What do the Gulf of Mexico and these elections have in common?....They're both rigged!

Why do we never see the Mayor's gay, cross dressing son?

Why does the LGBT community support a bigot who renounces who his son is?

7:55 might be a closet gay, but he sure turned a phrase. "Taliban Todd" was pretty good, ya have to admit!!!

I"ve noticed that lots of republicans are intending to vote for the whole slate. So he'll get a respectable set of numbers.

But I expect lots of people will vote against Aikin because he's such an ass.

Freedom extorting bucks from idiots like Emanuel Cleaver doesn't maker them power brokers. It makes them extortionists, same as always, who will not deliver on any of their promises. But Terry Riley, Charles Hazley and the rest of the grifters will get their pockets lined and it will be the same ole same ole.

Hey Claire- See You Next Tuesday!! Google that phrase, you clever little democratic monkeys.

Calling McCaskill a cunt is an accomplishment. Her opponent believes a vagina has the ability to protect from rape, which would be evolution, a theory Akin denies. Hes a One Delta Ten Tango.

Say it ain't so Freedom Inc. spelled the ONLY black Presidents name wrong. Was it in a mailer

Akin rallies were pretty much unattended. The people who were there were from rural MO (mennonites and other religious sects), Kansas and suburban MO.

Nobody in KC supports Akin.
