Am I wrong in that Akin enjoyed the backing of the Missouri GOP in running for the seat? He was the “GOPe”! How can you serve six terms in Congress and not be “Establishment”?
Akin got on very well with the GOP, right up until his self-inflicted wound.
This is outright false
Most of the endorsements in the primary went to Steelman...Palin’s “Establishment” candidate. Most of the Missouri GOP supported her. Note that she came in third
Brunner got the endorsement from the Chamber of Commerce, which is pro-Amnesty. Akin definitely did not get such an endorsement.
Akin mainly got support from some pro-life US House members (Steve King-Iowa, most notably). None of the GOP-E supported Akin in the primary....which obviously tells one with at least a 2-digit IQ that Akin is not being attacked for his comment, but for his conservatism
Now the PhonyCons have to resort to falsehoods. The Saul Alinsky playbook
Sarah Palin is now “Establishment”? How did I miss that?
