163. As Spock from Star Trek would say "Flawless Logic".

Sat Aug 25, 2012, 04:22 PM

Aug 2012

Just too bad the underlying principle Mr. Akin uses is not supported by fact but that at least shows there could be a logical outcome. A Republican could never think of that on his/her own process. Watch out some Republican could read this satire and borrow satire for a program the same way they embraced "self deportation".

Sorry, but words have meaning SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #22

I don't think it was that gross an exaggeration demwing Aug 2012 #26

Pointing out an obvious inaccuracy is not chastisement n/t SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #28

Sure it was, you completely came in here chastising people demwing Aug 2012 #63

Nope, didn't chastise anyone SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #149

that's not what he said in quotes treestar Aug 2012 #159

calling rape "just another form of conception" certainly is condoning magical thyme Aug 2012 #62

attack me all you want, but that ISNT what he actually said CabCurious Aug 2012 #97

So now you are defending Paul Ryan? 99Forever Aug 2012 #107

of course im not defending ryan... but i see you're stalking and flaming again CabCurious Aug 2012 #108

That's it. That's exactly what Ryan is saying. yardwork Aug 2012 #105

yes, that's exactly it on the money CabCurious Aug 2012 #109

Who defended him? SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #142

Personally, I don't think it's an exaggeration so much as amplification. JohnnyRingo Aug 2012 #128

'without exaggerating'? xxqqqzme Aug 2012 #144

Yes, exaggeration SickOfTheOnePct Aug 2012 #145

I think the point was more about raising the rapist's child. xtraxritical Aug 2012 #30

I would again point you to the context of what he said. tonybgood Aug 2012 #35

He isn't defending rape. He's saying it's irrelevant in matters of abortion (in his WRONG view) CabCurious Aug 2012 #40

If rape is "irrelevant", then why punish the rapist? tonybgood Aug 2012 #52

Maybe that's why Ryan thinks treestar Aug 2012 #116

30% Iris Aug 2012 #133

He didn't actually say it was another method of conception in quotes treestar Aug 2012 #113
