How do all these married Republicans prevent their girlfriends from getting pregnant?

[NNN0LHI]

Do they encourage their girlfriends to use birth control? ... Gasp!

Or do they wait until they get pregnant and then pay for them to get them abortions? Double plus Gasp!

Any other ideas?

1. they don't all keep their girlfriends from getting pregnant

See Fossella, Vito, ex-U.S. rep from NY (R) and Edwards, John.

[unc70]

11. Edwards is not a Republican, but you just have to bring him up

And while Edwards is likely the father, paternity has not been established. I do not see any of the players in this having great credibility in this area: not JE, not RH, and certainly not the Santa Barbara insiders/friends (Baruch, Huffington, et al).

It is a shame we do not have the benefit of the voices of John and Elizabeth during the health care debates. With time, they might have filled some of the void left by fellow UNC alum Wellstone. My hope is now with Franken.

[cali]

28. Your hope is with Franken? Gee, pay attention. Bernie Sanders is the

go to person in the Congress re health care and he has been for years, and years. He's only about a thousand times better than JE who viciously attacked Dean from the right on healthcare in the 2004 election cycle. There is no void left by that repulsive piece of shit charlatan. Dean and Sanders are politicians who actually have worked for decades on reforming healthcare. JE? Not even fucking close.

You clearly know nothing about who the leaders on reforming healthcare are.

[unc70]

36. You clearly know nothing about me and you mis-read my post

See #33 for my actual response to you. I had gone back to re-read my post and mistakenly replied to myself.

Even with his known faults, I see your description of JE as "repulsive piece of shit charlatan" to be way over the line. I saw Edwards as a work in progress, having entered politics rather late. I posted years ago that JE would have been much-better prepared for politics if he had attended UNC Chapel Hill as an undergraduate rather than NC State.

I was fortunate at UNC to have known Dr. Frank Graham, Allard Lowenstein, Paul Wellstone, and others committed to doing what is right, what is just, what will improve the lives of all the people.

[unc70]

33. Try reading my post again. Franken to fill void by loss of Wellstone.

What I said was that I now have hope that Franken will help fill the void left by Paul's death. Not specifically about health care, and certainly not as leadership in Congress or elsewhere. Particularly some of the populist aspects.

Elizabeth Edwards was an effective advocate on health care, particularly countering the RW socialized medicine talking points. We will need all the advocates we can muster. I was making a very personal connection because the Wellstones and Elizabeth Edwards were fellow students of mine at UNC in the 60's, as was Dean's brother Charlie.

I knew them then, though not well.

2. Good question

[NNN0LHI]

4. Now Vitter I understand

Can't get someone pregnant while wearing a huge diaper.

[rurallib]

15. Larry Craig has an answer to that problem also.

[lunatica]

16. And prostitutes are pretty savvy about pregnancies and how to avoid them

[lunatica]

17. self delete. Wrong post

[FSogol]

3. They ignore their "love children". See Strom Thurmond n/t

[MADem]

5. Before DNA, they said, "It wasn't me!"

There's always the old "No Glove, No Love" thing, and of course, the "Get out the Staple Gun" solution, as well!

Further, if the Republican is a fellah, and his partner is as well, no worries! Unless you get caught in an airport bathroom...or someone decides to "tell."

[Obamanaut]

9. Or, if the "fellah" is not a Republican, also no worries unless caught -

Barney Frank comes to mind.

Inappropriate behavior is not restricted to a single party or group.

[MADem]

21. Barney had a boyfriend who sidelined as a prostitute--he paid the price for that mess.

At the end of the day, though, his constituents said "No, really? WHAT? You're kidding! Barney's ..... GAY? OMG, OMG, OMG.... WHO KNEW?????"

And they reelected him. See, they, in actual fact, knew, even before he was "out." And they didn't care. He's a good legislator. He just picked a lousy boyfriend.

Getting "caught" for Barn was a good thing. He was finally able to say it loud, and be out and be proud.

After the shitstorm, it made his life much easier.

Cheating on your spouse doesn't have quite the same flavor as what Barney did. He was a SINGLE guy who made an error as to his choice of partner.

[get the red out]

25. Well put

Making a bad choice in with whom you have a relationship isn't quite the same as destroying your family and the family of the person you are messing around with. The numbers of people hurt don't compare.

6. They're Republicans, they're shooting blanks.nt

7. Pa Kettle Sanford has 4 little kids

8. It was a joke. nt

[TheCowsCameHome]

10. It's in their genes - the don't give a f*ck about anyone but themselves

[DrDan]

12. you are assuming some virility among the R's that might be a tad lacking

having a girlfriend and . . . uh . . . . satisfying her are not necessarily the same

[get the red out]

14. That would be against the Bible

I think it is ok as long as he enjoys the 30 seconds of bliss and she doesn't.

[DrDan]

20. 30 seconds? . . . . you really think that long?

just eye candy - that's all they are seeking

not unlike their hummers (I mean the car, of course), their guns, their braggadocio

[Xipe Totec]

13. Like most repugs, they only shoot blanks

All bang an no bullets.

18. Saran wrap?

Very small dicks?

19. Naw. They let C Street deal with it

[nevergiveup]

22. There should be a clinic in Washington D.C.

that specializes in Republican vasectomies. The main purpose would be to reduce the propagation of Republicans but would have the side benefit of protecting vulnerable Republican staffers.

[formercia]

24. Prematue ejaculation. n/t

[lefthandedlefty]

26. Repukes around here say they only have sex to get pregnant

:sarcasm:

[one_true_leroy]

27. Whoa!!

Who said they were having sex? They were just going to church with their mistresses. THAT is the real issue.

[Freddie Stubbs]

29. Stick it up the pooper?

:shrug:

[obliviously]

31. It seems the most likely scenario! N/T

[scheming daemons]

30. In general, Republican men have low sperm counts

That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it.

[Hepburn]

39. Well, that would be consistent with their IQs! eom

Works great for Priests, too.

[librechik]

37. usually they just have two families and manage to keep it quiet somehow.

At least that is what I am told by MSNBC's Weekend Sleazebag Block.

[Hepburn]

38. Yeah, just like Mary Kay Letourneau's father....

...wack-job Schmitz from Orange County, CA.

And people wonder about WHY she turned out as she did???

[stanwyck]

40. Abortions. Abortions. Abortions. Repubs bathe in hypocrisy

If we only knew how many Republicans paid for their wives/girlfriends to get abortions, the national debate on this issue would be forever changed. I'm looking at you, Bob Barr. "I thought it was a healthcare clinic."

[ColbertWatcher]

41. It is God's will. n/t

[LostInAnomie]

42. You don't get pregnant from anal, do you?

[maxrandb]

43. Hard to get a girl pregnant

when she's got a strap-on shoved up your arse!

:evilgrin:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

44. Or maybe getting extorted into paying their girlfriends to keep the love child a secret

and using public money to do it. A crafty and ambitious foreign agent could blackmail them and get them to divulge state secrets. Having serial sex sessions with a variety of women could put them in deep shit. Remember the Profumo scandal from the 1960s when the UK's Secretary of War was found to have had a sexual relationship with a woman who was also the mistress of a Soviet Spy? Supposedly, Profumo had discussed the United Kingdom's nuclear arsenal with her and there was speculation that the woman then told her secret agent lover.
