“Huckabee is the devious creep propping up this fool to stay in the race and DO MORE DAMAGE. Is Huckabee trying to destroy Ryan/ Romney chances in 2012 for his own run in 2016 ????? “
Don’t see you whining about how Romney and his team helped destroy McCain/Palin’s chances in 08 so they could have their chance in 2012.
But as for Akin. He’s a CONSERVATIVE. LOOK AT HIS RECORD. LOOK AT HIS COMMENTS. You’re buying into the leftist and GOPe propaganda which is determined to screw this guy over so badly that there is NO CHANCE any GOP candidate will win the seat against the Dems. And you know what? I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s the point. Rove and the rest don’t want actual reform. They want to work with Dems to push through their agenda with some cover.
Perkins also sent out a blast e-mail last night noting that the GOP has stood by moderates in the past and therefore “Singling out Todd suggests a double standard, designed to drive out social conservatives.” Why are heavy hitters like him and Huckabee ready to fight and die on Magic Uterus Hill when there’s overwhelming bipartisan disgust at Akin for what he said?This writer is a pig! I hate talk like this. You won't catch phraseology like this coming out of the mouths of Perkins, Huckabee or Akin.
Oh no, not yet another negative post. People, for the love of all that is sacred, get a firm grip and stop already.
It’s a bit strange to see so many conservatives falling in the face of pressure from the left. Did somebody use hypnosis again?
There’s nothing wrong with Akin. We should be circling the wagons, supporting him more than ever.
Folks, don’t let your minds be defeated by political correctness.
Huckabee didn’t hurt us in 2008, he helped us.
This whole Akin thing is just nuts. He is pro-life but not worthy of office, PERIOD. Huck needs to shut up and go away. Talk about a fungus. UGH!
Huckster did the same trick in 2008....he too is a self-centered useful idiot
No, but Huckabee isn’t a coldhearted political consultant. He bases his decisions based on Christian values and principles, not on “ends justifying the means.” Just the same as Mike Gallagher and Steve Deace, who are also supporting Akin on their radio shows.
The most important and meaningful event in years for conservatives was the Chick-fil-A appreciation day he organized, one RINO losers like Romney ignored.
“Devious” does not begin to describe the mischief that has been wrought in recent days, first with a Senatorial candidate who made a double gaffe on the air, with almost a single breath, then proceeded to double down on the damage already done, by neither admitting ignorance, nor by exhibiting any sort of humility for what was, for a short time anyway, only a misuse of a single word.
Rape is never “legitimate”, there is only one word that accurately describes this act of personal terrorism, and that is “forcible”. Nothing legitimate about that sort of trauma at all. Rape is an assault, a physical battering, with intent to do sufficient bodily harm so submission becomes the only alternative offered. The rapist relies on greater physical strength and the relative lack of will on the part of the victim to exert dominance. Ugly any way you look at it, rape is form of sexual bullying that is wrong on so many levels.
That objection aside, the reliance on some long-abandoned medical theory, that the female endocrine system somehow makes it impossible for the fertilized ovum to implant is the female is subjected to severe physical trauma, has been disproven over and over, long before this postulate was ever raised. There is roughly the same probablity that fertilization will take place, and the fertilized egg will implant, after a rape as after consensual union without all the trauma.
Now, the argument is made, to terminate a pregnancy after the act of forcible rape, is that just, right or even to be considered? There are so many variables here, it is hard to come with a “one-rule” answer. The liberals have had a easy answer (for them), ever since the right to abortion on demand was authorized by judicial decree, but nowhere is there any record of any such law being determined by public acceptance, through representative voting on the virtues or the ethical wrongness of such a blanket permission.
In his head, this may be the point that Todd Akin was trying to make, but he either cannot or will not articulate it, and falls back on his “strong Christian belief” as support, no logic allowed.
Therefore, it becomes a mission from God to stand or fall on this one postulate, and everything else just gets lost in the smoke and ruin that is left in its aftermath.
While all this as an admirable goal, as seen in the abstract, it only diminishes the larger effort here. People who should know better get swept up in the passion of the moment, and if the game doesn’t go their way, they will just scoop up all their marbles and go home.
That strategy for getting your way wore thin at about the age of six.
If Missouri folks vote for McCaskill it will become the “Eat Me” state.
The only people hurting republican chances are republicans themselves.
This is what the democrats did to the republicans in August of 2012.

"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."
Shame on you, Mike Huckabee, forcing those poor GOP operatives do these things! /s
Huckabee is a plant....by the Jimmy Carter wing of the Democrat Party. What a jerk. I wish that slack jawed huckster would go away.
The Huckster is worse than Akin. At least Akin has the sense to know that rapists belong in prison; the Huckster lets them out if they spin a bogus sob story about finding Jaysus and being born again as upstanding citizens.
