what a selfish choice he made.
This “storm” can’t be weathered. Press won’t allow it. He needs to drop out now!! Akin is an a-hole!
GOP needs to pull the rug out. Tell him to take a hike.
I can’t even imagine what other stupid things this guy is going to say before the election.
The stupid president was just asked about this in press room. He was asked if he thought all republicans thought like akin. No Akin needs to go. This is ridiculous. Put Steelman in.
If Todd Akin loses this November he has nobody else to blame but Todd Akin.
He is a selfish a-wipe.
He will now lose what was an easy pick up to Claire McCaskill, the most vulnerable Dem.
Jerk!
No way he is going to step aside. He is a professional politician. He is not qualified for any real occupation.
Congratulations on your re-election, Sen. McCaskill.
Maybe he can, but he had better get his brain in gear, the MSM will be gunning for the slightest mistake and trying to provoke one.
Damn dumb mistake right out of the gate.
He still didn’t explain how a woman can somehow magically not get pregnant if forcibly raped. He’s a freakin’ weirdo. And now any body who is pro life is attached to this guy’s thinking. Pisses me off.
And there goes the Senate and probably the country with it. This little butterfly’s wingstroke is already growing into a hurricane and is quickly killing any momentum of the Ryan pick.
good. i’m going to back this guy to the hilt.
Good luck to him because he’ll be doing it without any national money and no visits from R/R.
I’m more concerned that enough people would stay home and away from this loon that MO is now back in play for Obama.
What pisses me off is that everyone is going to be asked about this stupid comment for about a week instead of focusing on the economy.
The MSM will not let this die. He needs to leave NOW.
Is Kazan poster on here a mole?
McCaskill`s best campaign investment ever. Too bad the idiot syndrome couldn`t have instead struck some candidate in a blue state with a 35-point deficit. It wouldn`t matter then But noooooooo... Mr. Gaffemeister just had to be running for a seat that was actually winnable.
"I'm not a quitter," Akin said.I love this guy! Another Huckabee, Jindal, Santorum, (and what used to be) Ryan... real men love babies (and their mothers), no matter how they were created or formed.
“I was talking about forcible rape, and it was absolutely the wrong word,” Akin said, in reference to his use of the word “legitimate” to modify “rape.”
The very NATURE of rape is FORCE..and yet again he qualifies it with "forcible"...I don't get it. I don't understand what he is thinking. If he's trying to distinguish between date rape or that women who aren't ACTUALLY raped but say they were to get an abortion- he's going waaaay too deep into the weeds for a campaign like this. Regardless- he's done a good bit of harm.
