Really?

Scuzzbucket of the Week

A New Hampshire state representative said he was just trying to emphasize a point when he used “vagina” as a synonym for “woman” in an email to the full House earlier this month.



State Rep. Peter Hansen (R-Amherst) was debating the recently passed HB 135 — a State House bill repealing parts of a Stand Your Ground law passed last year — with Rep. Steve Vaillancourt, also a Republican, who had argued in favor of retreating from a confrontation rather than resorting to the use of deadly force.

In an official email to Vaillancourt, Hansen wrote:

There were two critical ingredients missing in the illustrious stories purporting to demonstrate the practical side of retreat. Not that retreat may not be possible mind you. What could possibly be missing from those factual tales of successful retreat in VT, Germany, and the bowels of Amsterdam? Why children and vagina's (sic) of course. While the tales relate the actions of a solitary male the outcome cannot relate to similar situations where children and women and mothers are the potential victims.


According to Hansen:

“I used it for, number one, as a factor for shock, and I used that word to bring people into the mindset of a perpetrator” – that is, “of a potential rapist,” he said.

Hansen added, “I only regret my word choice because, one, it is misconstrued and, two, not as effective as I wish it had been.”

The men of the GOP are hell bent on degrading women until they bow down to them.

There's Paul Ryan

Republicans in the House proposed a bill (HR 1179) called “Respect for Rights of Conscience Act of 2011.” The bill, introduced by Jeff Fortenberry (Nebraska), allows health care providers and pharmacists to deny birth control to women if it conflicts with their religious or moral convictions.

Remember Todd Akin? He stated that Legitimate rape' victims rarely get pregnant

I could go on, but you get the point.

Idiots on Parade 3

Old Akin has awakened the morons around the country. Here are some examples
"Idaho state Sen. Chuck Winder recently justified his opposition to abortion in cases of rape by questioning whether women really know what rape is."

Sharon Angle said a girl who was raped by her father and became pregnant should “make lemonade out of lemons.”

Florida State Rep. Kathleen Passidomo apparently believes that the state's new school dress code will keep children safe from being raped:
"There was an article about an 11 year old girl who was gang-raped in Texas by 18 young men because she was dressed like a 21-year-old prostitute," she said. "And her parents let her attend school like that. And I think it’s incumbent upon us to create some areas where students can be safe in school and show up in proper attire so what happened in Texas doesn’t happen to our students." (so she deserved rape for dressing wrong?)

Rep. Steve King: I’ve Never Heard Of A Girl Getting Pregnant From Statutory Rape Or Incest

Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield falsely claimed that it was nearly impossible for someone to contract AIDS through heterosexual contact.

WHERE did these empty heads come from? And I'm really scared of the folks that voted for them.
