Akin: Claire McCaskill isn't ladylike enough and she's aggressive

[cali]

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.”

Akin’s campaign declined to comment on the candidate’s characterization of his opponent. In that debate last week, McCaskill called Akin “extreme” and “far out on the fringe.”

Republicans spent weeks pressuring Akin to end his Senate bid after his comments on abortion and “legitimate rape.” But Akin persevered past the Sept. 25 deadline for exiting the campaign, and the establishment organizations that pledged to boycott the Missouri race have started to come around.

4. There's a little "x" after the thread title, click it, it disappears from view.

You can hide all the threads you don't want to see, or, you know, just don't read them.

5. I know it's irritating, but yes, I scanned the page and didn't see it

did I carefully review every OP? No. Now go take your blood pressure meds and calm down, dear. It's really not worth getting in a snit about.

2. I guess he didn't like Condi as Secretary of State

either? Can't have an unladylike, aggressive, let alone FEMALE at all, in that position.

3. Someone should ask him what he thinks about Margaret Thatcher and Golda Meir

and then see if his head explodes.

11. I know..

Akin does bring out not very lady like thoughts.

If he were in the animal kingdom..I'm thinking a mixture of viper, vampire bat, and rabid elephant. Of course, apologies to the animals.

That was cathartic!

8. she should have said..

"I am lady enough to beat the shit out of an old gasbag like you!"

Its hard to believe people like this exist in this country, never mind get elected..
If they re-elect him, I will lose faith in all of Missouri..

9. Maybe Akins can get a bra and panties from Victoria's Secret and see if he can get raped.

I'm sure he won't get pregnant if it's a "legitimate" rape.
