In the House, 78 percent of Republicans voted against emergency aid. In the Senate, those 36 votes represent 80 percent of Republicans. The overwhelming majority of Republicans, well more than three-quarters, now approach natural disasters as political fodder, another opportunity to push deficit hysteria and to force massive cuts to other domestic spending. Tax cuts to the wealthy? Those pay for themselves. Rebuilding destroyed communities populated by millions of Americans? Only if you cut other government programs. In other words, the vast majority of Republicans are assholes.

The Top 5 Quotes About Rape from Republican Men

agvnotes:

These are the best GOP rape quotes I could find - but message me if you have more! Let’s hold these people accountable. 

1. Todd Akin: “If it’s a legitimate rape, the female body has ways of shutting that whole thing down” - mid 2012 Senate Campaign 

2. Claytie Williams: “If it’s inevitable, just relax and enjoy it” - mid 1990 Gubernatorial race in Texas 

3.  Chuck Winder: “I would hope that when a woman goes in to a physician with a rape issue, that physician will indeed ask her about perhaps her marriage, was this pregnancy caused by normal relations in a marriage or was it truly caused by a rape. I assume that’s part of the counseling that goes on.” - March 2012 

4.  Ken Buck: “A jury could very well conclude that this is a case of buyer’s remorse … It appears to me … you invited him over… the appearance is of consent.” - October 2010 

5. Rick Santorum: “I think the right approach is to accept this horribly created — in the sense of rape — but nevertheless a gift in a very broken way, the gift of human life, and accept what God has given to you… rape victims should make the best of a bad situation.” - January, 2012

Just remember that President Obama wants to extend a tax cut for the MIDDLE class, while Mitt Romney and the Republicans want to continue a tax cut for the hyper-rich. Which is understandable I guess because Mitt Romney's millions are already stashed away in Switzerland and other tax-free havens so he doesn't have to worry about that sort of thing.

"During a Capitol press conference Thursday, (Michigan State Rep. Lisa Brown noted 'vagina' is the 'medically correct term' for the female organ at the center of the Legislature's ongoing abortion restriction debate. 'If I can't say the word vagina, why are we legislating vaginas?' Brown said. 'What language should I use? 'We're all adults here.'"
