(Reuters) – Missouri conservatives say they are rallying around U.S. Senate candidate Todd Akin despite his controversial comments about rape because they are outraged that “establishment” Republican Party leaders tried to railroad him out of the race.

A backlash has set in here in Akin’s suburban St. Louis congressional district, where supporters said the national party had no right to attempt to force out a duly-elected candidate.

Take your biology/abortion/rape thesis and try selling it to the American public. I’m betting a huge majority won’t buy it.

Is that 'huge majority' the same one who elected Obama ? The same 'majority' that believe it states in the Constitution that GOD must be removed from schools?

It’s an ethnic thing. There are 11 ethnic groups that are known for INCREDIBLE POTENCY. Their women usually get pregnant in the low digits!

Hannity has never discusssed social issues, he is a fraud,. When don;t ask was to be overturned many vets including me called his show and said can we discuss this , over the period of weeks not once did he ever discuss the homosexual agenda.

One vet lied to the screener and said he wanted to discuss health care and he got through. Once he got Hannity on the radio he the vet started to mention don’t ask and Hannity hung up. We heard Hannity say are you there, o he’s gone.

Not once has Hannity ever dscussed social issues, once on his show though he admitted he did not care who married who.

Nearly everyone on here knows Hannity is a fraud and only someone who has not much thought into Hannity and just sits there today would put up with his elitist estbalishment pals, and his liberal pals spewing their crap on his show.

And there in lies the problem, i.e. spinning, selling, damage control.

Ah.... you mean like women who have consensual sex and later claim it was rape ?

[muawiyah]

You failed to account for the fact that Socons have a demonstrable record of simply not voting when they are peeved.

Your analysis is correct ~ 60% of the Conservatives voted for someone else in the primaries. Many Democrats crossed over and voted for Akin. McCaskill campaigned for him. Democrats gave him campaign funds.

There are some real fundamental questions here regarding Akin's legitimacy ~ and then he turned immediately to Leftwingtard commenters to deliver his first big interview.

I don't think I"d vote for him either.

[manc]

Thank you for that info and well done for exposing him.

Sarah RESIGNED when the Democrats put the heat on,thus ruining any real chance of being taken seriously by a majority of VOTERS.

The question will ALWAYS be:”if it gets tough,will she quit/”

Sarah can,and has made millions from speaking and whatnot;I bought her first book,in which she revealed she didn’t pay enough attention to what her staff was doing,specifically the guy who played games on his phone so much.Maybe a great mayor,a really good governor .but resigning the governorship was an act of political suicide.

I’m tired of being told we should always follow Sarah’s endorsements.

Akin was being a “Mr Know-it-all” and continued to elaborate on a subject he didn’t know enough about. Has it been a life long habit? Or was being in spot light of all the attention going to his head? How does anyone rehab that? (unless your on Democrat media free pass) I’d encourage him to go get help and would welcome him back when he is well again.

Great post and exactly what should happen.

[rodguy911]

As of two days ago Akin was ten points down in Rasmussen that should tell you all you need to know.

[Uncle Chip]

he refuses to admit it and let another, better, player take his place. He’s thinking only of himself, and not the team, at this point.

The problem is there is no replacement. Names have been floated in articles and on the radio but all either declined or have their hands full or bring their own set of baggage or see what the GOP did to Akin and want no part of that happening to them.

Furthermore the Democrats at this point are hoping that he would be forced out. They are set to run commercials against whoever would replace him as a stooge of the GOP party bosses in Washington who overturned a valid primary election against the wishes of the people of Missouri.

So which is worse???

[rodguy911]

He had 38% to McCaskill’s 48% in the recent Rasmussen poll. But if you take the 9% that want someone else, he could easily be only one point behind after this controversy. 5% are undecided. If the Republican elite would quit pushing him under the bus and trying to get him to stay under the bus, he will win. If the GOP actually make him drop out at this late stage in the game, they may as well hang it up. There will be too much resentment and McCaskill will win. He said something he shouldn't have. Big deal. Anyone with common sense knows what he meant. He is against abortion in the case of rape.

Big mistake here. The rats alwredy have tarred us with haivng war on woment,such crap only a few oculd belive but if we back this guy they willhave a pr field day.

