Mr Frothy (Ricky) Weakens His Anti-Contraceptive Argument With Deodorant Spiel

[stopbush]

I saw a clip this am on MSNBC of Santorum complaining about the mandate to cover contraception.

"What's next? Mandating that deodorant be covered?" said Ricky.

Wow. Comparing birth control to deodorant.

This exposes Mr Frothy's anti-contraceptive stance for the purely political ploy it is. To equate something as mundane as using deodorant to something as significant as birth control is really jumping the shark. To reach for an apples-to-oranges comparison to make your point on what is supposedly a major issue for you is, well, stupid.

I didn't realize that using deodorant was a health issue, did you?

One thing I've noticed about Mr Frothy is that he tends to talk at the intellectual level of the audience he's standing in front of, and that opens him up to saying all kinds of stupid things that the rubes take to be common sense, but that normal people hear as common nonsense.

1. I really hope someone at the DNC is collecting these video clips;

but I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't.

2. OK, Ricky, you give me birth control pills at the grocery store for $2.89, and I'll hear you out.

3. I suppose not using deodorant could be a form of birth control.

Maybe he was remembering his teenage years when he couldn't get laid.

4. Lack of deodorant could be considered a birth control device...

Who wants to have sex with a stinky person?


(Of course the human race has procreated for millenia while covered in filth, so I guess this is not a good argument.)

5. Only a lunatic would compare deodorant to contraceptives.nt

7. Yesterday Hannity's sub suggested b/c = recreational sex, asks should gov't pay

for the date and dinner too?

9. If Santorum thinks deodorant=birth control, does he think deodorant should be illegal, too?

I mean, it's a "license to do things in the odor realm that God didn't intend", right Rick?

[dembotoz]

10. perhaps some deodorants should be illegal

lets ban ban

or secret---no secrets for him
