I don't know I've never even thought about it politics!

Women are people, my friend.

Is there a single person watching this that is the least bit surprised... I mean AT ALL? Does anyone really think this is different than anyone else who's put forward legislation like this?

White men are the most maligned people on the planet. We make laws here protecting women from domestic abuse, providing health care and free breakfasts for their kids, etc. yet because this man is not a woman, he is some kind of shit to be abused.

By your logic, since he is a man, he must be thinking that woman are property to be utilized in any way with no regard for their well-being.

Your logic is porked.

redacted.

I need to learn the discipline of not responding.

Sorry to anyone who read my mental implosion/explosion.

Maybe they thought you'd appreciate the right to choose.

Not surprised, but quite pleased someone's admitted that they haven't really thought about what they've been proposing.

Sorry, I don't see it this way. I see him so flabbergasted that he resorted to the truth because nothing else came to mind. No advisor-driven pat statements, no prepared party-endorsed positions, no damage-control spin.


Just a question that nobody else thought to ask.


That Al Jazeera interviewer, or whoever created that line, deserves a Pulitzer.

Sorry, but that's just fucking sad.

This particular dipshit (I didn't see any other white men being interviewed) didn't pass the protections you mentioned all by himself (if he had anything to do with them at all). For all you know, he fought tooth and nail against them. By your "logic" this idiot shouldn't be criticised because those protections exist at all.

What in this video made you believe he has ANY regard for the well-being of women, outside of allowing an abortion to save her life? Or are you just running to his defense because he has an "R" next to his name?

About 30% of the world population is white. Do you think only white men had anything to do with laws that protect women? By your logic, those white men were ALSO solely responsible for the housing market collapse, 3 unneccesary wars, the world-wide recession, and all the financial scandals that seem to be exposed on a daily basis. They could use a little maligning. Cherry-picking history and regurgitating logical fallacies seem to be all you Repugs have in your arsenal nowadays. It's pitiful.

The whole point of the video is that this crusader against abortion hasn't even considered the view of those who would be most affected by anti-abortion laws. Why do you think that is? Money from anti-abortion donors? Religious nuttery? Towing the party line? Incapable of empathy (a sociopath)? That he is a man who wants to pass laws that only affect women makes it even more disgraceful.

We can always count on the gop-bots to bring the stoopid.

Your argument is so much stronger without this foamy cruft.



You're certainly aware of how effective this is at painting the rest of your argument as the same kind of "us-vs-them" garbage (regardless of its merits) so it comes across as so much chest-puffing and strutting about. That is to say, when you argue like this, you're obviously not arguing for effect - you're showing off for your friends.

Women are corporations now.

I don't care who you are, if you are proposing legislation without having fully considered the consequences, you deserve to lose your job ASAP. The ironic thing is that it's driven by so-called Christian principles but quite obviously ignores the golden rule in application. GTFO please.

It is this shit that blows my mind. So many rule makers who are like this and are just making rules for subjects they have no interest what so ever in researching and learning about. I am not surprised it is a republican but you know..I am not gonna stop the finger pointing there.

And once again the point goes screaming over your tiny little head.

Let me put it in terms you can understand.

Hypothetically, I am a disabled hispanic wiccan lesbian (covered all the bases there I think) and horrified at the number of people killed on our roads every year, I propose a law banning all cars.

When asked by an interviewer if I have ever wondered why people drive, I respond that I'd never really thought about it. Clearly this shows I'm not really qualified to legislate on this issue (at the very least I haven't performed due diligence).

This has nothing to do with my gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or favourite flavour of ice cream. It's because I simply haven't thought the issue through.

Finally. Bravo!

Now that both political conventions are over we have a clear choice between the liberal lawyer and bombastic plagiarist or the successful businessman and the economics major. Choose wisely.

I'll take the liberal lawyer who actually made something of himself over the rich kid who used daddys money to rape and pillage other peoples companies.

Adblock Plus does away with nearly all streaming video ads. I couldn't revert to browsing without it. Some may encourage ad revenue but as I'm bombarded with "buy this" propaganda at every turn I must draw the line somewhere.
