Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo.) reminds Republicans why they were hoping he would drop out of the U.S. Senate race against incumbent Claire McCaskill (D).
“I think we have a very clear path to victory, and, apparently, Claire McCaskill thinks we do, too, because she was very aggressive at the debate, which was quite different than it was when she ran against Jim Talent,” Akin told the Kansas City Star on Thursday.
“She had a confidence and was much more ladylike [in 2006], but in the debate on Friday she came out swinging, and I think that’s because she feels threatened.”

Scandalous! /sarc
Oh.... you mean like Claire McCaskill is a lying communist who was picked by Obama to ram through the (not) FREE (lack of) HealthCare plan?
The plan where prices are jacked SKY HIGH and the elderly are denied treatment because it takes money away from the 'kitty' which will be used to provide campaign money to DEM politicians ?
So? She’s always been like that.
What did Akin say that HELPS HIM WIN ?
Whatever you do, Trixi, don’t ever think for yourself. Always look at who the cool people are making fun of, and act like them. You can’t go wrong.
Missing the point. It’s not the word.
You’re using the logic that all those Dem women trumped up that using the word vagina got them shut down in the state legislature. It wasn’t the word, it was how it was used and speaking out of turn. But they made a lot of hay about “the word” oooooo, she said the word ... and all that.
Well, Aiken is a moron despite his position on the issues.
The best case scenario is he wins because we need the seat and then Roney appoints him ambassador to Assyria.
Whatever. I don’t. Never have. Never will.
Call em as I see em (and way before everyone else usually).
Perhaps you misunderstood his comment.
If his opponent was MALE and he said his opponent wasn't acting very GENTLEMANLY... what would you say then?
Whatever. I don’t. Never have. Never will.

I also said he still has time to pull it out which shows I'm not the "liberal" whatever you want to call me as though you're in kindergarten.
We all say things that don’t “need” to be said. That’s what makes us free human beings. Not a crime, not immoral, nothing wrong with it.
Maybe you’re in Missouri, I’m not, but I doubt “ladylike” is an insult there.
Can we say she’s “shrill”?
SO.... what should Akin have done? Descend to the level of the DEMS and called McCaskill a lying whore ?
Remember when Arlen Specter told Michele Bachmann to act like a lady on the radio.
Good times.
If you stick to politics than that’s fine.
Look, I think McCaskill is a conniving, condescending b*tch (remember her from the 2010 townhalls? she was condescending and nasty as hell to her own constituents) ... but if I were running against her, especially if I were a man, I would not call her that.
Why?
Because I wouldn’t want to lose!

Yep. And were is ol’ Arlen nowdays?
