WM, I am sorry but I don’t recognize this forum any more. We have gone from an Army of soldiers on the precipice of rebellion to a mob of appeasers crying out for mercy from our captors.

I'd say the majority here are still fighters for what's right. That is after all what brought us here. It's only that recently the vitriol from those that are more "republican" than "conservative" has escalated. They are more vocal these days. I think it stems from a feeling of loss of control. There are factions of the GOP that are in outward rebellion of the power brokers within. The fundraising campaign in Missouri has locally become known as the campaign to help save Akin from the party bosses. Unfortunately, as the GOP country clubbers struggle to keep the uppity electorates' "asses in line" they only serve to alienate themselves and further fuel the rebellion.

Keep your chin up. There are little victories along the way. Like "Remember the Alamo", we now have "Remember Scott Walker" in Wisconsin. We have "Remember Chik-Fil-A" in Georgia. And hopefully we'll have "Remember Todd Akin" in Missouri. It would be easier on all of us if the GOP would turn it around and quit making war with their conservative base. But, if they do not, the worst thing we could do is stop fighting back. Keep standing tall, FRiend.

Yet, Akin chose to run as a Republican and he ran against Conservatives in the primaries. He allowed in Democrat help to do that.

That makes him pretty much the same sort of politician as Romney, and I"d suggest we are oversubscribed to that kind as it is.

One fewer of that kind is not a catastrophe.
