Not surprising, we’ve ripped defeat out from the jaws of victory often the last few years. Angle in Nevada, O’Donnell in Connecticut, Akin in Missouri. It’s silly, but we do it all the time. We could have thrown a mushroom against Reid and won, but of course we didn’t. Frustrating to say the least.
I agree. This is so frustrating and so unnecessary. When are these idiots going to learn you have to stay alert, on message, focused and disciplined.
Todd Akin should have been thanking God, his supporters and incredible luck that two better known candidates beat themselves to a pulp and allowed him to steal the nomination.
But no, during his first momemt in front of a prime time national stage he gives a rambling, incredibly stupid off-the-cuff answer to a deadly serious question. Ugh, so frustrating. Honest to God how could he do this?
The personal anguish he is suffering must be excruciating. He had the Senate seat in his hands and now he is fatally damaged goods. All we are going to be hearing from now until the election are two words, “legitimate rape.”
If he was an honorable, intelligent and very courageous man he would realize that he can no longer lead the fight against Senator Claire McCaskill. That he cannot be a credible spokesman for the conservative or pro-life movement.
Todd should do the right thing and step aside and let someone else who is not fatally damaged to carry on the good fight. I hope he does the right thing but I am not holding my breath.
Uuuhhh, might want to check that Connecticut thing....
“Not surprising, we’ve ripped defeat out from the jaws of victory often the last few years. Angle in Nevada, O’Donnell in Connecticut, Akin in Missouri.”
And don’t forget that Tea Party favorite fool Ken Buck in Colorado in 2010. We were a lock to gain a senate seat there due to a very weak Rat candidate and a very divisive Rat primary. But Buck stuck his size 12 cowboy boots in his yap at every chance, and the minute they were yanked out, they snapped right back in each and every time and pretty much stayed there the entire campaign. The man is basically an idiot.
