St.Louis Post-Dispatch ENDORSES McCaskill Over Akin (Yowza! TKO!)
<snip>
What makes this race so depressing is that voters seeking an open-minded senator who will allow his or her beliefs to be guided by logic, common sense and intellectual honesty really have only one choice. That is Claire McCaskill. The Republicans have abdicated.
Ms. McCaskill would be the better choice even if Mr. Akin had worked in a rape crisis center. Even before his revelatory slip of the tongue on Aug. 19 about “legitimate rape” disclosed his bizarre beliefs about reproductive biology, the gulf between these two candidates was so vast as to suggest they come from different planets. On Planet Claire, beliefs are tempered by facts. On Planet Todd, beliefs rule.
On Planet Todd, women who are raped have a natural defense against pregnancy. Man-made global warming is “highly suspect.” Every tax takes away a measure of freedom; presumably even the taxes that pay the soldiers who protect our freedoms.
On Planet Todd, the Pilgrims came to America to escape socialism, never mind “the general good of the colony” clause in the Mayflower Compact. Federal support for scientific research should be limited to “pure research,” such as why stars don't cast more light than they do. The school-lunch program fosters a culture of dependency.
