I bet when E.L. James wrote her comically porny 50 Shades of Grey novels about a rich and successful businessman who can only find fulfillment when he is either sexually dominating women or punishing them for failing to be submissive, she had no idea that she was writing the 2012 Presidential game plan.

I was wondering about Romney’s role as counselor when he was a Bishop. His wife claimed there was a side entrance to the house and he would go down even if it was late at night. She claimed it was his duty and she had no idea who he met with. Sounds like Mr Clean had some booty calls. 50 Shades? I don’t even want to go there, I think just horse whipping these guys is the least that’s called for. Unless that’s what they want of course…
Eh? This is just the tasty treat that Tea Party needs to twist them into pretzels in order to get those “Christiany” LDS-Is-a-Satan-worshipping-cult haters to vote for RMoney. Ryan’s a little more to their liking, since Ryan appears to HATE everyone in sight, and he’s RC. Clearly RC’s these days are A-OK with the moralizing Christofacists.
It does brighten up my life a little bit to witness my rightwing nutcase Doug Coe “Fellowship” family members having to hold their noses whilst – shudder – “praising” RMoney. However, I’m very sure that they are quite willing to slaver at snooty condescending arrogant Ann’s vaunted high-brow expensively shod feet. Don’t ask me to ‘splain that. I just know that, as much as they slaver after Bible Spice (yes, they still do), they also bow ‘n scrape to hoity-toity Lady RMoney. Don’t think about that too much; your brain will hurt.
We had one of those side doors, too! And dad used to go down if someone knocked–even if it was in the middle of the night. If he didn’t my German Shepherd, who slept in the service porch, would probably eat them….
Caitlin Moran (hold your laughter, puleeeze) is an English woman of some depth (back off, buster) and I love her poke at women:
Q: Do you have a vagina?
Q: Do you want to be in charge of it?
A: Congratulations, you are a feminist!
I’m sure that AnnFlimFlam was more than happy to turn over her vagina to the LDS … the rewards would be wonderful. A dancing horse sure as hell beats being in charge of ones own self.
The saddest thing I’ve read lately is the huge number of young women who adore Shades of Grey. Even saw a number of them choose that porn for their “book club.” Crazitime!
But, but, Teh Wimmin will all vote for Ryan because of his sparkling blue eyes and broad shoulders! At least that’s what Erick Erickson and R.S. McCain told me.
Herd maintenance.
If you’re like me – and for your sake, I hope not – and you find this 50 Shades of Grey business unfamiliar, yet vaguely confusing and frightening, might I commend to you the Twitter feed 50 Sheds of Grey. You’ll get entertainingly scary yet wholesome entertainment, like this:
You’re welcome!
PolitiRepubliFact.com insists that’s only a “Half Truth” and that despite Ryan consistently voting for bills that ban abortions without exceptions in them and the fact that he co-sponsored an embryonic “personhood” bill, again with no exceptions at all contained within. Nope, no partisanship here!TBogg – You, sir, are a hooligan!
demi rulz!
Hey. Can I move to the ‘nards now?
(Tapping my foot and looking at my wrist.)
Ah, fuck you and the Rafalca you rode in on. Let’s see, Paul and Mittens owes us f-alt on their taxes but they get to order women to spread their legs and submit to their judgment on whether they have control of their own bodies. Yeah, fuck you, Ann, Mitt and Paul. I am so sick of this “debate”.
yes, yes, a thousand times yes!
As to forced births and Catholics: I once had a truly dedicated Roman Catholic friend. I asked her what she would do if her 13 year old were raped …. and just to jog her whitey perspective… maybe by a big old black guy. She said her daughter would have the child, of course. God’s will, I guess. And then?, I asked. Oh, we’d give ‘it’ up for adoption. Jesus, I said, that’s your grandchild!
Nope, not in their bizarro world………..
And I understand that one of Mitt’s sons has 3 children through in vitro and with a surrogate (baby incubator at cost)…. and I’m happy for the family, but Mitty and Pauly would outlaw that opportunity for other people’s children.
Who in the hell are these dudes?????
Oh, geez. Who indeed are these people?
Back in the day, when men truly ran the world (or at least USA USA USA), I kind of had hope that women might eventually get some influence and make some changes, but watching MzAnnRmoney sneer at the serfs, I fear that a moment of possibility has been trashed. Whom to trust????
Who are these dudes? These dudes would arrange for an abortion in a heartbeat if it adversely affected their political careers.
Or their 13 year old daughter.
Why is this election so close? Even with the economy a disaster how could anyone subject themselves to these kind of people? The screwballs on the right will run rampant. Stop these fucks !!!
I think Annie and her man want to be annointed royalty for the new millenium. And Paul will issue all the orders as passed down from ST Ayn.
But, but, but, there are so many comments here that insist we not vote for O but for R, or not vote at all.
They insist!
I don’t know about you, but I’ve been shocked (well, in truth, horrified!) by how many people I know who think Romney/Ryan is the dream team. My social network grows ever smaller.
You betcha! And this insane crap about contraception. Jesus, contraception! We can shut this insanity down in no time if someone would have the balls to ask Rush why, and how, he has no children. 1) He’s sterile 2) He’s gay 3) He uses birth control or 4) He’s so stupid he doesn’t understand the question. #1 is a-okay. #2 is my suspicion. #3 is normal and #4 – oh, there we go!
The idea that any woman would vote for any of these assholes is mind-boggling.
I just commented on the other thread that Romney scares the shit out of me for what he will do to medicare and his supreme court appointments. The more he talks the more I am scared to death. I don’t like Obama much but WTF, vote for Romney? Gotta be kidding.
Mind-boggling you say? Indeed, sir, indeed.
Well, it’s madam, but that’s okay. The reason there’s a ton of comments so fast is because if there is anything that really, really pisses women off, who have any brains whatsoever, is some man or woman getting up in their wombs, especially from child-molesting apologists. Enough!
What I’d love to see is the likes of a smug asshole like Paul Ryan having to face a woman in a real take-no-prisoners debate about who is ‘free’ when their bodies are controlled by jerks like him.
Notice how Paul Ryan has taken the spotlight away from Romnuloid? It’s as if the scumsucking Rand Sack thinks he’s the presidential pick.
That’s because he’s been fauned over as ‘serious’ and a ‘wonk’ . He’s not a wonk, he’s a wank. And he’s a dumb wank for not even anticipating someone askng him about his so-called wanking. What a wanker!
Except that Mitt is grateful for the distraction. We need to refocus on the tax avoidance and general ineptitude of The Mittster with his whiteboard, dancing horse, and Marie Antoinette (Ann Marionette — I love you, pseudonymousinnc !!)
I have to wonder if Willard and Anno practiced sex selective abortion. Five kids, five males, and you just know wimmenfolk don’t get to own their own planets in the Mormon afterlife. It would make sense in an interplanetary building-the-Romney-brand kind of way.
So we’ve been denied the charms of Clitt Romney, Brighamina Romney, and maybe Willardella Romney. I miss them already.
But hey, a patriarch has to do what a patriarch has to do.
Don’t forget about Romilla, Romana, and Romilda. Roma even.
I came from a family of five boys and I know my mother would happily ha v e killed any one of us in exchange for a girl. sometimes that is just how it works out.
We have friends who had 4 boys, spaced closely together. Any one of them would have killed each other for more parental attention, food, or the random toy/stick/rock/leaf/piece of used chewing gum. That may be why your mom would have appreciated a trade-in for a little girl….
Thank you for that!
