The idea that the Republicans winning the Senate back means saving the country is foolish. If you’re not willing to fight for the traditions you hold dear then it really doesn’t matter who holds office. Ultimately, Obama or Romney doesn’t really matter. Not much will change. Learn the lessons of the past. This whole incident is a good indicator of how things will be. Suddenly, no one cares what this guy (AKIN) actually stands for. Everyone s just arguing about the sound byte of the day. Funny how everyone on this site and others always follow behind the media they constantly mock (media deathwatch in words only)
McConnell and Cornyn are not the saviors of the country.
If we are to take back the country is this not a good place to start (though clearly on the margins), Akin is not a perfect Senate candidate, but where does he fit in the hierarchy of sensible current Senators? Easily in the top 50 I'd suggest.

PS,
Romney will fix the economy. I’ll do way better financially than under Zero. And I’m sorry, I worked, (and still do), too hard for what I do have to risk it like that. I guess its because I’m more libertarian on your precious social issues maybe I can see the potential for a disaster, and that needs avoided at all costs. Yes, ALL costs. See, I kinda follow the “Its All About the Benjamins” school of thought. (Then again, I like Ayn Rand....my only disagreement with her is her atheism.)
First and foremost I happen to be very much a FISCAL and DEFENSE conservative. This election is strictly about THESE few major issues. Jobs, the economy, rebuilding our war-wearied and Zero-demoralized military back to nonpareil form. Finally we need a man who will allow the Keystone Pipeline to be built,will stop the war on coal, and appoints an AG who goes after Eric Holder et. al.
Getting the senate back is crucial. We don’t have the luxury of allowing votes to be split or seats to be lost.
Elect Romney to stop 0bama....elect a majority to both houses to stop Romney.
He wasn’t my first, or even fifth choice. But you better believe that come November 6th I’ll crawl over broken glass and rusty nails to vote for Mitt Romney.
