But all rapists, just like all racists,
vote Republican. That's only the opinion of one rapist, though. Herewith, the darkest humor you -- certainly I -- have read this election cycle.
Hi! I’m a rapist. I’m one of those men who likes to force myself on
women without their consent or desire and then batter them sexually. The
details of how I do this are not particularly important at the moment —
although I love when you try to make distinctions about “forcible rape”
or “legitimate rape” because that gives me all sorts of wiggle room — but I will tell you one of the details about why
I do it: I like to control women, and also and independently, I like to
remind them how little control they have. There’s just something about
making the point to a woman that her consent and her control of her own
body is not relevant against the need for a man to possess that body and
control it that just plain gets me off. A guy’s got needs, you know? And my need is for control. Sweet, sweet control.
So I want to take time out of my schedule to thank you for supporting my right to control a woman’s life, not just when I’m raping her, but for all the rest of her life as well.
You really need to
read. the whole. thing.
We are swiftly headed toward a nation that prosecutes women for trying to end a rape pregnancy (or any other one for that matter). We are already one which prevents women --
by law in 31 states -- from denying visitation rights
and even custody to the rape baby daddy.

If this conversation doesn't sway the undecided women who have
swung Romney in recent weeks, then something is very wrong in this country. (I think
it is swaying them, FWIW.)
Two years ago Republicans ran on jobs and governed on restricting women's reproductive rights. How does anyone think that's going to change in 2012?
Update: You think
I'm exaggerating?
Really?!
