Do you think he - or anyone - could keep a secret like that through 15 years of campaigning for public office?


We obviously have a different mindset on the issue. I don't see what would be so hard about keeping that secret, nor do i see why you think 15 years of campaigning isnt EXACTLY when you would and could keep that "secret". It's not like pretending to be religious would eat away at the soul of someone who isn't. He's not pretending to be a pedophile to get some position.

And of course we certainly can't know anything about what he really thinks since we can't read someones mind.

Not really close to what he said.
Atheist in most secular western countries is almost a must to get elected. Religion is seen as something you should keep out of political discussion as far as possible. Religion is personal and private and it is not seen as something particularly attractive.

Calling atheism something bad is pretty deranged with the above in mind

I think the problem is that most voters think that religion is needed for a person to have morality.

Parallel is my homeboy. Also, seems like that Intrade nonsense is finally rebounding. Obama is back into the 60s.

Yeah, I didn't even realize "aussie" could hypothetically refer to an Austrian economist. Worry not! I was merely pointing out his "shrimp on the barbie"-ness

so from now on, can anyone who is looking to ask a conservative/Republican a question about abortion and rape please refer that question to me so that I can answer it? Because apparently Republican politicians are having a hard time answering this question without sounding like misogynist asses. I mean how hard is this:

"Rape is one of the most heinous and terrible things that can happen to someone. We as a society have a moral duty to protect the victims and to pursue justice against the perpetrators, and it is my firm belief that we have a further obligation to provide the victims with as much help as humanly possible. As a {insert political/religious philosophy here}, I believe that all life is sacred, and I believe that the rights of the unborn child should be protected with every bit as much dedication and fervor as the rights of the mother."

but noooooooo... we can't be fucking politically savvy to save our gddamn lives. no way, Republicans have to start trying to redefine rape and wondering if maybe God didn't want the rape to happen or whatever the fuck that retard was saying. I mean, these are grown men and they can't even fucking get it right.

someone get them the hell out of my party because they make me look bad, and that's fucking saying something right there.


What you're suggesting is heinous. It's not up to you to decide what sort of "help" best serves a woman who has just been impregnated by rape, while ignoring what she believes is best for her. Youre suggesting you can speak on behalf of rape victims instead of listening to them. Its misogeny at its absolute most fundamental and it is totally embarrassing that you think its a reasonable stance. For you to attempt to dictate terms of recovery to rape victims is heinous, particularly using respect for life as a pretext for your view.

methinks you read what you wanted me to have said, not what I said. I'm not sure where you got anything specific about what "help" would be offered from what I said, since I certainly offfered no specifics. nor did I make any assertion about how a rape victim should be treated, or whether rape victims should be listened to or not. I would ask what it is you are suggesting that we should "listen" to them about and how is that relevant to my statement?
