This guy is a liability.
You better vote for Claire. It’s your only hope.
Oh please grow up, ladylike is now a dirty word?
The real story is Todd Akin breathed.
What’s wrong with what he said? (aside from the fact that it upsets the republicans for Claire)
When lies become the norm, telling the truth is a crime.
I’m among the non defeatists who are making contributions to help Akin in the absence of support from the despicable RNC and other GOPe.
I urge others to support him also and not allow yourself to be lulled into depression and pessimism.

I can remember when calling a woman ladylike was considered a compliment.
Things have changed, not for the better. But they have changed, and something like this just adds to the impression that Akin’s a clueless fossil. Maybe he should just shut up altogether and let his surrogates run the campaign until election day.
psh- if you are offended by this you shouldn’t be in politics. It is only an issue because of his previous comments. Fact is he is still very much in this race, most believe it to be a horse race at this point. I don’t care for Akin much but the GOP would be smart to make some moves to help him.
How will Senators refer to each other from now on, given that they can no longer say "Gentleman from Missouri" or "Gentle Lady from Missouri?"

Did you watch/listen to the debate? She wasn’t ladylike. She was shrill, angry, and attacking at every opportunity. She rarely presented any of her positions. Akin mopped the floor with her (hopefully, Rachel Weinier doesn’t think the term “mopped” insinuates McCaskill should be doing domestic chores), and now the press is worried he will start polling better.
I hope the GOP-e doesn’t wet themselves when they see this article, and renew their attacks on Akin.
Scandalous! /sarc
Remember when Arlen Specter told Michele Bachmann to act like a lady on the radio.
Good times.
We ripped Arlen a good one for it.
Agreed, but he’s all we’ve got at this point—and we need that seat. He’s an imperfect vessel, but he’s the only ship out of the harbor.
Oh come on, already.
Some of you people sound like POLITICALLY CORRECT LIBS.
What’s happened to the Free Republic?
Did anybody see the debate when a question was raised about the need for healthy foods?
Claire looked fat and stupid trying to talk about healthy eating...when she’s about 135 lbs overweight.
And what is wrong with “ladylike”? is it a dirty word now? Seriously folks enough crapping in your pants for no reason...
You are the problem....... Personal vanity and lack of faith are conservative killers
Hey, he's the candidate, it's either him or McCaskill for senate from MO in 2013.
Why don't you just put out a yard sign for her.........
I don't see why when he's speaking the truth. If he's twisting some Democrats' panties, then all the better.
Powder..patch..ball FIRE!
Akin is going to win Missouri.
Mckaskill has tried everything she can do and still is only a couple of points ahead.
Akin ran his first commercial today showing us the Claire nobody likes and it is good. Uses her own words to say if you don’t like me fire me...
Mckaskills campaign is besides themselves, the her campaign manager was on the news last night almost crying he was so frustrated.
Blunt, Gingrich etal... have stepped in.
Romney leads in MO by +7 and trending.
