Akin Blames “Lib Media” For Trying to Make Him Drop Out …(Is Mitt Romney Lib Media?)

Jim Hoft

Oh dear. This is seriously crazy.
Todd Akin blamed the liberal media tonight for trying to make him drop out of the race.

Are Mitt Romney, John Ashcroft, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin the liberal media?

The man is a delusional idiot. He is a self-indulgent, proud, stubborn moron who is going to suffer a nationalized humiliating defeat. Not because he is pro-life but because he is dumber than a box of rocks.

He cannot speak three words without tripping over his tongue. He is boorish and inarticulate and cannot see the fatal damage he has done to his own campaign, and is willing to hurt his party and the country and his own supposedly cherished pro-life ideals in a futile attempt to revive his doomed senatorial ambitions. He is selfish and stupid.

I am furious and sick about what this vile man as brought upon himself and his party. He has no honor. The only solace is that he will be soundly defeated and humiliated. But that gives me very little comfort because of the damage he as done to the country.

Fear of the liberal media makes cowards of Republicans.

Three-out-of-four, anyway.

Add Palin to your list. She was just on Greta calling for him to drop out.

I linked the interview below. Sarah seemed -- I won't say furious, but genuinely upset. She understands how much damage Akin has done.

No. In this particular matter they are spineless, political opportunists. Rather than put the best construction on things in defense of the unborn, they fear how loud liberals will squawk as their sacrament of abortion is withheld in the interest of what is good and right.

Uh... NO. You're clearly not very familiar with the named individuals, particularly Ashcroft or Levin. If you think there's any chance of putting "best construction" on the fiasco Akin put forth, you're beyond hope. it can't be done and that's why he needs to go in spite of himself.

He's caused tremendous harm to the pro-life movement with his foolish statements. It remains to be seen how contained the damage will be on the election.

“(Is Mitt Romney Lib Media?)”

Is that a rhetorical question?

“Not soon enough before this loon changed the national focus on our disastrous economy. “

There are a lot of people who don’t have a problem with the economy (not everyone is unemployed and people are still buying iPads) but they do have a big problem with abortion.

“As it is, right now I’m just sad for what looks like a lost opportunity to pick up a Senate seat.”

If the dems make it an effective national issue, we could lose much more than one seat.

Thanks. I respectfully disagree, and am happy to see, for once, an individual stand firm on behalf of innocent life to the extent he is even willing to lose a political race. Now that he is committed it is a win-win whether he enters the office to which he aspires or not.

He does not put himself above a party, his state, or the country, but offers himself to service on behalf of a principle so fundamental to civil rule that without it we slide down the toilet of moral ineptitude. He's got more spine than Mark Levin, Ashcroft, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Allen West, Sarah Palin, and the GOPe combined.

I would expect the rats of have ORCasms over this, but for those who claim the mantle of conservatism to discourage a man with a 100% conservative rating rather than encourage him, that is a demonstration of shameless gutlessness; an unknown quality in our founders and founding principles.

I, for one, will not buy into the liberals' divide and conquer strategy. We have a terrific opportunity to instill both fiscal and social sanity to the American fabric. If there's anything stupid about the whole affair, it is abandoning a conservative out of fear of how other people feel. There's no good reason we cannot enjoy wins across the board, nanny nailbiters notwithstanding.
