That is honestly the stupidest thing said yet on this.

What I said is the meat of issue. Shameless opportunists hiding behind fake outrage and sissy-like fatalism in an effort to get a more preferred losing candidate shoved in.

I agree with you Breto. VanDeBonkers is in denial.

I have no preferred candidate and do not live in Missouri.

What I do know is that conservatives from coast-to-coast deserve better than this.

We MUST have this seat. I give Akin 48 hrs to turn this around, or he’s got to go.

This CANNOT be another Sharron Angle or Christine O’Donnell.

This guy isn’t a strong candidate. He got 36 percent of the vote in a divided primary.

Also, we all understand that the pro abortion vote isn’t coming his way.

However in these swing states there aren’t enough die hard conservatives to simply nominate and successfully elect every candidate who has the best conservative voting resume or stirs up 35 percent of the vote in a divided primary. If that were the case, the GOP would control the Senate with 65 votes right now.

To win these seats, you need to have really good candidates. Sharp people who understand how to deal with the media. Because there are the 10 percent of the electorate in the middle who decide these things. These moderates and independents may not be pro abortion but will listen to the Akin remarks and simply conclude he’s a dope. And they either stay home or vote for Claire. Game over.

I’m tired of us running Christine O’Donnell’s or Sharon Angles or now Todd Akin’s and losing these seats that should run GOP.

Akin does need to step aside before more damage and let one of the other two take the slot for the GOP. We’ve got to have a solid 51-53 votes to dump Obamacare.

Thank you for the complement... I dont remember calling you a moron?

What you said may well be true but in real life politics.... also irrelevant...
