why be against birth control if you are against abortion? Just cannot understand the thought process there.

12. The only "good" sex is for procreation; fun sex without consequences is against God's will.

If you are married and having sex with your husband, you better be willing to crank out babies along with it, and if you are single and having sex, you are a harlot who deserves the punishment of being an unwed mother.

Akin goofed, Ryan will suffer. It's not about what he said...it's that he didn't say it in the appropriate code that those, wink-wink, nudge-nudge, in the know understand.

She can't even speak in coherent sentences.

At least we can understand Ryan's bizarre Randian outlook on things. (The words, anyway.)

He'll get longer good press...interesting to note that his crowds are smaller than Palin's, but the media is acting like he's the second coming.

14. Off hand, I'd say that Romney made a better choice

At least Mr. Ryan has something between his ears. Mrs. Palin has demonstrated time and again that she does not. Quite frankly, I was surprise when she wrote notes on her hand. I didn't know she was literate.

Of course, that doesn't say a lot about Ryan.

17. There is NO ONE qualified in the GOP

Just look at the caliber of presidential candidates they just ran in the primiaries. With goobers like Perry, Santorum, Bachman, and Cain being the best they could scrape up for the job of president, is it any wonder they're left with such poor choices for Veep?

18. McCain and Rmoney both got what they wanted...

... if what they wanted was to lose.

How serious was Romney about winning anyway? Wouldn't he have had squeeky clean taxes?

Wouldn't he have prepped for at least the most basic of questions?

Wouldn't he have vetted his running mate?

Wouldn't he have a campaign strategy other than running from himself and Ryan?
