Senator Claire McCaskill's responses to Todd Akin

[Tx4obama]

Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill (D) said in a statement Sunday that comments made by her Republican opponent Rep. Todd Akin about "legitimate rape" were "beyond comprehension":

"It is beyond comprehension that someone can be so ignorant about the emotional and physical trauma brought on by rape," said McCaskill. "The ideas that Todd Akin has expressed about the serious crime of rape and the impact on its victims are offensive."

1. She'd better spread this message far and wide.

I hope he doesn't win her seat!

2. She needs to do more.

"My opponent sounds in need of medical attention himself."

Fight dirty!

5. She does need to go further.

If I were Claire McCaskill, I'd say something like this: I also heard that you can't go limp unless you're legitimately castrated.

6. A 'statement'

is nothing - she needs to take a huge swing at him.

9. yes, this "statement" is weak at best.

She should not waste her time being "stunned" because this has been a political belief and goal of the repubs for years.

Claire, I've heard you talk, I know you have it in you, give 'em hell!

3. Wow, what a nutjob the Missouri GOP senate candidate is!

[RC]

10. Oh, Missouri has more.

Check out Roy Blunt. Yeah, that Roy Blunt.

Sen. Blunt Wants Your Boss to Control Your Life
A boss who regarded overweight people and smokers with moral disgust could exclude coverage of obesity and tobacco screening from his employees' health plans.

A Scientologist employer could deny its employees depression screening because Scientologists believe psychiatry is morally objectionable.

A management team that thought HIV victims brought the disease upon themselves could excise HIV screening from its employees' insurance coverage.

A business could deny coverage for cervical cancer screening for unmarried employees, out of opposition to premarital sex.

Don't let his nugget of "wisdom" be shrugged off and forgotten after he issues his non apology apology!
