From the aericle:
“Putnam says the reason the Republican officials wanted him out of the race had nothing to do with abortion. Rather, he said, Akin voted as a member of Congress against several Bush Administration big government proposals, has a record of opposing “the party establishment,” and figures to be a Tea Party senator in Washington, D.C. if he wins the Senate race against Democrat Claire McCaskill.”
“Putnam says he thinks the GOP establishment doesn’t want any more independent voices in the Senate Republican Caucus. ‘I look at the role of the Tea Party senators who have come along the last couple years. They have shifted the balance away from the more moderate Republican establishment. I have to wonder how afraid they are to elect more of these Tea Party types,’ he said.”
Which is exactly what I said on day one.
I hope Akin wins HUGE. Missouri, please make it so!
BTW, I still want Karl Rove brought up on federal charges for encouraging the murder of Representative Akin.
“I hope Akin wins HUGE. Missouri, please make it so!”
I am a Missouri resident and both my wife and I plan to vote for Akin for U.S. Senator from Missouri. Plus, we have donated to his campaign.
I hope other SOCONs and balanced conservatives that aren’t dumb sheep following the GOPe will join us.
