The seat is what is important. At any other time, I might agree with you that “yeah, the libs stand by their own, We should too!”, but there has NEVER been a more important time. Obama is destroying this country and Clair McRatSkull is helping him. Now, maybe Akin can still win on the hyper-partisanship alone (as the latest polls indicate he isn’t falling behind), but is it worth the risk at this stage in the game? Sometimes, people have to take one for the team. I wish Akin hadn’t said this, but if he stays in, McCatSkull rises from the dead and may win. Is that a risk we can take knowing what is at stake?
But I will guarantee this. The more hypocritical putznosed RINO Republicans make demands of the Missouri political process, the more the grassroots in Missouri will react and give them just what they don't want, and the GOP will have only itself to blame. Take that for what it is worth.
