Who has done that, Oldtimer? Who has alleged that women are "the cause of rape"?

Hi sweetbasil. What's your answer to your questions?

Hello again,

Obama- no I won't be voting for him;however, I do believe Romney loss the election a while back. I think Obama might be winning by more than 5% but less than 8% to Romney in the total vote count; however, my instict can easily be totally wrong.

1. Investment in technology and research in the industry so that we can develop new seeds etc. to help farmers.
2. Making it easier for small farmers/ranchers to access capital so that they can buy better and more efficient equipment. This move will require less government involvement and bureaucracy.
3. Expanding our agricultural markets beyond our U.S. borders, and become more diversify in what we grow/raise so that we can meet different types of demands for agricultural products.
As for number 1. What new investment in technology would you have the government make, in addition to the research being done by some of the major players in the private sector? Monsanto, et al. Just wondering.

Hello "Traveler",
You sure have good questions, but I am so ignorant and I would need to get "Agriculture for Dummies 101" to start wrapping my mind around some good ideas for investing in this particular sector of the industry. When I asked that question, I wasn't thinking to incorporate the private sector; if I were a candidate and future president, and I truly have an interest in helping this industry thrive, I would keep any politician away from getting involved. My plan would be to get real people who work in the industry (e.g., people like yourself) who have ideas of how they would improve a particular task or machinery etc, and then I would bring a group of researchers and technology experts to work together with people like yourself. The problem with our government is that every idiot in Congress wants to have his/her hands in every pot even when they never being around cattle, crops, etc... and then they get to write laws that end up affecting industries negatively.

Sweet Basil, Most new machinery or at least the ideas come from practicing farmers and ranchers that see a need for a better machine or way of doing a job. The government in most cases just impedes the progress. Granted government sponsored research has been beneficial in places the corporate world has seen a need and filled it.

Now I'm curious. Why do you think Romney loss the election awhile back, if you don't mind saying.

Hello "FH,"

Without looking at any statistics that are available right now, I must say that I have this "gut feeling" for a while back that is telling me that Romney's campaign's manager is failing him... We shall see what the election brings...

P.S. I don't know about you, but I wish people like Rick Perry and Ron Paul would have had a better chance, because they would have given Obama a run for his money...- it is just my personal opinion...

Romney in a landslide, IF enough of the idiots in my great state of Ohio change their mind , or enough of us with any sense outvote the morons, that the polls keep showing Oblamea with a lead. Somehow he is winning with the women by 15 pts. WHY ? Do they not care if we're 16 TRILLION IN DEBT OR STILL HAVE HIGH UNEMPLOYMENT ? Oblameas adgenda is MORE OF THE SAME. I will be quite ashamed if Obama wins re=election due to my states vote.

I agree Romney needs to keep pushing Energy Independence for us. Stop buying oil from the people who would rather kill us.

Speaking of morons-- this may be a good reason women fear Republicans and Romney-- and why the Tea Party name and candidates are so lowly thought of by so many...

No wonder women don't want to see Repubs in the White House or Senate when they have the intelligence of an Akin or Mourdock...


Indiana Republican: When life begins from rape, 'God intended' it

By Reuters
Richard Mourdock, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate in Indiana, said in a debate on Tuesday that "even when life begins with that horrible situation of rape, that is something that God intended to happen."

The remark drew criticism from his Democratic opponent, congressman Joe Donnelly, as well as from Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney's camp - even as Mourdock defended his words.

During the debate in New Albany, Indiana, Mourdock, Donnelly and Libertarian candidate Andrew Horning were asked about their views on abortion.

"The only exception I have to have an abortion is in that case of the life of the mother," Mourdock said. "I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God and I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape that it is something God intended to happen."


Mourdock, the state treasurer who is a favorite of the conservative Tea Party movement, ousted longtime Senator Richard Lugar in the Republican primary earlier this year. He is locked in a tight race with Donnelly ahead of the November 6 election.

Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz called Mourdock's comments "outrageous and demeaning to women."

Donnelly said that rape "is a heinous and violent crime in every instance."

"The God I believe in and the God I know most Hoosiers believe in, does not intend for rape to happen — ever," Donnelly said in a statement after the debate, using the nickname for Indiana residents. "What Mr. Mourdock said is shocking, and it is stunning that he would be so disrespectful to survivors of rape."

Romney, who on Monday launched statewide ads endorsing Mourdock, distanced himself on Tuesday from the remark by his fellow Republican. "Governor Romney disagrees with Richard Mourdock's comments, and they do not reflect his views," said Romney spokeswoman Andrea Saul.

Republicans need a net gain of four seats to gain control of the U.S. Senate from the Democrats, or three if Romney wins the White House. Republicans began 2012 in a strong position, but have suffered some self-inflicted wounds.

