How Dare He??!!
What does he think he's doing? Standing on some principles? This is about the party!! We don't have any place for people with principles!! Get him out!!!!!!
Hope you enjoy Obamacare for the remainder of your life.
If Akin stays and Dems hold the Senate, every pro-abortion provision buried in Obamacare will remain federal law forever.
This is no ordinary election. Unseating ANY incumbent president is serious, difficult and expensive business. The powers of the presidency are tremendous. Obama still has the Rose Garden, and he is not going down without a bitter fight.
Akin spent six terms in Congress and was backed by the missouri GOP for the Senate. He's as "Establishment" as it gets. And, the Tea Party Express has already called on him to withdraw.
You can paint this as a fight against the "GOP Leadership" all you want, but he brought this on himself, and only his stubborn hubris (and Huckabee's money) are keeping him from doing the honorable thing.
We have no place for morons who in their zeal will bring down the house.
