There You Go Again!

Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri) is under fire for comments.
Missouri U.S. Senate Race: Claire McCaskill (Democrat) (Incumbent) 49% - Todd Akin (Republican) 43%.

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) is rising in the polls. The Republicans are having second thoughts about abandoning Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri). What little chances they have to take control of the Senate is dimming. The Republicans are now going to put their chips on Akin.

After numerous attempts to take the Republican senate nominee off the ballot, a defiant Todd Akin told the Republicans that he's in it to win! Despite his defiance, the polls still show this as a toss up. It's leaning in the Democratic column.

Now the debate are on the way and Republicans are hoping that the controversy that Akin caused will die down! The controversy of last month has all but ruin the Republicans chances at taking the seat from an embattled McCaskill.

The Huffington Post reports that Republican Senate candidate Akin told reporters on Thursday that his opponent, Democratic incumbent McCaskill, debated like a "wildcat" and should have been much more "ladylike" in her 2006 campaign against Jim Talent, than she is in her campaign against Akin.

Akin suggested that McCaskill took an aggressive approach in her opening segment because she was worried about her reelection chances.

Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) is leading in polls.
McCaskill “had a confidence and was very much more sort of ladylike,” Akin told a Bloomberg reporter at a stop on his "Common Sense" bus tour in Jefferson City, Missouri. “In the debate we had Friday, she came out swinging, and I think that’s because she was threatened."


Akin, famous for his comment that victims of "legitimate rape" have physical mechanisms that stop them from becoming pregnant, has been angling for the support of women in Missouri by campaigning with anti-feminist icon Phyllis Schlafly. Schlafly has been an outspoken opponent of birth control access, equal pay for women, paid maternity leave and LGBT rights.

Akin's comment about McCaskill on Thursday is not the first time a male politician has accused a female colleague of not being ladylike. Congressman Allen West (R-Florida) told Congresswoman. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Florida/Democratic Party Leader ) in a 2011 email, "you are not a Lady" and "shall not be afforded due respect from me!"

And when Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota) interrupted Arlen Specter during a 2010 radio interview, he told her, "I'm going to treat you like a lady. Now act like one."

The Los Angeles Times report that top Republicans, including Mitt Romney, the party's presidential nominee, have said Akin should abandon his candidacy. The party is struggling to close the gender gap among female voters that favors President Obama.

But as the GOP's chances dim for picking up the seats needed to win majority control of the Senate, top conservative Republicans have announced they would back Akin with endorsements and financial support.

Congressman Steve King (R-Iowa), Senator Jim DeMint (R-South Carolina), Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum and Senator Jim Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) have thrown their support for Congressman Todd Akin in his bid for the U.S. Senate.

Dead Beat Congressman Knocks Sandra Fluke!

Rep. Joe Walsh in a file photo speaking in Washington, D.C. in May 2012.
Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) makes light of the Sandra Fluke controversy. He knocks her for making an appearance at the Democratic National Convention.

Congressman Joe Walsh (R-Illinois) never ceases to amaze me. He and a portion of the Republican House members are so far in the extreme, they don't even care who they attack. They're not concerned about the repercussions of their harsh words. They are welcomed with open arms with groups such as the John Birch Society, the National Rifle Association, The Heritage Foundation, Brotherhood Of A New Destiny (BOND), VDare and Family Research Council.

The Republicans are knee toed to radical extremists. They dog whistle the angry White male who is likely to cause a mass shooting in a town somewhere. And of course, Walsh, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Congressman Todd Akin (R-Missouri), Congressman Allen West (R-Florida), Congressman Louie Gohmert (R-Texas) and even vice presidential nominee Congressman Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin) pander to the most asinine human beings to ever exist in this country.

Women's rights activist Sandra Fluke
Sandra Fluke, the featured speaker at the Democratic National Convention is once again a target of conservative ire. The Tea Party endorsed candidate for reelection is trying to win a seat that's competitive.

Republicans are trying to eliminate the negativity.

Congresswoman Bachmann, Congressman West and of course Congressman Walsh are going to be written off based on how the redistricting kind of put them in heavier Democratic districts.

Fluke was attacked by Rush Limbaugh, Monica Crowley and Bill O'Reilly based on her advocacy for birth control being paid by private companies.

Fluke is engaged to her boyfriend and is a legal assistance attorney.

Walsh is a first term Congressman who won in 2010. Marred with controversy, Walsh has said themes that come off as extreme. He recently settled his legal woes with his former wife and mother of his children. He was ordered to pay $110,000 in child support. Also Citizens for Responsible and Ethics in Washington (CREW) calls Walsh one of the most corrupt politicians to be elected to office.

Walsh speaks at a gathering in Addison, Illinois. He knocks Fluke for being an "entittled" 31 years old college student. He told her to "get a job" and "stop taking from those hardworking Americans!"

This buffoon criticized Black voters for their overwhelming support for President Barack Obama over former governor and perennial candidate Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee.

Big Willie Style!

Bill Clinton makes the case for President Barack Obama.
For nearly 50 minutes, former president Bill Clinton lays the ground work for an awesome speech. President Barack Obama biggest ally comes to the defense of Republican attacks.

Many Republicans and even conservative agitator Sean Hannity had tried their best to make the case that Bill and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are angry at the president for the 2008 U.S. Democratic primary elections.

When you look at how much Bill loves to talk, many of the party's faithful were eating it up!

Bill Clinton puts the Democratic (Save Obama) National Convention in the spotlight. The economy is the major focus. President Barack Obama is embattled by the struggling economy.

