Priebus: GOP ‘Not Going to Play in MO with Todd Akin’ (No RNC Money for Akin)
National Review ^

Posted on 09/23/2012 1:41:37 PM PDT by Windy City Conservative

Reince Priebus expressed optimism this morning that Republicans could win the senate in 2012, but warned that the party would not get behind Todd Akin, even if he refused to exit the race.

“We’re not going to play in Missouri with Todd Akin, I can tell you that,” Priebus said on ABC’s This Week, adding that it remained “to be seen whether he stays in or not.” The last day Akin can legally leave the race is Tuesday.

No money for Akin. Wow, so I guess Akin is an Independent Republican. Priebus is a terrible top dog for the GOP, and I think after this election; an effort must be lead to deep six Priebus, Boehner and House Leadership, and Mitch McConnell. Romney might do better in the polls if he included supporting deep sixing Boehner as a campaign promise.

If he wins, he will obviously get his revenge. He may even caucus with the Democrats if he’s the swing.

If we lose the Senate because of this, there WILL be consequences. You’re talking about possibly deep sixing the repeal of Obamacare, etc. Party before country .... bunch of traitors, all of ‘em.

Good. Waste of money. Akin stands NO chance. Put the money elsewhere where we have a Senate pickup shot.

Akin is not going to caucus with the Dems; but he might join up in the formation of the 3rd Party many of us are seeing as increasingly necessary, as the GOP becomes more and more morally corrupt under the horrendous leadership of Boehner and professional fundraisers and consultants.

“We’re not going to play in Missouri with Todd Akin, I can tell you that,” Priebus said

Well, Claire isn't so bad after all...

Remind us again, in at least one paragraph, why Akin stands NO CHANCE. Let’s see if you can be convincing.

Renice Priebus is not a Conservative

If the GOP does not take the Senate and the White House, the blame starts with him

Absolutely stupid to not fund a candidate because liberals got their panties in a wad over a comment...which Akin has repeatedly apologized for...

...Well actually the real reason for not supporting Akin is that he is a strong Social Conservative..and Renice does not like those conservatives

Why would anyone want to be a politician if their whole career can be ended by one slip of the tongue? It shows how the whole political system has gone down the toilet, that there is no discussion of the actual issues but only verbal stumbles, hidden microphone splice & dice tapes, ...

He’s too good a man to vote with the ‘Rats. And as to revenge: Rom 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

It will be satiSfaction enough when God gives him a nice victory, and when the day rolls around that the Rs come around with hat in hand, asking for his vote on an issue.

The ‘Rats are baby killers! Akin got INTO this whole swamp by trying to make a pro-life argument....based on info that ONCE WAS TAUGHT IN NURSING SCHOOL!

But for liberal Republicans (Snowe, Collins, Brown) they will pour generous amounts of cash out of their horn of plenty.

No, ALL educated people were disgusted with his comments, and he can apologize , but he meant what he said . Let him condemn the whole concept of the magic uterus and all the toothless hillbillies that believe it.
