This is now international news (in Denmark for sure and likely elsewhere).
It's gone far beyond your little state of Missouri.
Doesn't matter what he meant, what his intent was, and what other spin you attempt to put on it.
He was a fool. At this level it was an intolerable mistake that could destroy campaigns against Democrats nationwide. He's fundamentally unfit for the office and, fortunately, there's time to replace him. Of course, he appears to be another arrogant SOB who refuses to step aside for the good of the nation. It's all about him now. It's clear why McCaskill wanted to run against Akin.
“He’s fundamentally unfit for the office and, fortunately, there’s time to replace him. Of course, he appears to be another arrogant SOB who refuses to step aside for the good of the nation.”
Stupid moron. That is NOT you call to make. That call is for the citizens of Missouri to make, and NOBODY ELSE. IF he steps down like you idiots keep insisting. Then the GOPe get to pick his replacement......not the voters. There were two other candidates on the ticket in the primary. Neither are being mentioned by the GOPe to replace him.
This would be DIRECTLY circumventing the voters of Missouri. Your damned precious strategy is irrelevant. HIS FIRST CONCERN MUST BE MISSOURI. Now if the “average” (not party elite) were in large numbers, to call for him to step down...then he should consider it. UNTIL THEN....back off because it currently is a MISSOURI issue NOT ONE for you morons outside of this state.
BTW - I voted for Steelman based upon Palin’s endorsement. After she has joined the establishment chorus, I would not support her if I could revote. Let the PEOPLE OF MISSOURI decide what they want to do and when. You outsiders just shut up!
