I’m sure they’re working on a story as we speak tying the hurricane heading towards Florida to Akin as well. We wait with baited breath.
Oh sure I am going to vote for Obama now because what Akin said but before he said it I was for Romney. Yeah thats the ticket.
a 1 point lead in a poll isnt “handing Missouri” to anyone— especially with 70+ days before the actual vote.
‘Weekly Standard’...it figures.
Stay calm, everyone. The radical marxists with their death threats against his family and staff will succeed in making Akin a sympathetic character.
Akin “legitimate rape” scandal
There is a scandal? What is the scandal about? Did he rape someone?
Many of the supporters of Akin (outside of Missouri) are part of an anti-GOPe group who feel so disenfranchised that their unelectable candidate did not get the nomination that they are willing to accept Obama's infanticide to teach the republican party a lesson. For them, the ends justify the means.
Their goal has been to see to it that Obama win in 2012 for the sole purpose of being able to say "See we told you so".
The normal anti-GOPe crowd (which I am a part of) has had the goal of electing true conservatives to both Houses of Congress, taking control and making sure that the RINO Romney cannot push forward any of his liberal agenda.
Unfortunately, Akin and his ilk are destroying all of those plans to stop socialism and abortion on demand.
It's no coincidence that Akin was (and probably still is) funded by the pro-abortionist crowd. Like Akin supporters, the end jusitifies the means. And the means is a conservative defeat and the re-election of Barack Hussein Obama.
Akin may lose the senate race but I just don’t see Romney losing the presidential race in Missouri. He’s just too unpopular.
The ABR’s have a new hero in Akin and are doing their deeds to give obama 4 more years through him.
I blame Gomer Huckleberry even more than I do Todd Aiken.
All of this is crap. People are voting their pocketbook. The whole nation has become numb to such gaffes as that after over 3 years of Joe Biden.
If Romney’s message is so fragile that he can lose based on one sentence by an obscure Senate candidate then we have much bigger problems.
Here’s an idea. How about the Republican establishment and now Consersative pundits SHUT UP. If Missouri conservatives want a new candidate, let them ask for one.
First of all there are “non-legit” rapes....accusations.....i.e. Tawana Brawley.
Second....I suspect Akin is just like most men....he has no knowledge of how, what or why the female body works the way it does. If his wife or daughter did start to talk to him about that subject he probably shut them down with a “whoa, whoa..na na na, not listening....don’t want to know about all that!” And because he is clueless, he should just zip it. Instead, he, like a lot of men, have to keep talking so everybody thinks he’s so smart. Akin, I’m not exactly sure what you were trying to say, next time keep your mouth shut and appear intelligent instead of opening it and removing all doubt! Chaps my ass that now this is going to be used to it’s full advantage by the Democrats.
LoL BS. It would be good if Obama thinks he has a chance and thereby spends his OBot cash in Missouri. It's a sink hole for Obama, but yes go for it Obama.
Recent voting over the last few years has Missourians largely leaning conservative, from their repudiation of Obamacare to right to carry.
O will take the two big urban zones(which are quickly de-populating due to murder and flight), but the wooded countryside and the burbs will counter them.
Namby pamby hand wringing Chicken Littles who are public moaning and going woe is me what are we going to do about Todd Akin because little Todd threatens Humpty Dumpty and if Mittens fall we will never be able to put him back together again.
If Mittens be so weak to have his election chances squashed by a stupid political hack nobody like Todd Akins, then anyone with a brain would have to question the character and competency of the Mittens campaign instead of Todd Aiken who is doing what any political hack would do which is put himself above his party or the country.
Todd Aiken is simply a lifetime in office guy who ain't had a real job since 1988, and he is simply one senatorial candidate from Missouri which may be in the center of the country but is NOT the center of the political universe, although the Democrats would like to make Todd Aiken the center of the political universe and screaming hysterical loons like Crazy Annie Coulter and Sean Hannity, the Weekly Standard, and Team Mittens have certainly aided and abetted the Dems in a making Aiken a media mountain out of a Missouri molehill.
