The fact that one doesn’t believe in science does not make it non-existent. There are many imbeciles in Congress, but there’s no reason to put them on a committee that has “Science” in its name. Another Boehner failure.
It’s not nice to mock insanity. That DOES make it hard to do ‘toons about most of this year’s (decade’s?) “conservative Republican” (yes, a few radical “lefties” too) candidates. There IS a place for “ornery” people, and differences of opinion, even strong ones, but pairing nuts with stupid isn’t a good combination for parties, or the country.
And even without any RNC support, Rep Akin’s will probably beat his pathetic Democrat challenger hands down. Tells you all you need to know about Democrat chances nationally this November.
So, Scott, is the “devoid of fact” the idea that Akin thinks there’s such a thing as legitimate or illegitimate rape? He does. That a lot of Republicans are bat-crap crazy and deny science? That’s all true. And even if you think you’re voting for a reasonable Republican, you’ll get the cruel, ignorant, superstitious, and insane ones too. The only rational act is to deny them all power until the party as a whole actually has a rational basis for governing.
Really, what does that matter how many? One is too many, and you should already know that. -- When a woman is raped, and becomes pregnant, it should be her choice. Not some dumbhead, idiotic male politician, not the church and not the morals society. It should be a medical decision supported by a licensed physician knowing the procedure. Not somebody in a back alley with a wire coat hanger.
Whats a matter ima this getting to close to your insecurities aka coulterguist style insanity for repubbys level again? These bobbin twins are a matched set of conservo-cratic punditry.
CBS News: “Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) is raising some eyebrows with a comment he made about the U.S. territory of Guam during a House Armed Services Committee hearing last Thursday.
In a discussion regarding a planned military buildup on the Pacific island, Johnson expressed some concerns about the plans to Adm. Robert Willard, head of the U.S. Pacific fleet.
”My fear is that the whole island will become so overly populated that it will tip over and capsize," Johnson said.
Funny, I’ve never heard any lib say that Johnson’s apparent lack on science, or his utter stupidity, is indicative of their entire party,. (Although it is)
Wow, Churchill, are YOU gullible if you think that was a literal statement. Although it doesnt surprise anyone that tea partiers tend to take things literally. Desperate much?
There IS a difference between reality and speech using metaphor, exaggeration, or simile. The problem is that too many of today’s “conservatives” can’t tell the difference. On either side, illogically leaping on a single word is stupid.
When Akin said “legitimate” rape, he obviously meant a rape that actually occurred from a criminal nature, and against the woman’s will. What was STUPID was when he went on to declare that in such a rape, the woman’s body can create miscarriage based on the “legitimacy” of her fertilization, or emotional state.
Knowing people who still live on Guam and others who have, it was the people of Guam who are getting concerned about their island nation (As a territory, it’s not quite a state, NOR a “nation”, but does have a “different” status than most people assume.) being totally taken over by the military that was of concern. Johnson was expressing concern for people who weren’t even his constituents, how silly of him to try to represent ALL Americans!
