This state is almost evenly split among liberals, republicans/conservatives and those Frank Luntz ‘independents’. Old Claire is touting her voting record as making her #50 in a club of 100... She is attempting to deceive the Missouri voters that she is in the middle and ‘independent’. Haley Barbout needs to stay out of Missouri politics. He is NOT on the ballot.
“Haley Barbout needs to stay out of Missouri politics. He is NOT on the ballot.”
As should the rest of the GOP....especially the GOP establishment. Since it isn’t providing him support. IF you are GOP and not supporting Akin....then stay away from Missouri politics. We living here don’t care what you think. Support Akin or keep your opinions to yourself, because you are only creating bad blood with socical conservatives in Missouri and helping McRascal get reelected. Akin IS the candidate...that is NOT going to change. It is time for those dissing Akin to shut up. Unless you are a Missouri voter....you have a stake in this. Because the GOP, except for a handful of REAL conservatives, have defunded Akin....they really have NO say it what transpires....unless they think that reelecting McRascal should occur....because that is ALL their critisism helps accomplish.
Akin’s beef with the GOPe is valid and right on the mark. It just proves that the GOP (especially the GOPe) does not really want Social Conservatives to represent the party. SOCONs are supposed to vote GOP, but be quiet about their values and beliefs. It has always been that way....it is just becoming more obvious.
