…and you know what? I’m ok with that Todd.

Too easy. Like shooting a brain-dead fossil fish in a dry barrel.

rudesan · July 15, 2014, 5:44pm

Todd Akin is dead to me.

PFV’s.

Professional Fucking Victims.

Todd, please, please please keep talking. A lot. And ask your agent to get you on the Sunday shows too. And The View. And the Farm Report, and every local news station’s “Ask Bonzo”. Just make sure there’s an ® after your name in the chyron.

God, the conservatives are so craven these days that even McCarthy is being dug up and trotted out as some martyr.

The current lot are more Birchers than Republicans

An educated, feminist lesbian is the GOTP’s worst nightmare.

There was a time, not too long ago, when losing candidates withdrew from public view. The current crop seem to be more of the publicity whore type.

teenlaqueefa · July 15, 2014, 5:55pm

I use McCarthy as an example of someone who was assassinated by the media, so he had no credibility

Actually, he drank himself into an early grave. He had no credibility because he was a RWNJ just like you.

chelsea530 · July 15, 2014, 5:57pm

Keep digging, Todd. You’re doing just fine.

meri · July 15, 2014, 5:59pm

…and Pol Pot. Poor guy. Fucking media.

pluckyinky · July 15, 2014, 6:01pm

I’m 100% with you on that. I don’t understand those that want this guy to go away. Hell no! I want him to stay and keep talking. I want the full Ginsburg and every political talk show on TV. I even want him to go on the KY local access channel and talk to Ryan Alessi. Go on BET and Telemundo. Tell the world what you think, Todd. And don’t forget to tell them that your views are part of the party platform, that most Republicans in the House voted to redefine rape. Go tell it, Todd.

Excepting that running for office-- win or lose-- is like winning the lottery.
If you’ve got 50k ®ubes who will send you $20 several times a year?

You end up with perpetual candidates.

Comparing yourself to Joe McCarthy… thanks for the face-palm.

daveyjones64 · July 15, 2014, 6:10pm

And, I almost hate to admit it, but I do get a great deal of personal enjoyment out of watching this guy. You KNOW its coming, its just guessing exactly when!
