It has become obvious to me in recent years how ignorant some of our “elected” leaders are really oblivious to real politics. Huckabee, GW Bush, Akin and Biden are great examples. They need to listen to their handlers and otherwise keep their yap shut.
Who do you want, Missouri voters?
Akin - who said somethign stupid...
Or McCaskil who IS stupid, and is also an obama-ass-kissing liberal baby merder supporting democrap who will uphold Obamacare and more spending into oblivion?
McKaskills staffers must have been near oragsmic when they ran to tell her “OMG GUESS WHAT AKIN JUST SAID?!?!?”
A kinship of achin’.
Hey Huuuk, you’re as big an idiot as Akin... It ain’t about the “elites” trying to drum a good man out of the party... it’s about that fool sucking all the air out of the room. No one person has the right to diminish the discussion that was front and center... now everyones eyes on him. Know why?... because he was unwisely trying to sound wise regarding something he obviously has no wisdom to discuss and as a result has shown himself to be a fool. Now if you make me vote for him, I have no choice cause I ain’t gunna vote for the mother of Robert Shaw. But for you to try to make this about the “big wigs’ you’re simply and Ass (0) and frankly make me understand why some folks dislike christian conservatives, of which I am a part.
I agree that a third party candidate is a disaster waiting to happen (since it would make an Akin victory absolutely impossible instead of just unlikely). Beyond that, Huckabee’s totally off-base and sort of a moron.
Huckster is one deranged loon.

Akin has become the third rail. As long as he is still running, the MSM will ensure that REPUB candidates are zapped everyday in every way.
Huckabee must be nuts, he didn’t misspeak, he’s a ‘Mr Know-it-all’ whose going to argue he’s right even when he’s wrong and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. No thanks.
I’ve never actually “hated” Huckabee. In fact, I even gave him my vote in the 2008 primary (albeit it was really an anti-McCain ‘protest’ vote, as McCain already had it wrapped up by the time of my state’s primaries). But over and over, I’m not impressed with Huckabee’s judgment. From his open-arms, welcome-mat policy towards illegals in his state, to his granting clemency of violent inmates because they claim they found ‘Jesus,’ to even his horrid endorsement of Dewhurst over Cruz here in Texas... Huckabee is just not someone I’d trust in terms of judgment.
Squirrel meat rots the brain ... Huckabee is proof.
Now is the time for courage
Want to know why the Republican Party is in such trouble? I believe it comes down to one word: courage.
When Democrats misspeak, we make them vice president. When Republicans misspeak, Republicans are the first in line to throw them under the bus.
When Rep. Todd Akin stood for protecting all innocent human life in a recent interview, he used a word with more than one meaning. He used the word “legitimate” before the word “rape” to mean “real,” “forcible,” a tragic event that “really took place.” Anyone who doesn’t think false claims of rape can be made should check with Norma McCorvey, the “Roe” of Roe v. Wade. The infamous abortion case, based on her false rape claim, has resulted in the deaths of 55 million innocent human lives.
But because “legitimate” could also modify the word rape, some in the Republican Party are practically writing Willie Horton ads about it, pretending that the congressman is “pro-rape” and wants to let rapists out on furlough. This “interpretation” of the congressman’s words doesn’t resemble reality, and everyone knows it.
If Republicans love their country, they will quit using fiction to shoot their own and focus on the real enemies of life: Democrats Claire McCaskill and Barack Obama, who stand for legally sucking the brains out of half-born babies in a procedure called partial-birth abortion.
In America, we shouldn’t kill people for the crimes of their father. And in politics, we shouldn’t kill statesmen for a badly worded sound bite.
Thankfully, there are men and women of courage who stand with Rep. Akin,

Remember earlier in the year, when the left praised Huckabee as the great white hope to finally destroy conservative radio?
It’s becoming clear as crystal that the real reason Akin is being thrown under the bus is his stand against abortion.
Throw out the golden lizard and there is not one difference between the Southern Babtist and the Mormons. I wonder how long I will be kicked out for?
Mike Huckabee has always been a principled social conservative, and he is precisely right about an orchestrated attack on a pro-life candidate. The following paragraph, though, is an indication that Huckabee has realized that social conservatives are no longer welcome in the GOP. It is an astounding thing for a major republican leader to write with such obvious bitterness. You MUST read it:
Who ordered this "Code Red" on Akin? There were talking point memos sent from the National Republican Senatorial Committee suggesting language to urge Akin to drop out. Political consultants were ordered to stay away from Akin or lose future business with GOP committees. Operatives were recruited to set up a network of pastors to call Akin to urge him to get out. Money has changed hands to push him off the plank. It is disgraceful. From the spotlights of political offices and media perches, it may appear that the demand for Akin’s head is universal in the party. I assure you it is not. There is a vast, but mostly quiet army of people who have an innate sense of fairness and don't like to see a fellow political pilgrim bullied. If Todd Akin loses the Senate seat, I will not blame Todd Akin. He made his mistake, but was man enough to admit it and apologize. I'm waiting for the apology from whoever the genius was on the high pedestals of our party who thought it wise to not only shoot our wounded, but run over him with tanks and trucks and then feed his body to the liberal wolves. It wasn't just Todd Akin that was treated with contempt by the thinly veiled attack on Todd Akin. It was all the people who have faithfully knocked doors, made calls, and made sacrificial contributions to elect Republicans because we thought we were welcome in the party. Todd Akin owned his mistake. Who will step up and admit the effort being made to discredit Akin and apologize for the sleazy way it's been handled?
The Akin Assault by the GOP is not just another indication that social conservatives are unwelcome in the Republican Party. It is an attack designed to destroy any voice they might have.
If we don't wake up, we will be having in America Christians tried for "hate speech" in very short order.
Sorry Mike, you’re wrong on this one.
So is Todd.
And I am part of your “base” demographically.
The key word from Huck being “self-inflicted.”
Take a (tax) Hike, Mike!
I bet you're right. Huckabee is very important among the Evangelicals, and I was waiting for him to say something because I thought Rep. Elmer Gantry (aka Akin) would do whatever he said.
But I think Huckabee has messed it up again.