[rodguy911]

Still looking for those 100% people I see...let me know if you find any....

[UCANSEE2]

Akin has admitted he didn’t know what he was talking about,

Perhaps you could provide that exact qoute ?

you may be haven’t followed the story close enough.

Closer, and in much more depth than maybe you have.

The part he is wrong about is the biology

Is he? So... every time a women has sex (raped or not), they get pregnant ? There are no such thing as 'fertility clinics' in the United States, because it is not a problem ? All women who claim rape were actually 'raped' ? You have statistics and facts to back this up ?

Here is some interesting info:

Manipulating the 'System.'

Women who are willing to kill their own preborn children for mere convenience obviously see lying as a relatively small crime. Rebecca Chalker and Carol Downer admit in their A Woman's Book of Choices that "Before abortion was legal, women sometimes got abortions by claiming that they had been raped."

Pro-abortion women have continued to lie on a huge scale, as proven by the Hyde Amendment's varying effects upon the level of Federal funding of abortions since 1977.

The Hyde Amendment cut off Federal funding for convenience abortions, and paid for 17,983 abortions to save the life of the mother and for rape and incest in Fiscal Year 1981.

In Fiscal Years 1983 and 1984, only abortions to save the life of the mother were allowed under the Amendment, and the average number of abortions paid for during these two years plunged to 411.

This means that about (17,983 - 411) = 17,582 abortions were performed for claimed "rape and incest" under the Hyde Amendment in 1981.

This brings up a very interesting point. To begin with, about 20 percent of all women in the United States qualify for Federal abortion funding under this Amendment due to their low incomes. As mentioned above, the average number of rapes in the United States each year over the period 1980-1997 inclusive was about 179,980.

If this number is divided by five in order to find out approximately how many low-income women were raped during these years, we arrive at 36,000.

In other words, these low-income women are claiming that (17,582/36,000) = 49 percent of all of their rapes resulted in pregnancies!

To take this analysis one step further, Figure 3-5 shows that about 0.8 percent of all women who are raped actually become pregnant as a result of the act. This means that the number of women who claimed that they were raped to get a free Federal abortion was (49 percent/0.8 percent) = 61 times the number that were actually raped.

In other words, more than 98 percent of them lied to get a free taxpayer-paid abortion!

Thanks, and next ask the Democrats if they think a normal, healthy pregnancy should end in abortion? Make Democrats give an explanation.

[rodguy911]

Would not surprise me. She is up on all these races.I can barley keep up with the big one myself.
It trust her judgment.She is our secret weapon.

[vpintheak]

Agree! Pathetic isn’t it?

[Uncle Chip]

but resigning the governorship was an act of political suicide.

YEP -- and as hard as I try to explain that away to conservatives here, they keep going back to it.

That might explain why she thinks that Akin's resignation is the right thing to do.It still follows her.

[rodguy911]

Problem is we don't need a single rogue candidate in Missouri jeopardizing the entire election by giving the left an issue.

they are just salivating to get anything that will document their BS that we are waging a war on women.This gives them a little ammo. Its a stretch but can we really afford it?

[DoctorBulldog]

Well, believe you me, Missourians are heck-a pissed at Obama. Yet, the latest Rasmussen polls have Obama showing a slight lead in Missouri. These are the same Rasmussen polls which show Akin way down after his legitimate rape comment.

It is obvious to many of us in Missouri that the Rasmussen polls have been skewed.

Since I trust Rasmussen more than any other pollster, the only other reasonable explanation is that those who were polled lied to the Rasmussen pollsters to A) Try to pressure Akin off the ticket so that one of the other two Primary Candidates could have a Mulligan, and B) Akin supporters lied about voting for Obama in order to spit in the face of the GOP establishment which has hung Akin out to dry.

Furthermore, I think you have been misled about Missouri voters.

I’ve watched every single election in Missouri for almost 50 years. When Conservative Missourians get peeved, they go out and vote in droves!

Because of Obama, they will be out in full force come November. Do you really think they are going to leave the Akin/McCaskill box unchecked?

Hell no!

Just my two-cents. Take it for what it’s worth.

Cheers

There is only one organization out there that hates and fears social conservatives more than the d&c.

And that’s the rnc.
