Missouri: Todd Akin’s ‘Legitimate Rape’ Comment Ignites Firestorm

Roll Call ^ | 8/19/12 | Meredith Shiner

[randita]

This is highly offensive. I hope he steps down. We have to have this seat.

[randita]

I can’t believe this!

[p. henry]

He has to withdraw now.

[Tennessee Nana]

Do you have someone ready to go who can take his place ???

[Old Sarge]

[GlockThe Vote]

what a fool.

how on earth do these idiots make it to public office?

[Frank_2001]

I agree with you, he needs to drop out !!!!

[Moorings]

Claire is going to use this to cover up all her failings and short comings. She will use this all the way to November.

[Kickass Conservative]

Look at the bright side, this could have happened the end of October.

Now we will see the Obama Media trying to brand every Republican running for office with these ignorant comments.

Looks like quite the setup to me.

[Girlene]

To everyone demanding that he step down and be replaced by someone else......is this even possible in Missouri?

[randita]

Sarah Steelman, whom Sarah Palin endorsed, would be my pick.

[scbison]

They have until Tuesday August 21, 5 pm CDT to make change.

[KansasGirl]

It was an idiotic thing to say. Why was he even talking about this issue rather than the economy, debt, deficit, Obamacare, and the fact Claire has been Obama’s biggest cheerleader all along the way?

[Kickass Conservative]

Only Democrats can misspeak, didn’t you get the memo?

The die is cast. If this idiot doesn’t disappear ASAP, he will drag down every other Republican running for Office.

Ignorance is curable, Stupidity is forever.
This guy is now immortal.

McCaskill spent a great deal of money to help Akin’s get the Republican nomination. It seems that she knows what she is doing.

McCaskill is a menace to the human race and would have a hard time winning a race for dog catcher. But, maybe all she needs is the Missouri Republican Party.

[Moorings]

This is a seat that we could have easily won. What was going through this guy's head?!!

Stay with the economy! Claire and her friends in the senate are trying to divert attention from the terrible economy.

[bray]

What he said was correct it was just misspoke in phraseology. What he was saying was a real rape rather than statutory or fake rape the woman’s reproduction shuts down so pregnancy is rare. He should explain his statement.

[Kickass Conservative]

Just imagine if Sarah endorsed this guy, geez...

[Sarah Barracuda]

Thank God Sarah did NOT endorse him. She endorsed Sarah Steelman, people should have seen it as a warning sign that McCaskill wanted to run against Akin so badly, that would have been a HUGE red flag as far as I’m concerned. Dems always tell us who they are afraid of, and it seemed that they were NOT scared of Akin.
We have to get this seat back, if McCaskill wins the Dems can still maintain control of the Senate, we wouldn’t be able to repeal Obamacare.
