No he doesn’t. It’s the GOP that’s putting themselves in jeopardy by piling on.

Did the Dem Party jump all over Obama for “you didn’t build that”? Nope, the drove on.

Did the budge an inch with Clinton? With Barney Frank?

What’s Akin’s crime: Poor word choice when trying to defend the right to life for children born to rape victims.

“this one man who did nothing wrong”

Stopped reading there.

Stopped thinking too.

..I agree three for three in the first three comments. Every one dead on. How refreshing.

Same here!

The MSM will find ways to dwell on this in a 24/7 loop. They know they can dupe voters with this and hamstring a GOP takeover of the Senate and thus prevent Obamacare from being repealed.

The real problem is if the voting public isn’t bright enough to see through this to the point they vote McCaskill back in and cause Dems to retain the Senate thus keeping Obamacare intact, then my fears that we have a society incapable of the kind of self government the Founding Fathers intended have been realized.

I agree. Don’t play their Alinksy gotcha game. Ram it back down their throats and make them wish they never started this crap. The GOP should Cloward-Piven their Alinksy playbook. Burden their systems until they collapse.

I have had it up to may eyeballs with our side snatching defeat from the jaws of victory over nonsense. I say crush the dems at their own game. Take every Biden slip up and make it a talking point like Rudy did when he asked if Biden had the mental capacity to be president. I would do the same against Obama. There is plenty of items that people can chip away at. We can cause their campaign machine to die a death of a thousand cuts.

The GOP leadership can make it stop anytime they want.

Instead of talking real issues, the media is getting Ryan and Romney twisted up in the crap this moron Aiken spewed out, wasting TIME and publicity on real issues.

Regardless of why Aiken said it, if he were a credible no-nonsense guy with half a brain, he would have had the decency to spare Ryan and Romney from this embarrassing cross-examination, and the rest of us from the threat of an Obama win and/or another six years of that other moron Harry Reid.

The DemocRats have more than the total national share of idiots in Congress. We needn’t be contributing to it.

Yes they can and I have already called and/or e-mailed some to ask them to lay off in hopes this will go away in the news. RNC gives the DNC cannon fodder way too often.

Alinksy", "Aiken"

At least learn to spell people's names before you call others "morons"!

Akin will step down in a few weeks.

1. Lack of money, some donors are asking for their donations be returned. Rep senate committee cut off funds. Sate GOP will not help.

2. You can’t run a campaign without money and this will evidently sink in to Akin.

3. Who will campaign with him? He is toxic in Mo no other Rep running will stand with him.

4. Who will help him organize his campaign? The state and county GOP organizations will not want to be associated and tainted by being associated with him. He can’t do this on his own. See 1,2and 3 above. He is isolated and alone in this state and that will eventually sink in.

5. On Tuesday night, he was the next senator from Mo. A few days later it was pulled from underneath him. He will need a few weeks to let that wound heal, but he will eventually realize his position.

6. He has his political reputation and legacy to consider. If he doesn’t step down and he loses, he will be the most despised politician in the state. If steps down in a dignified manner to help his party, he will leave with some sense of respect.

“Even if they thought he was weakest, they were trying to salt the ground against all three candidates.”

Then explain the McCaskill ad:

“Akin too conservative for Mo”

Don’t remember her saying that about the other two.

Thanks.

Then what about that seat?

McCaskell flies in on her broom with no contest?

I hope the Missouri GOP can pull a “Torrecelli/Lautenberg” maneuver out there and take that seat away from the Democrats. It looks like we might even pick one up in Connecticut now.

“Then what about that seat?”

McCaskill is in deep trouble here in this state. Almost any “legitimate” candidate should be able to defeat her. She is tied at the hip to Obama.

That’s good. I will pray. We need all the help we can get. America needs a national exorcism to cleanse Washington.
