His campaign was about reducing women to #ladyparts

it wasn't a Democrat that said women couldn't get pregnant via rape. It wasn't a Democrat that called pregnancy via rape, a gift from God. If you want the Republicans to have chance, you need to gets these kinds of yahoos out of the party.
The first guy was roundly and swiftly criticized by the Republican Party which withdrew all support from him and pressured him to drop out. Blame the man, not the party. A person does not need permission from the party to run under its banner.
And the second guy, as previously discussed, expressed his personal view (so as to explain his principled opposition to all abortion) that the innocent growing baby should be regarded as a gift from God (how terrible! /sarcasm).
The first guy was an idiot, not for being against all abortion, but because his belief was based in part on pseudo-science and implied women were lying about rape. The second guy unwisely walked into a minefield in an effort to express his moral views. The Republican Party is the only pro-life party. It doesn't need to toss someone out for being 'too' pro-life.
Obama said there should be no restriction on abortion, ever. The Democratic Party removed the word "rare" from their platform when it comes to abortion. To me, that is extreme. If we want to demonize a party based on the issue of abortion it should be the Democratic Party.
The Democratic Party has reduced the importance of women to whether they get their government-funded abortions. It's always about abortion and Planned Parenthood. Women dressed up as 'ladyparts' and the Obama campaign's blog posted: "Vote like your lady parts depend on it." Perhaps you cannot see what a demeaning self-parody that is.
Maybe I should dress up like manparts and beg men to vote based on their manparts. Talk about the neutering of the American male or some such nonsense. Or you know...try to appeal to people based on economic policies or something.
