Seriously...WTF is wrong with Paul Ryan?Paul Ryan Once Again Sponsors the Bill That Would Make It Possible for Women’s Rapists to Sue Them
Well, if Paul Ryan does run in 2016, we know he'll be going full speed with the crazy, making it impossible for him to win, and Hillary will be president, and then everyone will win. Well, except for the American politics, which has been stripped of the effective multiple-party system it needs to evolve and thrive. Whatevs, back to Ryan being an idiot with his morals stuck in all the wrong holes. In an unsurprising turn of events, Ryan has signed on as cosponsor to the Sanctity of Human Life Act again. The original bill — which declares that life begins with fertilization, and would give states the right to ban all abortion, even in the cases involving incest, rape, or the life of the mother — thankfully died in Congress in 2011. But now it's baaaaack, which is scary because not only is the above terrifying, there's all sorts of other creepy shit hidden in this monster. Like, if a woman who was raped in a state that banned abortions went to a state that didn't ban abortions and had an abortion? Her rapist could theoretically sue to stop the abortion from happening, and probably win. And it doesn't stop there with the reproductive weirdness, if passed, it'll probably make many forms of IVF illegal. Luckily, it's almost for sure gonna die again, but I wonder if Ryan's career will go the way of the dodo bird soon after? The tide is turning, and a majority of voters don't want politicians making women's health choices for them. For everyone's sake, it would be best for Ryan and politicians like him to see this as the death rattle. Pack up your moral indignation and head home, guys, I'm sure there's a pot roast in your kitchen you can mansplain your garbage feelings on women's reproductive rights to. http://jezebel.com/5975076/paul-ryan-once-again-sponsors-the-bill-that-would-make-it-possible-for-womens-rapists-to-sue-them http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/09/paul-ryan-personhood-bill_n_2440365.html

These things, even if they don't pass, are doing their job to desensitive Americans and enable those who would reduce women to concubine status with not say so over their bodies and their lives.
If they do pass, they are simply using the law to force what they are doing through churches that support it. We can't expect those who are bringing up their children in them, going to private schools and living in gated communities, to feel any responsibility for the masses that this will impact. Please consider their real goals: The GOP Agenda: Controlling the Means of (Re)Production Sometimes it takes me a while, but the pieces have finally slid into place. Like a lot of others, I have been mistakenly thinking that the GOP’s legislative campaign against women is about domination or subversion or repression or some other kind of man-woman conflict. It’s not at all. It is about dehumanization: the puppet party of business seeking dominion over the population by controlling our reproduction. Consider that the ideal environment for multinational corporations is pretty much the opposite of what benefits humans: Corporations would like to drive down the worldwide cost of human capital in order to own and manage a world economy. We have already seen how this is accomplished. On the production side, corporations play leapfrog, moving factories from country to country based on marginal labor savings. On the revenue side, they drain the private assets of countries whose citizens still have money. With no resources, the citizens are ripe to be exploited as the next labor force.

Last edited Tue Jan 15, 2013, 01:19 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) Great article. Clarifies what's going on very well.
Tools of patriarchy have always used women to control the people and boost their power. They take advantage of lowest instincts, iconicized social controls (viz. Angry Father deities who demand obedience) and lowest common denominators. This provides cover; while people are engaged in all kinds of low-level battles over male/female, rich/poor, producer/needy, the men (and their female stooges) who own the chess board are busy feeding their power. |

of an interest group that will actually register and vote and centrists and leftists staying home out of what? Disappointment or apathy? I am pleased he plays to the crowd he chooses. There's only so many Limpbaugh and Beck audience out there and it seems to be shrinking - only 28% of the population considers itself to be 'teaparty'. That's enough extremist interest to make him the Harold Stassen of the 20teens and 20twenties. I hope he embraces that slot with every fiber of his being.
There is a change happening, the American public is not as knee jerk right wing as some thought. Ryan is a symptom not a harbinger. |

