Republican Rape Madmen Lose Elections

The following GOP candidates, who expressed insensitive, bizarre and generally horrific views about rape and/or abortion during their campaigns, thankfully lost their elections. We can all breathe a sigh of relief:  



Loser Republican  Madmen:

 Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin (R-MO)
 Tom "No Abortions for Rape Victims!" Smith (R-PA)
 Roger "Some Girls Rape Easy" Rivard (R-WI)
 Joe "Let Pregnant Women Die!" Walsh (R-ILL)
 John "No Abortions for the Rape Thing" Koster (R-WA)
 Richard "Reproducing Rapists Is GOD's WILL" Mourdock (R-IN)
