(1) She didn't DISAGREE with anything he said, and (2) She was - and still is - openly supporting one Sarah Steelman for that Senate seat, and included a "told ya so" in the interview. I wish I could be as confident as Sarah and the rest of you that he's not going to win that seat. The most recent polls still have him in the lead.

Why won't this woman just go away? <<I wish I could be as confident as Sarah and the rest of you that he's not going to win that seat.>> Me too. Seems to me that more and more of these extremist, crazy types keep getting elected every year.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 Then those 16 Democrats should be ashamed of themselves. What's the excuse for the 235 Republicans who voted for it? Seriously, Donny. False equivalency is always dicey, but when the numbers are 235 to 16 the "false" part of "false equivalency" is pretty obvious, no?

Just imagine what our bodies could do to weasely, little know nothing, ignorant blow hards like Todd Akin.
