“Give my post another try. If I’ve been welcome here for fourteen years, I don’t think Mr. Robinson will ban me over this.”

I wished the threads would show which thread number the responder is responding about. I was taking extreme exception to your continued denigration of Todd Akin just like sakic continues to do. It serves no purpose but to do the MSMs attack job on future conservative candidates like they did last week to Rubio. It really doesn’t matter that Akin was not “electable.” What matters is that he was injustly attacked over a set up issue that was not his main focus. However, although not the best at defending his position, he had the guts to stick with it and not run away when ambushed by the press. Your bad mouthing him repeatedly on this forum was a disgraceful thing. Additionally, you failed to acknowledge that the voters of Missouri picked him to be their candidate in a primary. That is what I was deriding you about.

I will say I should not have said you should be off this forum. I have been looking over other times you have posted recently. You are not consistently obnoxious like “sakic” is and I enjoyed your rebut of him.

However, realize that being right on an issue (especially moral ones) is more ultimately important than being electable. You have written on the importance of being ready to take hard stands for a time, knowing the candidate will not be elected, for the long term good. A little pain now and losing a battle, but having a better chance of winning the war - and for the right reasons.

We’ll have to agree to disagree about that. The avalanche of Leftists who are killing our country are in office because they DO care about electability, and they are darned good at it.

I think throwing away that Senate seat was a terrible error.

Thanks for letting me stay :-)
