If we threw out every politician who made one gaffe, who would be left? Only politicians who "enjoy being able to fire people" and "aren't concerned about the very poor?" This rush to judgment against Akin is despicable, cowardly, irrational, mean-spirited and counter-productive.
Listen, Jedi. I have been fighting for Sarah Palin in the face of 3 years of a media and RINO smear campaign. So I understand your frustration.
However, with Palin, I was confident that she, if given the chance (beyond the bias), could speak directly to the American people and articulate an effective message. She’s a star.
Todd Akin is not that guy. He is not worth losing the country for. This election is too important.
That Akin would risk an otherwise safe seat to satisfy his own ego is despicable, cowardly, irrational, mean-spirited and counter-productive.
Were I a Missourian, I would vote for Akin vs McCaskill...all the while regretting that he alone is responsible for losing the seat.
It's gone, JJ, it's gone.
