What is it about Republican politicians and sex? They clearly aren't getting enough from their Stepford wives, or else they wouldn't be sucking guys off in airport toilet cubicles or banging the kind of ropey hookers that give slappers a bad name.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Here's the latest example. In his case, he clearly confuses God's will with a rapist's willy.:D:D

A Republican US senate candidate has said pregnancy caused by rape is something "God intended" and not a situation that justifies an abortion. [...] Rapists commit rape under instruction from God.

And old Mitt seems to be OK with that:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/oct/24/richard-mourdock-rape-remarks-romney

And he's confident that his deity abhors the rape he allows? More Epicurus needed.

Guardian wrote:

Mitt Romney's campaign has refused to withdraw his support from Richard Mourdock, the Republican Senate candidate in Indiana who claimed that pregnancies from rape are "something that God intended to happen".

In a press conference on Wednesday morning, Mourdock, stood by his comments, apologising only for people misinterpreting them. He said: "I said life is precious. I believe life is precious. I believe rape is a brutal act. It is something that I abhor. That anyone could come away with any meaning other than what I just said is regrettable, and for that I apologize. The apology – as I said before, roll this tape back – is if anybody misinterpreted what I said." He added: "I absolutely abhor violence. I abhor sexual violence. I abhor rape. And I'm confident God abhors it."

Amid pressure for their presidential candidate to publicly distance himself from Mourdock, the Romney campaign said that while he disagrees with Mourdock on when abortion should be allowed, he would not withdraw his support. Romney's press secretary Andrea Saul told journalists on the campaign plane that Romney "disagrees with Richard Mourdock, and Mr Mourdock's comments do not reflect Governor Romney's views", Buzzfeed reported. Saul added: "We disagree on the policy regarding exceptions for rape and incest but still support him."

Both Mourdock and Romney's campaign said that an advert Romney recorded endorsing Mourdock's Senate bid would not be pulled. "As senator, Richard will be the 51st vote to repeal and replace government-run healthcare. Richard will help stop the liberal Reid-Pelosi agenda. There's so much at stake. I hope you'll join me in supporting Richard Mourdock for US senate," Romney says in the ad. Other Republican politicians have publicly distanced themselves from Mourdock following his comments, made during a debate with Democrat Joe Donnelly and others on Tuesday.

New Hampshire senator Kelly Ayotte had been scheduled to campaign with Mourdock in Indiana, but her spokesman, Jeff Grappone, told the Associated Press that Ayotte disagrees with Mourdock's comments, which do not represent her views. Grappone said Ayotte will remain in New Hampshire. The Republican candidate for governor in Indiana, Mike Pence, said he "strongly disagree" with Mourdock and has urged him to apologise. In his press conference on Wednesday, Mourdock lamented his "less than fully articulate use of words".

"Humility is an important part of my faith," he said. "I am a much more humble person this morning because so many people mistook, twisted, came to misunderstand the points i was trying to make". During Tuesday's debate, Mourdock, who is anti-abortion except in cases where the mother's life is at risk, was asked about his stance on abortion where a woman has been raped. "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God," Mourdock said. "And, I think, even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."

Democrats seized on the comment and called upon Romney to withdraw his endorsement for Mourdock and pull his ad now airing in Indiana on behalf of the Senate candidate. "It is perplexing that he wouldn't demand to have that ad taken down," Obama campaign spokeswoman Jennifer Psaki told reporters. The campaign said President Obama found Mourdock's comments "outrageous and demeaning to women" and said the assertions were "a reminder that a Republican Congress working with a Republican president in Mitt Romney would feel that women should not be able to make choices about their own healthcare."

Romney was pro-choice as governor of Massachusetts, but is now anti-abortion except in certain cases. Vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan is opposed to abortion in all cases, with no exceptions – on the face of it a stronger stance than Mourdock. Mourdock did receive support from the national Republican senatorial committee. In a statement, its chairman, John Cornyn, said: "Richard and I, along with millions of Americans – including even Joe Donnelly – believe that life is a gift from God. To try and construe his words as anything other than a restatement of that belief is irresponsible and ridiculous," Cornyn said.

Mourdock is not the first Republican to find himself in hot water over abortion beliefs. In August, Todd Akin, Republican Senate nominee from Missouri, said that pregnancy as a result of "legitimate rape" is rare as "the female body has ways to try and shut that whole thing down". Just last week Republican congressman Joe Walsh of Illinois told reporters "you can't find one instance" where it has been necessary to perform an abortion due to the risk to the mother's life due to medical advances. Medical experts note that there are some cases where the only option in the case of complications sustained during pregnancy is to abort the foetus.

The Indianapolis Star reported that after the debate, Donnelly, the Democratic senate candidate, "shook his head over" Mourdock's comments. "I don't know any God who would ever intend something like that," Donnelly reportedly said.

"Humility is an important part of my faith. I am humble enough to accept that I was right, and people just didn't understand what I was saying."

A good article by one of those evil bra-burning feminazis over on that commie rag the Guardian:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/oct/25/real-republican-party-rape-platform?

The real Republican rape platform
It's no accident GOP candidates can't stop talking about rape: the party view is women are mere vessels subject to men's will


Mainstream GOP leaders, including Mitt Romney, campaign with conservative activists who lament the fact that women today no longer fully submit to the authority of their husbands and fathers, mourn a better time when you could legally beat your wife, and celebrate the laws of places like Saudi Arabia where men are properly in charge. Senate Republicans, including Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan and "legitimate rape" Todd Akin, blocked the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. And Ryan and Akin joined forces again to propose "personhood" legislation in Washington, DC that would define a fertilized egg as a person from the moment sperm meets egg, outlawing abortion in all cases and many forms of contraception, and raising some serious questions about how, exactly, such a law would be enforced.

Greg Abbott, Texas Attorney General, Threatens To Arrest International Elections Observers. :eek:

"It may be a criminal offense for OSCE's representatives to maintain a presence within 100 feet of a polling place's entrance," he writes. "Failure to comply with these requirements could subject the OSCE's representatives to criminal prosecution for violating state law." Such a restriction makes election monitoring highly difficult.

Meanwhile, there's a lot of evidence to suggest that there's quite a lot of subtle, and no to subtle, voter intimidation and deception going on. No doubt coincidentally, this appears to happen preferentially in poor areas and areas in which blacks and hispanics live -- all three of which tend to vote Democrat.

One need not point out the hypocrisy of the many US Constitutional fetishists who are members of the Republican Party, who hold in fairly chilly contempt, the polity that the Constitution prescribes.

No.

It's kinda bad that I remember Linda McMahon from my days watching WWE now.

And trust me, you're not really missing anything with not watching WWE any more. They've made it so kid-friendly and PG over the last few years due to Linda's campaigns and deals with toy manufacturers that matches have actually been stopped because someone started bleeding. Bleeding! This is what most matches back in the day used to end up as:

Also, Chyna now does hardcore porn. Take my advice, don't watch it. Apart from when she pushes her boobs together and they look like Cartman's eyes which is kinda funny, it's way more depressing than erotic.
