Nothing demonstrates Akin’s lack of respect for the pro-life movement as much as his fanatical determination to remain in a total lost cause.

If Akin truly cared about the unborn, he would recognize that the GOP cannot afford the risk of ANY marginal Senate candidates this cycle.

Without a senate majority, Obamacare, the most radical pro-abortion federal law in our history, will remain on the books. Harry Reid as majority leader will never allow a vote to repeal Obamacare. NEVER.

I think the guy who said that the trees were the right height was bizarre and offensive...


It was “trees cause more pollution than factories”....the Akin whiners would have tossed out the famous conservative politician that said it

And it was not Willard......

Someone as innocent as a boy scout....

Romney wants to have homosexual boy scouts.

If he can’t speak clearly, then what?
Is he going to continue digging deeper?
Why did McCaskill’s PAC largely finance his primary?

After he loses in a landslide, maybe he and his family can do a reality show

Staff are putting up Akin banners, so he may not be stepping aside.

Akin has admitted he was mistaken. He has stated he was misinformed. You are now purposely misrepresenting Akin.

You are wrong to keep stating something Akin now readily admits was a mistake. I believe Akin is sincere.

I saw his apology, where Akin stated he was wrong. Lots of people say stupid things. I am more concerned about Obama, Clinton, Kennedy, Dodd, Reid, Gore, Pelosi, Franken, .....

This fool is digging an even bigger hole if he stays in. Just get out and let someone else step in.

And you proved my point....Akin is being forced out because of his conservative pro-life beliefs, and not some ignorant comment

Not quite. Akin should depart because he is a.) ignorant, b.) incoherent in support of the pro-life position, c.) full of himself and d.) stupid (as distinct from ignorant). None of these aspects are attractive in a Senator -- even if he is pro-Life.

How about a pro-life candidate without these burdens...???

Because McCaskill didn’t stand a chance against Brunner or Steelman. Just dang it! I so despise Claire McCaskill!

According to the latest poll I saw posted here today, (Rasmussen I think) MO is going to the Marxist, thanks to Akin. Of course it’s early and subject to change, but there’s already several graphics of Akin.
