In the words of the flaming nazi gasbag: "Abortion is only one of countless areas in which a mere nine lawyers in robes have imposed their personal policy preferences on the rest of us."

If you don't like abortion - don't have one.

Keep your friggin hands and religion off my ovaries. Keep your prudish narrow-minded bigotry out of my bedroom and shut the hell up about your addictive need for superstition and how your favorite made up deity can beat up someone else's favorite made up deity.

Stop pretending to be the saviour of the downtrodden when what you're really after is more of what makes the world go round ... money, power and oil.

I used to be such a 'born again' prig. Once I gave up the idea on that train that never comes, I've been so much happier.

For those who found my comments offensive: I'm betting I'm offended more by the hubris of the current administration.

Hmmm...offensive anyone? Nothing like unintelligent ad hominem attacks to bolster your case.

Any honest neurologist will tell you that a human fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks. This is probably a conservatively late estimate, but it is scientifically solid. Elements of the pain-conveying system (spino-thalamic system) begin to be assembled at 7 weeks; enough development has occurred by 12-14 weeks that some pain perception is likely, and continues to build through the second trimester. By 20 weeks, the spino- thalamic system is fully established and connected.

And yet there are many honest neurologists who say this is not so. However. let's assume for the sake of argument that you are correct and a fetus feels pain. Does this mean that you have no objections to abortions before approximately 14 weeks, or to abortions performed where the fetus is anesthetized?

If you still object to abortions under those conditions then your argument is perhaps a little dishonest and does not reveal your true opinion. I would be happy to discuss this, but only if it's an honest discussion.

Please don't think they give a shit.

Offensive??? Hell no! I spewed coffee all over the monitor when I read this, and ran around the lab repeating the joke to everyone who could understand it through the chuckling!

Thanks for the laugh Knibblet!

That was a good line. I chuckled myself. I also laughed at the thought of Howard and millions of fer-ners dying laughing because some of us listen to Rush.

Good lines both. Good lines is all they have. They can't oppose Rush on the merits of his ideas. Personal attacks are all they can muster. Don't forget, he's fat too.

Liberals have won one out of five national elections in the last 10 years (two of the last 25). And that one was really a draw, since the Republicans kept control of the Congress. That was because Ronald Reagan and his philosophical successors like Limbaugh, have spent decades educating the American people about conservatism. Until the liberals can articulate ideas that appeal to the majority of Americans across the entire nation (not just in Kerry and Kennedy's worker's parasise), they will continue to lose.

Look at Ohio. Here we have a Republican Governor with the lowest approval rating in history and two Senators who are disliked from Erie to the Ohio. Are any of these seats vulnerable to democrats. Ask anyone outside Ohio and the answer is yes, send money. Here in the state, however, the answer is a deafening NO. We may not be voting for those guys, but we sure aint voting for your guys, so the Republicans will put up someone better and keep control, Democrats will spend millions and do no better then they did last time or spend much less and do no worse.

The reason is that the American voting public has been saturated with liberal and conservative ideas. They know the difference and they're choosing accordingly. Even the West Wing, a science fiction show about 'honost demorcrats', ackowledges how little the party has in common with the average Democratic voter, much less the populace in general.

Actually, I thought the joke was pretty funny, myself. I consider myself right of center, but I still can't stand Limbaugh. As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure that the thread title is the first time I've ever seen the words "Limbaugh" and "genius" in the same sentence.

However. I do take umbrage to all the other shit she spewed out there. I can't imagine something more offensive than the whole made-up deity thing.

I just had to defend myself against the allegation that I was in some way supporting/defending/endorsing Limbaugh.

Yep. I have to agree with you that I think we're better off with Bush and Cheney. Rush I think is too pompus and rude in his delivery and does not speak for all Republicans.

Some of us Republicans believe in the that a woman has a right to choose, and that gay marriage is fine.

Actually, the senators aren't all that disliked, mostly because they show their independence from the Republican Party from time to time. Voinovich's remarks about Bolton earned him some of the highest praise any politician in Ohio's gotten in years -- he also won reelection in 2004 with about 62% of the vote (the fact that the Dems ran such a nobody against him is proof that he isn't considered vulnerable by any stretch of the imagination). He's very much in the mold of McCain. Mike DeWine broke ranks with ANWAR, and while he's more vulnerable, it's mostly because of the rampant corruption in the Ohio Republican Party rather than his own record.

Gotta say, I wouldn't bet on continued Republican dominance in '06, Hero. Granted, it's largely because of how badly the Republicans have been screwing up, rather than popular support for the Ohio Democratic Party.

Assuming the race for Gov. is between Blackwell and Strickland (the current front-runners), I think Strickland will win by an impressive margin. The major reason Bush carried the state was because of high turnout for him in rural areas, where Strickland is likely to either break even or win outright over Blackwell. Blackwell's far-right stances and his relative distance from the party establishment will probably win him the Republican nomination, but I don't think he has a chance in hell in the general. In short, there'll probably be some Ohio house cleaning come '06.

The pain you refer to cannot be comprehended by a brain that undeveloped. It's akin to you touching a piece of ice without looking, and retracting before you've even decided whether it's hot OR cold.
Should you never kill a bug, because it reacts to 'pain'?
A developing fetus is like a bus to the world. What, you missed that one due to an abortion? Catch the next one, stupid.
How many people born and alive must suffer agonizing mental or physical pain their whole lives? Only THEY CAN comprehend every single moment.
I know what's next: "How would YOU feel if you had been aborted at 20 weeks, huh?"
The answer: Probably not much at all; AND, I'd be too busy lookin' for the next bus to dwell on it anyway.

Let's focus on caring for the people who make it here.

Life IS pain, get over it Chrisisall

P.S. Where can I git my hands on one of them 'pain modifyin' systems you talkin' about? I never got one!

Bwahhahhahahaa. That was the funninest thing I've read in a while. The whole tax cut hting I love it. Who got the tax break? The wealthy and corporations. Freedom of speach? yea, right anti-Bush/Republican = anti-american. All Rush has ever done is preach his beliefs as fact and blatently ignoring what anyone else has to say. Everything the Right has said they would do and what they did were rairly the same thing. Never in Bush Jr.s terms. Everything they do is for their religion. MONEY. The religious right is so wrong it's well its funny. These "Christians" follow the Republicans because they hate. I personally detest abortion. I will fight for someones right to choose. I won't even start on my beliefs on gays and gay marrage. We need to start over Both parties arr corrupted. We need to find a new way of thinking that is neither just one way or another. We need to be able to work together and find compromise on what is best for everyone. That is rairly found in one persons point of view. I am a Christian, just not "God fearing". Oh yea, Didn't Rush pop pain pills like candy. Whata hero.
