Mr. Bubble's got nothing on the supremely sudsy saturation that is the self-delusion of defeated Republican Veep Nominee, Paul Ryan...

Tina Fey's Response To GOP Rape/Abortion Rhetoric (and mine, too.)
OK... OK... I can't take this anymore!!!
Perhaps you've seen the recently broadcast video segment from a debate in which Senate wanna-be (and yet another rape/pregnancy-proof male) Richard Mourdock (R. IN) blathered on about his view that a pregnancy that results from a rape must be "God's Will"?
It was the last straw.
Well, it was My Last Straw.
So, I now offer my own personal rebuke - to the whack-a-mole musings of Mourdock; the GOP twits who spewed similar bull-pucky before him; the GOP twits whom have yet to spew...
"If men could get pregnant - abortion would be a sacrament!" *And, needless to say, rape a capital crime.
Whew! Glad to get that off my chest.
Now... enjoy Tina Fey's response to the latest G(onaded) O(ld) P(aleface) attack on women/women's health/women's rights:

Wake Up! Today's GOP's Goal Is "...The Talibanization Of American Policy."
What Do The Following All Have In Common:
Richard Mourdock; Mitt Romney; Paul Ryan; Todd Akin; GOP-led states and GOP Congressional Representatives?
The answer should be as obvious as the nose on your face.
Still, if it's not...
Then, you'll find it here, in the wise words of NOW President Terry O'Neil:
“It’s the creeping Talibanization of American policy. It is deeply, deeply dangerous for women.”
And, a clear and present danger leveled at every American. Especially those of us whom recognize this simple fact: All of our cherished and hard-won freedoms must be protected from every threat that aims to destroy them...
Regardless of whether the threat originates from within... or without.

Much Like The Truth - The Facts Are Out There. Just Don't Bother Looking In Mitt Romney's Campaign
Publicly, Mitt Romney, his wannabe-wonk and the whole Romney campaign are utterly unapologetic about their open-hostility towards the theory and practice of 'Fact-Checking'.
Especially 'Fact-Checking' done on any of their own statements/claims/accusations/political ads.
They also have a well-documented, acute aversion to Telling The Truth - whether it be about themselves or about others.
It would behoove all of us if our consumer-protecting tradition and practice of "Truth in Advertising" were to be extended so as to include politics. And with significant fines levied against the worst and repeat offenders.
Why?
Because - The Truth Matters - Even in Politics. Especially in Politics.
A catchy little vid from Actually.org...
"Mr. Romney: Let's play "Two Truths and A Lie!". "Noooo! You're doing it wrong!!" :P

RNC 2012 101: Government Exists To Protect The Individual Liberties Of Everyone Without A Uterus.
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.
Enjoy this clip from last night's The Daily Show With Jon Stewart (with TDS Correspondent Samantha Bee reporting from the RNC in Tampa, FL.):

RNC Ostracizes Todd Akin For His Extremist Views (Which are identical to the RNC's)
Reporter: "Should it be legal for a woman to get an abortion if she's been raped?"
Paul Ryan: "I'm very proud of my pro-life record and I've always adopted the position that the method of conception doesn't change the definition of life."
In other words, regarding the situation in which a rape survivor becomes pregnant, Republican VP nominee Paul Ryan's life-long, doggedly-pursued position is utterly identical to that of Sharon Engle ("If life gives you a lemon (you become pregnant after being raped) then you should make lemonade.") and it's identical to that of the strategically-scapegoated, infamous and utterly clueless Congressman Todd Akin (R-MO).
Don't be fooled by Mr. Ryan's "Gee, shucks. Y'all have nothing to fear. I'm not the one who is running for President. Mitt Romney is."
That may be true, but Paul Ryan is no innocuous bystander/spectator/passer-by. He's running for Vice President. And, Vice President is a heartbeat away from the Presidency.
*Remember Sarah Palin's turn as GOP VP nominee in 2008? (Of course you do.) And, do you remember the moment when that particularly gut-wrenching, nightmare-inducing thought finally hit you that... IF John McCain were elected President... And, IF he were to die suddenly or become incapacitated... THEN... (OMFG!) Sarah Palin would take his place as... President.
It's deja vu again with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan.
One shudders to think.
