Too bad for those who don’t like it. He’s staying in the race.

His numbers tanked far more because his “friends” in the Gop-E spent the last week hacking, slicing and dicing their own man.

His comment was not nearly as damning as challenged McCain on his famous white night ride to washington to save the nation from economic collapse, only to come out of a meeting naked, supporting a tarp-type response, and looking really, really stupid.

But, his party didn’t give up on him.

Let’s see...47-37. That won’t be the first come from behind from a 10 point deficit in the history of political races. Let’s see. Akin gaining five means McCaskill going down by five among the decideds, and there’s a measley 16% undecided or other still up for grabs.

Unfortunately, of course, the election is going to be held tomorrow in Missouri on the 27th of August this year. So, we’ll know the winner on Tuesday. Really sad they’re doing it that way this year instead of waiting the 2 and a quarter months left until the rest of the nation votes.

“Too bad for those who don’t like it. He’s staying in the race.”
******************************************************************

At this point any true conservative in Missouri should plan on voting for Akin if he continues to foolishly stay in the race until November.

For those folks who wish to support Akin by donations and working for his campaign, have at it. He’s apparently in to stay and I hope he wins although he has damaged his chances.

For both those who support Akin and those who choose to not do so, there are an abundance of other DESERVING conservative Republican Senatorial candidates who are very deserving of our support. The ones that my family and I have chosen to support with our limited time and funds are:

Josh Mandel in Ohio,
Ted Cruz in Texas,
Rick Berg in North Dakota,
Jeff Flake in Arizona
Deb Fischer in Nebraska,
Richard Mourdock in Indiana
Denny Rehberg in Montana
Pete Hoekstra in Michigan

and, possibly:
George Allen in Virginia and others can be added to the list.

I think that all believers in our conservative principles will agree that this is a list of conservative Republicans very deserving of our support and well-wishes for victory in November.

We have significant political battles across the nation and need to remember those. Support these folks to the extent you can.

What is it the RINOs keep repeating in regard to mitt - "you go to war with the army you've got."

Well, here's a chance all those same yellow bellies here to demonstrate a little consistency.

His initial comment made people suspect he was an idiot.

His follow-up “clarification” confirmed it for most.

He has zero chance at winning the Missouri Senate seat and because of that has done considerable damage to the conservative cause he claims to support.

Ryan voted for TARP, same as McCain did.
Romney has said he would have voted for TARP.
