From churches with large congregations. Influential Churches. Mostly Baptists. Who believe in the "SHOW ME" principle. That they could get these 120 leaders to sign on means quite a bit. It is no easy task to get them to support a politician, especially in this particular situation.
I don't discard politicians like trash just because of one media-twisted response to a question. At least he was honest, even if some say he's not EXACTLY correct.
OUT WITH MRS. OBAMACARE !!!!
Exactly where was that in his comments ?
He is dying on a hill with zero strategic value just to watch the invading army rape and pillage the people while he gasps his last political breath.
Perhaps what Akin said after the ALLEGED GAFFE is why people continue to support him and would rather have him than McCaskill.
Maybe they think the truth is worth sticking with. Maybe they think one questionable statistic is not enough to invalidate the record, and conviction of Akin.
Of course, If you prefer we could go with some paper tiger with a clean (and unproven) track record who will get eaten up and spit out by the corruption in the system.
Did you have someone in mind ?
I support Akin too.
Even though I don’t agree with him.
I have never seen a greater collection of cowards, whiners, babies, if I can’t have it all at once, then I don’t want any ever, self centered, part of the problem, most definitely not part of the solution so-called conservatives as I have seen here on this website.
I am sickened to my stomach. You deserve to live in a communist country. I hope your children remember to thank you when they are scrounging for roaches to eat like the Noth Koreans.

Unfortunately, that is what Akin and his son will be doing after his campaign goes down to an ignoble defeat in November. This is all very sad. Just saying...
Used to be a dem, no longer. I was when I started at FR in 04. Hence the site handle.
The only organization that hates socons more than the dems is the gop. How do you explain the gop going code red on Todd Akin? The dems were going to use the Akin gaffe regardless of whether he stayed in or got out. How did it benefit the long term interests of socons to have the gop attack him as well?
Every now and then the mask slips from the gop and you get to see what they really think. A conservative political party it isn’t.
>Did you have someone in mind ?
Right now a warm bodied R to get the majority of votes to repeal zerocare is more important than this “rape exclusion” nonsense.
Yes he can. Missourians do not like outsiders, especially those who think that homosexuals should be Boy Scout troop leaders, telling them what to do.
Well atleast they will be doing it after the battle rather than before it as opposed to the so many lilly-livered GOPe whiners down in Tampa.
YEP and I will post it again:
After what the Romney camp pulled today in Tampa a lot of people got a wake up call though some are still stuck on stupid. Riebus's statement today puts to rest the nonsense we heard all week about him not being able to beat McCaskill. The Romney GOP don't want him to win and never did. They would rather have McCaskill in the Senate.
Did I make myself clear.
Akin said he was in the fight through November.
That will be the last we’ll hear from him.
Romney is good enough for you, but Akin is a pariah? Is that it? Is that where you stand?
Outstanding stuff, P-M. It should be used as the basis of a Freeper Editorial.
Too many conservatives have abandoned all perspective.
I wish Akin would have exited the race, not because I thought he was a bad person but because I thought he destroyed his chances of winning with the statement he made. Yes, that is unfair and it wouldn’t happen to a Dem, but its the world we live in. However, the fact that I wish we had another candidate does not mean that I think Akin is some monster or that he isn’t a good, God-fearing person who would do a good job IF he got in. I would support him and vote for him if I lived in MO. I still think he’s going to lose and people are living in a fantasyland if they think he can somehow win. And when he does lose, its not going to be because the “GOP Establishement” didn’t back him, its going to be because of his gaffes.
got a problem with that? no. but this story lasting more than a week seems a bit much. could he be milking it for dollars.
Yeah, he's the candidate, but a real loser.
Oh, and tsk, tsk -- is "horseshit" allowed around here? If it is, I can think of plenty of ways to use it on this thread.
120 ways to use it, to be exact.
And if the majority of Americans believe like you, that all those things are hunky dorey, then why should God not give us the leaders we deserve? Why would God allow us to have leaders who bowed to Him when we want leaders who bow to political correctness?
So then why do yo keep pushing Romney?
Two things about ABOs who claim they’ll hold Romney’s feet to the fire and win back the party after the election:
1. They are not effectively holding his feet to the fire: ....in just the past week he’s come out for Romneycare again and also for a “health” exception in allowing abortions.
2. IF ROMNEY WINS: ...He will be the head of the party, his METHODS will be lauded as effective, he will install the leaders, and he will set the agenda.
IF ROMNEY LOSES: He and his will be shown to be losers, his methods will be proven totally illegitimate, the party will be in turmoil, the leadership will be shakey and defeatable.
Which scenario will provide the best opportunity for conservatives to change the power structure?
Which scenario will entrench liberal republicanism for decades?
It’s that simple.
Don't believe me? Visit the MO SOS site. Explains it in great detail. Can't believe we are still debating what he said. Ridiculous. It doesn't matter! Akin and Akin alone can petition the court to remove his name from the ballot. He will not do so.Will I eat crow? Well, I've already said if Akin pulls the pin (petitions the court)I'll donate $100 to FR.
But even if Akin petitions the court to remove his name? Guess what? It ain't over then!!!
What sets people apart are those who CONFESS to their mistakes, ask forgiveness and try to repair any damage done.
As a Christian, the Lord asks us to forgive those who trespass against us, just as He does for us.
