I’m not looking forward to it either, because it isn’t a good time to have a fight. Sadly sometimes we don’t get to pick the time when we fight.
I support Akin, even though I do not agree with what he said, and I also do not agree with his philoshpy on that issue. But at the same time, I appreciate his fighting spirit, I don’t like cowardice, I don’t like the political cannaibalism of the GOP.
Even though I am not 100% conservative on every single issue, I want my leaders to be conservative. I want my federal representaives to be conservative. I don’t want them backing down at the first sign of trouble.
So all that being said, I hope Akin wins.
I disagree. This is the perfect fight for those of us who have no stomach for fighting on Romney's behalf. Romney can turn left and chase the disaffected white liberal votes and the goofy fickle independents. He can have them. He will get neither money from me nor a vote in November. I cannot vote in Missouri, but I can import some cash and moral support. If the social conservatives can win this one for Akin, we can win it for anybody. It means we can run Sarah Palin in 2016 and get her elected. It means that we still have a voice in politics. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain from this fight.
Fight on Freepers.