Hopefully the president can win back his voters.

Others include women's right advocate Sandra Fluke and U.S. Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren.

A Declaration Of Women At DNC!

From private citizen to the face of the women's right movement, 31 year old Sandra Fluke became the target of Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly and Monica Crowley's attacks on her. In 2012, Rush Limbaugh called Fluke a "slut" and "prostitute" for testifying at congressional hearing.
U.S. senate candidate Elizabeth Warren is in a race against Republican senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts. The firebrand liberal activist is appearing at the Democratic National Convention.

The country's most hottest races for U.S. Senate is squarely on the states of Missouri, Ohio, Florida and Massachusetts, all considered toss ups according to most polls. Republicans need only four states to have control of the Senate.

Warren was drafted to be President Barack Obama's choice for the Consumer Protection Bureau that was established in 2010 after the Democratic controlled senate passed banking and financial regulation reform.

The president couldn't get her under the wing because of Republican obstruction and she resend her nomination. The president went forth with a recess appointment of former Ohio attorney general Richard Cordray.

The Republicans despise her more than Hillary Clinton as of right now! They've been pouring money into this race giving the embattled Senator Scott Brown a 3:1 advantage in fundraising.

Now appearing for the national spotlight, Warren along with another figure that's made political buzz are to appear with former president Bill Clinton at tonight's Save Obama National Convention.

Let's get something out the way. The Republicans are pouncing on the cancellation of the president's acceptance speech being held at the Carolina Panther's stadium. The event was supposed to be held at the Bank of America Stadium but due to bad weather, I guess the president's acceptance speech will be at the current location, the Time Warner Cable Arena. Many figured that the president couldn't squeeze the supporters so they've cut back, making some volunteers upset. Fox News reporters and conservative agitators were gleeful that the magic of 2008 isn't here in Charlotte, North Carolina.

I question the judgement of this decision as well as the pressured delegation's acceptance of "god" and acknowledgment of "Jerusalem being the national capital of Israel" is another political expediency to keep the remaining support among Jewish and Catholic voters. These blocks are shaky on the president. Although Jewish voters still have support for President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney but its waning.

Elizabeth Warren will make her speech before former president Bill Clinton.

Now let's continue.

The birth control issue has been a major issue among Catholic voters and the president. They don't support abortions and mandatory enforcement of giving women birth control. The president got into a heated controversy this year when a Georgetown law student and activist was roundly criticized by the conservative media for standing up for birth control. Her rise to fame came when conservative agitator Rush Limbaugh gave a not so subtle attack at her.
Elizabeth Warren, a consumer rights advocate is running for the U.S. Senate in Massachusetts. She became the voice of the common worker. Her inspirations created the Consumer Protection Bureau. She is in competitive race with U.S. Senator Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts).
Sandra Fluke was the Democratic Party's choice for a congressional testimony hearing being chaired by Republican congressman Darrell Issa of California. Congressman Issa and Congressman Elliah Cummings (D-Maryland) held hearing on the mandate of birth control at private and religious institutions.

Republicans brought forth a testimony with mostly men to discuss the topic of birth control. That cause an uproar. The Republicans wanted to do damage control. They allowed Fluke to testify in an off the record testimony. When she appeared at the congressional hearing. She had an opportunity to show her concerns about a friend who was struggling to pay her bill and was diagnosis with a disease. The story managed to win over the attention of Rush Limbaugh.

Limbaugh didn't know the name of the woman at the time of the testimony. He called her Susan Fluke at first. He then went on to criticizing her hairstyle, her demeanor, why she's a 30-year old still in college and labeled her a prostitute and then a slut. He spent a portion of his three hour show trashing the woman. The worst thing about it was the fact that he wanted to see a sex tape of her and the other woman she had shared a story about.

By the end of the day, the firestorm was brewed. Media Matters for America, a liberal activist group monitoring conservative figures in the media took the transcripts to the web and it lit up.

By Friday, over a 100 thousand people were outraged over the comments and demanded the conservative agitator was punished for his comments. The controversy generated a lukewarm apology from the conservative agitator. He wrote a message stating that he was sorry for making this comment and placed the blame on President Barack Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama and the liberal media for misquoting him.

By the start of the new week, Think Progress and Color of Change has put forth a national boycott on Rush Limbaugh. They went forth to target his sponsors. Carbonite, Avis, Walmart, General Motors, ProFlowers, Burger King, UPS, Lowe's, State Farm, Office Max, Toyota, Advance Auto Parts, Bullfrog Sunscreen, The Home Depot, Rite Aid and numerous others.

President Barack Obama called in Fluke later that week and express his gratitude and support of her. Rush Limbaugh reacts to it. He calls the president a coward for meddling in this affair and demands apologies for Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minnesota), Sarah Palin, Michelle Malkin and Ann Coulter after being targeted by controversial figures. Libertarian comedian Bill Maher is a primary focus of the conservative media's outrage because he mocked the conservative women.

Rush Limbaugh blames the media for his advertising drop and yes he demands retribution. He urged his conservative allies to make the case for him whenever a public figure or even a private figure attacks any conservative based on their race, gender or religion (primarily Christian Catholic or Jewish).

Rush Limbaugh continues to be the top dog in talk radio. Although Mike Huckabee is growing in popularity and Sean Hannity is looking forward to take Limbaugh's mantle someday, the unprecedented Big Voice of The Right will stay on four more years of Barack Obama if he's reelected.

Sandra Fluke gets her digs at Rush Limbaugh, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan at the Save Obama National Convention.
