The NRSC does all it can to prevent conservatives from getting into the senate.

"Conservatives" is one thing. "Idiots determined to shoot themselves in the foot" is something else.

Yup.

“Legitimate rape” could be a gaffe. Saying that women’s bodies are able to distinguish between voluntary and forced insemination shows he’s out to lunch and needs to go.

I agree. But my point is valid. The NRSC would support a backstabbing Specter year upon year but they’d have to be dragged kicking and screaming to support a conservative.

[Vigilanteman]

Exactly. For those with short memories, they can Google "Tom Foley" or "Clayton Williams."

How many Freepers (Texans don't count) even remember Clayton Williams?

Todd Akin is a strong supporter of the right to bear arms; he voted for the Ryan Budget; he has a 96% approval rating by the American Conservative Union; he is pro life and voted against state tax money funding abortions and he voted against the l993 tax increase and education spending increase. LOOK at Claire and her plane? her tax controversy? her vote for Obamacare. Akin made a gaffe and corrected it..he was selected by the voters of MO to run for Senate. To hell with Scott Brown and the other rinos. Google Akins RECORD VS MCCASKILLS...the man is a good conservative and I am ashamed at the gop for jumping ship. Reminds me of how Bush treated Scooter Libby..he abandoned him.
