[MichiganVote]

Yup he said it.

1. WOW!

I hope this is just the beginning. Let it ALL hang out!

[muntrv]

2. So, Paul! Would you like your wife to undergo this "method of conception?"

[roguevalley]

28. by what authority did this little prick manifest the right to impose that nazi theory

on anyone else? Where do these tiny penis pinheads get the freaking gall to tell anyone else that this is what is going to happen? I am really pissed at men lately. Really pissed.

[annabanana]

3. This makes NO sense. He said this TODAY?

It's like aiken on steroids..

[MichiganVote]

5. Sure did. Doubling down and trying to take over the Rmoney admin. already.

[geckosfeet]

4. Ok. That should be a deal breaker right there.

What an a$$hole.

on edit: But you won't be hearing that interview/quote on NPR or any msm anytime soon.

[MichiganVote]

6. Just helping them to see the light. Post it around. Needs greater exposure.

[DJ13]

7. These conservatives are sneaky

Now were all arguing whether abortion should be allowed for rape.

They've moved the conversation away from abortion is legal, and needs to remain legal, to questioning if an exception for rape should be allowed..... as in they've already moved to where we are all accepting it should be illegal in all other cases.

[MichiganVote]

10. Yep. All smoke and mirrors.

[Arkansas Granny]

11. They have managed once again to frame the issue to their advantage.

[Freddie]

19. Yes but...

NOTHING pisses women off more than the "no exceptions" stuff...you're telling her she is worth less than the diseased jizm (sorry) of an rapist. There's no other way to interpret Paul Ryan's viewpoint.
And if we can use that anger to win in Nov. and maybe put this issue to rest, let's do it.

8. Memo re Ivins' Rule of Holes

The late Texan journalist and essayist Molly Ivins observed that the First Rule of Holes is "When you find yourself in one, quit digging." Review and ponder.

[Cha]

20. mini mitt is down there digging with a fever pitch

beside his buddy akin.

[BeyondGeography]

9. Nauseating

[Nevernose]

12. At least it's intellectually consistent

It's not honest, and it is certainly despicable, but it is consistent. If you honestly believe that abortion is murdering a baby, then why is ok to murder babies if you disapprove of the father or method of conception? If that's the case, you may as well legalize all abortions.

He's still wrong, and still a piece of shit, but at least he's consistently a piece of shit.

[CabCurious]

14. "intellectually" isn't the right word, there.

"Conceptually" or "ideologically" would fit.

I'm not sure there is anything "intellectual" about this position.

[Nevernose]

17. Good point

[DonRedwood]

13. kr

15. ...says a uterus-free male n/t

[MichiganVote]

16. The Catholic and the Mormon. Not like we couldn't expect it.

[Cha]

18. Yeah, it is you neanderthal spewing creep. You fucking speak for the

RAPISTS.

[MichiganVote]

21. I agree. I think Ryan favors rapists.

[TheDebbieDee]

27. Ryan looks STOO-pid in this picture, too!

[gateley]

22. I've only seen this here. The media should be all over this like Akin's statement.

[MichiganVote]

23. Yup. but we'll have to move them as usual.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

24. Do you know what I love about all of this?

Seeing Freepers mindlessly demonstrating that they don't know any women.

[Warren DeMontague]

25. Those craaaaazy women! Always looking for an "excuse" to abort!

Good thing the GOP, the Religious Right, and their assorted enablers are there to tell 'em what they can and can't do with their own bodies.

[BootinUp]

26. Lets take a national vote on that. nt

[intaglio]

29. And slowly tearing Mr Ryans balls off with red hot iron pincers

Is just another method of contraception.

On another thread I have been arguing about "morality" and under no definition of morality is Mr Ryan's statement acceptable.
