Yikes. this "God" sounds like a pretty awful guy...

[Michchamp]

Indiana Senate candidate claims pregnancy through rape is "something that God intended to happen."

Would anyone here have trouble guessing what party he's aligned with and what sort of (sociopathic) voters he's pandering to with that line???

This moron should have his larynx removed. With an opportunity to turn a tragic circumstance into a positive by saying something like "implore God to help people in this situation to recognize that terminating a life is not the solution," this idiot actually infers some Calvinistic, pre-destinational context to a crime that ranks only below pre-meditated murder in hierarchy.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Its horrible but guess what michchamp associated this with all GOP, right? Why can't you just post it and leave all your dysfunctional views out of it..

as a person who leans more toward conservative, this guy is a d-bag and should be raped by multiple men with AIDS and then tell him that he got AIDS because G-d intended for it to happen.

well, he isn't the first GOP candidate to make these sort of absurd analogies.

both his and Todd Aiken's comments were bad enough; I guess I'm more horrified that enough voters seem to believe this garbage that candidates feel this is a "safe" position to tread on.

I mean, the entire idea that abortions due to rape is a meaningful policy issue for a political campaign is absurd in the first place, but these positions are just completely insane. and it's not like this is some dipshit running from the sticks for the Indiana state senate... this is for the US senate.

the status quo in DC is bad enough; that the GOP is willing to slide even further to the right to try and regain some seats is a BAD thing. like... bad for democracy. there's not much room between some of these guys and the militia freaks, KKK, and violent extremism.

I'm a conservative, I didn't say it. You're find 99.9999999% of conservatives don't even think that let alone say it.

He's scum, a bad person but don't assume people with his political views think the same.

people with his same views don't have the same views?

Presser on abortion: (we're I a presidential candidate)

Media: "You oppose abortion in all cases?"
Me: "Yes?"
Media: "Even rape and incest?"
Me: "Yes."
Media: "Would you overturn Roe V. Wade?"
Me: "No."
Media: "Why not."
Me: "The law is irrelevant in this situation. People will do what they will do."
Media: "What is our plan to outlaw abortion."
Me: "I don't have one, because that's not my objective."
Media: "What is your objective?" (Notice how I'm leading the questions?)
Me: "That women come to the conclusion that abortion is more tragic long term to their personhood than 40 weeks of pregnancy is."
Media: "You have a plan to help them?"
Me: "Yes, but it has nothing to do with my responsibilities as president."

I wish we could go back 40-50 years ago, and had every candidate say that last part affirmatively enough that it never became the absurd political football it is.

 

[tinselwolverine]

I would vote for you, byco.

 

[Mitchrapp]

people with his same views don't have the same views?

That was not a political party view. It was personal opinion they're not the same. Way to make stuff up.

not sure which ones have lately. hell, the presidential debates are over whether we need to cut social spending dramatically or even more dramatically, whether we should bomb other countries more, or even more, and whether we need more military spending or even more than more.

the compromises have all been to the right, no matter how much you want to think otherwise, or how much Rush, Hannity, Bill O., Glenn Beck, etc. whine about it. but I know admitting your satisfied, or the opposition is okay is not a winning political strategy, so the further we go...
