What a mess the GOP is in... good timing on that whole "no abortion" thing. I'm sure trading in the majority of women voters for some hard-core rightwing religious folks will really swing the election in your favor.
Not looking so good: Akin defies mounting calls to withdraw from Senate race

I'm moving to Midland.
TB, before you move, I suggest you determine if those women were legimately raped, or if they were just date-raped or something harmless like that.

dunno about other states, but marriage is a community in Texas. legally speaking your stuff is hers (and the reverse). hence, your wife cleaning out your bank account isn't stealing; she has merely appropriated what already belongs to her.
I doubt it.
Does it matter? They're looking for volunteers to help rape women! Woot!
Maybe, but with a poor choice of words. Politicians often talk about topics they are not experts in. They simply should avoid such talk, especially if scripting is needed.
I find this push to talk about the same third rail topics every election season rather annoying. We need to worry about what they can actually accomplish.
Akin apologizes:
Dear Voter:
Over the weekend, I made remarks suggesting that rape could be legitimate and that a uterus could think. Today, I would like to offer every woman in Missouri my deepest apology. If your uterus could talk, I’ll bet it would have some choice words about old Todd right about now.
For the last forty-eight hours, I’ve been getting an earful from a lot of you. You’ve said that I’m an ignorant, dangerous man. You’ve said that I should be put away someplace where I can do as little harm as possible. To that I say, I couldn’t agree more. And that place is the U.S. Senate.
I know what some of you are thinking: if we send Todd to the Senate, won’t he be able to do more damage than he did in the House? Well, think again. In the House, I was a member of the Science Committee. Scientific matters that impact the entire nation were entrusted to a man who thinks that lady parts have E.S.P. Electing me to the Senate will get me as far away from science as possible.
But here’s the most important reason to keep me in Washington. As long as I am in Congress, I will be on C-SPAN, where you can monitor me around the clock. If I look like I am about to go off, you can notify the authorities and have me quickly subdued. It’s democracy’s version of the electronic ankle bracelet.
On the other hand, if I lose, I’ll come back to Missouri and be released into the general population. The choice is yours, Missouri. I hope you’ll act like a uterus and do the smart thing.
Vote for me,
Todd

I didn't even catch that readingDoes it matter? They're looking for volunteers to help rape women! Woot!
I had to read it twice as well.
Reminds me of a conversation I overheard once between two co-workers, one of them from Mexico (back in the day)..
White guy "my girlfriend just called, she's coming over tonight, that's good because my ass is ready to "
Mexican "Your ass is ready to ?"
So let me get this strait.
The New Yorker (another liberal rag) is suggesting he get voted back into office, because it's safer than releasing him into the general public?
What can I say? I did a deep search and nobody else was reporting it. There is nothing wrong with being a healthy skeptic considering thinkprogress's track record.ing tough, stringy, wild ass tasting bird.
Oh well. That's a senate seat5 lost. ing asshole.
Ah, ok, now you're just deliberately trolling. Good job.I fell for it in the other thread.
lol...ah, ok, now you're just deliberately trolling. Good job.
on the other hand, if i lose, i’ll come back to missouri and be released into the general population. The choice is yours, missouri. I hope you’ll act like a uterus and do the smart thing.
http://washingtonexaminer.com/democr...3#.UDQFvaO2-7RCall it a wise investment in light of his recent comments: Democrats wanted Missouri Republican congressman Todd Akin to win his state’s hotly contested Senate GOP primary because they believed he gave in bent Senator Claire McCaskill her best shot at retaining her seat. As the Washington Post reported earlier this month:
There’s a reason why Democrats spent over $1.5 million trying to help Akin win his three-way primary. He was the most conservative candidate in the field — and the most unpredictable one. He shook up his campaign staff late last year. He recently released a head-scratching and jumbled campaign ad. And Democrats have already launched a microsite highlighting his controversial statements that won’t play well with moderates. (“America has got the equivalent of the stage III cancer of socialism because the federal government is tampering in all kinds of stuff it has no business tampering in,” Akin once said.)Here’s how the Democrats did it, running ads in the GOP primary that were intended to boost his appeal among the most conservative primary voters:
The latest example is a new radio ad paid for by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee that attacks Rep. Todd Akin (R), but does so slyly, in a manner that appears to be designed to endear him to conservative voters.The Post notes that these ad buys were actually more that Akin spent on his own campaign...
“Todd Akin calls himself the true conservative, but is he too conservative?” asks the narrator of the ad, which is approved by McCaskill’s campaign and paid for by the DSCC. The narrator goes on to note the negative posture Akin has taken toward President Obama, before concluding, “it’s no surprise Todd has been endorsed by the most conservative leaders in our country – Michele Bachmann and Mike Huckabee.”
Bachmann and Huckabee are popular among conservative voters and are from states in the same geographic region as Missouri. If anything, many undecided conservative primary voters who hear their names in the radio ad would be tempted to give him a closer look.
This legitimate rape thing just cracks me up every time I think about it. Aren't these supposed to be Harvard and Yale mutha as?
good call
if the girl knows who date-raped her, they did it wrong amiriteeverybody?
If the Kegels properly, she can spit your right back at you.
