There was such a rush to hang Akin out to dry it seemed very odd to me. And then, when Romney came out and called for Akin to leave the Senate race, I knew something was fishy. Once again, it seems, there is cause to distrust the GOP as it imposes its elective will. I've more to learn before I choose sides, but for the moment I am pleased that at least one Senate Republican elected in 2012 will have the spine to stand against Romney. Unfortunately, we'll need that.

The “rush” is part of Mitt Romney’s strategy, so far as I’ve been able to determine.

If ANY SITUATION AT ALL gives him a chance to prove he really is not a conservative, but is a secret liberal, then he grabs it.

The most recent example is Chick-fil-A and the Boy Scout ruling happening at roughly the same time. Mitt saw fit to publicly distance himself from chicken and publicly reiterate his support for a gay-friendly Boy Scouts of America.

If the rebellion doesn’t hold him accountable, then there will currently be no one in America trying to keep Mitt’s feet to the conservative fire.

And here the CINO movement is busy attacking a 97.5% lifetime ACU senatorial candidate because of a single poorly expressed comment. The whole point, supposedly by the CINOs, is to GET such conservative senators in the Senate...especially the Senate.

But Gay Boy Scouts is the bomb-diggity with Romney. No firestorm of controversy there with these people.

I say “hypocrite” to the whole lot of them.
