My my, pretty selective in your choices of my comments regarding Todd Akin.

There’s a BIG difference between “bashing Todd Akin” and “bashing his political dilemma”

Here are some of my comments...


If we’re going to win that seat, we’re going to win it with him, whether we like it or not.

I agree. We will either win the Senate with him or lose the Senate because of him. If I lived in Missouri I would vote for the man and do it with pleasure (unlike Romney).

That being said, he’s likely going to lose anyways. It’s all but inevitable.

Actually the stupid remark that Trent Lott made was “I’m sorry”. I found nothing wrong with what he had said.

Akin should have never apologized.

Now that’s a good deal for Akin and the conservative movement! We need Akin’s beliefs in the House.

Majority Leader, Akin? Sounds nice I’d LOVE that! But I’m sorry about to burst your bubble but I go by the numbers and the post rape comment polling data for Akin is not impressing me at all.

Akin is one of those candidates I would LOVE to see win and be in the Senate but when I look at electability my feet return back to earth.

It’s very unfortunate because more than a week ago he had it all going for him.

We should all agree to take a timeout on the Akin fiasco.

I agree 100%!

I’m leaving the issue with this:

If Akins wins the Senate seat, he can say he did it without the GOP, the RINOs and GOPe.

It will be HIS victory and he will own it.

If he loses. He owns that defeat and the results of it. Nobody else.

One of my last comments regarding Akin (before this thread) was when I remarked how unfair it was to Akin that the GOP left his name off the electoral map on their website. In fact I was one of many who contacted the GOP and protested against it.

You launched a campaign here against the guy and you apparently speak out of both sides of your mouth to some degree when you see your original position losing traction.

The proof is here, you posted at least 15 anti Akin threads and argued with a number of freepers who were defending Akin to the point some asked when will you quit beating this horse.

Now Akin shows he might still win because MO voters ain’t stupid and you are backtracking, parsing and proving you doublespeak on this forum to try to wiggle out of what you did.

You posted all those anti Akin threads and commented negatively on his IQ and that he was a DNC dupe and so forth.

grow a spine and admit how you were wrong...it happens

The only people on our side who made his comments on rape exclusion an issue were folks like yourself. For folks like me it never was an issue.

But you panicked and went off on yer anti Akin jihad and here you are now being all Eddie Haskell about it...figures.

You allowed the liberal media and DNC to play you.

Pwned by them as it were.
