So, was I just dreaming, or are those stupid GOP debates finally over now? While I certainly didn’t subject myself to watching (instead, I subjected myself to listening to SU muddle through another game where they won despite playing like crap; they had better get their act back together, or it will be another disappointing March), consensus has it that Rick Sanatorium blew it, and Mitt’s the Man, once again. A shame, really.
Speculation also has it that the whole “deny birth control to women to preserve religious freedom” thing isn’t helping Mitt and the boys with women. My question is, isn’t it hurting them with men, too? I mean, apart from a few nutjobs out there (male and female alike), I don’t know of too many guys who would want to deny women birth control. Mostly because we all know the men aren’t gonna take responsibility for it, and who the hell wants a kid (unless you want a kid, in which case I would have to remind you that they are nearly are tiring as puppies are – but the puppy pain only lasts a few months, while the baby pain lasts for years and then they start hating you and getting snotty and want to borrow the car)?
Oh, sure, it’s more important an issue to women, I grant you that. Dirtbag men can just walk away and never be seen again. And they’re gonna vote Republican anyway. Those of us who aren’t the scum of the earth, but actually hope to engage in a little sex every now and again are more than happy to let women make sure they aren’t gonna get pregnant as long as we don’t really have to do anything on our end of things.
So, anyway, I still think this is all a lose-lose for these dummies. Except, once they get nominated, they won’t mention this shit anymore, because they’ve already suckered the mouthbreathers, and the media will conveniently forget all about it, too.
As for the GOP convention, I hope nobody has enough delegates, and a hero swoops in to save the day in a brokered convention. I think a ticket of Sara Palin and Oily Taints would be a winner.
Caribou Taints 2012!
Ooh, my dream ticket: Sarah and Oily. That would be too much fun.
I agree that men should be, and probably are, as much concerned about birth control as women. That’s why the people most against it are celibate priests (if you don’t count molesting kids as affecting one’s celibacy).
But, I have to give it to the Dems for turning the religious freedom argument into a birth control debate and leaving the Right scrambling and trying to push the idea that religious freedom is absolute, an argument that will make for some really absurd positions.
Typically good story by Matt Taibi.
A man from Juneau, Alaska, has filed suit with the state’s Division of Elections to bar President Obama from appearing on that state’s ballot on the basis that the President is a “Mulatto”, and “the race of ‘Negro’ or ‘Mulatto’ had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution.”
Gordon Warren Epperly, who lists his address as a P.O. Box, filed the nomination petition objection on February 21, 2012.
According to the complaint:
Barack Hussein Obama II, Aka Barack Hussein Obama, Aka Barack H. Obama has the race status of being a “Mulatto.” Barack Obama’s father (Barack Hussein Obama I) was a full blood Negro being born Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya and raised in the Colony of Kenya. Barack Obama’s mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) was a white Caucasian woman being born in Wichita, Kansas on November 29, 1942 and raised in the state of Washington and in the State of Hawaii.
Therefore:
As stated above, for an Individual to be a Candidate for the Office of President of the United States, the Candidate must meet the qualifications set forth in the United States Constitution and one of those qualifications is that the Candidate shall be a “natural born Citizen” of the United States. As Barack Hussein Obama II is of the “Mulatto” race, his status of citizenship is founded upon the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Before the [purported] ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the race of “Negro” or “Mulatto” had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution.

Can’t argue with that.
