Appearing on Sean Hannity’s radio program for the second time in as many days, Missouri Republican Senate candidate Todd Akin attacked the GOP’s presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, for joining a chorus of Republicans asking him to withdraw from the race. Akin said that Romney had blown the controversy out of proportion and implied that he had done so for his own political gain.
Hannity asked Akin, given the number of prominent Republican politicians asking Akin to drop out including Romney, if he is even pausing to consider leaving the Senate race in Missouri.
“Let me ask you this,” Akin began. “If you were in Romney’s position, don’t you think that he may have bid this thing up and made a bigger deal about it than he needed to?”
“Why couldn’t he run his race and I run mine,” asked Akin. “If things really look like they’re getting in trouble in Missouri than maybe — but he has just assumed.”

The abortion loving RINO mitt threw Akin under the bus first. Every time mitt opens his mouth is one more reason not to vote for him.
Actually, Rush has never been one to circle the wagons and defend the indefensible. Ever.
He tells the truth, and calls em like he sees em.
For example, from his transcript today:
Akin's Remark was Stupid and Untrue -- Now He Must Put the Nation's Future First
Whether he wins or not (and I don’t think he will - he posted a distorted poll, and a more objective one already shows him losing), he’s going to give the Dems something to harp on from now to the election. And in fact, by the time the election rolls around, even Missourians won’t vote for him. They may not vote for McCaskill, but they will essentially do so by not going to the polls if Akins is the candidate.
He should leave now, except that his giant ego is blocking the exits. And btw, most of the people in your tag line have been telling him to leave.
Yeah, right. Romney made him go out and make a fool of himself.
“Why couldn’t he run his race and I run mine,”
You did run your race, fool, and you misstepped badly. Why couldn’t you control your stupid dumbf**k mouth and have answers for the top ten gotcha questions so you don’t have to make them up on the spot and look like a flaming moron when you stumble? Really stupid. And stupid that we have to waste energy on this. And stupid that this is what’s important when the country to is going straight to hell.

As I recall they didn't have too. Pretty much any scribble with an M in front was accepted.
Politics is full of arrogant ego driven sob’s like Akin, so not surprised that he is not quitting.
You never fail to crack me up! At work, when my colleagues down the hall hear me chuckling, I tell them it's good ol' dfwgator striking with his keen wit on FR. Your sense of humor and movie references are spot on. You're not Gordo, are you? :-)
And here in Va. George Allen has a tight race and has strong pro-life views...
“George Allen on Monday was among the first Republican U.S. Senate candidates to publicly condemn Missouri Rep. and Senate candidate W. Todd Akin’s remarks...”
That takes the heart out of the ‘Repubican war on women’ meme. Everybody can ride this train- and it’s just politics.
Most? Palin and Newt haven't weighed on it as far as I know. Don't know about Trump either, but obviously I don't agree with Trump's stand on social issues. My tagline is about how Romney's GOP is not allowing any Republican who isn't an establishment lapdog to speak at the convention. Doesn't mean I always agree with them, but they're certainly far more interesting than the usual boring country club Republicans that Romney represents.
He is dumber than a box of rocks. The guy has a room temperature IQ.
He is full of himself and does not realize that he has become the laughing stock of the country. Stupid beyond belief.
Oh what a crock!
So how does Todd Akin feel about George Allen’s “macaca” comments?
I’m happy Akin is attacking Romney. It makes it easier for RR to dissociate themselves from him.
...and he’s done.
Missouri was a must have state. It’s now gone and with that the election. All the rest is a waste of time and money. Just goes to show it’s always your own side that puts the real screwing to you. Spot the Stupid Party 20 points in a game of 21 and they will find a way to lose. EVERY FREAKING TIME!
