Those who want McCaskill reelected are jumping on this.
Todd Akin is trending on twitter now as a result
“The female body has a way to shut down rape.”
Who elected this idiot?
If the liberals want to destroy you, you shouldn’t make their job easier, as he just did.
This is why Claire was running ads supporting Akin.
Not I. Some of us thought her last ad was almost a ringing endorsement for him & we thought Claire’s team figured he would be an easier target. Now we know..........

Good grief, is that quote for real?
If so, MO sure should have heeded Palin’s endorsement and gone with that Sarah Steelman gal instead!
Looks like Akin is trying to lose a slam-dunk election. Ugh.
It looks like he is doing a good job of destroying himself, without any help from liberals. This looks like it may be another "sure win" senate race turning into a certain loss.
But Noooooo!!!! They didn’t heed Sarah’s pick, Sarah Steelman who was much better than this guy and that Brunner fellow.
I sure as hell hope this isn’t a “Maccaca moment” for Akin!!
He cannot apologize and make all of her worst votes the real issue?
That's not exactly what he said. He said, "The female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down." I think he was talking about pregnancy resulting from the rape.
Not defending the guy. That's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard someone say. Just want to be accurate.
Come on, people...wake up and smell what the liberals are cooking....this is all going to be done to every Republican on the ballot...words twisted to sound worse than the actual quote, out of context, etc...all to keep the liberals in power and to keep the Senate from turning to a point where we can overturn Obamacare.
Quit falling for the media spin, dammit!!
Apology didn’t work for George Allen...This was a wrap for Akin. Until now. No idea how this will work out. Ma was sitting on about $5 million in cash around Primary time (Aug. 7). That was before her Hollywood/union/liberal buds start sending her $$. Ma will play this for all it’s worth.
He also said he was speaking of this through what doctors had told him.
Anyone here know the likelihood of getting pregnant through rape? Anyone?
By the way, how important is this issue to the future of America right now? Is it more important the McCaskill’s support of Obamugabe’s Death Panels?
If we let the scumbag media (like Charles Jaco) decide the agenda, we’ll lose everytime.
Eye on the prize. Republican Senate, Republican White House, Republican House of Representatives. Let the left spin away...keep shoving the truth in their face. Don’t let ‘em distract. Because that is what all the rest of this crap is...
I do, but you aren't going to like it. Statistically the chances of getting pregnant as the result of being raped are identical to any other single act of intercourse.
