Yeah, I'm a disgruntled Steelman supporter because thanks to a bone-headed candidate I'm stuck with McCaskill for another term. That would disgruntle anyone.
...but there’s no need to rip down a good man because he made a mistake.
That's like saying there's no need to rip Romney because he made a mistake. Both men took winnable races and pissed them away. If that isn't worthy of ripping then what is?
Well, you have a right to be upset. I’m just taking issue with your conclusions about Akin and McCaskill’s having supernatural abilities. If Akin had made his comments BEFORE the primary, I’d have likely switched candidate endorsements or remained neutral. I still put him in the same camp as Mourdock in Indiana. They were on track to winning and they committed unfortunate gaffes that cost them.
Unfortunately, you well know that our candidates are held to ludicrously high standards that Jesus would have a difficult time meeting. Conversely, the Democrats nominate liars, degenerates and frauds and nobody bats an eyelash. I thought it was terrible that our side threw Akin and Mourdock both under the bus after they uttered some un-PC comments.
As for Willard, I have no problem with anyone ascribing the worst possible motives to him. He is a Socialist, a fraud, a phony, a liar, and a ringer and had no intention of doing anything else than keeping a Conservative from being nominated and similarly making sure Zero got his second term (pretty much playing the same part McCain did in 2008). I rang the bell about that fraud for six years running, since I knew him very well and his goals, and he proved out everything that I said and then some.
