Mark is wrong but then again he was soft on the FRC shooting too. Is this the new Romney GOP? When someone shoots themselves in the foot you don’t start shooting at them. The people squarely to blame for blowing this out of proportion is the GOP leadership which if they were putting the party first would resign and let someone better and more focused take us into NOV. The same crowd who was pushing Romney at any cost were the ones that started this disgusting pile on. Some of us will not forget.

blowing this out of proportion

You think what Akin said is being blown out of proportion????

I'm beginning to think all politicians are pieces of dirt. I used to think only 90% of them were.

There is nothing wise or principled in nominating a person who can not get elected. Examples:

Joe Miller in AK
Hoffman in NY-23
Sharron Angle in NV
Christine O’Donell in DE
Buck in CO
JD Hayworth in AZ
George Allen in VA

All folks above are good conservatives, pro-lifers, and decent people. But they all lost because they are lousy
politicians. Nominating has cost us seats in congress and
dumping of Obamacare on the country. We do not need to add
Mr Akin to that list.

GOP can go to court and have him removed. It is never too
late. Sarah Palin is talking about a 3rd party run in MO
to defeat McCaskill.

When was the last time a rat President or rat Presidential candidate asked a rat to drop his senatorial campaign against a weak republican candidate? Never.

If Mitt's demand to drop out isn't self-immolation by pubbies, it represents continuing GOP-E efforts to knock off conservatives. The GOP-E is happy to accept crumbs off the rat table. We are not.