40. With many rules come Dictatorship - Democracy allows freedom to choose
|
The people who want rules in their lives have some sort of need to follow rules - that's fine
But to impost those rules on others is unnecessary There must be either a control problem or they don't feel comfortable following their own rules unless everyone else has to follow the rules, too. (How can I restrict myself from personal freedom when I see all the other people out there breaking my rules? I must find a way to force others to live in my misery.) That would be a good question for a debate: Why do you find it necessary to impose your rules for living on others? Why can't everyone follow their own rules? |

50. I think the intent of all these seemingly unconstitutional laws is to get them before scotus before
|
President Obama appoints another Justice. I know that wealthy tbag and ultra rw conservatives have been looking for cases to take to scotus. In the case of the girl suing University of Texas to set aside affirmative action there was a supporter searching the country for the perfect case to challenge affirmative action. He approached her and has funded the entire case. If you'll notice there have been an excessive number of lawsuits, seemingly unconstitutional laws, and appeals involving a hand full of issues.

52. Small Midwestern city Catholic
|
Established family, parochial schools and environment, NO minorities, NO poor (due to unions!) in his milieu, off to a suburban type college ( Miami of Ohio), where the students were SAT smart, but not diverse to any extent -- once there happened upon an Econ prof looking to indoctrinate an acolyte, read Ayn Rand and thought he was smart, through established Janesville and family connections parlayed the comfy bio and "reasonable" demeanor and looks into a relatively safe seat. Whereupon he could suck up to those who would propel his career to undeserved heights. Works long hours, so people think he is "accomplished", even though he is mainly channelling agitprop from Heritage, ALEC, Koch etc.
I think that's about it, except he has now landed in a river of money and will drive us crazy for some time, spouting all sorts of winger nonsense like the personhood issue to appease the money groups, but do it EARLY in the election period in order to diminish its impact when he heads up and out of Janesville. |

I wonder what that is about. It is also very weird Ryan doesn't want to talk about his views. I have no problem talking about mine actually it's probably best to not get me started I get rather boisterous and obnoxious (sez my youngest), most just say I am opinionated.

Last edited Mon Jan 14, 2013, 10:15 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) Maybe she was smart enough to feel uncomfortable realizing it was totally the wrong venue for them when they arrived. There were a whole string of confrontations with labor people before that short bit of footage was even shot.

At one point I thought she was going to cry. Neither of them are really comfortable with their philosophy though, if they were they would be able to talk about it and not keep blowing people off. They are evasive and non responsive and a little creepy when Ryan asked the guy if he wanted some candy.

Personally, I'd love it if she did, but she's basically stated that she's 'out of gas'. I can't imagine that her trip to the hospital did much to change her mind on that.

I know it is temping to say this man will never be president, but keep in mind, Mitt "the Stench" was a Millstone round his neck. If he runs in 2016, especially if he hooks up with Rubio, and gets Pope Benedict (aka Johnny the Rat) to support him, we could see a lot of trouble.
I say this as an ex Catholic; the Catholics may have some liberal sides to them, but they are overall conservative, and want to TAKE POWER. It would not be hard for them to mobilize, especially as the left is finally speaking up more for Women's rights. It would be easy for them to demonize a Warren or even Clinton as a heathen. |

Did this pig learn absolutely NOTHING from his defeat in the Presidential Election? That if you keep on proposing such anti-woman laws, that many women will vote for the other guy? I wonder if he'll ever get it. Oh well, I suppose the best thing to do is let such idiots speak out about their beliefs as much as they can. That way, the GOP will become more and more irrelevant and outdated to Americans.

A real flimflam man. He never really gives answers, mostly appeals to the vulnerable and/or under-educated among us. Really, he is a POS. But, look where it has gotten him. He's sitting in clover, and, yes, I do believe that people were totally flabbergasted that he might become President. Sheesh!
