Gotta be up before you can fall down. The GOP sux.

Not sure which Akin thread to respond in.

But yes, when you have an issue that Rove, Rush, Palin, Levin, Hannity and Romney all agree on, ie that Akin needs to step down, then I would say there really isn’t a debate.

His most frustrating comment was the one where he talked about the voters of Missouri wanting him there. Yeah, maybe 30 percent of R primary voters voted for you plus another 6 percent from Dem mischief makers. A real mandate for Todd.

If Todd really thinks the voters want him, then have them re-run the primary post this week of stupidity. He’d lose and lose badly.

The American Spectator has an story ridiculing the Republican Party for being too politically correct towards Aiken. I am glad someone agrees with my views. The uninformed posts to rants are making this much worse to unseat the woman.

No he’s not. Even without MO the GOP is going to pick up 4-8 Senate seats

It is utterly pathetic how easily the GOP/Conservative movement falls for these Democrat Propaganda machine tactics of diversion and distraction

[Tennessee Nana]

If drama queen Willard and his Giddy Ship LolliGOP are so fragile in their hold on reality that one insignaificant Republican US Senate candidate interjecting a little truth into the abortion debate can upset their handcart, then they better just take some Prozac and drop out of the race...

That way the emotional anxiety will all go away...

[Free Vulcan]

Akin is a dumbarse and should drop out just because of his ability to shoot himself in the foot repeatedly.

Nonetheless, though my fellow Freepers are generally spot bang on the issues, too many of you are political morons. The fact he is only down 10% after this and McGaskill is under 50% is in political terms near miraculous.

If Akin gets smart he could win this.

I like this writer, she puts the Akin situation in it's proper perspective, IMO.

Marybeth Hicks is a weekly columnist for the The Washington Times and an author and speaker on politics, media, parenting, and the culture.

jeez..give it a rest..let this story die

[Tzimisce]

Any Republican that has overwhelming backing by Democrats must suck...

[griswold3]

At least this takes the attention from Rep. Kerry Gauthier (D-MN) who was caught having sex at a rest stop with a 17 year old boy.
Dead girl / live boy - where have the standards gone?

What Akin did wasn’t half a stupid as the numerous things done by Romney and he’s hasn’t shown himself to be nearly as selfish as Romney. So why should we pile on Akin and fight to the death to elect Romney?

[editor-surveyor]

Selfish GOPe bringing Akin down with them.

There is no longer any question; the GOPe would rather bring the whole country down rather than let conservatives win.

[Uncle Chip]

Wow -- one man using the word "legitimate" bringing down the whole party. Who would have thought he had that much power.

I guess then if the party is successful in November then he will also get credit for raising it up from the ashes -- right???

I had the TV on in the store.The woman laugh at him.Get it Him.I counseled a raped woman.I could see she had a cast on her arm and a healing black eye and was crying.She was pregnant. She was walking in to have an abortion with her best friend. Her best friend came out later and said she changed her mind.Wanna see life and death-stand outside an abortion chamber.

[fortheDeclaration]

I guess Republicans are no longer allowed to make the wrong choice in words, they must immediately step down.
