    We know. Leffe can't admit when he is wrong so he is going to repeat it to you several more times in the hopes that if he repeats his lies enough times people will believe him or just say they believe him so he will shut up. :lol: Some liberals can't admit to the good in anything, especially not if it means they flew off the handle in the first place.

    Read this on another forum, I checked this out, seems to be true:

    The republican war on women continues...
    1) Republicans not only want to reduce women's access to abortion care, they're actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven't yet. Shocker.
    2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to "accuser." But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would remain "victims."
    3) In South Dakota, Republicans proposed a bill that could make it legal to murder a doctor who provides abortion care. (Yep, for real.)
    4) Republicans want to cut nearly a billion dollars of food and other aid to low-income pregnant women, mothers, babies, and kids.
    5) In Congress, Republicans have a bill that would let hospitals allow a woman to die rather than perform an abortion necessary to save her life. H.R. 358, the Let Women Die Act of 2011
    6) Maryland Republicans ended all county money for a low-income kids' preschool program. Why? No need, they said. Women should really be home with the kids, not out working.
    7) And at the federal level, Republicans want to cut that same program, Head Start, by $1 billion. That means over 200,000 kids could lose their spots in preschool.
    8) Two-thirds of the elderly poor are women, and Republicans are taking aim at them too. A spending bill would cut funding for employment services, meals, and housing for senior citizens.
    9) Congress just voted for a Republican amendment to cut all federal funding from Planned Parenthood health centers, one of the most trusted providers of basic health care and family planning in our country.
    10) And if that wasn't enough, Republicans are pushing to eliminate all funds for the only federal family planning program. (For humans. But Republican Dan Burton has a bill to provide contraception for wild horses. You can't make this stuff up).

    I would have to agree with Patriot911 on this one, even though I don't agree with the hard line stance of the Republican.

    Even though a person does not believe in God, there are many people that do. That is their right.....even if they feel that God's wish needs to apply to all people. A lot of people that believe in God also believe that EVERYTHING that happens is God's will. There is nothing wrong with that. To claim that they are "extreme", "insane", or a "crackpot" is being disrespectful to the beliefs of other and is based from a position of a closed mind......not much different then the stance of the Republican.

    Now I'm not saying that the Republican's belief should be applied to ALL people, however, he is entitled to his belief. If he is making this statement to predominantly same minded people, what is the problem? If he is expressing his belief, but is not forcing that belief on other people, what is the problem?

    Yeah looks another, unique quib from a RW extremist. These blunders happen so often they have become routine, yet our RW compatriots claim these gaffes are rare. So rare they happen about once a week.

    Figures that RWers are okay that a US Congressman candidate rationalizes an assault and battery felony as an act of God.

    Yeah right, God intended the pregnancy via an assault and battery. Once again the Right antes up shamelessness.

    Figures a partisan idiot would see a simple sentence that way. He is speaking about the life being gods will not the rape.

    There is no problem with Republicans trying to get these bills passed, however, I believe the likelihood of them being passed is very very slim. I personally do not agree with them, and if they were attempted in my State, I would work hard at opposing them. Some people think that the only opinion that matters is their own. Everybody else is a "nut-job". We need to be tolerant of the beliefs of others, even if we greatly disagree with them.

    First off, the Republican party is not "infected" with people who hold these views. I'm a Republican and I certainly do NOT hold those views. I don't know of anyone else who does either.

    Your constant calls of being "right" are getting old. Just because i disagree with you on this matter of a simple sentence doesnt mean that i am part of some right wing conspiracy.

    Grow the hell up.

    Why are you saying "the right?" So, does this mean when ONE Democrat says something outlandish, that it means ALL Democrats believe the same? We don't ALL think alike, you know.

    Hey my statement stands!!!

    You want to rationalize this, go ahead, but the fact remains rape is a felony, not an act of God.

    Well, first off, I am not a RWer.

    Second, neither myself nor the Republican are saying that the "assault and battery felony" is acceptable.

    JP, this isn't a one time thing, this is prevelant with a number of Republican candidates, and besides Marine, nary a one, have condemn such an atrocious statement. There is no rationalization for criminal activity.

    Well then they should articulate what they mean by God's will.

    And if the poll numbers in Indiana aren't moved by this we can conclude many are fine with his statement.

    Richard Mourdock: "Even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, it is something God intended to happen"

    Well, I guess that should explain why I'm not a Christian.

    Seriously dude, grow up, pregnancies caused by rape were "something God intended to happen".

    Be a man, grow a spine, and address this as reality. Otherwise converse with someone else.

    Yeah they pushed out Richard Lugar for this guy. This and how our RW compatriots respond to these outrageous comments demonstrates how radical they have become.

    Typical or RW extremism, you go abide by that shameless disposition. The fact the pregnancy is the result of the rape, a direct association, is obviously not an issue with RWers.

    He has to alter the quote to put his own negative spin on it. If he doesn't, his lies fall flat. *******s will never understand that some people hold all life sacred and as a gift from God regardless of the circumstances surrounding the conception. One has to have a heart to understand some things.

    If you had a spine you would address me and my comments by what i say and not keep going back to this RW crap.

    If you want to rant about the RW write a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing blog but when you reply to me reply to me not your rantings.

    At no stage have I said "all republicans hold these views", I have said that this party is infected with extremists and I hold by this.
