in USA Today that called for women to "graciously submit" to their husband's "sacrificial" leadership. I think it was a full page advert by the Southern Baptist Convention. I think it was back in the 90s?

I absolutely cannot afford the financial unemployment devastation of one more republican term. My travel job depends on thriving economic conditions, and the last 10 years or so since GWB and ilk took the wrecking ball to the U.S. economy. I'm hanging by a thread and have no more reason now to stay in the US if I cannot get enough work to get back on track like I was before the job market went to crap. I have no retirement funds left now from surviving long unemployment periods and I thank GWB and the totally greedy assholes for that. Beyond opening their anuses and shitting on all of us with moral judgements like this, I have come to COMPLETELY distrust republicans 100 percent since Shrub.
November 2016 will assuredly be a turning point for me if any Repuglican creep gets in office with a Tea Party congressional makeup. Maybe I'm just scared of another devastation, of their gerrymandering, vote flipping, any dishonest means they can shove me back into homelessness. I've had to sleep in my car way more than I care for the last few years despite being an honest, hardworking, patriotic american who serves the public faithfully in my profession.
If any asshat like this gets in office again to wreck the hard working's world again, I will have some pristine hunting property for sale in remote Arizona cheap, with my bags packed for Sao Paulo.

of Americans will believe what uncle Rush and uncle Roger tell them is true. Also, someone should threaten the churches, who endorse candidates, with losing their tax free, non-profit status for violating the constitutional provision of the separation of church and state. Sometimes, in middle America and the south, I think they are the biggest problem in promoting these candidates.

condoned slavery and segregation. They are the same today. One large denomination is as racist and hateful today as it was then, all in the name of god. Their members follow rushpig and uncle roger to their end on this planet. Church has always been a control tool of the 1%ers and they will never be in danger of losing their tax free status as long as they do the bidding of their 1%er masters. Just my take. I agree with you totally.

Perhaps I'm just a complete horn-dog (which I know I am), but I don't want to give women any more reasons than they already have to not have sex with me.

Whenever I hear republican males talking like this I can't help but want to hit myself in the head.

When did this rather recent idea that every male on the planet wanted double-digit kids take hold? Don't they know that birth control = sex without fatherhood too? Where are all the middle class people saying, hey wait a minute, I don't want to turn my wife into a brood cow, pregnant every year of her life, until we're literally buried in children and/or child support?

And why are all these men cheering that they don't want to pay for birth control? How about we say free condoms for men as well? Will that work? Don't they realize it comes out of the family budget regardless?

Don't these men want to get laid?
