I am not 'joking' when I make these demands... We have what we have and money is the life's blood of politics. Now the Akin supporters got their way, it is time to quit itching about the mean ole GOP and put up or shut up. There is an election to be won, in-spite of what I consider an incompetent messenger.
I like Pat, but I would note that he had trouble winning elections. Akin will, too.
Patrick J Buchanan was fighting the good fight long before this forum came to be. Pat took on that former head spook in the Ford-Rockefeller administration when that incumbent president had betrayed EVERY Reagan conservative in America by getting elected on the slogan, "Read my lips, no new taxes," when come to find out he was lying through his teeth.
This is what Buchanan had to say for himself in 1992 when he had the audacity to challenge a sitting incumbent President in the primaries.
If the country wants to go in a liberal direction, if the country wants to go in the direction of [Democrats] George Mitchell and Tom Foley, it doesn't bother me as long as I've made the best case I can. What I can't stand are the back-room deals. They're all in on it, the insider game, the establishment game—this is what we're running against
He was fighting the Pubbie Elite long before most conservatives understood there was such a thing.
It was precisely such disgust with status quo GOP party types that motivated my leaving the party back in 2010. They are so afraid of their own shadow.... They react to "social issues" the same way Count Dracula reacts to the sight of the Holy Cross.
They are totally deaf to the Tea Party....
Pusillanimous S.O.Bs! If anything, by their actions, they only work to reelect Claire McCaskill....
Whatta bunch of jerks! There wouldn't even be an "issue" here, if THEY had not made it into one.
Well, JMHO FWIW.
That's because the Left has used its control of the media to set up "killing fields" of interlocking fire to destroy any conservative who would dare to help.
Meanwhile, the media medics race onto the field of battle to swiftly carry the Teddy Kennedys to safety...
Some of us conservatives actually understand how the Left/media game works. You CANNOT win against multiple interlocking machine gun nests, when you're not able to destroy those machine gun nests.
It's best to shoot your wounded, so the enemy can't hang them up on a post alive in front of their trenches and torture them for the fun of it.
You used too many multi-syllabic words in there, Jedi. The little boys and girls of the PeePee & Cooter Party know ALL ABOUT how their private parts work, and they don't need any smart guys telling them stuff they already know, especially with big words.
Keep it simple. Pointing and mouthbreathing is even better.
Basically, the PeePee & Cooter Party managed to drag Akin into their wheelhouse - the only thing they REALLY like to talk about, and think they understand because they have boyparts and ladyparts.
The StuPublicans need to start cutting them off at the knees. "If you want to talk about your peepee or her ladyparts, go give a speech to a second-grade class somewhere, Mr. President. Don't forget your teleprompter."
Victory over ideological purity any day and twice on Sundays.
Call it pragmatism.
That SOB Akin has endangered that senate takeover.
I lose money.
Screw him and his supporters. Get in the way of me increasing net worth because of your “values”? Hell no.
More like Wrong-Way Corrigan
If Akin loses and we lose the senate, there IS no coming back.
Akincare will be here to stay.
One mistake?
I’m not in Missouri and never heard of this assclown before the other day.
Do a Google Search on “Akin gaffes” and see the long list that comes up. he has quite a history of running his mouth before his brain was engaged.
He’s almost as bad as Biden.
Pat Buchanan is a bitter old anti-semitic and bigoted drunk.
And he kills about a bottle of scotch a day.
If one of your heroes is Elmer Gantry, then I fear for your sanity.
I did donate!
Everyone here who is calling Akin an idiot is too stupid to use a dictionary or listen / read something IN CONTEXT. Akin was simply saying that when abortion is legal only in the case of rape then many who want an abortion will claim to have been raped whether they were or not. THEREFORE IN THE CASE of a REAL OR LEGITIMATE (LOOK IT UP DUMB PEOPLE) rape vs. a REPORTED FAKE RAPE BY SOMEONE who just wants an abortion and WAS NOT RAPED.
Akin is a solid conservative and believes in strong penalties FOR ALL RAPE including statuatory rape, forcible rape, etc..... ALL THOSE TYPES OF RAPES ARE LEGITIMATE OR REAL / ACTUAL RAPE.
This is the most disappointing thing I’ve ever witnessed in american politics. It is the character assasination - the scapegoating of a good man who did NOTHING wrong - SAID NOTHING wrong!
I didn’t vote for Akin in the primary - I voted for Steelman. I’m sorry I did - she condemned Akin for his comments like an IDIOT! Akin is my man now - he hasn’t backed down. I’m GLAD to see a pubbie with backbone for a change. Maybe the GOPe won’t be so quick to assasinate its nominee in the future.
I’ve seen so many words put in AKin’s mouth by you people on Free republic. I thought you all were smart - well I can see that most of you are FAKE conservatives - FAKE intellectuals. You’re all a bunch of phonies for trashing this man. SHAME ON ALL OF YOU who have called Akin DUMB. You’re dumb.
Idiot.....even Akin repudiated that and admitted he was wrong.
Unless there’s tons of peer-reviewed proof done with stringent controls and it appears in the NEJM or similar,
Its junk science and frankly even less credible than global warming.
So are his supporters.
You’re the one who’s deluded.
You see this as a local thing.
Its national.
Akin is derided and mocked by everyone now.
he’s a lame horse, and you shoot them.
I’ll take power.
You make more money and meet hotter girls with power.
If you want that moron in, mortgage your house and send him the proceeds.
Go ahead, take the risk bigmouth.
