“McCaskill was a disaster as senator and was voted out as soon as the people realized she was a jibbering idiot.”
She should have been voted out in 2012 - but Todd Akin couldn’t keep his mouth and brain lined up in the same direction and she got an extra term as Senator.
Josh Hawley thankfully rid Missouri of her in 2018.
Akin is a classic example of how dems win. I had a dem supporter say it this way:
Are all you pubbies stupid prudes. Did none of them really like sex or were they so brainwashed by domineering prudish mothers and stupid preachers ranting about ‘fornication’ that they are all terrified of ‘sex’. Didn’t they like chasing and screwing girls in high school and college? Or are they all stupid prudes so that we know all we have to do is hit them with a good question about something sexual, abortion, birth control, age of consent, whatever and the pubby will start sweating, and stammering, and his face will flush bright red and he is sure to say something really dumb we can instantly turn against him.
Interesting point.
Yeah, I’m still carrying a grudge against Huckabee for encouraging Akin to stay in the race instead of withdrawing.
When McCaskill came to our small town promoting the Obamacare bill, you could tell she was afraid of the reception she would get.
Had security all over the place while she lectured us yokels to shut up and accept what was for our own good.
