2012 Tool of Year Nominee: Rep. Todd Akin (R-Mo)

[Maverick]

Ya I have to agree, he is a moron...some people are put into office, some people earn an office, some people just need to go away...I am a republican and can honestly say I wish that half of my party would vanish off the screen and people who are working for us would get into office...but its not that kind of world yet..until people get pissed off with the high tax's we as small business owners have to pay, high gas prices and until the government realize that WE DO NOT NEED YOU TO DO ANYTHING BUT PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT WE CANNOT (ROADS, BRIDGES, PROTECTION(ARMY, NAVY, MARINES ETC)...which is what your job IS..than we are doomed with the viral infection of the "give it to me" death march to doom that will occur in the next decade when our country is turned into Greece, Spain and more. China is now ahead of us in. 1. The Space Game 2. Natural Resources, 3. MONEY 4. Army 5. Manufacturing 6. Population when just under 50 years ago they couldn't even feed their citizens..the US has backed down from whats going on right now in the Philippines because our navy is half the size it was a decade ago and china has basically declared war with us, but no one is saying anything in the news media.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000...914661256.html have you heard anyone from fox news or CNN(cough) mention this...not yet..but just wait..we need to get out of the Mideast, people need to get off welfare and generation X,Y,Z need to be kicked in the ***....if Iran wants to F with us, nuke them, we did in with Japan but the US and its people had balls back than, the military wasn't nurtured by political correction and going back to my opening statement, the elected officials worked for us, the people and not their foreign investment bankers and companies...which they do now. I challenge anyone to find one elected politician who is in office now that has under a million dollars less net worth than they went in with..its not about serving our country its about serving the pocket books for everyone in office.. history will repeat itself...but we might be on the short end of the stick this time....

You know what's sort of funny?
This guy is spending a ton of resources to get the smoke to settle on this issue, but no matter how it turns out, come the "Year In Review" News Programs, the scab is going to get ripped off again in late December. -Z-

But he will be a private citizen again. Works for me.

The real scary part is, that his eventual point was to say that abortions should be illegal, NO MATTER WHAT THE REASON.
And THAT is the goal of his party. (made up mostly of MEN)

[Mark Evans]

The said part Bill is that he still gets paid, the best medical, pension and speaking engagements that will pay even more now that he has a name. Epic fail again with our government.

Congress has but one job to do each year ..... pass a balanced budget. If they can't get that one job done, the whole group should be "FIRED!" Isn't that what would happen to one of us? The senate has to stop watering down bills with hidden riders. We got to get rid of earmarks and we have to make PAC money totally illegal with accountability and prosecution. As it stands right now, we've got the best politicians that money can buy!
