The "plenty" of women for Todd.
Oh lord:
Rep. Todd Akin's campaign is praying for a miracle.
Outspent by Sen. Claire McCaskill and abandoned by most of the Republican Party, the Akin campaign is unambiguously seeking to rally the conservative, religious right during the final weeks before the election. [...]
"Lord, he is on assignment directly for you," Pastor Sharon Allen said of Akin during her benediction at the fundraiser, held in a half-full Marriott ballroom Saturday evening in downtown Kansas City.
The dinner felt closer to a church service than a fundraiser for a U.S. Senate candidate.
Say this for Todd Akin's supporters: They really do believe their own bullshit. Like this one:
"Some rapes are very legitimate. Some are not," said Steven Athans, of Columbia, Mo. "He was just clarifying whether or not it was truly a rape. It was blown way out of propotion."
And of course there are the "women for Akin" who
stand by him because God and fetuses and also, they "don't buy into science."
And let's not forget Akin's own wife, who believes Akin's getting raped by the Republican Party like a colonial daughter, because they won't stand by him and his magic lady parts "science" and that "plenty of women are for Todd."
All this because Akin said one teeny tiny little thing that just happened to expose and embarrass his entire party for a bunch of anti-science, anti-woman whackadoodle nutjobs. (As if we didn't already know this about them, but still. Apparently, Republicans were surprised to learn this about themselves.)
No matter. Abandoned by his own party, Akin is forging ahead with his mission because that's what God wants. God wants him in the Senate, where he can continue to spread his crazy "science" and to pursue legislation to take women's right away from them. God wants him to stick it to the Republican Party but good, by showing he can win election without its support.
God just doesn't want him to be able to hold a successful fundraiser:
In all, roughly 360 people filled 37 tables; two tables were empty. "We wanted fifty tables," one Akin aide said, "but it became clear that wasn't going to happen."
Too bad God forgot, in his mission to send Akin to the Senate, to give Akin some supporters.
Here's a worthwhile mission: Let's kick the anti-woman, anti-science Republicans out of power and send "plenty" of women to Washington to end the war waged by Akin and his buddies.
