Apparently Pakistan likes Romney. And judging from the last debate, Romney wants to like Pakistan. Romney also likes outsourcing... I think we know what to do...
Stage a coup and get Mitt Romney appointed President of Pakistan?

Yes!

That's exactly the rhetoric the Democrats need for a landslide victory. Imagine what they could say if Romney had anything to do with the Middle East! All the Republicans would abandon him, since he'd be a terrorist then.

OF COURSE! We could solve two stones with one bird! Pakistan gets crazy enough that India finally kicks their ass, and we get rid of Romney!

We don't want India v Pakistan though because I think they both have nukes?

Countries with nukes that are losing a war are very, very unsafe to be anywhere nearby, since they're far more likely to use them.

If Romeny wins I hope he at least starts his term right, by giving a two hour long inaugural speech in the rain

I've heard speculation that the CIA has heavily infiltrated Pakistan's nuclear capabilities for this very reason. Can't launch if half the facility are spies.

Anyone remember Richard Mourdock (R-Indiana) who unseated long-term incumbent Dick Lugar in the primary?  Well, he apparently thinks that getting pregnant from rape is okay because "God intended it".

And as for the TN-Sen, story, I've known about that for awhile.  I think the official TN Democratic party stance is to vote for someone else (The Green, maybe?).

In context, he pretty much said that the baby was a "gift from god," while the act of rape itself was still reprehensible.

Sort of like a consolation prize, I guess :P

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Well I guess the child itself isn't at fault, but I still wouldn't want to inflict it on anybody.

Its terrible you got raped. But as compensation, now you get to look into a face almost the same as the man who did it to you every day for the rest of your life.

Has there been one Republican this year who hasn't said some pigshit about "legitimate" or "God-intended" rape?

That is precisely what he said. In the full quote I believe that he explicitly calls the act of rape reprehensible.
