Legitimate Rape and Paul Ryan
Author: Raine    Date: 08/20/2012 13:37:42

That's what Missouri GOP candidate for Senate said. here is the statement:
“First of all, from what I understand from doctors, (pregnancy from rape) is really rare,” Akin told KTVI-TV in a clip posted to YouTube by the Democratic super PAC American Bridge. “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”

Akin added: “But let’s assume that maybe that didn’t work or something. I think there should be some punishment, but the punishment ought to be on the rapist and not attacking the child.”

Akin issued a statement Sunday afternoon saying he misspoke.

Who is Petey?
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 08/19/2012 14:08:01

Now that Willard has picked his running mate to lose the election with, many people are wondering, "who the heck is this guy"?

Of course we all know about his stint as TV's Eddie Munster and many have watched the E! "Whatever happened to.." show about him, but thanks to your intrepid reporter here at 4 Freedoms, I can tell you everything you didn't know about him and probably didn't want to know. You've heard all about the Ryan budget and his love and strict following of uh admiration of hmm, somewhat fondness of Ayn Rand, but did you also know that he's a huge fan of rebellious music?

Behind the Ryan Facade
Author: BobR    Date: 08/15/2012 12:38:04

The selection of Paul Ryan by Mitt Romney as his running mate in this year's presidential election has helped shine a light on a person who has mostly benefited with controlling his own lighting. Ryan has successfully crafted an image of himself as a man of the people interested in taming the madness of Washington. That facade is falling off, and the reality beneath is not what most people believe, and will not help the Romney candidacy.

Mr. Howell picks Bat Boy for his VP
Author: velveeta jones    Date: 2012-08-12 12:16:12

It appears that Mitt Romney doesn't want to be President after all. Why else would he pick a Draconian Munster child as his Sarah Palin pick? Perhaps, you say, he wants to ensure his street cred, such as it is, with the Tea Party? But by picking Ryan he may actually be losing Florida, unless they cheat, again. I mean, Florida is known for its old people as much as its sunshine and spring break debauchery, and any old person that has not been taken by senility and has read the Ryan budget doctrine would have a hard time punching the chad for this guy.
