Has he ever posted about anyone or anything but Akin? It looks as if he signed up here to campaign against him.
You can't be real! Rather than face Akin's ignorance and egotism, you want to pretend this is a grand conspiracy to "get" a pro-lifer. None-sense.
If you care about pro-life issues, you must realize Akin's done immeasurable damage to the pro-life cause with his ignorant comments. Thanks to him, those values will have one less voice from Missouri because McCaskill's about the be reelected.
Ask yourself this: was Akin supported by the party and the CrossRoad's PAC before his comments? Yes. Did he hold pro-life views before those comments? Yes. There you go. End of story.
The issues Akin claims to value are more important than he is, the Republicans asking him to get out understand that but, sadly, Akin does not.

His comments weren't ignorant, just awkward. If you shut him down on pro-life matters, it really doesn't matter if he is pro-life or not. I'm afraid that's happening with Paul. Saving kids is something folks have to TALK about; ignoring the holocaust on children (and their mothers; keep in mind, they are damaged by abortion) bears no fruit.
Where are the kitties on this one?
Cheers!
Maybe it’s not against the rules to sign up just to campaign against somebody?
Did anybody ping a mod?

I've *PING*ed the same people I always have which used to result in sudden lightning...(frantically scraping flint).
Cheers!
Full respect for Mr. Aiken. I’m saddened by the chumps like Romney and Fox News who asked him to back down. No way. Do not back down, Mr. Aiken. Principles will win out.
Principles my arse. This is all about him and he thinks he is bigger than the movement.
You are exactly right.
What is so hard about this?
“me me me me”
“How do you defend anything if you’re too stupid to get elected?”
Ask Joe Biden.
Ugh... This is about 100x worse than Christine "I'm Not A Witch" O'Donnell, IMO...
And she was pretty bad...
Good one. But Akin doesn’t have the luxury of an ultra stupid constituency.
“Stay in Todd! The dems and rinks want you out for a reason.”
Then why did McCaskill spend 1.5 million to engineer him as her opponent. And has made statements he should stay in? The Dems want him rather than another pro lifer in because they know Akin can beat himself.McCaskill’s biggest weapon in this campaign is her opponent’s mouth. McCaskill can just take a vacation until November and pray Akin does not get laryngitis.
Let us hope very dearly that he can pull it off. Republicans don’t usually get 2nd chances. But it appears that we have no choice but to hope that he can convince the people of the State and of theses united States indirectly that he never meant to say what was heard.
Agree. Everyone knew what he meant, no one really thought he believed any rape was 'legitimate' so why are we all playing this game?
Reminds me of when Katie asked Sarah what she read, just ridiculous.
Akin is a total slimeball. Just looking at his pictures you can see what a creepazoid he is. On the other hand, libs never accept an apology, so whats the point of apologizing.
What in the name of Zeus’ mother did the man actually say?
Would someone PLEASE send me the original column, audio/video or whatever this started from?
Was he trying to say it’s a low percentage of abortions re: rape or something?
I missed the whole timeline. I don’t get it.
