He was never a loser...and his wife and 6 children have nothing to do with this. This is what the left and the romneyites did to Sarah Palin and I will have no part in it.

They are all upset that their dreams of winning (what I don't know w/Mutt the lib at the helm) might be upset. They don't see that they are the self-serving ones with a me-me-me mindset.

The hypocrisy I have seen here is mind boggling.

Sarah Palin-Toxic loser
Newt Gingrich-Toxic loser
Rick Perry-Toxic loser
Herman Cain-Toxic loser
Rick Santorum-Toxic loser
Michelle Bachmann-Toxic loser

Well, there is no one left now but romney so who are the losers?
So everyone jumped back and said we HAVE to elect staunch TEA Party Conservatives downticket to hold romney’s feet to the fire.
Now a 3 second misspeak by a staunch, PROVEN, TEA Party conservative and these same people want him hung and replaced by a not so staunch pol who will ride the romney train and rubberstamp him. What changes then? Who will stand for US then?

Rove and the rest don’t want actual reform.

Rove's PAC was spending money running ads for Akin until your saint shot his mouth off.

Don't let facts get in the way of your pathological hatred and paranoia.

Akin can end this fiasco tomorrow or any time until Sept 25th: step aside, pay for the ballot printing and let the state party pick a pro-life commonsense conservative who can win against McCaskill.

Huckabee is a plant....by the Jimmy Carter wing of the Democrat Party. What a jerk. I wish that slack jawed huckster would go away.

If you are this easily manipulated, you are done.

More like "Since you are this easily manipulated, we as a nation are undone."

Cowed is apropos.

Back in the day we used to type of "sheeple" as being the crowd not on Free Republic. These days FR just demonstrates that you can take the sheep out of the herd, but not the herding instinct from the sheep. The GOPe has used the instruments of the Left--propaganda and agitation--against this forum and taken America down with it.

You realize Romney's campaign bought $500 worth of Chick-fil-A during a Georgia stop according to their financial disclosures, right?

No, that won't satisfy you. Nothing would.

Huckabee has made a financially killing as an awe-shucks Christian Socialist while as governor he set free men who murdered with in days and months of release.

“He’s a CONSERVATIVE. LOOK AT HIS RECORD.”

And there are no other conservatives in Mo that can take his place?
People are acting as if he is some reincarnation of Joan of Arc, sent here to lead us to victories, single handedly, over Roe V wade

When are you going to realize he is an ego driven politician.

“Huck needs to shut up and go away. Talk about a fungus. UGH!”

He’s the huckster, he can’t help it.

People are acting like Akin’s record doesn’t matter and that he deserves to be destroyed for a single comment that, when explained, isn’t 1/10th as bad as their hysterics would make you think.

“This delusional fool is selfish, greedy, and destructive.”

That is the central point. Not that hard to grasp.

“Rape is never “legitimate”,”

This is the one word that shines a burning beam into the intellectual make up of Akin’s core beliefs concerning rape.

Some will say a poor choice of words, a gaffe, misspoken verbiage, but that word is very significant and has a very damning meaning.
Akin was referring to women who get pregnant and then claim rape in order to get an abortion, (illegitimate rape) hence the supporting argument that legitimate rape would not result in pregnancy, but a phoney claim of rape had to be phoney because by his logic, the woman got pregnant.

Well something odd is definitely going on, .30.

While I do believe that Akin’s comments were poorly worded, certainly less than artful, they do not come anywhere near the level of offensive needed to create the level of screaming hysteria, vitriol, and just sheer nonsense that I have seen here.

People are acting as if he committed some sort of heinous crime aginst a child or something.

But yeah, if this is real and republicans are this easily pushed, we are undone.

We are going to need to be much, much smarter than this. our enemy is crafty and cunning, and our people seem to be fools of the highest order.

“watch the grassroots rally around Akin.”

You mean the 35-40% of voters who could be mustered (max)to vote for a badly wounded conservative?
He will need many more votes than that to win.
He has destroyed his support from moderates and independents, and they ain’t coming back.

He is a dead man walking.

“Support for Akin is irrational emotional nonsense.”

Man is it ever.

It doesn’t matter, all the defense in the world is not going to change the reality of the situation, he will lose and McCaskill will win. It is just that simple.

Unfortunately you have nailed it to the wall with those observations.

The truth certainly matters. And since the GOPe won’t shut up about it and is telling people they are justified in not voting, he can certainly depend on losing. But not because the GOPe isn’t stupid.

'He and his greedy family want the power and cash that comes with a senate seat'

Does this apply to everyone in the Senate? It's nothing but a stupid personnel attack on a principled, long serving conservative.
