Then you would be both presumptuous and wrong. I did my homework; but, held off commenting because I thought it prudent to let the people of MO solve this themselves. What now has me really pissed off is I see so many negative posts regarding Akin and his family coming from TX, CA, VA, etc ...very few similar posts from MO.
I am well aware of the fact that MO has an open primary and of the allegations that Dems crossed over to pick the weakest candidate. That's an allegation which may or may not be true. You have no proof of that any more than anyone has proof that it didn't happen that way. The bottom line is that at this point it's irrelevant ...if the system is bad then change it before the next election ...oops, you can't do that because you live in KS!
By your standard I should be screaming, ranting, raving and throwing a fit about Romney ...the GOP-e engineered the primary here in VA so that we could only choose between Romney and Ron Paul ...Newt and Gov Perry were kept off the ballot on technicalities and no write-in candidates were allowed. VA voters were effectively disenfranchised by the Romneyites and there will be scores to settle when this election is over ...but for now the most important thing is to defeat Obama and not leave our troops in the field and our foreign policy in tatters under the governance of the mendacious SOB who currently occupies the oval office ...when he's not out fund raising. Therefore, I will hold my nose, as I did for McCain and Dole and vote the ticket.
Well, that’s wonderful. Send me a note after the election. If Akin wins, I will be more than happy to make a public apology.
