BREAKING: McCaskill up 10 pts over Akin in Missouri Poll
Ace of Spades ^ | 08/23/2012 | CAC

Posted on 08/23/2012 7:07:50 AM PDT by nhwingut

Rasmussen will be releasing a poll this morning showing Akin costing us dearly in Missouri: McCaskill 48% Akin 38%.

Time to pack it up and stop screwing us, big guy.

>> Clod Akin meet ... Christine O'Donnell, Sharron Angle, Ken Buck, Joe Miller .... Eh, I'd put Katherine Harris in there...probably the worst conservative fantasy candidate derangement syndrome I've ever seen surrounding her. <<

I was on FR when Harris' supporters were militantly adamant that she MUST be the nominee when poll after poll showed she had absolutely toxic levels of "unfavorable" ratings and would get crushed by Nelson. I agree her adoring fans were probably the most delusional posters I've ever met here, kinda like people who think the Cubs will win the World Series year after year.

The sad thing is, if Akins hangs around until November and his fans continue to tell us how it's all "establishment RINOs" standing in the way of his "victory", they'll be up with the Harris groupies.

It’s like the Republican leadership are Democrats, liberals,
secularists and atheists. They won’t stop condemning Akin. Akin is 100% for God, God will bring a good out of this unjust attack.

Right on... sad... isn’t it? GOP hierarchy is pretty much infiltrated by the DU and yet followers are still enthralled.

Akin also believes that a woman's reproductive system shuts down during rape.

Does God approve?

I can’t understand the attack on Akin, a good man, while we have the record of the two men running for President.

I thought this Scripture applied to further down the road in
these end of times after God’s great act of mercy. Approval of evil, of the obvious lie, keeps happening now.

2 Thessalonians 2:10-11
And in all seduction of iniquity to them that perish; because they receive not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. Therefore God shall send them the operation of error, to believe lying:

[10] GOD SHALL SEND: That is God shall suffer them to be deceived by lying wonders, and false miracles, in punishment of their not entertaining the love of truth.

[11] That all may be judged who have not believed the truth, but have consented to iniquity.

Akin corrected what he meant to say, that’s not enough for
you? Do not look at what’s really wrong. The horrid
actions against the unborn, the approval and increase of
abortion by Romney and BHO.

Hey... following on the heels of this get out Akin effort.... next week at the GOP convention, conservatives need to come out and let the world know how deficient Romney is (compile each and every quote and misstatement... along with his true beliefs which are bad enough) and he should be “replaced” by someone more palatable to conservatives and the Tea Party.... sounds good to me!!!! If it works for Missouri then it should work for the rest of the country.

Absolutely, in fact, let's make a trade. We'll agree to dump Akin if they agree to dump Romney. Polls show Romney's selfish desire to not release his tax returns is keeping his poll numbers down. They also show he has historically record high unfavorable ratings for a candidate at this point in time. His candidacy was funded by the same liberal Wall Street investors that backed Obama. The liberals have set him up as an unelectable ringer to hand Obama a certain victory. The media and the Democrats are bashing him non-stop with something like 90% negative coverage, and they won't stop until the election is over. So we need to replace Romney now before it's too late. Too much is at stake in this election.

Anybody that plans on going to heaven one day better not vote for the Democrat. If they want to burn in hell, by all means

Nice. I'm defending a staunch conservative in a race he can still win if the GOP would get it "asses in line" and you are handing out zingers trying to bury him. I like the Kook-Aid cartoon though. It's cute and apropos for the position you hold, so I accept it with a smile. My shoulders are broad and I can carry it until November. But if Akin wins, I'd appreciate a "mea culpa" from you.

OK, then we’re stuck with Akin. So, he needs state where he got this idea of why he believed that you can’t get pregnant from forcible rape and say he made a mistake like any other human being. Then he needs to say that sometimes when you are morally outraged, such as when so many children are killed in the womb, that you may make statements that are morally outrageous.

Christians, offer a prayer right NOW for Akin’s strength of
faith, that he has the courage to stay in the race.

This could’ve been such an easy pickup. Once again the Stupid Party versus the Evil Party.

Yep. This is Nevada 2010 all over again.

Akin seemed encouraged by that garbage poll put out earlier in the week showing him up by 1 (with a ridiculous +9 Republican sample), so I wonder what he thinks of this one showing him down by 10?

He seems delusional. He’ll probably still be in denial when the race is called for McCaskill as soon as the first vote tallies come in on election night.

The founder of this site, Jim Robinson, is pro-Akin.

If you are anti-Akin, you are anti-Free Republic.

His voting record dosent mean crap IF HE ISNT THERE TO VOTE!!

If you are after results, Akin is a disaster. If you are concerned with feeling morally superior, and preening about you superiority over those who think that elections have something to do with selecting officials who pass laws and set public policy, then Akin is your guy.

Somewhat disappointed that so many here (even from MO) do not understand the procedure to get his name off the ballot. I've already posted so many times my fingers are sore... If he so chooses (to remove his name from the ballot) he will ultimately be subject to the whims of SOS Ms. Robin Carnahan. And THAT will not be pretty! ”

In case anyone wonders what the PCA reference means, here are two posts on what it means that Akin is a conservative, a graduate of Covenant Theological Seminary, and an elder in the Presbyterian Church in America:

Todd Akin is a PCA member and Covenant Seminary graduate

Being a Pastor and Speaking Out in Today’s Culture
By Dr. Michael Milton, Chancellor, Reformed Theological Seminary
http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-religion/2922254/posts

Personally, I'm a member of an even more conservative denomination, the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church. The PCA is too broadly evangelical for me, but I'm the first one to say that both of our denominations have their problems.

To prove that Democrats can get some things right, go read Senator Webb's work on the Scots-Irish role on the settlement of the American frontier. One could make a good argument that Scottish blood makes Old School Presbyterians a pretty ornery bunch, and that's Webb's view. I personally think it has much more to do with a very high view of the role of the Old Testament that is shared by Calvinists whether they're Scots Presbyterians, English Puritans, Dutch Reformed, Swiss Reformed, Hungarian Reformed, Korean Presbyterians, or any of the other ethnic groups which have come to have large percentages of Calvinists either now or at some point in their history.

Too bad the Missouri Presbytery isn't one of the hard-core conservative presbyteries in the PCA. Akin might generate a lot of visitors to PCA churches when people realize the PCA is the Presbyterian equivalent of the Southern Baptist Convention -- a strongly conservative evangelical denomination that generally sticks to its guns about core beliefs. If he wins this election, I hope the PCA asks him to lead a seminar on Christian involvement in politics at the 2013 General Assembly, with all the media attention that will generate. Given the nonsense being done by the wacko liberals in the PC(USA), conservative Calvinists need some publicity, and Akin has overnight become the best-known Reformed political figure in the United States. Now we just need to be known for not eating baked feet for breakfast.

Fortunately most Calvinists are far more articulate than Akin was last weekend.

MAYBE he can still win, MAYBE. I wouldn’t bank on it.

If replaced will WILL win cause McCrapskull is unpopular. So try to understand where Billyboy is coming from. Akin is a selfish tool for staying in.

The people calling for his head the loudest are the ones who would not have voted for him anyway. This is another media lynching complete with useful village idiots in the mob carrying torches for the left...
