    That was odd. Do you support what Herndon said or not?

    I'm often told on this board that I shouldn't be a one-issue voter, but if there was ever an issue that should immediately disqualify a candidate, it should be discovering the person would force a raped woman to carry her rapist's child and then tell her it will be good for her. I just can't fathom...

    The ironic thing is that it's guys like Herndon who are tarnishing the brand. Not those who point out what the politician says.
    If the rape victim did not want to get pregnant then should could have just willed not to get pregnant.

    Dude, it's not that hard to figure out what was meant by my post.

    And btw, shouting about how you can "speak for yourself"? Makes it a little doubtful that you can.

    Liar!
    You pointed that finger at all Republicans.
    Let's take it to court and argue a case. If you doubt my legal capabilities, you can ask DG.

There's also the matter of that previous settlement with a former wife that begs the question why you would settle, buying her silence, if nothing happened.

    More pointedly though, do you really think for one second that this man is incapable of such actions? He's plainly told you what he does in multiple contexts. He can retroactively backpedal all he wants now that it's a political liability for him, but his lifestyle has aligned so closely with the attitude that it's just easy for anyone with a shred of common sense to believe that he's probably in fact done something that way before. The man has owned beauty pageants, a strip club, appeared in a "lesbian" porn movie (yes) and on the cover of Playboy magazine, he's had numerous wives, the current of which is a former fashion model I believe 26 years his junior...do you really think he'd never do anything? Put it all together for a minute. The lifestyle. The sheer scale of the claims against him. The conviction. The settlement. The other scandals. His well-established relationship with the truth. Does it all add up to the picture of a man who respects women...or to the picture of a man who views women as slabs of meat? If you can set your dogged partisanship aside for just a moment, you'll know the answer instinctively.
    I believe this is possible for all the rich and famous. I'll add powerful, but they seem to go hand in hand.

    Not accurate. The eggs you buy at the store(where most get their eggs) are unfertilized. So egg yolk is more in line with the menstrual cycle.

    In reality, it says all that needs to be said that the conservatives here, broadly speaking, feel defensive about this guy's claims. Why would you get all defensive in response to criticism of this rape apologist if his attitude doesn't resemble your own? It's like the real scandal here in their eyes here is the tarnishing of their brand and not the fact that this guy is cool with rape and incest.
    Because it was posted as what republicans believe in. So naturally people get defensive, it is simply human nature. Though I honestly did not see many defending.
