The Akin thing is big

[ibegurpard]

my Republican sister told me she would never vote for someone who said something like that and my teabilly cousin just said his gene pool should be dosed with Chlorox.
They HAVE to get rid of him.

[Lint Head]

1. The GOP is aching from Akin.

[uponit7771]

2. YES, it's the TRUE third rail...kkkons lose if they touch it. Hope the DNC picks up on this QUICK!!

[orpupilofnature57]

3. He is them ,and what a treat .

[ibegurpard]

4. the thing is they just don't seem to believe

that these fuckers are that extreme until it hits them right upside the head like this. I hope he stays in for the long haul. He won't though...even though he says he is when even the teabillies are running from you you've got problems.

[Hydra]

6. It's because of this "One America" meme

Too many people I want to respect have spouted it- that we're all the same and we need to find common ground.

This is the ground they are standing on, and that they want us standing on.

Hell. No.

[orpupilofnature57]

7. Your absolutely right !!!

We've fought an inner-war that started before the Revolution started ,esoteric vs esoteric ,inclusive and exclusive and the charlatans that blur the lines ,Akin though delusional is less of a Misanthrope than their guru Kkkarl.

[SusanaMontana41]

19. Even if he drops out, the damage is done. That genie won't go back into the bottle. n/t

[Lasher]

5. This is another macaca moment for the GOPee.

I think they learned from that episode and that's why they are in such a hurry to dump Akin now.

[CabCurious]

9. GOP image management with most of the fear upon ties to Ryan

This story can blow into more awareness of Ryan's social views and the nastiness of the House.

[Carol Lynn]

32. Repubs will dump him

Some right wing think tank will suddenly find a job offer for him, and he will slink off in the dark of night.

[CabCurious]

8. He's running for office in montana... Id be shocked if he gave up

[ibegurpard]

10. He's running in Missouri

Here in Montana the current GOP congressman running for Senate here against our Democratic incumbent Senator John Tester is running away from Akin's comments as fast as he can.
A Personhood Amendment similar to what failed in Mississippi didn't even make it on to the ballot here. So, we don't seem to be quite to the level of Missouri yet...

[Panasonic]

26. Tester should begin slapping the Akin label against his opponent.

Guaranteed victory for every Democrats, and all 10 Republicans can easily lose their seat if the Akin strategy and tag was applied to them. The DNC has to begin blaring commercials linking R&R&A to every single Republican running. Guaranteed loss for every single Republicans out there.

Guaranteed.

[ibegurpard]

37. Montana politicians' responses so far

http://billingsgazette.com/news/state-and-regional/montana/swift-montana-reaction-to-candidate-s-rape-comment/article_d9739b5d-d678-51ea-a735-37f6e5d722b5.html

[BlueMTexpat]

31. Akin is NOT a Montanan. Thank. God.

Yes, my birth state has some raving Neanderthals - but even they are running away from this guy's comments as fast as they can.

[DonRedwood]

11. Your headline really grossed me out....

and I wanted to say "that's what she said"....but....

I am glad to hear even the Rs are finally grossed out by the tea party crud!

(and if my comment is offensive to you I will be happy to edit it down to just the last sentence-let me know :0)

[ibegurpard]

12. I just "got" your post

and I don't blame you for being grossed out

[ProfessionalLeftist]

13. Yep. Big. Turd. n/t

[Politicalboi]

14. Does she know that Ryan is Toad's buddy?

He feels the same way, but doesn't say it at public events. So today, Rmoney condemned what Akin said. But his running mate is just like Akin.

[ibegurpard]

15. all the more reason to hope he stays in

and why the GOP is so frantic to have him gone.

[JoePhilly]

16. Make sure she knows that Atkin and Ryan pushed a House bill that described "forcible rape",

Because apparently, not all rape is "forced", and therefore ok.

[ibegurpard]

17. indeed

you can be sure I will point that out

[blkmusclmachine]

18. GOP, look into the mirror:

[Warpy]

20. They're trying to

but you know he's not going to go without a huge payoff.

[jbp23]

21. History repeating Itself

In 1991 TX Oil millionaire Clayton Williams was expected to win the TX Governorship against Ann Richards, he was up in the polls and was a sure thing until he opened his big mouth. His comment was about rape, he said, "Rape is like when it rains, there is nothing you can do about it so you should just sit back and enjoy it". This comment cost him the election and ended his political career while Ann Richards became a Democratic Star.

[ibegurpard]

25. let us hope so

and let us hope it has repercussions beyond Missouri. The Republican Party needs to have this asswipe hung around their necks.

[calimary]

33. Welcome to DU!

[customerserviceguy]

22. Let us hope

They don't get rid of him, Claire McCaskill deserves another term in the Senate.

It was the ugly side of fundamentalism today, the part they usually just keep in private to themselves. I'm glad it saw the naked light of day.

[bucolic_frolic]

23. Missouri is the Show Me state

Mr. Akin?

[Panasonic]

24. Good. That should be the disgust of every single voting Republicans out there.

EVERY SINGLE ONE. Akin will remain in the race, and will spread his toxic waste downticket EVERYWHERE.

[badgolfer]

27. Rape

I wonder what these supporters of Akin would think/legislate if it was their daughter that was raped and pregnant? Would the rape be illegitimate or legitimate?

I have a feeling they would have a totally different opinion.

[Ruby the Liberal]

28. Actually, for this very reason, I hope they keep him.

Let OFA tie this neanderthal to Romney along with Congress' 10% approval rating for obstruction and Ryan's budget. The more the merrier.

[ibegurpard]

30. completely agreed

we shall see how this plays out. I'd be very eager to make a case against each and every Republican that's voted in lockstep with this slime.

[beyurslf]

29. I wish the conversation would be that what he said is simply what most R's believe.

It is in their platform. he should stay in the race and stick to his disgusting "values"

[Honeycombe8]

34. You know that any time Romney takes a stand on anything, it must be a done deal.

He's a goner.

[B Calm]

35. and Ryan pals around with Akin. .

[freshwest]

36. Be sure to tell them how Ryan thinks the same way.

And if they can stand it, Obama has been called the first feminist elected to the White House as he immediately signed a lot of pro-women's rights orders on entering office and has defended them all along. From Rush and Akin and it the ACA and Medicare and Medicaid. Toss in that the loves his two daughters, wife, mother and grandmother who raised him when his mom died from cancer. If that's not too much.

[proud2BlibKansan]

38. They interviewed a republican rape victim on our local news in KC

She said she would vote for McCaskill if Akin doesn't drop out.

[Bort336]

39. Wake up out there - We know what

he is - HE IS A FUCKING VAGINAL VAMPIRE but there are millions more out there hiding in the county, state, and local legislatures that are as extreme and deceitful as akin.

We have been being labeled as liberals, socialists, communists, and worse by these assholes for years - It is now time to bring every VagVamp "into the light" - let their friends, neighbors, co-workers know what despicable soulless excuses for human beings that they truly are.
