doesn't get this either. The guy must be as dumb as a bag of rocks. What part of more than half the votes cast will be by women is so hard to understand? Or that after after his "real rape" comments he's not in a position where displaying contempt for women will work for him?

So what? He's right. - me5

Remember Todd Akin?...smSep 26, 2012
The guy that brought up the question of "legitimate rape" and noted that a woman has "ways to prevent" pregnancy in a rape? You know...the guy that republicans lined up to denounce...the one they told to get out of the race...the one who was sooooo offensive they couldn't stand to have him as a representative of the republican party. Well, now that it is official that Akin is going to stay in the race and now cannot be replaced, look who's lining up to endorse him... Recent headline ...

GOP Senate Candidate Todd Akin Thinks Victims Of "legitimate" RapeAug 19, 2012
....I suppose as opposed to women who are raped "illegitimately," whose bodies cannot prevent conception.  He explained his impressive knowledge of human reproduction by saying, “the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.”  Like his democratic challenger, incumbent Senator Claire McCaskill D-MO, I am truly stunned at this amazing turn of events.  This guy actually thinks we should pay him to legislate our laws.  It will be interesting to ...

Akin's RemarksAug 21, 2012
Pregnancy will not result unless a woman is raped, so if she gets pregnant, she wasn't really raped, she enjoyed it, the juices and secretions were flowing and welcomed the sperm.How insulting.  How disrespectful.This is what is borne out of selling your political soul to the right wing.  Poor Mr. Akin probably thought he'd get kudos from his party radicals riding on the snowball of their anti-female rhetoric.  After all, Paul Ryan co-signed his "forcible rape" ...

Colorado Democrat: Women Don’t Need Guns If They ‘Feel Like They’re Going To Be Raped’ Chill, women, says Colorado Democrat Rep. Joe Salazar. While arguing for the disarmament of college students, Salazar says that even if women feel like they’re going to be raped, they may not, so who needs a firearm for protection? From Revealing Politics: Said Salazar: “It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t ...

Akin Gets Law And OrderedMar 27, 2013
He must be so proud! Former Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin may have drifted into national obscurity following his loss in Missouri's 2012 Senate race, but his contentious comments about rape -- which helped sink his political bid - will live on in syndication: Tonight's episode of NBC's "Law & Order: SVU" borrows elements of the Akin controversy for a plotline of its own.   The episode, entitled "Legitimate Rape," tells the story of "a high-profile rape victim" ...

was an isolated event: As for the substance of what Akin told a local TV reporter, we’ve heard this before.There was state Rep.

This one is just for fun.

Wade decision. In supporting his claim about trauma and ovulation, Mecklenburg cited experiments conducted in Nazi death camps. The Nazis tested this hypothesis "by selecting women who were about to ovulate ...

If you think African Americans are not targeted or racially profiled, listen to this guy, a black GOP senator who was stopped 7 times by cops last year. I have linked it, but also here is his statement yesterday. It is powerful because it is his personal experience.   Scott’s address on Wednesday came after four other senators urged their colleagues to take a vote on criminal justice reform ― something many lawmakers say is badly needed. “There is a deep divide between ...

As for why Murkowski is considering a change in position, she pointed to her two young sons, who she says give her puzzled looks when she asks them for ...

Massachusetts Could Elect Senator Who Supports WaterboardingJan 19, 2010
By John ByrneMonday, January 18th, 2010 -- 9:16 am The Republican state senator vying to fill the Senate seat recently vacated by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) says he doesn't believe waterboarding -- where a suspect is effectively temporarily drowned -- is torture. State senator Scott Brown's candidacy has taken Massachusetts by storm and political analysts by surprise. Until recently, Democratic state attorney Martha Coakley was considered a shoe-in for the position. But Massach ...
