A wasted amount of funds.
Bev, Mo....
So very true....The TeaPeople evidently have more money than they know what to do with. Fools!
chilled
These people are supporting a person who indirectly stated that raped women who became preganant were not really raped; since their bodies didn't automatically prevent the pregnancy, those women must have really wanted the rape.
It amazes me how anyone can support this fool.
I think it's great Akin is staying in the race. Of course, I'm cheering for him to lose. He illustrates how the Republican Party maintains a two track strategy for winning the Presidential election. It is becoming more obvious when the religious wing of the republicans duke it out with the moneymaking wing of the party over his comments which many in the religious wing want to believe is true.
Feed their ignorant masses gobbledygook like Obama was born in Kenya and women won't get pregnant when they're raped, so we don't need a rape exception to our abortion ban.
Then feed the media a different set of gobbledygook like I haven't seen his birth certificate. Oh, we now have a rape exception (but not in their platform).
The language in that entire proposal should frighten any woman and for that matter any man who respects women, bayllie.
It's strange that the other part of that proposal is not talked about. It includes outlawing IVF. The procedure that produced some of Willards grandchildren!
Ryan/Akin have no respect for women.....in their twisted view women are not equal to men, women cannot make their own decisions, women should not be allowed to make decisions, especially concerning reproductive rights!
Privacy/freedom of choice is settled law.....Roe v Wade!
Many who donated to him used to be children of forced rape.
Further proof that there is one born every minute.
All donations to republicans are a waste of funds. But it's true "a fool and his money are soon parted".
Reality is Akins is going to win election because modern day Republicans agree 100% with Akins.
This isn't the 1980's or early 1990's when Republicans put Americans first.
Remember, Republicans in 2009 said their #1 priority was not to help Americans, but to win back the White House at all costs.
Shows exactly what a lot of Republican voters believe... scary stuff.
So there will be no Democrats or Independants voting in Missouri in November?
Many Republicans I know are ashamed of what their party has become. Since the extreme right wing nut job Facist wannabes have taken over their party, whether called T partiers or whatever, unless they move toward the center their party will lose more members and once people get a taste of their Fascist politics well vote anyone but them.
Republicans are in the center. The dems have shifted way left.
To go to the middle with a dem is to sell your soul. Republicans will not do that. You need to come from the dark side and go to the light. Not one republican I have talked to thinks their party has been hijacked. Just leftist talking points.
Gooooooo Akin! The more money, the more ads, the more visible, the more useful an idiot he is.
he has a great chance at winning. His opponent is a big backer of Obama and that is her weakness. Akin said something dumb. She backs something dumber. What is worse?
Conservatives and Libertarians on this thread: The election of Romney is under control. Do not be distracted by the left. Obama one and done just like Carter yet worse. The important issue is the Senate! We must repeal Obamacare before 2014 when it fully kicks in. It will become an entitlement bigger than Medicare or SS.
THe Courts bent over backwards to allow it to stand so it must be repealed by Congress! Concentrate on the Senate Races; Ryan and Romney are the common sense choice-trust the electorate
"One and done", just like George H.W. Bush?
Republicans better support this guy. He is it! Made one slip-up per press-All rape is bad period. Illegitimate rape exists but does not need to be defined with vulture media around. He can beat McCaskill and we need him to reverse Obamacare!
So the female body can't get pregnant against her will? He didn't apologize for that little gem, just the word "illegitimate". Sorry you didn't listen to his whole statement and his whole apology. Yes, he slipped up by showing how backwards his thinking is.
You HAVE to love the GOP, say something insane and they send you cash.
