1. IOKIYAAR nt

[Wolf Frankula]

2. He Opposes Abortion for Other People

Like a good conservative.

Wolf

[erronis]

3. Or he thinks himself like a god - he can screw around as much as he wants

And feel no after effects.

To wife, girlfriends, one-night stands, unwilling objects of his "affections":
"What, you're pregnant? Hie thee to the doctor At The End Of The Road."

To all others:
"What sluts. You deserve the worst for your behavior."

[NewJeffCT]

9. of course

the only moral abortions are the ones he pays for.

[Plucketeer]

4. Will someone PLEASE help this well-meaning congressdolt?

All he really needs is some of that GOP abstinence learnin' they love to push!

[BlueJazz]

5. You mean a woman actually had sex with that thing.??

[AngryDem001]

6. This cro-magnon twerp is a member of

"The only moral abortion is MY abortion club" AKA "Do as I say, not as I do."

[Ghost of Tom Joad]

7. Gee, he really looks like

Uncle Fester

[BlancheSplanchnik]

14. I thought the same thing!

I just couldn't bring myself to besmirch Uncle Fester's good name.

[brewens]

8. Newt Gingrich once said, "conservatives have the courage to be hypocritical." I think this is

what he had in mind. They know what's right, and even if they don't practice what they preach, they are still correct to try and force others too. He said it. I can't see any other way to interpret that.

I can see applying that kind of logic to situations where there is a clear right and wrong. As if I were once a heroin addict and telling people they shouldn't do it. Having learned my lesson, I wouldn't feel to hypocritical about something like that. This asshat needs to STFU though!

[3catwoman3]

18. "...the courage to be hypocritical."

What kind of mental gymnastics does it take to be able to form a thought like that? Gingrich has said a lot of weird stuff over the years, but this is a peach.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

24. Courage? Wow, what heroes they are. I hear they're also

compassionate.

[brewens]

31. It's like being fiscally conservative when their guy is in office. Not a freakin' chance! But when

it's a Democrat, they try to force our guy to cut. I guess to them, it's better for the country to not have both parties racking up the debt so fast, and they are patriots for at least trying to hold the line while out of office.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

34. I don't think most Rs care one bit about the debt.

I think it's just that they don't like a lot of the things Dems want to spend money on. You know, like to benefit anyone but the already well-off?

[brewens]

35. Ya got that right! If it's not looting that benefits them and their buddies, it can't be tolerated.

[redruddyred]

52. yes we saw this clearly with dubya

always enuff money for wars, not enough to feed the poor.

[WillyT]

10. HUGE K & R !!! - THANK YOU !!!

[progressoid]

11. Family Values!!

[liberal N proud]

12. You know all that social repression that the republicans demand is only for everyone but them

RIGHT?

The rules only apply to everyone but me syndrome!

[Kali]

13. seems pretty typical

and you just know it was HIS choice, not the women's. THAT is what all of this crap is really about.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

15. ding.

Nothing else to say.

Well, one more word about him:

scumbag.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

25. Well, ya know, the little women need their lives managed by one of the superior gender.

What was that show called? Sperm Squirter Knows Best?

[awoke_in_2003]

45. Yep. nt

[SoapBox]

16. Just another PukeBagger hypocrite.

...asshole.

[Maedhros]

17. This guy is an unknown back-bencher with no power.

Why are we wasting time with him?

[pennylane100]

36. We have to waste our time with morons like him.

They do not deserve a free ride. We must try to make his life as uncomfortable as possible. If only Keith were here to nominate him as the "Worst Person in the World"

[Maedhros]

40. Why is the front page of DU always dominated by some RW nutjob saying stupid shit?

Why can't it have a post about a Democrat doing something good?

I disagree that our focus should be on mocking Republicans. They don't care what we say, and we have no chance of changing how they behave.

However, Democrats should care about what we say, and since we are their base, we have a chance of changing how they behave.

I find these kinds of posts to be the lowest common denominator of political discussion - go to any ostensibly "liberal" site and it's the same story. I just don't see them serving any purpose other than click bait.

[Kali]

46. so just put EarlG on ignore

some of us enjoy ridiculing the stupidity, forgive us

[3catwoman3]

19. Oh, but surely those were...

...D&Cs that were therapeutically necessary, right? Sure they were.

