		<description>Robert &#124; August 20, 2012, 2:29 pm. ---------- Wow. So this guy is dumb as a box of rocks, but YOU can &#039;explain what he really meant&#039;? Are you his campaign manager? What gives you this special power to explain this level of stupidity? Personal experience? Also, just exactly how &#039;common&#039; is it for women to claim rape where no rape occurred? What is your source for this completely unsupported non-factoid? Let&#039;s see the studies and the data to corroborate it. And while we&#039;re on the subject of unsupported non-factoids, who in the hell ever told you &#039;women produce negative hormones to prevent pregnancy&#039;?!?!? That is without a doubt as DUMB a statement as Akins original statement! Clearly Robert, you are letting your partisanship blind you to reality here. And you really, REALLY need  a refresher course in basic human biology.</description>

		<description>Robert, No one can produce negative hormones to prevent a pregnancy. So what Akin said was VERY bad.</description>

		<description>ROBERT - Really, you think what Todd Akin meant &quot;is that many women claim &#039;rape&#039; after a night of consensual sex, in which case they are not really raped. That has happened often.&quot; So, that&#039;s what you think and therefore what Todd meant? Many women? Was that off the top of you head? So where&#039;s the science? Cutting him slack doesn&#039;t make him less bankrupt. It simply makes you like him.</description>

		<description>REDRYDER - Sadly for you, it&#039;s not murder and you don&#039;t have the mojo to change reality, nor do you have the substance or credibility to back it up. So, your cute little analogies are just that, cute and little, without character and without substance.</description>

		<description>CommonSenseParty - It&#039;s very clear where your partisanship lies - letting Akin off the hook and then comparing to ... some uncited things Biden and Obama said. By saying you know what Akin was trying to say, you&#039;re both implying it was something other than what he said and that it was something less stupid. So, he has substance and this was just a matter of style? Wrong. Do any homework? Or do you simply adopt the same strategy everywhere? Give the &quot;conservative&quot; the slack in your rush to score your drone points by invoking the adolescent anti-Obama argument -- &quot;oh huh, the&#039;re just as stupid.&quot; CommonSenseParty? So, that&#039;s as joke, irony?</description>

		<description>RedRyder, I understand you feel righteousness, but you have no credible proof of your claims about Planned Parenthood. I know where you get your numbers, and you have chosen to quote what is belief and fiction -- what you want to be true rather than what is true. Meanwhile, you push to eliminate the source of healthcare for millions of women who wouldn&#039;t get it otherwise. This is not righteousness. By using fictional numbers, you&#039;ve made this story about you, nothing else, YOUR opinions, which is not righteousness at all, but shallowness and ordinary partisanship</description>

		<description>Not as monstrous and murderous as the history of the United States.&quot; -- Jim

_______________

Jim, how many children has the United States monstrously and murderously killed over the years? Is it anywhere close to the 6 million plus abortions by PP (aver 55 million total) done since 1973? You are saying the United States has murdered that many children -- ever? You have to cite some kind of evidence if you are going to say a thing like this.</description>

		<description>Akin&#039;s comment was about as stupid as Bidens and Obama&#039;s.  I know what he meant, but how he said it was stupid.  If you don&#039;t like it, don&#039;t vote for him..  It&#039;s that easy.</description>

		<description>What a turn around since I&#039;m sure PP was an ardent supporter of Akin BEFORE he made these comments and they are no doubt leading contributors to many GOP office seekers. (Where is that sarcasm emoticon?) Why does this aspect of the story warrant a notice at all let alone a headline? it would be like running a headline that says &quot;Sarah Palin doesn&#039;t want Obama re-elected.&quot; DUH!</description>

		<description>The idea of staying out of the way of a woman&#039;s decision to murder her unborn child makes as much sense as standing by watching her murder her brother and doing nothing about it.</description>
