[Theodore R.]

I would certainly vote for Akin without hesitation, but I fear MO people will be afraid to do so. People in MO don’t like to be ridiculed, as the national media has done in this matter.

[texican01]

Even more amazing was that some “FPers” were as dumb as RINOs!

Everyone keep your eye on the marks: the communist Muslim in the WH and the despicable Anti-God Party Senators. If I lived in Missouri, I'd vote for a cockroach over McObamacare!!

BTW, Akins is not a cockroach!!!

[tsowellfan]

Gee, I almost forgot about what Akin had said.

[dalebert]

Jeez ..AKIN again?

[bboop]

It is ALL about removing Obama from office. While I agree with Dobson, this is the last thing that should be aired publicly. What is it? Rule #13? Could we not attack our own just for a few weeks? And keep our eyes on the prize?

Gad! Humans!

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I voted for Brunner and was pissed when Governor LearJet ran her ads during the primary dog-whistling the Democrats to cross over and vote for him, but Akin has demonstrated to me that he has a spine of steel, something people like Boner and McConnell have never heard of.

He can beat McCaskill. McCaskill is not his problem. His problem is that he has defied the GOPe (I'm looking at you, Tokyo Rove and Haley "Buy Your Pardon Here" Barbour) and they are out to destroy him, even if it means sacrificing the Missouri Senator seat.

[HANG THE EXPENSE]

Sure seems to me that republicans want to lose this election cycle.Akin made a mistake and our or the rino side blistered him.I hate the rats but I dont trust the pubbies any more than I do the rats.

[Lorianne]

Dobson can KMA
And so can the GOP for that matter.

[GeronL]

The GOPe is full of crap. They want conservatives to bow down and vote for moderates/liberals but they cut off any conservative

[KansasGirl]

FU Akin. You have damaged the GOP’s election hopes for 2012, and you don’t don’t even give a damn. You’ve put your personal ambition before your country. The MO GOP made a fatal error choosing you as the nominee (with the help of McCaskill and a lot of other Rat crossover votes).

Dobson and Huckabee talked Akin into staying in the race. Why aren’t they funding him?

[centurion316]

Dr. Dobson is confused. This has nothing to do with Congressman Akin’s political views, nor with his overall decency. This has do with some very ill advised remarks that he made that have placed him in the unelectable category.

Conservatives will vote for Akin, even if they think that his remarks were wrong and politically stupid. Republicans only enjoy a 2.3% advantage over Democrats in Missouri and that includes Republican leaning independents. Akin is going to take a bigger hit than that from true independents and from women on election day. He can’t win. His foolish behavior will likely cause us to fail in our efforts to win control of the Senate.

[epow]

Typical GOP death wish. If a truly conservative GOP candidate seems likely to win, the self-appointed party "bosses" will be quite happy to shoot him/her out of the saddle. Small wonder that we ordinary American conservatives seldom get what we want even when the GOP controls 2 out of the 3 branches of government as it does now. Although the GOP is far more aligned with the desires of conservative voters than the defacto Socialist/Democrat party has ever been or will ever be, many GOP bigwigs oppose, at least to some degree, the application of conservative principles to many vital issues that aren't fully compatible with the party line as espoused by centrist GOP candidates.

May God Almighty who established the greatest nation that has ever existed now empower true patriots to put this nation back together after more than 2 decades of liberal and quasi-conservative governance that has prevailed ever since the Reagan administration left office. One thing is as sure as tomorrow's sunrise, GOP bigwigs who put a semi-centrist party line (if there is such a thing) above conservative principles won't be of much help in that regard.

[Revolting cat!]

Dobson? Is him a kin of Akin?

[Gay State Conservative]

Akins shot himself in the head and it's the GOP'S fault.As my mother used to say when dumbfounded by something....Jesus,Mary and Joseph!!!!

[little jeremiah]

The GOP elite/establishment is more of an enemy to us - real conservatives - than the Dems. Because we know the Dems are the avowed enemy of the Constitution, but the GOP is supposed to be on “our” side.

[blueunicorn6]

I thought all the Democrats had been smoked out. Lots of them on here today. No school, I guess.

[lowteksh]

I find it funny that Akin spends all of his time running ads against “party bosses” instead of McCaskill. He doesn’t seem to understand that the only way to keep the stink of his stupidity off the overall party (and other GOP candidates) they can’t support him. What happens the day after the GOP or Republican Senatorial Committee writes him a fat check? Is Akin really that clueless?

The “party bosses” didn’t say the words that caused this, Mr. Akin. You did. And your stupidity and ego are going to cost the GOP an easy pick-up and possibly the Senate. I live in MO and can tell you that you have absolutely ZERO chance of winning.

[SeminoleCounty]

Anyone still not supporting Todd Akin in his Senate race are just not conservatives.....plain and simple

Only Liberals get so worked up over a comment AFTER the person has apologized profusely for it. If you still are upset over Akin and his comments....you probably have other issues you need to deal with also.

I have never seen so many excuses made to not vote for a solid conservative with a clean background

[editor-surveyor]

This is the GOPe, that would rather lose the senate than see a real conservative elected.

They created the ‘controversy’ out of whole cloth, and will go down fighting.

[muawiyah]

Once Karl Rove proposed murdering Akin to get him out of the way it seemed to me that all the other complaints about Akin became more VISCOUS than VICIOUS ~ this could have happened in the past.
