Oh, c’mon. I was a Cain supporter but if he had not been at least behaving questionably he would have sued those women. He did not. He showed really bad judgement. Like this goofball.

Thanks, I will donate. If Coulter-i.e. Romney apologist wants him gone; that's good enough for me.

So you are for the term legitimate rape and that a females reproductive shuts down during rape.

Are you for Romney not caring about the very poor and enjoying being able to fire people?

Who Will Stick With Todd Akin

Claire McCaskill and the Democrats, of course. Leave it to someone like Akin to snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Hannity did not badger Akin. He was very restrained and respectful. He really wasn't pushing him to quit, he was just pointing out things Akin clearly wasn't aware of. Akin was touting the PPP polling data to suggest he was still ahead, but Sean politely explained Repubs were oversampled by 9 points...Akin couldn't even respond.

Akin refused to acknowledge the bigger picture or that his agenda may have greater success in someone else’s hands. He felt like he was the only one who could represent his agenda.

Give it up, the only people who want the self-absorbed Romney to stay in the race

And can you show me where Romney is a sudden expert on legitimate rape and how the female reproductive system shuts down during rape, as asshat Akin was.

BTW, I was not an initial Romney supporter, but Romney does have one thing that legitimate rape Akin and Obama do not have, and that is class.

It’s so unfair it seems.

At least Akin didn't tell the rape victim, "Better put some ice on that."

It appears that Todd has decided to stick it to us.

Total garbage. I heard it and it was your classic extremely biased Hannity interview full of nothing but leading questions. Usually he's pitching softballs to Republicans, in this case he was trying to destroy a fellow Republican. How in the world is it a fair interview to ask the same question 10 times, "Will you drop out because of A.? How about because of B.? Well, what about C.?" The interview was a joke, as it usually is with Hannity. However usually his interviews are pleasant, pro-conservative jokes. This one was just ugly.

Let it go. He’s ahead. He has a solid Conservative voting record. We need all the Rep we can get!
Stop letting the rats throw up these distractions and get back to the real issue- the economy!!

There's nothing classy about lying to Newt's face on live television that Newt supposedly "resigned in disgrace."

Yeah Akin is meeting ‘the man in black’ in the smoke-filled back room right now.

Love to be a fly on the wall, they could get a good price from Romney if he really wants him gone.

The Senate campaign committee has revoked the $5 million it designated for Representative Akin, and key fundraising events have been canceled.

And rightly so.

Surely, you recognize that the campaign committee is obligated to spend the money where it will do the most good, in terms of winning or maintaining Republican seats?

Akin single-handedly turned a probable win into, at best, an uphill battle. There are now more winnable seats which this $5 million can help secure.

And that is precisely where the money should be spent.

I signed the petition.

I think if everyone went to his site and read his remarks on the incident, they might change their minds.

We need a Republican to replace the rat running.
He can do this. He’s still ahead after all this.
