His gaffe was not a big deal

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.

He's probably fighting to hold RINO Romney's feet to the fire. Romney needs as many enemies in the Congress against his liberal-leaning policies as he can get, so the rift between Romney and Akin just makes me want to support Akin twice as much. Akin's voting record makes it clear what he's fighting for. He's a staunch Christian conservative, not a RINO. And he wouldn't be staying in if he didn't think he could win.

I'm not interested indefending Akin's comments, and neither is he. He apologized and said he is wrong. What's indefensible is his own party pulling the money and support out and trashing him in the press, over a seat we have to win. They made the wrong call. And it is their refusal to accept his apology and give him a second chance, as well as their blowing this up into a "rift in the GOP" story, which has far more media traction then a mere liberal attack, that jeopardizes the Republican chances in this election.

It's not just a coincidence that many of the anti-Romney crowd on Twitter and other places who have predicted a Romney nomination will mean another 4 years of Obama AND have vowed NOT to vote in this election because Romney is actually worse than Obama is the same crowd standing behind the man who took Biden's stupidity off the front page.

For the record: Romney was second to last on my list of candidates. I also predicted the possibility that Romney could lose against Obama.

Difference is, I'm not working to make my prediction a reality not can I any longer blame Romney or the GOPe for our defeat.

Set back for conservatism. This guy needs to go.