[Ilsa]

20. The asshole can't admit he's PRO-CHOICE!

"I'm against all abortion. Unless my wife or girlfriend needs one. Or two. But the rest of you women needing abortions are whores."

[Saviolo]

57. Not a new phenomenon

I posted a link further down to an article originally from... Atlantic Monthly, I think? From the year 2000 called "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion."

[Oakenshield]

21. Odd.

He bears a striking resemblance to Donald Sutherland. At least to me anyway.

[47of74]

22. He's from the rules/regs/etc are for OTHER people.

Just like so many Republicans.

[randr]

23. He is an exemplary Republican

Should be the poster boy for all right wingers.

[jonno99]

26. Typical politician... nt

[Enthusiast]

30. Republican politician. You don't hear Democrats going around trying to restrict access to abortion.

[jonno99]

37. Of course not. But I have less & less confidence in

politicians - regardless of party leanings - doing the right thing. Invariably, their primary purpose is to further entrench their base of power.

We fool ourselves if we think this is a republican problem.

[Enthusiast]

38. Attacking women's rights is a Republican issue. Close to 100%.

[jonno99]

39. Sure - that is how they solidify their base. Just don't dool yourself into thionking

that dems don't play the same power games.

More and more these days I find less and less reason to trust any politician. Wellstone was the last one I trusted.

[Enthusiast]

50. I can't remember a single time a Democrat voted to restrict access to abortion.

Maybe there have been instances but it would be the rare exception. Hell, Republicans have even been trying to restrict access to birth control.

In conclusion, Republicans and Democrats are not the same on women's issues. Not even on the same planet.

[jonno99]

54. Agreed. My point was simply about the hypocrisy of politicians in general... nt

[tabasco]

27. Way to go, Tennessee.

Are you proud to have this dirtbag representing you?

Get a brain, morans.

[Initech]

28. These are the very hypocrites Jesus warned us about.

[Enthusiast]

29. Typical Republican mired in hypocrisy

[TheCowsCameHome]

32. That image needs a condom over it.

Yuck

[TBF]

33. You can't make this shit up. K&R nt

[shellinaya]

41. What is wrong with the women...

...who are having sex with this ugly man? Really, women need to be more picky about who they have sex with, especially since he seems to be impregnating so many of them. He looks like a toe with a face painted on it.

[Scurrilous]

42. K & R

[IronLionZion]

43. He's still anti-choice if he's pressuring women into abortion

[awoke_in_2003]

44. ...

[panfluteman]

47. One More Time Now, Let's Hear the Old Refrain: SURPRISED???

Really now - what can you expect from a guy who looks like Uncle Fester from the Addams Family? The guy is caught in his own self-made trap of shame, sin and guilt for what he has done, and he's trying to assuage his own personal guilt by advocating for abortion bans, and making us pay the price.

But hey, wait a minute - if his Lord and Savior Jesus paid the ultimate ransom for all his sins on the cross at Calvary according to his fundamentalist theology, why in the heck does he even need us, the American public, to be the scapegoats to assuage his guilt? Didn't Jesus already let him off the hook? Could someone please explain that one to me?

All this reminds me of a comical discussion I had with some young Romanians on the beach on the Black Sea coast, in the early '90s, right after the fall of communism. I told this young Romanian guy the story about Jimmy Swaggart, and how he got caught with his pants down seeing prostitutes, and how he made his tearful, lip biting apology on national TV saying, "My Lord, I have sinned against you!" The guy's jaw dropped, and he stared at me in incredulous disbelief for the longest time. When he finally spoke, I'll never forget the words that came out of his mouth: "...but I thought that America was an advanced nation!"

[Cha]

48. the only thing he's "pro" is hypocrite.

[AtheistCrusader]

49. Pardon me while I drop this here.

[Lunabell]

51. Monster.

He is a really fucked up monster. The likes of which makes me shudder.

[titanicdave]

53. So Typical of

a rethuglican asshole using the very old time phrase, "do as I say, not as I do"........what a hypocritical asshat....

[Arkana]

55. He also looks like a thumb. Or a penis.

Can't decide which.

[Saviolo]

56. The more things change...

...the more they stay the same.

From waaaay back in 2000, "The Only Moral Abortion is My Abortion."

Tales of staunch anti-choice activists getting abortions, as though theirs were the only reasonable exception.
