*** YES I KNOW THERE WAS A THREAD YESTERDAY ***

Anyway, my point is slightly different to yesterday's which, for some obscure reason, was in the Religion and Spirituality section.

What is the point in this guy carrying on? For a start, would any woman vote for him after his outrageous statement?

Why not simply resign now instead of being obstinate, and save any shred of credibility and self respect he may still have?

I think Grommit has a sound argument here.

this Congressman relied on his faulty information being well-received by far-right Christians, and it has backfired on him - even the Republicans can't swallow this idea - good to know there are limits to their facile views.

The Congressman has fautlessly proven his Republican credentials by refusing to admit that he was wrong, merely to point out that his 'misuse of words' caused his point to misconstrued.

Tha boils down to - I'm still right, but because you didn;t like what I said, it's your fault for not understanding me, which makes me an ideal Republican, and I am a wonderful asset to my party, and the nation as a whole.

The Democrats must be delighted - right now they could put up a moneky in a suit as a candidate and win.

Hang on - that's not funny, the Republicans did that last time!!!!!!!
should be hung, drawn and quartered. I sat open mouthed for want of a better expression, listening to him on the news link, and wondered not for the first time what the effin hell is wrong with these people.
> try these

OK ...

> * that many/most/all Christians believe in Pro-Life
Yes

> * that many/most/all Christians believe anything that supports their cause
No

> * that these are the words of a politician who knows his audience
No
Ellipsis

Only 1 out of 3.
Must try harder next time.
So you believe he hasn't damaged his chances of being elected then, Gromit?

No need to debate it further. We shall see soon enough ...
