Misogyny is never pretty.

No doubt, Ellie…! 8-(

Talk about convoluted.

The pro life people seem to think an abortion is something that’s done at lunch.

they don’t seem to think very far

Clearly, Ron Paul is convinced that women love abortions so much that they routinely go to emergency rooms and lie about being raped, just so they can get one! The fact that this man is a medical doctor both boggles the mind and appalls the moral sensibilities.

Paul is just like the other Rs – gets all tangled up trying to explain an absolutely absurd view that he actually doesn’t believe.

they don’t seem to think very far.

FTFY

One of the area’s I disagree with Ron on.

Women will never go back to the day’s of men dictating

to them

what should be done with their bodies.

on a whim, and casually at the very last minute!

,,,the doctor would get a “handsome fee” if he births a live baby too. Hem and haw all you want…you are still the person who wouldn’t help your ill and dying campaign director when he needed help. Are we supposed to think you would help help a rape victim raise her child after birth?

we wimyns is lucky he didn’t practice very long

One would think that a true ‘Libertarian’ would advocate for a ‘hands off’ approach to a woman’s womb…! 8-(

thank you

If a woman walks into an emergency room and says that she has been raped, who gets to decide if it’s an honest rape? For medical purposes, if she says it’s rape then it is as far as her treatment goes. The rest is legal stuff.

True ‘Libertarians’ are like confidence fairies, bond vigilantes, and unicorns.

Exactly.

Let me see, should I do the mini face lift or an abortion today? Decisions, decisions.

I was impressed that some diaries were posted within the last couple of weeks of women, who had had abortions, telling their stories. Too few do.

*heh* And just as scarce…! ;-)

It turns out that Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are working together:

The remaining candidates in the winnowed Republican presidential field are attacking one another with abandon, each day bringing fresh headlines of accusations and outrage.

But Mitt Romney and Ron Paul haven’t laid a hand on each other.

They never do.

And they won’t.

Has anyone seen anything about Frothy dropping out? Where is his money coming from and how long can it last?

Answer the question, Ron.

On second thought, just shut up.

He is a man of faith who believes in miracles. That is the only thing keeping him going.

*heh* The Roman Empire just won’t die…! ;-)

He apparently has at least one sugar daddy, but most of his cash seems to be coming online, I suspect from Talibangelical voters.

I like to think of him as the official zombie candidate.

Methinks Man-on-Dog is hoping and praying that Mitt & Newt self-destruct and he is the last one standing.

Elliot !

I think that gives him far too much credit for intelligence and rationality.

anybody here ever have a kidney stone?

Or, at least the Veep candidate, Petro…! ;-)

Petro!!

*heh* Another Quayle in the making…!

Nope, but friend has had several. No fun at all.

All the Rs have self-destructed to one degree or another. Their voters are now left with voting for the least obnoxious. It’s all good. :)

Yep. Gooper voter enthusiasm is about on a par with lukewarm spit.

ON EDIT: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57355532-503544/poll-58-of-republicans-want-more-presidential-choices/

The sorry part is that we’re in the same muddle…! *gah*

Please accept my humble apologies for implying that …

The Goopers are even more dispirited according to the polls (see the link in my amended post at 32.

We’re in a worse muddle IMO – we don’t even have any choices. I will write in someone and then throw a tantrum.

No, fortunately.

Nope but my Dad had one … very painful !

yeah. I was at the dr. this week about a, should we say, not normal peeing situation. got labs done yesterday. have chills today. pain where they say when you get stoned…. left side groin. but it’s not intense at all. comes and goes/. i figure i either have one and it’s just beginning or i don’t have one because the pain isn’t bad enough. i’ll keep you posted.

Yee-haw…! We’re all subjected equally to the same dismal results…! ;-)

Edit: Gawd Bless America…! ;-0

I am not sure that you can call what they have actual “choices.” Sort of like “Do I cut off my arm or shoot myself in the foot?”

