual ways for every woman. These differences are physical’.
Yeah. The “revelation” that females are more complex and varied than men in that way is something every man-whore figured out by their sophomore year in college. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.
– Sure feets, because lets face it, if Dec 22nd dawns and I DON’T have a happy birthday because the whole damn thing has gone up in Aztec smoke all of this is really going to fucking matter.
between legitimate rapes and the procreative kind
stupid yellow pinkachu: legitimate/forced rape, statutory rape, and rape – rape and towanda browley rape
nr, that article you keep referencing is about female orgams, not conception.
experts believe it is all to do with a woman’s internal wiring.
What would we do without experts?
I thought he was making a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate in the hypothetical context of a woman attempting to get an abortion in a state where abortion had been outlawed except for certain narrow exceptioins such as rape.
The “revelation” that females are more complex and varied than men in that way is something every man-whore figured out by their sophomore year in college. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.
so mr. abe what does it mean to you?
“Why are they protesting vaginas?”
Because there’s a war on women. It makes perfect sense if you hold your breath long enough to make the light get dimmer.
You mean Dec 22 might not be the drop dead date?
I’m going to have to refigure my retirement plans.
Igor: ” Master! Master! The Peasants are revolting! ”
Dr. Von Frankenstein : ” Yeah? Well, I bet you don’t get invited to many parties either.”

nr, that article you keep referencing is about female orgams, not conception.
thanks ofa for stupid comment.
so mr. abe what does it mean to you?
Orgasms. Orgasms. Orgasms. Not conception.
I’m past the point where I give a fuck whether I win any popularity contests any more. It’s Liberating!
Isn’t it though? I’ve been there for years.
– I’ll take orgasms for 500 Alex.
….’course most of us will take orgasms over almost anything you can name, so that’s not really saying much.
” – Yeh, but can you patronize. That’s a lot trickier.”
Well…I backed a couple of Kickstarters and last week I gave a guy who forgot his wallet $8 for a Jimmy Johns.
A really good sneeze is kind of orgasmic. Not that I have the slightest clue why, physiologically.
“- I’ll take orgasms for 500 Alex.”
500 sounds kind of high Alex. I mean I can do it myself for a lot less…
Orgasms. Orgasms. Orgasms. Not conception.
yes that is the proggtard path to cultural suicide. hey allan ackbar to you too.
– Yeh, that’s a real poser BT. They keep revising the damn armageddon date every time one passes and nothing happens. I’m getting really tired of changing my insurance and will, not to mention my vanity plates.
What does that even mean, nr?
Well if you can’t trust the Mayans….
What does that even mean, nr?
ask sandra fluke. she’s in charlotte next week. though media benjamin is in tampa this week with her vagina clothes.
You seem too smart for me to have to explain this in baby-talk, nr, but even if that passage you excerpted meant what you think it means, the fact that women’s physical responses are neurologically varied is at odds with Akin’s assertion, not a vindication of it.
I thought he was making a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate in the hypothetical context of a woman attempting to get an abortion in a state where abortion had been outlawed except for certain narrow exceptions such as rape.
if this was his intent he failed fairly spectacularly
if this was his intent he failed fairly spectacularly
so did the pinkachu with no links
“Well if you can’t trust the Mayans….”
They didn’t exactly predict their break down as an urban society. Apparently modern descendants of the Mayans living in Mexico keep telling reporters who ask that it’s new age bullshit and that they don’t believe the Dresden codex and tis calendar is important in any way beyond antiquity, rarity and historical/cultural significance.
here is a link it is a musics
the fact that women’s physical responses are neurologically varied is at odds with Akin’s assertion, not a vindication of it.
complex subject no? akin maybe correct. but do not let this stop us from reporting that: mccaskhill and reid HAVE NOT PRODUCED A BUDGET IN 3 YEARS.
oh no don’t do dat
here is a link it is a musics
yea thanks for shitty musics
you are a really unappreciative person with respect to the very good musics what I linked is my feeling
Yes, it is a complex subject. For instance, a smarter person making his assertion might have it occur to him that having wiring designed to prevent conception during violent non-consensual sex might mean God and the Baby Jesus don’t really want no rape babies.
Today is Insty’s b’day.
Well, we all know that never happens.
For instance, a smarter person making his assertion might have it occur to him that having wiring designed to prevent conception during violent non-consensual sex might mean God and the Baby Jesus don’t really want no rape babies.
i’m yawning about females and their pink things. cunts are stupid. fiscal calamity not so much. hey sandra fluke eff you with a dildo.
Sandra Fluke is likely quite attached to her dildo. Things are hard out there for a girl who looks like Augustus Gloop.

“ummmm lead the charge?”
I suspect they were after ratings or booksales.
I suspect some of the others were engaged in infighting.

Links, you say? OK. Here’s Akin explaining what he meant to Huckabee last Monday:
Then here he is telling Dana Loesch what he meant on Tuseday:
I thought I knew what he meant. Now I’m not so sure.
Anybody have any comment on the foreign policy of the Principality of Schleswig-Holstein?
Holsteins make good eatin’. Just don’t go past medium rare.
I interpreted Akin as meaning 1st Degree Rape, the kind that used to get one fried in an electric chair. And still should AFAIC.
Fixed that just a tad.
Oh, if you haven’t seen this, you must! Sorry!

I thought that too. But when he says he was talking about false claims, then I don’t know.
Igor: “Of course, you take the blonde, I’ll take the brunette”
It’s “You take the blonde; I’ll take the one in the toyben!” Man, I love that movie…
Moving on: who’d like to participate in a pool on how many unrelated threads this week are going to go straight to newrouter campaigning for Akin?
This.
Until you drop the fears you have of being thought silly by coastal elites (and those who want to be accepted by them) who already think you’re silly, hateful, and perhaps mentally deficient for not having eschewed all religion and instead adopted the sanctimonious and egocentric religions of Keynesian economics, Marxism, identity politics, “diversity,” and environmentalism — plus, you vote Republican — they will have you under their control.
Even if it only flares up on rare occasions. Because it will always be something, and they’ll find your weak spot. It’s what they do. It’s who they are.
