my side? I have a side?
How about this:
Akin is the nominee and we should support him no matter what because winning is more important than ideological purity at this point?
Does that sound familiar? Or maybe this only applies when RINO’s stuff their candidate down our throats? How come the RINO’s never follow their own advice for conservatives??
My side is not any particular Senator, but Republican control of the Senate. At this point, maybe Akin is the best way to go in MO. Or maybe a conservative write-in candidate would be the more likely path for a Republican pick-up. My main point is that we have to think strategically abut how to gain control of the branch of government that can either restrain Obama or - if we win the Presidency - implement a freedom agenda.
But if we’re motivated by great injustices, e.g., Karl Rove said something offensive, the MSM reacts differently to idiot Republicans than it does to idiot Democrats, etc., we take our eyes off the ball.
And Akin is not just a non-entity, he’s also a jerk for not getting out of the way, because any other Republican with a non-flat-line EEG can win this thing easily. He’s the one who created this dilemma, not Karl Rove or the MSM.
Over & out. There’s still plenty of weekend left.
great point in #74.
...he also prevented us taking the Senate in 2010.
otherwise, Obamacare would never have passed in the first place.
