Richard Mourdock’s View On Rape Is The Same As Paul Ryan’s View On Rape–Romney/Ryan Would Redefine Rape

(Blogger’s Note 10/26/12–This is a post I ran on the blog last month. It seems appropriate  to run this post again given the comments of Republican Indiana U.S. Senate nominee Richard Mourdock. Mr. Mourdock said that pregnancy that results from rape are “something God intended.”  Mr. Mourdock is one of a number of Republican candidates across the nation in 2012 who oppose abortion even in cases of rape. Mr. Romney recently filmed an ad for Mr. Mourdock and still says he supports Mr. Mourdock. These are  positions supported by Republican Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan.)  

When I was in Cincinnati recently I saw Mitt Romney’s jet at Lunken Airport in Cincinnati.

Above you see a picture I took of Mr. Romney’s plane. Governor Romney was speaking at Cincinnati’s historic Union Terminal.

The RR on the tail of plane stands for “Redefining Rape.”

Or–if maybe there are 3 R’s on the tail–it could be “Romney Redefines Rape” or “Ryan Redefines Rape.”

Vice Presidential nominee Paul Ryan shares the view of Missouri Congressman Todd Akin that some forms of rape are not “legitimate rape.”

How have we reached the point where we feel that some forms of rape are not rape at all?

Here in Texas, women who seek a constitutionally protected abortion are subject to the state-mandated rape of the forced sonogram law. Rick Perry signed that law.

These folks fly around in big airplanes and hold the highest offices in the nation and run for President and Vice President of the United States–But really they are simply brutal men who would redefine rape and brutalize the poor.

Blimp Photo & Blimp Story

Above is the Outback Steakhouse blimp.

This blimp was at Cincinnati’s Lunken Airport last November.

This allows me to tell my Cincinnati blimp story.

Maybe 15 years ago, when I was working for a Cincinnati City Councilmember, a citizen called up to complain about the Goodyear Blimp.

The Goodyear blimp was in town for a Monday Night Football game.

The caller said the blimp was hovering outside her window and that the people inside the blimp were watching her undress. 

I can’t recall what I told her. I suppose I told her something because those were the type of phone calls that could go on for a long time. I could be with on the phone with her to this day if I let it go on.

Dealing with the public is always an education. In the end though you have to allow it to make you more human and gentle towards others.
