The GOP 2012 Platform was formally adopted yesterday. One of its planks: A Human Life Amendment to the Constitution ("Personhood") with no exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother.
In the wake of the furor over Representative Todd Akins outrageous remarks about some magical pregnancy-prevention process which occurs during a rape, Mitt Romney now claims that he rejects the "no exceptions" part of the GOP anti-abortion platform.
When Samantha Bee (The Daily Show) asked numerous GOP conventioneers for their responses to Mitt's choice to 'go rogue' and reject the Party's absolute zero abortion plank, some of the most popular responses were:
"We live in America... A free society."; "It's up to every human being to decide what's best for them."; "Who are we to tell someone how they should act?"; "It's hard to make that decision unless you're the one in that situation."; "It's not for me to judge." and...
"Government's purpose is to protect your individual liberties." *
* Except and Unless * that 'individual liberty' is the one which guarantees each and every American woman's right to choose what happens to her own body.

Newt Gingrich Defends The Catholic Church... And Is Swallowed By A Snake - The Daily Show
In the 2008 Presidential Race, Republicans prophesied many, er, creative "Be Afraid... Be Very Afraid." potential outcomes in their "If-Obama-becomes-President"-dystopian tirades.
None, of course, came to fruition.
Now, in 2012, how will those same Republican wrong-nosticators top themselves?
Here's one GOP candidate's recent declaration:
"He will wage war on the Catholic Church the morning after he's re-elected." - so said Newt Gingrich.
Newt Gingrich is worried about the Catholic Church? Newt Gingrich?
The very same, self-serving, Pillsbury P.O.S. who not only cheated on his first but, later, his second wife after each had became seriously ill and who, shortly thereafter, divorced Wife Number One and later divorced Wife Number Two and is now on Wife Number Three wants American Catholics to believe that he's concerned for and looking out for Catholicism and for the Catholic Church?
Uh, yeah... Riiiiiiiiiight.
D'ya like to hear more improbable prognostications from GOP leadership?
