Red (state) alert!

Duck and cover, Democrats!

The cover story in today's New York Times Magazine bleats about the possible end of "Republican America."

The last time the pundits declared the Grand Old Party moribund we got Richard Nixon!

Comments

McCheneyCain '09 would be much worse than Nixon! And heck, we already have Pryor and Boozeman.

From the hear no evil, speak no evil department:

BHO over HDRC in Texas.

I seem to remember a certain dress stainer saying if someone lost Texas, then she would quit.

Also, the Hilldog! ain't paying her bills.

I know Sidney Blumenthal argues that the end of Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy" may well be at an end. He argues the GOP has become a "regional party of the South and in the future, Republicans can only hold their base by asserting their conservatism, which alienates the rest of the country. More than ever, the Republicans are dependent upon white evangelical voters in the South and sparsely populated Rocky Mountain states. The Republican condition, its much-touted 'big ten' has nearly collapsed."
But the Democrats have to prove Blumenthal is correct. Can they do that? I don't know. Will Rogers has proven to be more right than proven wrong.

This won't help a certain advocate of change:

"Look, I got two daughters ... I don't want them punished with a baby."

Babies as punishment?

Red - You do yourself no favors by acting like that.

below is the entire quote:
<<<<<<<
"Look, I got two daughters - 9 years old and 6 years old," he said. "I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at age 16, so it doesn't make sense to not give them information
<<<<

And one other Obama quote from the same politico link:

***But politicians must trust women to make the right decisions for themselves, he said. ***

<<<<<<<

Still doesn't change the statement that a baby is some sort of punishment.

Oh my Red. seems you've enjoyed having a penis for too long (not to be confused with too long of a penis). Were you changing diapers and burping a baby at 16? How many times did you enjoy morning sickness when you were 15? Too bad you can't say "Oh the baby's turning and it's really hurting my nuts!"

I think all your penis has done for you is give you the sense
of entitlement that you can dictate how a woman should feel/think/value anything that
befalls her & dictate how she regards her body.

Just remember until Air Jesus sweeps you up, up, and away the bible says we are put here to toil, sweat, and suffer because a talking animal conned a woman into eating a piece of fruit some 6000, 8000 or 10,000 years ago depending upon which brand of crazy you buy into.

P.S. staining dresses or panties is fun!
.

It should not be governments decision/business... except to help inform students via education and provide all options via health care.

Intentionally refusing to inform young women how to avoid or quickly deal with a disease is punishment.
Intentionally forcing a woman to stay pregnant against her will is punishment.

Our government cannot stop spending over a trillion bucks a year on mass world genocidal killing of innocents.. How on earth does anyone think our government can or should even try make women stay pregnant? Radical Christian Republicans and radical Islamics have far more in common with each other than those who prefer to live under a Democracy.

If a girl gets pregnant she had better take care of herself and the baby.


Help me out here chasv-

"If a girl gets pregnant she had better take care of herself and the baby."

Are you saying the daddy, the one who stained the egg should not be a
participant in taking care? Where's his role in this scheme of Christian
punishment?
.

Not a sense of entitlement, just the perspective of a person lucky enough to have been "chosen" to allow to live since I was born after January 1973.

I can't say the same for the close to 50 million who weren't allowed to do so.

I keep saying over n over, the wingnuts are not pro-life, they are pro-birth..........
after birth they don't give a fig about that baby.

...until that baby herself gets pregnant.

If a woman has an abortion, there's blood on one person's hands.

But we've all got blood on our hands from Iraq. Each and every one of us, Republicans and conservatives especially -- are guilty of murder for the innocent women and children we've slain over there.

God Damn America for killing innocent people in the name of God.

From the first moment I started reading/posting on blogs, it's been the same right-wing abortion crap over and over and over... The people may change but their lines never change. I've begun to wonder if they realize how silly and ineffective their redundant crap is...probably not. All that seems to matter is the number of times they get to witness to someone, anyone, just how godly/self righteous they are...especially compared to us heathen Choice people. And it's ironic as hell that these same 'people' tend to be the biggest warmongers and the biggest crybabies when it comes to government programs that would extend healthcare to America's children...it's like our children are a minor detail in their 'godly' plans.

