Stay Todd



When I first heard Rep. Todd Akin's idiotic remarks about rape, I didn't think too much of it because after all the Republican party, especially in recent years, has routinely uttered outrageously stupid things about a variety of subjects. That Akin made his observations in the midst of the 2012 presidential campaign apparently compelled the Republican party establishment to call upon the congressman to abandon his campaign for the U.S. Senate seat in Missouri for fear of further alienating women. But frankly I hope Aiken resists all efforts to drive him from the race and stay the course through November, when hopefully he and his party go down to a crushing defeat.
