You a first-time voter? I only ask since you're a junior and I presume young. Good choice by the way. =)
So you think you can rape?

It's a good example of rape culture in America. He's trying to distinguish between the rapist who jumps out of the bushes to attack a victim and the rapist who takes his victim on a date and waits until she's passed out. He's creating a distinction between rape that requires physical violence and rape where the victim knows the rapist. By his logic, a husband can never rape his wife, a woman can't be raped when she is too drunk to consent, and a rape can not occur if the woman agreed to be intimate with the rapist but at some point decided she wanted to stop. In the latter circumstances, the rape is "illegitimate" and it is actually the victim's fault - or so the repugnant line of thinking goes.
That's like saying you ran a red light, but it's all okay because you just misdrove.

Seriously. Don't go mistaking this popularly chosen representative of the right as representative of the right! We wouldn't want to be unfair! Fucking A.
He retired from the comment retroactively.
Our country is so fucked up, that shit is horrible man. I'm sorry.
It was not meant to be taken as a factual statement.
Everyone should vote this guy in.
Seriously.
Just think about the fallout from the Republicans scrambling to rationalize yet another War on Women from the GOP.
It'd be another crack in the rapidly-splintering party.
Which is exactly what American politics needs, a new third option.

One hell of a schism coming, methinks. Present-day Social conservatives versus the "We don't want to be associated with vampires" conservatives of tomorrow.

Is this a nominee-nominee, or just a nominee?

Oh fuck. I just paid closer attention to this and realized it was Todd Akin that said this.
He was/is the representative from my district (never voted for him though.)
The scary thing is, this senate race may actually be pretty close, as Akin has had the district on lockdown for years, though appealing to the broader audience of the entire state will be more difficult.

He's been a Republican congressman since 2001 and he's now the Republican nominee for senate against the Democratic incumbent.
This isn't the first mind-numbingly stupid thing he's said, by the way. He wants to get rid of the morning after pill as well, and he's tried to redefine rape with some congressman named Paul Ryan. Google "forcible rape," but be sure to have some hard liquor handy.
I just don't understand politics anymore. How the fuck has this not already ended his campaign? I mean, if it somehow doesn't, what exactly would he have to say to bring his campaign to a screeching halt? How has such toxic rhetoric become the norm for a political party who's values reflect a very significant portion of the electorate?
This thread leaves me with far too many questions.

I can't tell if this is cleverly done or if you don't follow politics at all. well done.
Missouri is on a heck of a run lately. We may need to update G-A-F. G hasn't been producing for a long time.
Not only is he a nominee; He's considered the front runner.

I can't see how this will not happen.
A New Republican party/GOP split. Yey for the tea baggers. What would their colour be? I vote Purple.
It would be fitting, considering the Republican Party started as a splinter of the Democratic Party. Their color would probably stay red though, and the other splinter would be ID'd with purple.
I always find the map of states by the makeup up their State Senate interesting.
then you put it next to the pic of who they've elected to the federal US Senate:
In that guy's opinion, yeah
and as such she shouldn't be allowed the abortion because she willingly opened her legs or something equally vile and Republican
He's leading the polls due to almost four years of "the democrats are godless, socialist, baby aborting assholes that want to ruin Amuurrriica" rhetoric.
It's why he won the primary, in any case.
Well, more seriously he's leading the polls because he just won a 3-way race to see who could go up against McCaskill and is riding that wave of momentum.

What do the black, purple and blue with green stripes represent?
I'm going to guess this was some combination of Ann Coulter and Michele Malkin.

The one where you get caught, or the police finds the body.
All cynicism aside this is absolutely despicable.
Nah, he's leading in the polls cause Missouri is hurting right now. Unemployment is still sky high and most people blame it on Obama and the Democrats. The influence of STL and to a lesser extent Kansas City have gone down as people have slowly fled the Saint Louis metro area, leaving the rural, Republican base to be a bigger portion of the population.

God, even if the Republicans have some alright philosophical ideas, them bringing them into the real world basically is terrible for anyone but the 1%. I can't even support anything out of these people anymore.

These last 2 years have been the first time in 4 decades the Minnesota legislature was controlled completely by the republicans.
I'm not a scientist, but I think the purple ones are where there is a mix of dems and repubs. Green stripes are probably independents.

Think black is a unicameral legislature. Where they have one body of congress and not house/senate.
And Minnesota should flip back to blue in the state house/senate.
Yeah, Vermont has Bernie Sanders and Conn. has Joe Lieberman as Independents.

I wasn't aware he was on the House Committee on Science.
Yeah, Nebraska has a unicameral and (officially) non-partisan legislature
I wasn't either. Oh God.

It might also blow your mind to know Michele Bachmann is on the foreign intelligence committee. Boehner basically awarded them committee memberships based on how much they groveled at his feet in 2010.
Why avoid it? This upstanding American patriot explained himself already. He misspoke. Any effort to say otherwise is the librul media elite trying to drag his name through the mud.

bitch I'm taking calls.
It's true we have some terrible neo-con and hick citizens in this state and I mostly blame our proximity with Kansas. However...this guy is NOT and will NOT be representative of Missouri. I will make sure of that.
Word. Is the election for representatives in November as well? I'm trying to get as many people around me who are on the fence about voting to make sure they do just to keep this guy out of power.
