Wow. Guess we won't be hearing much more from Mr. Friess (the whole interview is classic).
Can somebody who's been around please explain what this even means? Bayer aspirin?
Quote:
Foster Friess, the conservative financier behind Rick Santorum's super-PAC, was on MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports" a few minutes ago. Mitchell asked him whether he was concerned about Santorum's stands on social issues, and their potential to alienate voters. Friess said that he thought the social issues were a distraction, with so many people struggling financially -- which is reasonable enough. Then he said this:

This contraception thing, my gosh, it’s inexpensive. You know, back in my days, they’d use Bayer aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees and it wasn’t that costly.



:shock: (And that's Stern's, I've almost never used it)


He is making a joke about how it is the child's or woman's responsibility to say 'no' to sex when they do not wish to be impregnated. I heard one similar when an herbalist was asked about an herbal contraceptive. He recommended orange juice. Orange juice? Yes, drink it instead. :roll:

It's an old joke.

It is pretty hard to get pregnant if you hold an aspirin tightly between your knees.

There's also one about giving the daughter a bucket and telling her to put both feet in it.. etc., etc.

It's a piss poor joke for the circumstances.

Under the circumstances, it is about as appropriate as a rape joke or an AIDS joke.

Abstinence-only sex education programs are still mandated in some school systems. For a time, Federal funding was targeted only at such programs. And the Republican Congress of 1996 provided an eight-point definition of abstinence-only education. It is not quite what you would expect:
Quote:
THE FEDERAL DEFINITION OF ABSTINENCE-ONLY EDUCATION

An eligible abstinence education program is one that (emphasis mine):

A) has as its exclusive purpose, teaching the social, psychological, and health gains to be realized by abstaining from sexual activity;

B) teaches abstinence from sexual activity outside marriage as the expected standard for all school-age children;

C) teaches that abstinence from sexual activity is the only certain way to avoid out-of-wedlock pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, and other associated health problems;

D) teaches that a mutually faithful monogamous relationship in the context of marriage is the expected standard of human sexual activity;

E) teaches that sexual activity outside the context of marriage is likely to have harmful psychological and physical effects;

F) teaches that bearing children out-of-wedlock is likely to have harmful consequences for the child, the child's parents, and society;

G) teaches young people how to reject sexual advances and how alcohol and drug use increase vulnerability to sexual advances; and

H) teaches the importance of attaining self-sufficiency before engaging in sexual activity.

Source: U.S. Social Security Act, §510(b)(2).

What was the scientific or legal basis for many of these assertions? There were none, but evangelical Christianity provided plenty of justification.

Incidentally, abstinence-only sex education neither delays the initiation of sexual activity nor reduce rates of teen pregnancy and sexually transmitted disease. In other words, it does not work, but it is oh so very moral.

Republicans decry the Federal government for its "attempts to legislate morality" but are very happy to legislate sexual morality.

I wonder if Sarah Palin laughed. (I don't believe Track was a preemie.)


Or if Bristol laughed.

Or Track and his wife laughed.



I'll bet they were rolling with laughter.

Ahem, I haven't "been around", but where I think it comes from is something Ann Landers used to write in her column that the only way The Pill is 100% effective is to hold one between your knees. My grandmother would call him stari bedak.

Rasmussen has Santorum leading Rmoney by 18 points in Ohio. =)) The Republican Party has lost its mind way.

A Quinnipiac University poll shows a lead for Santorum in Ohio but not of quite the size of the Rasmussen Poll. Rasmussen has 42% Santorum, 24% Romney. The difference probably arises from Rasmussen's proprietary definition of "likely voter," although robo-polling might have contributed. A seven point lead is very different from an 18 point lead.

Quinnipiac University poll.
Quote:
The poll found Santorum with support from 36 percent of likely Republican primary voters, compared to 29 percent for former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney. Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich lags in third with 20 percent, followed by Texas Representative Ron Paul with 9 percent. Ohio votes on Super Tuesday, March 6.

As expressed before, I have serious reservations about Santorum being the Republican nominee. I do think that Santorum would be easier for Obama to beat than would Romney, but the risks of a Santorum presidency are so great that I prefer the Romney risk.

However, a Santorum nomination might do great damage to Republicans down-ticket. This would be a good thing. It would also be a reason for the Republican Establishment to block a Santorum nomination.

Santorum won't be the nominee. Santorum is not a serious candidate. He's in it to raise his speaking fee and sell books. The eventual nominee is going to be Rmoney. The unknowns are how long the others stay in the race, whether Paul will get his turn at the top before the primary season is over, how far the nutjobs drive Rmoney to the right before he gets the right number of nominees and how many more times he shoves his foot in his mouth. The Republican establishment will not stand for Santorum, Gingrich or Paul as the nominee because none of them can beat Obama. Maybe Rmoney will get a nutjob VP candidate, not Palin, but there's really no question who will be the Republican nominee. They got nobody but Rmoney and they know it deep in there hearts and all this gurgling to the top of Bachmann, then Perry, then Cain, then Gingrich, then Santorum is the base squealing, " No, no, no, not him, please."

The GOP needs to get itself a new base, away from the extreme semi-nutjobs.

CNN: Republican donor expected to shell out $10 million to Gingrich super PAC
Quote:
In a move that could again dramatically shake up the Republican primary race, billionaire and major Republican donor Sheldon Adelson is expected to donate an additional $10 million to the super PAC supporting Newt Gingrich, Winning Our Future, a source with knowledge of the donation told CNN.

That contribution is expected soon, before the end of the month, the source said. The timing is important because Gingirch, whose campaign has been lagging, is hoping to do well in several of the upcoming Super Tuesday states that vote on March 6 to boost his effort. His allies will need that money to be in a position to help. Because ten states go to the polls on that one day, money is key in order to do well.

Such a large gift will give Winning Our Future a major financial shot in the arm and will help it narrow the financial disparity it has with the super PACs supporting Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum. Both of those groups are up with major TV ad buys while Winning Our Future is up with several radio ad campaigns.

Adelson, a Nevada casino mogul, and his extended family have already given $11 million to that PAC.
