Showing Original Post only (View all)LOL!! - TODD AKIN Tells the GOP to KISS The Missouri SENATE SEAT GOODBYE [View all]

LOL!...Payback is such a BIACH!!
In a brief statement, Todd Akin essentially told the Republican Party to forget about defeating Claire McCaskill because he is going to be in the race until November. Rep. Akin made it clear to the entire Republican Party that he isnt going anywhere. He said negotations may be happening, but they have nothing to do with him. Akin also reminded Republicans that the voters chose him, and he lobbed a few attacks in Claire McCaskills direction.
Akin claimed that threats have been made against him, and that the FBI is investigating. What he didnt say was who made those threats. We are supposed to assume that it was the left, but it wouldnt be much of a surprise if his fellow Republicans were threatening him in order to get him out of the race.
Todd Akin may be delivering a death blow to the Republican hopes of retaking the Senate, and he could care less, which makes him the perfect poster child for the modern GOP. The Republican Party has been increasingly preaching selfishness and self interest to the nation for years, so why are they surprised when one of their own isnt swayed by their take one for the team and get out of the race arguments?

Hopefully, by that time, Mittens and The Boy will have become a radioactive plague.

That would be wonderful, but the Christian Fundamentalists in MO can have a lot of voters behind

If so, it will be money that would have been used to back another one of their worthless candidates.
