Insane argument. The RNC and Rove’s group are the ones who’ve denied funding to Akin. His gaffe was not a big deal and would be forgotten in weeks if the campaign was allowed to proceed as normal without the GOP eating their own and throwing away the seat to the Dems. The GOP elites are trying their darnedest to lose this seat. Akin is fighting hard to win it.
It made international news. I suppose you think the moon landing was not a big deal either. Or maybe Clinton's finger wagging. That was just sex, not a big deal, let's move on. Same corrupt logic.
It was a huge deal. Yet, you and the demented dozen defenders of the indefensible have circled the wagons around Akin because you liked the pro-life "tune" he was playing.
Wake up! He is not irreplaceable! His continued presence jeopardizes the very values and agenda you and he claim to hold dear.
Akin's fighting hard for a fatter paycheck and power power. His actions tells us he's not fighting for the causes but something much less noble.
As I said a few days ago, thank goodness this didn't happen the last week of October. Now we have to fight for every Vote while convincing the Electorate that this Idiot misspoke about RAPE.
He didn't just compromise the Senate Seat from MO, he compromised control of the Senate because he is the Republican version of Joe Biden, without the positive Press.
I will assume you know who runs the Media, and it ain't Jim Robinson.
Akin’s “gaffe” will not “be forgotten in weeks”. Only political neophytes can think that this is a GOP-inspired debacle. The DemoMarxists fed this single-issue career pol his $, got him votes, and did reverse psych marketing to advance him in the GOP primary. Their sole reason for diverting scarce resources and energy to Akin’s GOP campaign was to use this imbecile as the poster boy for the “GOP’s War on Women”. And good ol’ Todd was only happy to step up and play. Think I’m way off base? Have you seen how many house and senate Dem candidates, let alone Obamugabe, are bringing up Akin by name and tying him to their GOP opponents? How about the DemoMarxists revamping their convention speaker list to essentially make their convention a Planned Parenthood meeting? Look, I supported Newt Gingrich in this race and I’m no fan of Romney or the Rove wing of the GOP. But, in this case, they’re correct - and they’re not alone - tried and true conservatives, seeing the impending doom Akin is going to bring on the entire party (and, moreover, the entire nation) have echoed the GOPe. And, if your main political issue is protecting unborn life, be real - think of what Akin is doing. By staying in the race and keeping the issue of rape/abortion/etc front and center - thus diverting attention away from what the Marxists are doing to our country - Akin is only increasing the chances of the Dems retaining control of the Senate, perhaps losing the House and keeping an untethered Obamugabe in the White House for what will be the worst 4 years in our country’s history. And, what will happen to the prolife cause? Well, Reid/McCaskill and colleagues will gladly support Obamugabe’s 2 or 3 additions of pro-infanticide justices to the Supreme Court for their lifetime appointments.
Thanks, Todd, you’ve done a great service to your constituents, your state , your country and the millions more babies who will be aborted. But, “you’re a fighter” and “you stood on your principles” against the evil wascally Wepublicans!
