Congressman Todd Akin does not believe in the Separation of Church and State.Congressman Akin is one of a select group of Congressmen who puts the Fundamentalist Religious point of view of Evangelicals and Neo Cons above the Constitution. Todd is a card-carrying member of the American Taliban. He wants to impose a Biblical World View on America.
Look at who Todd's friends are:
Friend of the Family
Family Research Council: *
"True Blue Award" for pro-family policies in 108th and 107th Congresses
* This is the political "arm" spun off of Dr. James Dobson's "Focus on the Family Ministries."
National Right to Life Committee:
Akin has consistently received the highest ratings of US House Missourians.
Todd has 100% approval rating from the Christian coalition.
English First:
100% in 2001 (when the votes were considered most important).
Phyllis Schflay’s Eagle Forum gives Todd Akin has given him its highest ratings.
Todd Akin was Christian Statesmen of the Year in 2007. Certainly one of Akin's proudest endorsement must be from the Concerned Women of America, where conservative women promotes Biblical values and family traditions.
According to Todd Akin "Marriage is not about love, it's about a love that can bear children".
Republicans like Akin are attempting to amend the U.S. Constitution according to what they believe are the laws of their god. If they were to have their way we would all probably be living in a theocracy not a democracy. What we've seen so far is that Todd Akin shows complete disregard for the will of MO-2. He even opposes stemcell research.
We as Democrats, Progressives, Liberals, and all educated/thinking people can no longer tolerate the most extreme religious bigots holding positions of power in Washington DC and changing the course of world events and may I add weather, for the worst. We as a People, as a Country, as Representatives of the Human Race can no longer afford the boot licking ways of Todd Akin who allows Extremists in the White House to subvert the Constitution.
Electing progressive officials not afraid to act should be our simultaneous priority while electing Mr. Obama. The special election where Democrats Candidates picked up three surprise seats in the Deep South shows us how vulnerable the McSame Candidates of the Fundamentalists are. We need to support Candidates that are competitive in swing districts. It is even more important to get candidates who will, truly be progressive once they are seated in Congress. Byron DeLear is just such a Candidate.
Here are the links to Byron’s website http://www.DeLearForCongress.org. Please check him out, as he truly is one of us. Let me ask, what is the best way to get the support of the awesome Kos Community for a Talented Democratic Candidate?
Defeating the representatives’ of Jerry Falwell(s), Pat Robertson(s) and all apocalypse obsessed should be a goal for all Democrats.
