You can tell by Akin's awful comb over that he has serious issues with facing reality.

He is a selfish power hungry fool with a very ambitious wife and son as the real story goes ( those two are the campaign staff ) !!!
He made a mess on his own and should have shown some class and quietly left the stage .
But now he is playing the victim card .
I live in MO. Claire McCaskill Is very hard to beat with a really good candidate here. I don’t understand it but every time election time comes she turns outs to be the best of liars. Her political commercials always make the opponent look the fool. To be honest that in not a senate seat we had in the bag.

“Rep. Todd Akin was in Tampa Wednesday night meeting with top conservative groups and donors, several sources confirmed to POLITICO.
The embattled Missouri Senate candidate flew to Tampa to meet with members of the Council for National Policy, a secretive coalition of powerful conservative and evangelical leaders, activists, and donors...”
It might be door stop in the Senate should Akin get there, but it goes a long way toward keeping Dingy Reid out of the door.
Do you work for the McCaskill campaign?
Just because Democrat voters will support a dumbass doesn't mean that Republican voters should be jealous.
Are you daft? He said something stupid, you just don't get it. It went beyond the "legitimate" statement, it went into some stupid notions about human physiology and biology. It was beyond dumb, and anyone who doesn't see that is either willfully ignorant or, well, just plain ignorant.
EVEN IF this guy can find a way to win, he is doing damage to the Republican brand nationwide. Absolutely, he is a selfish asshat.
This guy made a complete fool out of himself on Hannity’s radio show .
You need to hear that conversation on the radio.
The guy was a wacko.
He won a 3 way race thanks to Dems voting in a open primary and with a few millions donated by Dem Claire.
Evidently, Claire McAskill.
Yep. There are several of them. And they all have the same strategy. They only show up to promote 3rd party or stay home. Yet they never show up on threads criticizing the Kenyan or Dem corruption.
Could you please tell Todd to get out of the race? You are literally probably right next to him as you are typing.
Please, come on, comparing global warming to rape.
Give it up.
“Also, for now at least, polls show him still ahead of the embattled incumbent in the race”
Very interesting.
So what if the national RNC has withdrawn its support and money.
Could Mr. Akin win this anyway?
If the polls hold up — even if he slips behind McCaskill, but remains “close” — the RNC and GOPelite may have no other choice but to reconsider and support his campaign.
The title of the article reads:
“Who will stick with Todd Akin?”
I’m not in Missouri, but if I was, I’d vote for him anyway. He may be an S.O.B. — but he’s OUR S.O.B. Whether or not we like him, we need his victory for nationally important reasons.
If Mr. Akin chooses to fight, then the only recourse is to go for broke and fire everything we have at the ‘rats, blast them broadside and then hit them again. Before this, McCaskill was viewed as highly vulnerable. It’s her own “negatives” that account for such low popularity, not Akin’s gaffe.
Perhaps he believes in what Churchill said, referring to the enemy, to paraphrase:
“Never, never, never surrender!”
If we’re going to go down in Missouri, we may as well go down fighting.
Me too. But the Akin fiasco has nothing to do with pro-life vs pro-abortion, Rino vs conservative. And stupidity is not a synonym for "conservatism". We can do better. We don't need a Biden to represent us.
Let's not forget, it was Akin and his remarks that saved the day for Biden. VP Biden was the news cycle before Akin had done what he did.
Could you please tell Todd to get out of the race? You are literally probably right next to him as you are typing.
Are you making a personal attack because I live in Missouri?
Yeah with such fighting words as "legitimate rape" an that the female reproductive system shuts down during rape.
I will go down with the ship /sarcasm
You can tell by Akin's awful comb over that he has serious issues with facing reality.
He’s eating Pizza Uno in some cubicle in Chicago yelling to his teammates: “You won’t believe how many of those FReepeer Teabaggers are buying my “get behind Akin” schlok!” “God, those trailer trash bitter clingers is stupid!!” “Courtney, how’s it goin’ over at Hot Air?”
No I am politically attacking you for your support of Mr. (legitimate rape), Todd Akin.
No, you’re right about Akin. I used to like him. But then I found out that there are fewer than a dozen words that rhyme with ‘Akin’, and that just wasn’t enough for a lot of puns and headlines, so I’m achin’ and I kin’t support Akin. Are you an Akin kin?
