Nothing personal, but many of the Freepers on these threads seem to be acting like a bunch of jerks. Of course Akin is down, after a 24-7 attack on him by every talking head, every media source, every Democrat politician, and ALMOST EVERY so-called conservative.
Yet he’s right. Claire McCaskill, the incumbent, still can’t put together a majority, even after all this.
So, are all the so-called “conservatives” going to do the baby-killing Democrats’ work for them, and keep on attacking Akin until the election?
We don’t need any left wing propaganda shills, evidently. Stupid Republicans are determined to jump on board the propaganda train the left wingers started, and drive it all the way back to the terminal for them. Free of charge, no questions asked.
Good post, thank you. Someone who gets it!
Politicians who I enthusiastically support *must* have:
Now I'll agree that *all* politicians stick their foot in their mouth once in awhile.
But in Akin's case, he shoved BOTH feet in his mouth, they exploded, and they're still stuck in there and on fire.
And no matter how much you try to take the finger of blame away from Akin and point it to the drive-bys, to other lefties, to "Stupid Republicans," and last but not least, to the exponentially increasing number of who you tar as "so-called conservatives" like Rush and Hannity and Coulter and every active or retired Missouri GOP office-holder and a plurality (and likely majority) of your fellow Freepers, well ...... it just ain't working. Akin scr***d the pooch all on his own.
"keep on attacking Akin until the election"
Bogus. Straw man. How many conservatives would do that? They asked him to step down before this week's deadline. Now they're asking him to step down ASAP. If he's still on the ballot after 9/25, he literally can NOT step down any more, and so conservatives will support him as best we can, even though his odds of winning will likely STILL be the same odds as a snowball in Liberal Nirvana.
