"Team Rape Lost Big Last Night"

Posted by on Wed, Nov 7, 2012 at 11:17 AM

If you're wondering how a slew of Republican rape apologists did during election night (spoiler alert: It seems that women have ways of shutting that whole thing down), Jezebel has the comprehensive national roundup:

There were the obvious big losses — Todd "Legitimate Rape" Akin lost in Missouri and Richard "Rape Pregnancy is a Gift from God" Mourdock got his Tea Party ass handed to him in Indiana, but even the politicians who don't bat cleanup on Team Rape didn't do so great yesterday.

Once you're done laughing, be a dear, grab a shovel, and help these guys finish burying their careers.

Don't hold your breath for a rape exception to be added to the Republican platform.

The Teabaggers have screwed themselves with their screams of "default!". But don't expect logic or reason to get in their way now.

Team Rape must be so upset...wounded, violated and powerless. Sounds appropriate.

Remember that Rape Nuts are not a healthy way to start your day.

(I still can't believe Indiana Republicans tossed Lugar for that half-wit Mourdock.)

Team Rape shouldn't have dressed up the way they did and acted like they did. I mean they were just ASKING to have their asses handed to them.

It's all their fault. But I am sure there is a way they can just "shut the whole thing down" and feel all better.

Don't forget about John "the rape thing" Koster. Buh-bye.
Thank you, American women voters!

Alright, we've found it. For decades, liberals have been stumped in being able to counter the "tax & spend" label that was forced upon it like a scarlet letter.

Team Rape are conservatives. Conservatives are Team Rape. Voting for a Republican is like voting for rape. We have congressmen McDermott (D-WA) and Reichert (Rape-WA). Join the Rape Team! Vote Republican!

And you'd think by now they'd learn their lesson, but lesson-learning doesn't seem to be part of the Republican DNA.
