Second Local Station Says Romney Camp Asked For No Akin Questions
We cannot afford to lose this seat. Why take a chance by backing the candidate that Claire McCaskill wants as her opponent?
If the stench of his rotting corpse is allowed to remain much longer the entire nation goes down in flames over the next 4.5 years!
It is pretty apparent by now that the push to get rid of Akin has nothing to do with his comments....it has all to do with his very conservative stance...which the Liberal Pro-Abort PhonyCons are really upset about
So, if the Pro-Aborts force out Akin...who will fill his slot? By kicking him out, do the PhonyCons really think that Pro-Life, Real Conservative voters are going to vote for the “GOP Insider Pick” Liberal?
Notice the same PhonyCons are not asking Romney to drop out after his Obama Birther comment. The same PhonyCons who whine about Birthers (and help Obama in the process) would have been asking for Akin to quit if he had made a “Birther” comment.
Meh. We didn’t really want the Senate anyway, right?
Yes, and let’s not forget that this hyperventilation was coming almost exclusively from Repubs. This would have not been an issue if Repub after Repub, all through monday hadn’t stepped up one after the other and taken a whack at Akin. Over one word... ONE WORD... What is going on here? Is the Repub leadership that beholden to the beltway punditry and Wall Street bankers that they are willing to sack a politician who stands on principle? Are they that skittish about core conservative beliefs? This is nuts...
Oops...too late....see 4:15 news conference...
I’m trying to figure out how “stupid” remarks by someone gets vblown way out of normal limits - can you say Trent Lott??? Everyone wanted that jackass one and it could not happen till he said the same kind of stupid things that ended hsi role as “leader int eh sentate” Maybe Akin has been saying stupi things and doing them as well but never got his kid of stage. Now he is no it stepped in it and has to go...repeat Trent Lott was a crony captialism fool. He is now a fool lobbist anyone want him running the senate again?
I lost a lot of vitality/spirit for the Republican party and it’s big honchos over how they handled the Akin situation. This goes for all the big ins and outs including Romney, Palin and many more. In my lifetime ,rather longtime, I have heard many unwise, uncalled for, crude, untrue, comments/stories that make a debate on what is rape and what is not rape pale as to what affects this Nation.
Diana West, thank you for standing up where so many others failed to. Maybe someday you'll tell us what you wrote in the sand.
I don't know if any of you heard Rush Limbaugh's comment on this, but if you didn't, I'll try as best as possible to reiterate 'about' what he said.
First, he said, -- and this is paraphrased and not verbatim -- "I don't want to join this mob."
Second, he tried to explain that Mr. Akin's comment -- and again, my version of what I believe he was saying -- was made in the zeal of topical influence; that there are those who discuss this topic in a more in depth and principled way. When one is involved in a cause, the ideals are pursued, and to exhaust the possible dimensions, it's not so difficult to go beyond the truth. In essence, in the zeal for every intellectual argument of the topic, a conjecture was made that was untrue and should have been discarded. But this doesn't mean that Mr. Akin is untrue, he was simply mistaken. Rush was though, unapologetic of Mr. Akins error.
Finally, Rush emphasized that though he did make a 'blunder,' his point was simply; in the tragedy of it all, the conceived child is certainly innocent.
But what I see in this, as well as other issues surfacing, is a judgmental spirit. What have we done with grace? What happened to the axiom, "blood is thicker than water?" Rush declared, "The Democrats circle the wagons for theirs and 'we' circle the firing squad."
What this tells me is that 'we' are becoming a party of Pharisees: clean on the outside, yet ravening inside. We throw 'our own' under the bus before it reaches the end of the assembly line because we're worried that we might be 'associated' with that --__________________fib.
If that is who we are, God help us. If this is what's going to turn the country around, a bunch of self-righteous, well-versed, well-groomed, finely tuned PRO-fessionals who disparage anyone who seems not quite 'up to their par,' I say we stand little chance.
Most of us understand that this election is beyond pivotal. This election is matter of inalienable rights or empirical servitude. If we lose this, our rights and freedom are gone - and the edges of the founding documents are smoldering as we speak (argue).
Don't you think that Almighty God might be looking for something different this time around? Maybe a little faith, a little belief, a little righteous indignation for magnitude of the cause?
Have we forgotten that our God is a righteous God and that our ultimate goal is a righteous goal, and that if we lay this before Him in faith and trust, HE WILL BRING IT TO PAST.
It will be a sorry country we have if we sail this ship loaded only with bright, talented, ambitious people and leave those who are 'not perfect' and others of lesser stature behind to serve Pharaoh.
Aren't we a throng in exodus of an increasing bondage? Are we going to leave behind those of our own 'cloth?'
What we need to hear is not, "send him to the lepers," but "man overboard, all engines stop."
When God hears that call, He will turn His face to us and - you think the last 200+ were great...!
