Rick Perry.

Unsurprised.

Dismal.

Just another fucktard Texan with vagina envy and hostility from the constant frustration of repressing his craving for big hard dicks.

Frankly, it's embarrassing.

NOT IN FRONT OF THE EUROPEANS, RICK!  GODDAMMIT!

Too late. America^(TM) has shown its obese, pimply, Jesus-tattooed ass for DECADES now. The damage is irrevocably DONE.

I find it a very bad sign that our politicians are reduced to running out the clock in order to try to stop bad legislation. I'm glad she did it, but wow.... it really says something horrible about the political situation in this country

This. Anyone care to take a shot at explaining how exactly filibustering is democratic? It got used for good here, but as has been noted it has and will be again used to do at least as much harm.

I guess both sides see it as an integral part of the system regardless. Just sounds like screaming long enough until you get what you want to me.

Hey Cain,

You can't ever win, you can only hope to stave off defeat for another day.

Upbeat mood for the moment, but I'm not sure about this. I guess it depends on what you call "winning". If you're debating the same issues repeatedly, then yeah, that's not a win. How about when you get what you want and then move the debate forward? I'd say the civil rights movement would be a good example here. It's not perfect but coming out as straight up racist now will alienate more voters (generally) than it will gain you. Net result would be that the change is accepted as a new norm.

I'm thinking the trick is to always keep pushing, and push big. Seems to make it easier to hold political gains?

I know I'm wrong here somewhere, just not sure where or why.

"The target area is only two meters wide. It's a small thermal exhaust port, right below the main port. The shaft leads directly to the reactor system. A precise hit will start a chain reaction which should destroy the station. Only a precise hit will set off a chain reaction. The shaft is ray-shielded, so you'll have to use proton torpedoes. "


ACCURATE INTERCOURSE, FTW.

This has been the same debate that featured another Texas legislative genius dismissing rape pregnancies because women who have been raped—"accurately" raped, I suppose will be the new term for it—have access to "what's called rape kits where a woman can get cleaned out."

[LMNO]

We need to start a betting pool as to what the next fucked up adjective will be when discussing rape.

So far, we have

Legitimate
Gift-From-God
Honest
Emergency
Easy
Forcible
Enjoyable

and now,

Accurate

And now rape kits that clean women out.

They've got this big fire hose, see...

[Doktor Howl]

Aha!  Found the actual quote:

"We have funded what's called rape kits that will help the woman, basically clean her out. And then hopefully that will alleviate that."

And here she is:

Also worth mentioning:

Laubenberg had opposed an amendment to make an exception for victims of rape and incest.

What bugs me about this is that the reason Roe Vs Wade was even enacted into law was that folks were getting abortions anyway and the results were fucking horrific.

you can't make abortion go away. you just make it more dangerous. And damned if those "pro-life" nuts would help kids orphaned by their moms who cannot afford another kid having an unsafe abortion, or actually giving out free contraception, or sex ed that works to prevent abortion.

fucking assholes.

The whole point here, Pixie, isn't about the act of abortion.

It's about punishing you dirty, dirty womenfolk for having sex all unregulated and shit.  This is one of two reasons they oppose contraception, as well.

The other reason is that they assume that teenagers will be fucking until they get speed burns, if contraception is made available.  Sort of like how they started butt-chugging by the millions, etc, etc.

But it's mostly the punishment thing.  They WANT women to die in botched abortions, because you're DIRTY AND WRONG because you have bits.

I shut a pro-lifer up yesterday when I brought that up.

"Would you want your daughter to be subjected to a back alley coat hanger abortion? She'll probably contract sepsis, not tell you because she would be afraid, and then die. Yeah, now THAT is MY American Dream!"

It's because if we control our sex organs, we might not have sex with white  men and pop out white babies.

[Doktor Howl]

It's because if we control our sex organs, we might not have sex with white men and pop out white babies.

I'd amend that to:  "It's because if we control our sex organs, we might not do as we're told."
