I almost feel like the best move for the Obama camp is to sit back and let the Romney campaign continue to tear itself apart. Anything they say now would just distract people from the actually insane things going on with the Republicans, and give conservative pundits something to pick apart.

Ambivalent campaigning's only really good at getting people to stay home.

I don't mean for the entire campaign, I just mean right now.

And again, I don't think the idea is that they sit on their hands, it's that they find other shit to talk about while the Republicans stumble over themselves. Obama talking about the price of college WHILE the GOP is trying to play this "JUST KIDDING, DOUG! I'm not kidding, Jemaine" routine is essentially a twofer.

So the guy that wants to be Vice President of the United States, when asked if rape victims should be allowed by the government to abort their rape pregnancies without being thrown in jail for murder, said "The method of conception doesn't matter"

There's a million news articles about this, especially given the Todd Akin controversy.

No sign of it on CNN, NBC, Fox, or any of the other places though. They have to devote their article space to talking about Lyndon B Johnson's views on barbecue, and the oldest facebook user.

Still plenty of time for it. But I wouldn't expect it to appear on Fox.

I really don't think we've heard the last on the subject. It's going to dog the Republicans all the way up to the election. And then pretty much go away for the next two years.

Via twitter: I'm assuming that Paul Ryan thinks getting viciously assaulted in the face with a baseball bat is just "another form of dentistry".

While it is a position I disagree with, it is one I respect. I think Thad even said something about it elsewhere. If you really think the fetus is a human being then of course the method of conception doesn't matter; taking an innocent life won't undo the rape.

"I do not believe that just because you're opposed to abortion, that that makes you pro-life. In fact, I think in many cases, your morality is deeply lacking if all you want is a child born but not a child fed, not a child educated, not a child housed. And why would I think that you don't? Because you don't want any tax money to go there. That's not pro-life. That's pro-birth. We need a much broader conversation on what the morality of pro-life is." - Sister Joan Chittister

Somebody give that nun a goddamned medal.

One big enough to melt down and buy food for orphans for a year. All the orphans.

According to a retired OB/GYN, things are worse today for abortion providers than they were before Roe v. Wade.

Mississippi takes one step closer to eliminating safe, affordable access to abortion.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #313 on:** October 02, 2012, 10:19:43 AM »

So... uh, according to Todd Akin, apparently Abortion Providers give abortions to women who aren't even pregnant.

Thad · « **Reply #314 on:** October 02, 2012, 10:56:02 AM »

Oh Todd Akin, you are the gift that keeps on giving.

Yeah I find it harder every time not to go with the "He knows he gets money every time he says something hilarious" explanation.

(Which would make him literally a stand-up comedian.)

But we knew lots of US citizens were willing to accept, condone, or encourage torture since 2001.

I am a little bit surprised that it's specifically female genital mutilation that made the list though.

God, now I can't not think of an episode of 24 where Jack Bauer violently rapes a woman, ties her up, puts a Plan B just out of reach and then sits down in front of her and quietly says, "Let's talk about where you hid the bomb."

I suspect ratings would top the Super Bowl.
