"Akin would get 27% of the vote if he clubbed a baby seal on The View"

[phantom power]

There’s your Republican Party, folks. Even with such awful favorability numbers, even with these massively ignorant comments, even with his long record of being a far-right lunatic…there’s a good chance that Missourians are going to vote the asshole into the Senate anyhow, effectively giving him a promotion.

What could Todd Akin do to lose support of Republicans in the state? Act like a human being with a functioning soul, I guess. Treat women, gays, and racial minorities with respect, that would lose him plenty of support among the troglodytes.

We’ll see how the day unfolds. My guess is Akin stays, and McCaskill remains in the toughest election battle of her career. All that motivates Republicans in 2012 is hatred of Democrats. Akin could eat a kitten on live TV and he’d still be within the margin of polling error because he doesn’t have (D) after his name.

He’d get 27% of the vote if he clubbed a baby seal on The View while Hank Williams Jr. and Dave Mustaine were playing “Beat The Devil’s Tattoo” and the seal was named Barack. Minimum.

1. It's worse than that.

Plenty of Repigs see nothnig wrong with clubbing baby seals.

There are people out there with such blighted minds that a Repuke could simultaneously be live on 120 cable channels sodomizing a goat and still get 25%.

Caught in the act of fucking a goose the average Repuke would say he was fluffing the duvet and many would believe him.

3. Exactly

There is absolutely nothing a Republican could do - sodomizing a goat while eating a baby - that they wouldn't get 25% of the vote. Despite these awful comments, at least a quarter of the population would vote for Akin just due to the R behind his name.

5. He would probably gain support

Now, It would be interesting if he were to set a Bible on fire on the view and then piss on it to put the fire out, all the while singing "Light my Fire" in The Doors jammies. Wonder if it would cause his poll numbers to rise anyway.

2. Had to laugh

I'm sorry I had to laugh at your desciption of Akin on the View!!

The subject of what Akin did is not Funny...but your witty description is...LOL

Thanks for tickling my funny bone!!

[Irishonly]

4. I didn't know if I should laugh, roll my eyes or cry

It makes me sad that a person like Akin could get 27 per cent of the vote.

6. IF

he only gets 27% of the vote I'd be ecstatic

and so would all Democrats

Let's hope he stays in the race

He who gaffes last gaffes best

Encore! Curtain Call!

Play it again, Sam.

How about one more gaffe

just for the Gipper?

7. That's fine. It's the other 73% we're interested in. nt

[Squinch]

8. But, tragically, a lot of them will vote for him too.

[sibelian]

11. hmmmmmm.

Why aren't they counted as part of the 27%, then? Sounds fishy to me...

[grantcart]

9. in Mssouri Sen McCaskill would get 67% if she did the same thing.

[superpatriotman]

10. Even a pregnant one

The BIG news is that McCaskill was losing to this douchebag idiot. How bad do things have to get before Democrats stand up and get serious?

[just1voice]

12. More like 49%, after he praised torture and promised to go to war with anyone

He'd get a standing ovation, then the TV propagandists would instantly set up 1-800 numbers so people could vote on "would you eat a kitten"?
