Stupid Republican idea of the day

[Starving Artist]

As should be obvious to any thinking individual, these people are not supporters of rape. How utterly ridiculous. This is the type of inflammatory, over-the-top rhetoric that has caused so much of this country to be at each others' throats and has made it virtually impossible for the two sides to come to agreement on anything.

The people voting against it are simply people who see no need to get the government involved when rape is already illegal. Anyone who is raped can bring charges and have their case heard in court. And if a company interferes or attempts to prevent it for whatever reason, they can be sued.

In other words, remedies already exist.

Democrats want to get government involved in everything possible; Republicans want to keep government out of everything possible. It's as simple as that.

Not to be pedantic, though I love to do it, that's an "accent acute." A tilde is the "squigly line" (~) over a letter. Spanish does not use it over a vowel.

ETA: That's "acute accent." Funny how much French one can pick up while still not speaking enough French to order lunch.

Strange, I speak spanish and we always called it a tilde
or an accent interchangeably, yesterday a fellow nitpicker friend told me it was properly called tilde, now you say is not...

Intriguing....