I know the Arkansas Red's of the world aren't going to change; I just wish they'd come up with some new material...because they're boring the hell out of me.

I NEVER underestimate the Republicans.

And, as a Hillary supporter I'm calling for Obama to step aside...for the good of, well, whatever works. I believe the Republicans are going to eat him alive. They've already tried their best on Hillary...she gave em indigestion and beat em.

I'd also prefer not to hear another Obama speech about working with the Republicans. He's either delusional, lying to get elected (which I like) or he's already forgotten the last seven years.

But regardless...I'm voting for a Dem if I have to write one in.

elwood, of course the man has to do his part.
A female must not spread her legs till she is married!
We are responsible for our own bodies, i.e. to not get pregnant 'till you are married!
Abortion is murder, murder of an inocent, helpless child.
Man is a free moral agent.
You, we, are not animals. We were made in the image of God.

chazv, How about if the girl didn't spread her legs herself, but had some help from a rapist?
and if that same girl was impregnated by a man she didn't love or even know, now what???

Chasv, the words you have spoken (or written) are immortal.

You are a freakin' genius.

Imagine, those words from someone who is too stupid to pour water out of his boots.

Why, oh, why did your mother get pregnant with you? Shoulda kept her legs together, but no, she had to go and spread them and the result was the gift of you to the world.

Sheesh!!!!

Trouble is chasv, females have been spreading their legs before marriage since the first hottie walked out of a cave. And it's not all their fault....if you love me, you'll let me...still works pretty good. Nice Republican girls have had as many abortions as Democrat girls, so this problem visits both sides. If they laid the Bush twins end to end........it wouldn't surprise me.

If God invented everything, he must a pretty horny old higher power. And maybe it was God who taught doctors how to end unwanted pregnancies.....ever think of it that way? I told my daughters that getting pregnant by accident was stupid and would let the whole world know that they were stupid. And so far that line of reasoning has worked.

If one of them came home tomorrow telling me a sad story about too much Jäger and a cute boy from Clarksville, I'd still love them and we'd have to sit down and have a serious discussion about her having a baby or getting an abortion. It would be their choice based on their assessment of their ability to raise a child at this point in their life.

If Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. can talk to us like an adult about race, we can talk to our kids like an adult about the responsibilities of having sex. And I totally agree with The Levee......the Iraq War for Oil has put blood on all our hands.

It's no wonder so many christians are on psych meds.
One time charlieV is saying nothing happens unless it's god's will
then we get the above post which contradicts all his previous posts about god's will.

I'm sure there is clever way to spin charlesV doublespeak. However my pulsoxy is low tonite. That's my excuse.

ARed, had you ever considered the consequences of those 50,000,000* aborted souls?
Most would have been born to minority women meaning instead of 1% of them being in prisons
about 10% of them would have gone to prison. This means more prisons for 500,000 people,
and that fact alone should give any Rwingnut a hard-on.
25% (perhaps more since most would have been from single mothers) would end up in poverty.
How much for housing allowances and food stamps for 12,500,000?
The remaining 37 millions would-be-borns would have needed jobs. We've done real well with that one huh?

* I'm using your number out of convenience since I truly doubt it is true given your track record with facts.

What about women?

Don't cast your pearls before swine for they'll trample them in the ground then turn to rend you again.
It says to leave the tares among the wheat till the harvest time. When it's harvest time tares will be harvested with the wheat and then tares will be cast into the furnace.
Some of you folks are the same folks that drowned at the time of Noah's flood.
We won't have another flood like that but the world will burn up with some of you on it.
I hope none of you will perish like that.
Every baby born in this world has rights and it is murder to kill them in the womb.
I agree bush is one of the worst presidents america has ever had.. He is a curse on america.. selfserving scum. He is using the war to rob america and is bandrupting it and he could care less..
I really don't think he knows what he is doing... That is how brainless he is, he has no brain.


There's been 40 million babies aborted, they say.
That's how many mexicans that crossed the rio grande.
