Dem hopeful (Bernie) Sanders once penned essay on women’s rape fantasy

Yeah, people who are into kinky sex are so horrible. Oh wait, that's actually pretty common. The only wrong thing here (and it is wrong no matter who does it) is thinking that one's preferences are superior or universal.
 
I think the point of the article is gonna go over A LOT of peoples heads
 
'A 43 year old essay? Obviously a reason to totally discredit a candidate. Days old support for a pedophile? Well, that’s just an expression of religious freedom.'
 
Yeah well duh, all women want to be gaged and tied and raped by several men.. I thought everyone knew that? ;)


Tim-

You're the only one, it seems. Because that's not what Bernie said at all.
 
Exactly what I was talking about. FOX news, "Special Report with Bret Baier", whole segment on how Berne Sanders, somehow ties into with abortion....
 
What was he, twenty five?? You think people don't mature?

I seem to remember a lot being made of what Mitt Romney did in his youth...

This is sauce for the Democrat goose.
 
Please democrats, nominate this nitwit.

we can only hope

there is no republican who could defeat him

that cannot be said about hillary
 
I don't care if he has sexual fantasies about having sex with dogs, cats and rare species of whales...all I care about is where he stands on the issues.

Nothing else matters to me to any remotely significant extent.

What a candidate legally does with their private time is NONE of anyone else's business.

almost agree with you

one can still be legal in their actions while also being unethical

an example is bill clinton getting his knob polished by a subservient intern; his actions may have nominally been found legal but the absence of ethics is troubling

Troubling if your 19 year old daughter goes to work for him? But for the nation as a whole...why?

You are entitled to your reasons for voting for someone. But I do not much care what someone legally does with their private time...all I care about is where they stand on the issues.

In fact, I am sick and tired of squeaky clean politicians who are incapable of original thought. I want someone who thinks outside of the box and people that do that often live their lives that way as well.

Yeah that's all we need is a more liberal extension of Obama. Road to prosperity = more entitlements, more benefits, more free stuff. However all that does is make for more dependency and makes the income inequality worse.

My dog could beat Mr Sanders

it would not be free
Bernie would make the billionaires and multinational corporations that have done so well over the past 40 years pony up to cover the added benefits for the lower/middle classes

My dog could beat Mr Sanders
a dog that smart should be writing your posts; be assured, he is much needed

the wrongness ethically was a person of power imposing himself on a subordinate staff member
maybe not illegal in every instance, but certainly unethical
using that as an example to illustrate why i am not fine with politicians doing whatever they want so long as they do not cross the legal line
i do not want them crossing the ethical line (at least whatever is found ethical in my eyes)

Well, that is important to you...not to me..not in a politician.

I assume most politicians are selfish jerks who could care less about the country or the people they are getting fellatio from. And I assume Clinton (who I think is a pathetic coward - mostly for Rwanda...another story) is in the majority of powerful Washington types for abusing his/her intern.

So I do not much care what they do in their spare time. And technically, what he did with Lewinsky was not illegal and she was of age. Sure, it was a lousy thing to do to a young woman with a low self esteem. But it's not like it is the first time he has had problems with women.
And since it was legal (outside of being so stupid as to lie to Congress about it - even though I think it is none of Congress's business), it is none of the voter's business, imo.


BTW, on a very superficial note...I just looked up Monica Lewinsky. And she looks great (especially for a 41 year old woman)...much better, imo, then when she was 'involved' with Clinton.

This is from last year:

Dem hopeful Sanders once penned essay on women

I present yet another of America's far left icons, for your entertainment.

So...?

The concept of rape in sexual fantasies and how common it is in our culture has been an ongoing part of gender discussion for decades, and still is even now. We've had threads about it on DP in very recent memory. Just because he is acknowledging this fact doesn't mean they're "his views," whatever that's supposed to mean. He's writing about gender culture. Oh, the horror!

If you actually look at the article, it seems quite critical of these gender dynamics to me.

But of course, reading for comprehension would require to get outside of one's own hackery.

For those same decades we have been told that rape isn't about sex, it is about power.

Yes. And that is one of the many reasons that rape fantasies have caused so much discussion amongst those of us who look at gender issues.

Attack the rich and increase benefits and entitlements, you say that's the way to prosperity. You liberals will never get it. My dog knows better than that. That is why he will never get elected, let alone get the nomination.

As for my dog needing to write my post. Hell you can't keep up with me, let alone by dog.
