Todd Akin reaffirms he's staying in the Senate race
St. Louis Post-Dispatch ^ | 8/24/2012 | NICHOLAS J.C. PISTOR

Posted on 08/24/2012 2:53:44 PM PDT by JustSayNoToNannies

Embattled Senate candidate Todd Akin just told reporters in Chesterfield that he is staying in the Senate race against Democratic incumbent Claire McCaskill.

Akin repeated the kinds of statements he'd made previously to national media, asserting that he's never had the support of the Republican party establishment anyway. [...]

Buzz off Troll. Akin is the candidate. If you aren’t for him now, then you are for McCaskell.

So either back the conservative, shut the hell up, or get the hell off free republic.

“If Akin were to drop out, the GOP will lose that race anyway. No way they can get a candidate in there that can clean up the mess and win in two months.”

Yes, this is correct. The Republican Establishment sandbagged Sarah Palin, Sharon Angle, and Christine O’Donnell. All evidence seems to indicate they want to sink Rep. Akin too.

I’m not arguing intelligence is a factor in the Akin fiasco.

I think the barefoot inbred trailer-trash remark meant those who support this loon Akin.

I won’t disagree with him.

Its like any business, the military, ANy organization..... There is a chain of command that issues orders. The grunts follow those orders. That’s the way its always been and it works. I see no need to change it now. What? Got a problem with teamwork? Never played sports on a team? or were you the one they never picked because you threw and ran like a GURL? Akin is guilty of insubordination as well as general stupidity.

You, EP, have a disturbed sense of how a representative form of government works. Skipped history class much? The representatives owe their fealty to the electorate, *not* to any self-proclaimed lords. The very fact that some in the GOPe behave as if their commands usurp our representatives' responsibility to us is offensive. You may want a chain of command where the RNC or DNC snap their fingers and all elected officials hike to attention, but we don't. Our Founders fought a Revolutionary War to get out from under a thumb like that. Sell your commie crap somewhere else.

"- take a cell from anywhere in your body other than the reproductive organs and make a person out of it."

See the section on how to clone.

Note that the problems with human cloning are not insurmountable and if a human clone did exist, they would be an individual person.

"Society is unaffected by 40 million absent lives?"

It's more affected by the gazillions that weren't born, because women have simply refused to stay barefoot and pregnant. It's also affected by the closed borders and the gazillions that would otherwise be frolicing around la-di-da and producing all sorts of joyous fruits. If not for these population effects, blessed suffering would flourish and be enjoyed throughout the land.

A petri dish full of embryos is not a pool of people. The parents can choose one that they intend will become their child.

The cells in the following are also not people.

Skin cells to neurons

Abstract

"Recent reports demonstrate that somatic mouse cells can be directly converted to other mature cell types by using combined expression of defined factors. Here we show that the same strategy can be applied to human embryonic and postnatal fibroblasts. By overexpression of the transcription factors Ascl1, Brn2, and Myt1l, human fibroblasts were efficiently converted to functional neurons. We also demonstrate that the converted neurons can be directed toward distinct functional neurotransmitter phenotypes when the appropriate transcriptional cues are provided together with the three conversion factors. By combining expression of the three conversion factors with expression of two genes involved in dopamine neuron generation, Lmx1a and FoxA2, we could direct the phenotype of the converted cells toward dopaminergic neurons. Such subtype-specific induced neurons derived from human somatic cells could be valuable for disease modeling and cell replacement therapy."

No.

Winning is everything.

Victory over all.

Out of line? At least I understand ovulation.

Jim Robinson has indicated that he supports Akin.

Does your comment refer to him?

BTW between Akin and McCaskill, which candidate do you want to win in November?

If it isn't McCaskill, then should we number you among the barefoot inbred trailer-trash?

"So that's all that made the Nazis wrong: the superior firepower of those who disagreed?!"

No. the folks the nazis were killing off were sentient rational beings, not collections of cells not viable outside a mother, or machine. Also, there was no superior firepower. The industrial base of the Allied offensive was out of reach from nazi threat and the nazis started a 2 front war with insufficient protected industrial and logistic support.

Re: Y'all going to start forcing women at gunpoint to nurture their unwanted pregnancies?

"I prefer forcing those with medical training to not be accomplices to murder.

The word murder is inappropriate when the act amounts to effective contracetion. Also, folks deserve access to safe and competent medical services. A pregnent woman with an unwanted pregnancy has the right to make her own medical and procreative decisions, not bystanders.

What can I say?

Maybe I’m a Royalist at heart.

(.......hey....back in Germany there IS a title there in my family tree.)

Please, that hierarchy is the MODEL for any successful oprganization.

BTW, even George Washington didn’t put up with the “electorate” in Western PA that didn’t wanna pay their liquor taxes. Madison held evangelicals in contempt, and Sam Adams wanted all dissenters jailed.

It wasn’t my comment.

I was just clarifying because you mistook who that line was supposed to zing.

I disagree with JR however, that doesn’t mean I don’t respect him or are grateful for what he’s provided us here.

Do you really have a problem with reading comprehension?

They see it and don’t care. They’re locked in on a suicide mission, some holy war against the GOPe, Mormons and Mitt Romney.

You said you didn't disagree with it. That makes it your comment.

No, but you definitely have a problem with grammar.

I'm sure the class would be fascinated to hear your thesis on how Washington's suppression of the Whiskey Rebellion set the stage for the installation of a monarchical form of government within the new United States. No, on second thought, I'm pretty sure the class will see right through that horse-pucky and find it a complete waste of their time. Thanks anyway.
