It’s no “rino trick” . What Akin and Murdock said was so misogynistic, factually wrong and just so damn self inflicted they’ll go down in history.
Akin especially should be pissed on. He had a chance to be a patriot and step down for the good of conservatism and the pro-life movement to save the seat. Instead he and his grasping wife put themselves over the good of the country that when we have boys in Afghanistan putting their lives on the line. What a couple of freaks.
There is nothing wrong with noting bad senate candidates, it happens every election, but history was made by running the most disastrous politically, and ideologically unqualified, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE in modern republican history, probably forever considering that Romney was to the left of almost all democrat presidents on so many issues, even to the left of Obama on homosexual issues for instance.
A man whose entire political history was the same story of trying to force a square, inappropriate man, into a round political hole, Mitt Romney has never belonged in republican politics, or politics at all, yet through brute force and 20 years of record campaign spending, he became the most radically left-wing, anti-conservative, candidate in GOP history.
You have been here during the entire 7 years of his push to become the nominee, and you know how perfectly correct the conservatives here were about what would happen if the pro-abortion, Reagan hating Governor of Massachusetts, the “white Obama”, father of Obamacare and gay marriage attained the nomination.
It happened, his effect was turn the 1980 election into the 2008 election, except without the excitement of Palin, Romney lost the election that republicans could not lose, because he was Mitt Romney, the failed, one term governor of Massachusetts who’s mentor was William Weld.
The ticket did not even carry their home states.
The ticket was weak, weak, weak, so weak that it couldn’t win an election that was impossible to lose.