Have you had your appendix removed?

urine isn’t dark, bloody or smelly, so i tend to think not

no

I will say, based on what he has told me, that they have a lot more treatment options these days and it is not as bad as in the past, but still painful and no fun.

Then be careful and don’t just ignore the pain.

The foot is less painful…! ;-)

Twain !

Support the Occupy movement, once they coordinate across U.S. & Canada, they will drive the debates all the way to November.

Never
Never
Never Give Up

Which is why I think Romney gets the nomination.

Hi, Petro. How’s the far north? Anything exciting going on?

Time for me to toddle off. The cat is telling me it is time for bed and that I am being most inconsiderate. Take care all.

If you’re so inclined, there is a natural method to flush it out before complications arise. That’s what my Dad did and it involved Lemon Juice & Olive Oil but I don’t remember all the details.

Isn’t it fascinating that Texas may not get to have a primary at all? Never heard of such a thing.

I can’t see the Evangelists supporting Mitt, even if he makes Frothy his Veep …

yes, twice before – once about 40 years ago and once two years ago – both times i visited the emergency room and both times the pain went away without them doing anything.

and now this week, pain on and off, but nowhere near as bad as the first two times, so far. i’ve been putting a washcloth in hot water and wringing it out and holding that over my kidney and reapplying a couple of times as it cools off. that’s been helping. so has alternately screaming at and imploring the gods. i bought an herb to help dissolve it yesterday, but haven’t had to take it yet today.

Why am I reminded of Ann Richard’s ‘Poor George, he can’t help it if he was born with a silver foot in his mouth’…! ;-)

Not nearly as exciting as South of the Border. King Harper is leading us off a Cliff while our Lefties bluster and obfuscate …

Love that Ron Paul uses the term “an honest rape”…..I’ll be processing that for quite some time. Another “dog whistle” term…..as if women who claim rape are dishonest. Just using the system. You know how those wimens are! Anyone know where I can order a burka??????

Actually, if they are small enough, they will flush on their own.

Interestingly, cranberry juice which keeps the bladder pH perfect, has acids in it that can cause kidney stones.

The composition of kidney stones is determined by where one lives and the natural elements in the water. And how hard they are.

I used to work for an urology group.

I’ve seen horse kidney stones. You think your’s are bad…

Pleasant dreams, Dr. D…!

HEY!!!! I am so inclined!!! Just did that!!! Saw that a couple places on the internets. Another one was asparagus and a 6 pack of coke. I went with the lemon juice and olive oil

thanks. well, whatever ails me I guess this Giants fan of 45 years oughta lay off, like, everything, tomorrow.

The week after I had major surgery for a kidney stone, they discovered that they could blast them with ultrasound.

I’ll just say, though, that I’ve enjoyed making up great stories about the 15 inch scar across my side. I’m such a typical gal, but that scar lends me all kinds of street cred.

Linky please, I’d like to take a look at it.

15 inches?????? How big was the stone? Sounds like watermelon size.

the details are in the online forum of dr. mercola’s on the topic. some people said it helped and some said no.

that’s where i learned about the herb i bought. all the people who talked about that said it helped.

bfl, you seem to be having the same level of pain i had from tuesday to friday. if mine comes back again, i’ll start taking the herb. it comes in tincture and capsule form. the store i went to only had the capsules so i got that.

the company is raintree nutrition (www.rain-tree.com) and the product is called “Chanca Piedra”, which means Stone Breaker. i called around until i found it at an alternative kind of pharmacy. you can also order it directly from the company online.

drink lots of liquids.

Ron Paul is staying until the Convention just so he has an audience for his batshit crazy ideology … he makes Mitt/Newt/Rick look sane, by comparison.

why is being against abortion hating women?

If the thesis is that rights and life begin at conception, then we can accuse the man of hypocrisy or duplicity, but not hate.

