3. Holy crap! Romney is probably wishing he had waited another week to pick Ryan now. nt

4. What's gonna leave a mark?

Why can't you give the POINT of the post in the subject???????????????

6. He's talking about how his running mate, Paul Ryan, is buddy-buddy with Todd Akin.

Todd Akin, a senatorial candidate from my state, made a disgusting comment today about how rape victims cannot get pregnant because if they were really raped their bodies would shut down production or some crap like that.

Anyway, just google Todd Akin or read any of the threads here. That's the mark that's gonna hurt-he's a direct link back to their candidacy.

8. Wait, who's the Ayn Ratkin and Toady Paul I keep hearing

about? These names are really confusing me now. Rand Aynie? Mittens Moranie?

Probably too much cannabis this evening. I need to go to bed.

15. "Mittens Moranie" made me have a Pez Dispenser moment

16. Would it have been THAT difficult to say that in the subject???

But now I see the subject has been clarified.

17. Well, it's been the top topic here on DU for the past 24 hours or so.

What's the big deal? If you don't like it, ignore it. I ignore threads all the time.

[George II]

18. What topic is that?

5. I think most people that were going to vote for Romney are ok with this...

he distanced himself, so for them end of story. Unfortunately for him Romney is tied to the probing party.

7. I know a lot of people say that

that the people agreeing with whatever latest lie or horrible statement, are going to vote for the candidate linked to them. Because I'm a lifelong dem, that has always meant that the folks who were 'misinformed', so to speak, were going to vote repub.

My tale, however, is about one of my grandmothers. Grandfather was a HUGE repub, a real Ronnie Reagan worshipper. We just assumed grandma always voted repub, too.


She didn't. That became clear one night when we were watching a TV show, and Nancy Reagan was on. Grandma opined out of nowhere "I bet she's a real b**** to get along with". Then she said she would never vote for Reagan.

So I think there are a lot of spouses, mainly females, that might not speak up, but vote Dem, opposite of their husbands.

I think that will happen this year.

9. GOP- picking on the powerless for fun and profit.

14. "Legitimate rape" always leaves a mark

"If she isn't wounded, then it means she doesn't put up a fight, and it wasn't really rape."

That's another popular belief with these idiots.
