I’m trying to figure out how anyone who claims to be ABO (Anybody But Obama) in order to favor a liberal like Romney could possibly have any trouble being ABM (Anybody But McCaskill) in order to favor a conservative like Akins.
The conservative Akins is far more deserving of support than the liberal Romney.
I hope you enjoy four more years of Obama. Shouldn’t matter, since Obama is “a difference that is not a difference”. And thanks to you and your ilk for your role in the Obaminization of America.
I heard Sarah Palin on FOX this morning saying that there may be a third party backing the other Republican who lost the nomination to him and that he should definitely quit the Missouri Senate race.
I will only vote for
congressional candidates this year. I have serious intestinal problems pulling the lever for either presidential candidate. I don’t think Romney would nominate any different Supreme Court Judge than would Obama.
The whole concept of legitimate rape as it stands in his mind creates the specter of reasonable doubt. He can’t double back and say punish the rapist if it’s not really rape.
Because Romney can run on the real issues of the campaign, while Akin will be forced to provide regurgitations on 'legitimate rape' for the next 70+ days instead of the real issues. DUH!
You have got to be a n00b troll. No conservative is this stupid!
Yes, a lot of women claim “rape” when in fact their sexual activity was consensual. Those women — and not Akin — are to blame for “the specter of reasonable doubt.”
Don’t kill the messenger. Attack instead the instigators.
So, are you pro-McCaskill or pro-Akin?
You’ve got to choose one or the other. There are no other candidates in the race.
No. 'Homosexualism' is a proper word.
'Homosexualist' is listed by Wiktionary as an alternative to the term 'homosexual', referencing the Oxford English Dictionary, and giving usage examples as early as '49... albeit that the term smells a bit arcane. It's use is legitimate in any case, as an 'ist' is generally a practitioner of an 'ism'... True enough that 'ist' is used as a bolt-on component even where the word proper does not exist, conveying the thought of a single practitioner of a thing.
And it is in popular use, as can be seen by plugging the word into a search engine. No doubt it's popular use predates FR.
Both are words, both are found in abundance upon the web.
caver's comment holds no merit, even if withholding it's vituperation.
No, your reply was the stupid one. The main issue Romney has chosen to run on is the issue of not releasing his tax returns. He’s putting his selfish desires over the needs of the party by letting the Democrats and the media spend all their time talking about that non-issue to everyone but Romney. Hence he’s remained permanently mired 4 points behind Obama in national polls.
Nice. This is true ONLY BECAUSE Clod Akin placed himself above Country yesterday. I'm anti-McCaskill and trying to figure out the best way to defeat her.
I'll concede third party is a losing option, but I'm still gonna vent (like Mark Levin goes nuclear) about Clod some more on this conservative website.
LOL. Good grief.
I guess we disagree. If I lived in Missouri, I'd vote for Akin without any reservations whatsoever. I know what he meant. I know that he is opposed to abortion without exception. He should not have placed the word "legitimate" so close to the word "rape." I know that and he knows that. His clumsy moment should not define his life. In the end, it will not define his campaign.
Hopefully, as you mature, you're going to learn that calling other people "stupid" is not going to win you much admiration or respect.
Thanks for the info, roamer.
My sense is that “homosexualism” now substitutes as a synonyn for “gay agenda.” Homosexualism, as with communism, is advocacy of a particular philosphy.
The charges were dropped, not just because there was no evidence, LC, but because there was exculpatory evidence. The DNA evidence clearly belonged to none of the Duke LaCrosse players.
Thank you. That deserves a link:
If you’re all-in third party for POTUS, why not MO Senate too?
actually the PROBLEM is OBAMA, and he needs to be defeated. PERIOD.
Check this out.

The same FReepers who are trying to push pro life Aiken out are over here making excuses for Scott Brown saying we should bring more of the “good” abortion supporters into the big tent.
I would agree with your impression. And if we are mistaken in the use of the term, it is understandable, as in philosophy (religion and politics included) the 'ism' holds the aggregate of similar factions (Conservatism, Dispensationalism, etc) which becomes something approaching identity, with mores, standards, and motives included - So lumping all things 'homosexual' under the banner of 'homosexualism' would be a fairly natural thing to do.