My view is rather different, rights begin before life, along the lines of Roman Usufruct and the Preamble’s “our posterity”, and rights even continue after death (e.g. wills and sanctity of burial sites) and that abortion is taking a life; I just don’t want the government sticking it’s nose into abortion via criminalization and making things worse (see also R2P).

Shouldn’t the goal be a world without unwanted pregnancies, especially by rape? That world won’t be manifested through the slinging of epithets, but by a respectful dialog that brings people together. Or we can just continue our mutual bitching contest; up to you…

Thank goodness you’re not a Tebow fan … that stone would never pass ! *g*

Pump the public with enough bullshit polls and they will believe any outcome.

Is the lemon juice and olive oil helping?

Never fails its election time & its just Pro-choice vs. Pro-Life there’s no other issues

No, just an infection stone that was growing ‘horns’ (I was pregnant, so they couldn’t deal with it until I delivered) … and the big cut was just to give them access. And the stitching was not pretty….I do needlework, and I would have done a much tidier job, let me tell you, but it was a teaching hospital and I’m sure some kid-doctor did the final sew up. I got better, and the hospital worked with me so that I could continue to nurse my baby boy, so I have no complaints. Interesting times, those 1970s.

I take it you didn’t get the memo that birth control is abortion? In the minds of some.

Good.Grief !

Infestation alert …

Is that any way to talk about our kidney stone afflictions?

Bless your heart.

That’s about the size of it, homeroid…! Since, Diebold has already pre-determined the outcome…! ;-)

?? I’m the essence of naive, and I am not giving it up!

I hope yall are happy … Lloyd Blankfein’s bonus slashed by $5.6M to $7M via huffpo

The poor dear will need food stamps. The horror.

Poor thing, whatever shall he do with such a diminished payout…? ;-)

*heh* Great minds and all…! ;-)

Dood !

That Hair Weave is definitely off … *g*

Hey, you owe me a drink.

Evening, Mi Amigo…! *g*

Pick your poison, M’dear…! ;-)

You’re off the hook, been into my own poison for about 2 hours.

But if you’re into IOUs? Bushmill’s on Monday.

But is he Pro-Life or Pro-Choice though?

Remind me at my Monday’s lln…! I do aim ta please…! ;-)

http://www.earthclinic.com/CURES/kidney_stones.html

Pro-monopoly. Choice and life are irrelevant, unless you are talking about the monoply’s choices.

Fortunately for you, I won’t remember.

Thanks BFL !

A few years ago, I did a Liver/Bile cleanse and the main ingredients were Lemon Juice & Olive Oil … it was scary how effective those were !

LOL … Brilliant !

*heh* I know I won’t…! ;-)

NAH. i really don’t think i have one. pain isn’t that bad. But something is not right.

Could you have a bowel obstruction?

That’s why they keep me around…every now and then…

Pain is what kidney stones are all about.

*heh* Do we really have a choice, tuez…? ;-)

My Irish self is going to go to Hilo and cook for you, for that.

We’d be even more brilliant if we had some chocolate martinis.

LOL … serving some upstairs.

I don’t understand this notion that women who support reproductive freedom, choice (and it is my body dhammit), translates into “liking abortion,” as if needing an abortion is a desirable, even enjoyable situation.

part of the travesty of republican/conservatives turning the right to an abortion into a ‘hair-on-fire’ circus is that it takes away from the fundamental tragic situation of a woman needing to decide to have an abortion.
A caring society that was serious about the gravity of her decision would provide her support and constructive tools for her to make her decision, not scorn and blithering idiocy.
A caring society would have far fewer abortions than the republican/conservative distopia of America

“…an honest rape”?

If the republican candidates are to be believed, there are only two kinds of women: clueless pearl-clutchers, or lying, scheming fools. Which makes me really wonder about their mothers and wives. Geez

Webster defines misogyny as “a hatred of women”. Ron Paul delivered 4,000 babies. If he hates women his life must have been hell.