In Missouri, Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin prompted an uproar by saying women's bodies have defenses against pregnancy after "legitimate rape," and now trails in his race.

Mourdock issued a statement after the debate that said: "God creates life, and that was my point. God does not want rape, and by no means was I suggesting that He does. Rape is a horrible thing, and for anyone to twist my words otherwise is absurd and sick."

A September Howey-DePauw poll put Donnelly up by 2 percentage points over Mourdock, 40 to 38 percent, with 7 percent for Horning.


INDIANA:

Republican candidate Richard Mourdock has been on defense since he made controversial comments on pregnancy and rape.

"I struggled with it myself for a long time, but I came to realize that life is that gift from God," Mourdock said at a debate, after noting he believes in abortion only when the mother's life is in danger. "And I think even when life begins in that horrible situation of rape, that it is something that God intended to happen."

Democrats pounced on the remark, tying it to other Mourdock comments opposing bipartisan compromise to paint him as outside the political mainstream. According to a poll released Friday by the well-respected Howey Politics Indiana, it’s worked. Rep. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) leads Mourdock by 11 points — 47 to 36 percent.

“It’s all over but the crying. Joe Donnelly is poised to succeed Republican Sen. Richard Lugar in the U.S. Senate,” GOP pollster Christine Matthews, who helped conduct the poll, wrote in Friday’s edition of Howey Politics Indiana.

The race could tighten – Mourdock’s campaign insists it’s still ahead, and an 11-point lead seems large — but his remarks are likely the last impression voters will take to the polls.


Its refreshing to see that the majority of the folks in Indiana don't want any of these old grey haired male woman hating Tea Baggers representing them ...

Altho it was probably time for him to go- US agriculture will miss Senator Lugar- as he was a Senator that was able to use compromise and get things done..

What about John Edwards and Anthony Weiner? Those are the first two Democrats that come to mind.
I'd take Romney and Ryan over them ANY DAY and you are just conjectering mentioning them, there is PROOF of Edwards and Weiner. Or have you forgotten?

You sure do speak for a lot of people when you post things like this:
"Speaking of morons-- this may be a good reason women fear Republicans and Romney-- and why the Tea Party name and candidates are so lowly thought of by so many... "

So far it's basically YOU saying this. Why don't they come here and say it themselves???? It would have more credibility. It's easy to put words in other people's mouths when they don't even know you are doing it.

You been throwing that crap around for ages. You either spill your guts as to who you were claiming was doing this. If not we will consider it another one of your LIES. You can't keep throwing that crap around. Remeber when you throw out an accusation you are going to have to prove your allegation.

It never ceases to amaze me how Oldtimer can continue to try to portray himself as the board's great defender of woman's rights. Does anybody remember his first reaction to Governor Palin being announced as the VP nominee in 2008? If I remember correctly, he was more interested in discussing the size of her breasts. :???:

Aside from the fact that these statements are complete non-sequitors......


Yep, it's her body. So what.....What's her point????

Yep, she can use birth control all she wants. However She does NOT have the RIGHT to force someone to else pay for it.

Who (of any import) has said that the victim of a violent crime is at fault.(except of course liberals who always seem to make perpetrators the victim)

There has been a major shift in the past few weeks regarding womens' impression of Romney. I will restate what I said earlier. The only women who still blindly support Obama are either stupid, or view abortion as an appropriate form of birth control.

Only 12 days left until the election!
What would you say to one of the candidates if he were to ask you the following question two questions:

1. What is one thing that I can do to improve my compaign in these last days?

2. What is one thing that you believe it is needed in your industry, that I as the next president can do to help make it thrive in the coming years?


Sorry for being off topic in my earlier post, but I felt compelled to repsond the previous drivel before 1st responding to your question.....

Romney. ( by 6. - I've had a bet on it since late August :D )

Just keep getting your message heard. Government is the problem not the solution.

Keep the current tax rates parmanent. The mystery of future tax rates has been a main impediment to the rebound of the economy.
Repeal Obamacare. It's evil and the antithesis of a free society. It has also been one of the primary reasons the economy hasn't rebounded.
Eliminate the inheritance tax. It's evil.
Eliminate the EPA. It's evil.
Eliminate 50% of all federal bueraucratic positions. They're an unnecessary drain on the nations finances. And the savings would eliminate the deficit and help pay down the bebt in a heart beat.
Repeal Obamacare. It's evil and the antithesis of a free society.
More government is the problem not the solution.

I know, I repeated myself on a couple of them. I felt they were worth restating.

Well that would take an economy which we dont have with your messiah there olddrunkard. Get rid of "i need to blame other people for my shortcomings" and we will be just fine. But with the worst president this country has ever had we wont have any commercials at all pretty soon. What will replace them will be ads of him proclaiming everything is just fine in my country.
