Politico reports this evening that donations to the campaign for Claire McCaskil have picked up since the highly publicized comment of Todd Akin. The number of donations today is reported to be 10 times the normal amount. The post earlier today seems to have been echoed across the country.

Every last male republican sickens me to death! how any woman in her right mind could vote GOP is just beyond me. They go along with their mail leaders’ defense against protecting women from abuse too! What kind of women are these on the right? What uncivilized people they are!

Green Tiger,
When the issue was just abortion, I disagreed with them, but understood how and why they disagreed with those of us who are more liberal. However how ANY woman could think Akin’s comments are appropriate would indicate that they are just uneducated!

Then there must be a lot of uneducted people in Missouri, Malia. I saw a poll this morning that had Akin tied with McCaskil. I’m not sure I’d call them uneducated so much as diseducated. Surely they have not been so vacuous their entire lives. They’ve allowed common sense to be crowed out with nonsense. That’s not a blanket I’d use to cover all of Missouri, but apparently there are many who keep warm by the fires of disinformation.

rayadams,
I think McCaskill will get enough donations from people around the country that she will be able to educate the people of Missouri, and the election will be hers.

Teabagger Todd Akin is not giving up…..KKKarl has threatened to take his money out of the state. I for one am tired of seeing KKKarl’s ads dishing Claire. The GOP are running scared…..scratch them and they bleed. Please please let this discussion continue.
I want to see why men seem to run free with the 4 F’s…..Find them, feel them, F uck them then Forget them. I am so damn mad that women get the blame in just too many ways to talk about. Why don’t the Bible pounders go after the men who are not held responsible for their own self control.
This is another instance of ones backyard needing cleaning….Go Claire!

Grrrr !
Am I having a nightmare ??? Did this man really say these things ???
This is even worse than Rush’s “slut” rampage !
I’d like to see a couple thousand angry Missouri women surrounding Akin’s campaign headquarters with picket signs reminding him that there’s something that can be done to the MALE body that’ll prevent women from being raped !
Maybe he’d ENJOY being the oldest member of the Vienna Boys Choir ???

Grrr!

You need to get a confirmation from Senator Lisa Murkowski that her father, Governor Frank Murkowski REVERSED THE STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS in 2003…then the natives came forward to report the village church priests…then it went to the lower 48…then it went GLOBAL…ask her who prompted her father to make such a decision…post it…then watch Sarah PANIC again…like when she resigned…lol…glad I am retired…makes for easier surveillance of the Palins and their “crews” SMILE for Uncle Sam…

it is unfair to single out Akin when his comments have been part and parcel of the entire Republican Party’s opinion of women and their right to choose their own reproductive health. It was curious to watch Republicans abandon and condemn Akin over his remarks on legitimate rape and conception, especially when they have voted with him to eliminate women’s right to choose throughout the 112th Congress. ~ PoliticsUSA

This is what happens when we eliminate science from our curriculums in the U.S. We get DUMBER people running or wanting to run our country! God help us if we keep electing people like this to public office.
