ABA, Anybody but Akin.

And Rove wants to take him out. Jokingly, of course, but it’s also said serious in the context of taking Akin out in a political sense.

Hope those folks out there don’t confuse the intent.

Rove is as much of an arrogant *ss as is Akin.

I’ve read some very vile comments from freepers who claim to be Christians and claim that because of what Akin said that they “HATE him more than they hate anyone.”

Now we have Rove literally calling for his head on a platter.

The democrats may try to milk Akin’s comments for all they are worth. If I were Akin I would use the comments in my own ads admitting to my mistake and pointing out that the election is not about stupid off the cuff remarks and gotcha soundbites, but about the stupid long term destructive policies that Claire McCaskell has voted for and promoted.

The best way to diffuse a mistake is to accept it and then turn it around. Something like “Really is this race about something stupid I said or is it about the stupid policies of the democrats that have led our nation into this abyss? Which of these issues will affect your future and that the future of your children? My remarks, or McCaskell’s bankrupt policies?”

I would also use Rove’s remarks in my commercials to show that I am an independently minded conservative and not beholden to the GOP-E and/or the Democrats who have collectively brought our nation to the brink of financial ruin.

Rove used the term 'murder' ~ hardly a joke.

We have these laws for a very good reason ~ to lock 'em up and throw away the key.
