“We don’t care who the nominee is, other than get Akin out.”

Yep, it is Anybody but Akin. They don't care if it is McCaskell or some Olympia Snowe clone, they want him out of the picture, even if it means killing him.

ABA, Anybody but Akin.

And Rove wants to take him out. Jokingly, of course, but it’s also said serious in the context of taking Akin out in a political sense.

Hope those folks out there don’t confuse the intent.

Why did you ping me to that comment? ---- "We don't care who the nominee is, other than get Akin out."

I am really getting pissed off about being misrepresented here. Apparently my real position does not matter when you circle the wagons. Yes, I want Akin gone. Gone because of the damage he has done to the pro-life movement and damage across the country. He handed the pro-aborts a gift that will keep on giving until November.

I have made it frigging clear --- I want McCasKILL gone. How many times do you need to hear it? I want McCasKILL gone. I want McCasKILL gone. I want McCasKILL gone. My suggestion, which I even discussed on the phone with a member of the Central Committee, was that Akin be allowed to name his replacement --- a pro-life conservative. It is not anyone but Akin. It is an equally committed pro-life conservative who will beat McCasKILL. I don't know any truly pro-life conservative who would find acceptable a replacement who was not both conservative and strongly pro-life.

If you are going to try to pin crap on me for something I didn't say and don't believe, do not ping me. I loathe intellectual dishonesty; from the left as well as from some on our side.
