I tire of hearing this same logic whenever a liberal republican is nominated.
When was the last time we faced a communist incumbent in his first term?
And the GOPe does not use the same logic with Akin.
I thought Akin should have resigned. He didn’t and he won’t. Ok so we need to get him elected. Right?
No, not according to the GOPe. They are actively sabotaging his campaign by withholding money and support. Apparently it is more important to them that he lose then the party get another R seat in the senate. Why? So they can crow about it and point it out as an example of why they can’t put up conservatives.
I am as disgusted with the institutional Republican party as I am with the democrats.
