Todd Akin wants to run again for office...

Please proceed, Todd.

Todd Akin Might Run For Office Again To 'Stand Up To Evil'

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Monday, 8/4/2014 1:15 pm

In the latest stop in his self-pitying “comeback” tour, former Republican congressman Todd Akin said that another run for office wasn’t off the table.

Speaking last week with Joseph Farah of WorldNetDaily, which is publishing his new book, Akin once again framed the controversy over his “legitimate rape” remarks as part of a battle between spiritual good and evil, insisting that God was on his side.

He told Farah that he hasn’t dismissed the idea of running for office again because he wants to “tell the truth” and “stand up to evil.”

Odd, that's the same thing the Islamic Jihad say when they slaughter innocents.

to make another ( Todd Akin I am not a duck! ) T-shirt. For those not in the know,female ducks actually can shut down that whole thing down. I should've kept the first one. But who knew he would be stupid enough to run again!

Better to suck on the gubmint teat. And those nice bennies.

Right now nobody is paying him to be stupid. He has a point.
