Hab thinks this is OHG...

Back to the thread... the guy is a super douche and hope that he never has a female relative that has to go through the horror of rape. He won't step down so he lost his campaign already. What a retard.

Let's not destroy the Republican Party because of one person. If that was the case, the Dems would have imploded a long time ago.

Is Nancy still talking to ghosts?

Yes, about one week ago she mentioned she's still doing it. The ghosts of famous feminists who talk to her in the White House and tell her how great she is, and presumably not to get that one last botox injection or her face will fall off.

I wonder if the Republican Party can simply expel this guy and set up another person to run in his place---if they do it today? He's obviously trying to drag it out to hurt them, or because his ego is so huge he doesn't care if he does.

Your talking points memo is about a decade out of date, Robert Byrd has been dead for years. You need to update your shit, son.

Even if Robert Byrd was still alive and in the Senate, I'm not sure what relevance his being in the KKK in the '40s has to do with modern women's rights and abortion policy. Did KKK members constantly rape and impregnate women, and the ghost of Robert Byrd pushed through legislation trying to get them off the hook? Where are you even going with that?

It has nothing to do with women's rights, and everything to do with certain folks trying to depict this as a feature of Republicans alone, rather than admit that there are idiots and scum on both sides of the aisle.

Which is what you do every time a Republican screws up

GOP official says God chooses to bless raped women with pregnancy

The state of Missouri has been in the national spotlight recently because of comments made by Republican Congressman Todd Akin who claimed that raped women rarely get pregnant. After his statements hit the Internet, immediate outrage burned across the country. Akin later apologized, but his statements have rekindled a nationwide debate. One that republicans desperately do not want to have, lest they alienate a wide majority of female voters.

Sharon Barnes, a high ranking state Republican, came to the defense of her conservative colleague who she believes only "phrased it (his statement) badly."

Barnes was quoted by The New York Times saying, "abortion is never an option." Barnes went on to biblically claim that, "If God has chosen to bless this person [the rape victim] with a life, you don’t kill it."

Barnes did not elaborate on her views for post-pregnancy care, or costs.

Barnes has been a figure in conservative St. Louis politics for years, and currently holds all of the following titles according to her Linkedin profile:

1.President of The 2nd Congressional District Republican Women
2.President of The Republican Women's Club of St. Louis
3.Vice President, Membership Committee at National Federation Of Republican Women
4.Vice President of The Missouri Federation of Republican Women
5.Chairman of The St. Louis City Republican Central Committee
6.State Committeewoman, 4th Senate District at Missouri Republican Party
7.Committeewoman, 24th Ward at Missouri Republican Party
8.Volunteer at GOP Missouri Republican Party

As her comments become more known the GOP will attempt to spin Barnes' clout in the party as little, when in reality she is a big player behind the scenes.
