Is this what you support?
“Who ordered this “Code Red” on Akin? There were talking point memos sent from the National Republican Senatorial Committee suggesting language to urge Akin to drop out. Political consultants were ordered to stay away from Akin or lose future business with GOP committees. Operatives were recruited to set up a network of pastors to call Akin to urge him to get out. Money has changed hands to push him off the plank. It is disgraceful. From the spotlights of political offices and media perches, it may appear that the demand for Akin’s head is universal in the party. I assure you it is not. There is a vast, but mostly quiet army of people who have an innate sense of fairness and don’t like to see a fellow political pilgrim bullied.”
Well I didn’t read or see any of those things, and I didn’t talk to any of those people. But on Monday morning I started calling and urging Akin to drop out. By Tuesday PM it was as clear as anything has ever been that he did not possess the political or intellectual skills to get himself out of the hole he was in.
And anybody who thinks that Republicans defending Akin or even just shutting up about him would have helped with the MSM is DELUSIONAL.
The double standard is alive and well and while at times it may be overcome, this was/is not one of those times.
I’m glad there was so much push-back against him, it was all that could be done to inoculate the rest of the republican candidates.
Another silver lining MAY be that the Dems will overplay this. An abortion, etc. celebration at their convention likely will not play well in Peoria or anywhere else.
Agreed~~~ The same army that marched into Chick-Fill-A on appreciation day!!! GO HUCK... GO AKIN!!! If I stand for this man alone, I will!!!!
