NEW midterm thread!

[regexcellent]

The reality is that Abortion is perhaps the most horrific thing ever. Millions of people have died because of it, and we live in a regime that not only permits it but encourages it.

I AGREE WITH YOU ON ABORTION, DIP****

Think America couldn't use another 60 million citizens?

Apparently you don't because you're against immigration and immigrant amnesty

Answer the question, reg.

I have no idea what portion of abortions are related to rape, but it's still something you DON'T ****ING TALK ABOUT BECAUSE IT MAKES PEOPLE ANGRY FOR NO GAIN. And the specific thing he said, about "legitimate rape" and rape not being likely to lead to pregnancy as opposed to other kinds of sex was dumb and wrong. I AGREE ABORTIONS SHOULDN'T BE AVAILABLE PERIOD, but if you want to argue that point, the best way to do it is to simply avoid talking about rape altogether because if you don't it sounds like you are pro-rape.

Oh. Do they? Or is he absolutely correct when he states that rape is not a significant contributor to the abortion rate. Yes it happens. Is it rare? Also yes.

READING IS FUNDAMENTAL. THAT IS NOT WHAT HE SAID WHICH WAS IGNORANT. It was still stupid though and he shouldn't have said it. There are lots of true things you don't say because they make people mad and don't help anything. This is a concept which you have never understood judging by your long career of terrible posting on Poly.

Akin may be ignorant about certain things, but on this point, it is you who is ignorant. That is the point I've been trying to hammer out.

And that point, like every other point you ever try to hammer out, is incorrect, because as usual, you are perhaps deliberately misunderstanding what I said.

Why the **** am I engaging with Ben? Jesus Christ.

Ben, you are a 30 year old virgin who gets paid peanuts to teach history at a ****ty private school in Texas and you seem to consider making bad posts on a small internet forum your primary source of socialization. With that in mind, the least you could do is make your forum posts intellectually honest, instead of using deliberately modified "data" and straw men to debate your opinions that get increasingly ridiculous every year.

I'm struggling to avoid a 40K reference about soldiers being shot for incompetence.

Dont fight it... Just let this happen.

Now, why might the fellow who immigrated legally be against Amnesty? Duh.

I have no idea what portion of abortions are related to rape

It's about 1 percent. And yet you feel qualified to call Akin ignorant. I see.

DON'T ****ING TALK ABOUT BECAUSE IT MAKES PEOPLE ANGRY FOR NO GAIN. And the specific thing he said, about "legitimate rape" and rape not being likely to lead to pregnancy as opposed to other kinds of sex was dumb and wrong

I agree with that, but again. You can't just cut off his funding right in the middle of an election campaign. And you don't use him to smear every single prolifer ever and say, "if you're prolife you can't win.

Can you please drop that crap? Please? It's tiresome, and wrong.

is to simply avoid talking about rape altogether because if you don't it sounds like you are pro-rape.

Oh. So if I point out how planned parenthood facilitates rape by refusing to report sexual abuse, that's bad?

This is a concept which you have never understood judging by your long career of terrible posting on Poly.

I'm not the one going around and smearing liberals saying that we can win without them. Ponder that, reg.

School is definitely not ****ty. Say what you will about me - but let's get it factually correct. We're in the top 10, or will be close to it, top 10 percent of private schools.

We dominate public schools like the 2014 republicans did Democrats.

and you seem to consider making bad posts on a small internet forum your primary source of socialization.

It's cheaper and more engaging than watching television.

With that in mind, the least you could do is make your forum posts intellectually honest, instead of using deliberately modified "data" and straw men to debate your opinions that get increasingly ridiculous every year.

Given that I successfully outed you as a supporter of Amnesty? I'm not sure why you're railing against my technique.

This is the question we are all asking .

Though on the other hand, it can be amusing for a page or so to see a Poly version of "Garfield without Garfield".

[Sava]

wow i had like the same response as you guys

Commissars are pretty much the coolest thing about IG.

That honor falls to the tanks.

Either one would have worked.

So you agree that it's not entirely accurate to say In Virginia, if the moderate candidate had won the primary last year we'd have a Republican governor. because there are larger reasons for McAuliffe being in the Governor's office than Cuccinelli's position on social issues. The Shutdown was the largest thing to damage his campaign because McAuliffe himself was nearly undone by Obamacare which was overshadowed by the Shutdown.

[AAAAAAAAH!]

Good luck keeping the senate in 2016

Given the running up the score they did this time especially breaching the so-called blue wall, they've got a decent shot at it. Or at least it won't be a totally impossible task.

Dinodoc, dinodoc dinodoc. Why are you advancing the cause of the dinosaur party that's hopeless out of touch with the desires of young people. Surely you see that the youth who've never seen a full time job or owned their own house will continue to champion the cause of contraception and gay marriage.

Democrats have to run the table in 2016 to take the senate back, especially if there's a Republican vice president.

So you agree that it's not entirely accurate to say In Virginia, if the moderate candidate had won the primary last year we'd have a Republican governor. because there are larger reasons for McAuliffe being in the Governor's office than Cuccinelli's position on social issues. The Shutdown was the largest thing to damage his campaign because McAuliffe himself was nearly undone by Obamacare which was overshadowed by the Shutdown.

Bill Bolling was more electable than Ken Cuccinelli. Don't get me wrong, Ken Cuccinelli would have made an excellent governor and I enthusiastically supported him, but the race in Virginia was one between two very weak candidates and that made it a lost opportunity for the Republicans.
