Akin gathering steam in race

It angers me to see the barrage of despicable, misleading TV ads against Todd Akin that are being aired by the McCaskill campaign. She ran an ad where a man claimed that he has a son and a son-in-law in the Marines and said that he doesn’t think he can trust Todd Akin to care for them when they get out.

Akin served in the Army and he has three sons who served overseas with the Marines. And the goofy guy doesn’t trust Akin to care for his boys? I’d definitely trust Todd Akin before I’d trust Claire McCaskill, Obama’s lap dog.

Katiedidit1 posted a great Akin ad of REAL veterans who support Akin.

We all need to go to McCaskill and Akin’s facebook sites and fight the trolls. I honestly believe I converted a McCaskill supporter due to a post I made on Obamacare.
Have to fight them in their own backyards.

Got a recorded call from Ashcroft and his wife...supporting Akin. Everyone waited so late to get onboard

Another lie by McCaskill in regards to the veterans..

McCaskill has made at least two specific accusations. Both are baseless.

Accusation #1: “In 2005, Todd Akin Opposed Additional Job Training Assistance for Veterans Returning from Overseas”

The Truth: The vote in question was a “motion to recommit” which is a procedural vote used to kill the bill. If this Democratic motion had passed, it would have killed the whole bill, bringing down all of the Job Training Improvement Act of 2005 (H.R. 27). This vote was a political stunt, not serious legislation. Every Republican voted against it, including the Chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee. Even worse, the Job Training Improvement Act of 2005 contained significant resources specifically for veterans workforce investment programs, so voting for this amendment to kill the bill was a vote to keep veterans from receiving job training.

Accusation #2: “In 2005, Todd Akin Opposed $50 Million Increase for Military Transitional Job Training”

The Truth: Once again, this amendment was a “motion to recommit” which is a procedural vote to kill the bill. If this amendment had passed, it would have killed the bill and directly prevented adequate funding from reaching our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Only two Republicans voted for this motion to recommit, both of whom were openly anti-war. Rep. Jack Murtha, the top Democrat on the Defense Appropriations Committee also voted NO on this amendment. The very next vote, to pass the underlying Iraq funding bill, passed with overwhelming bipartisan support, 388-43. The final version of this bill passed 100-0 in the Senate.

Jonathan Dine is running for MO senate as a libertarian..he is a felon...check this out..So, who is Jonathan Dine? For starters, he’s a convicted felon whom Missouri law would bar from the ballot in any state or local contest. (State law may not add additional qualifications (like not being a felon) for candidates for federal office over and above the bare requirements provided in the U.S. Constitution.) In addition to convictions for possession of marijuana (kind of a badge of honor for a Libertarian) and driving while intoxicated, Dine also has a 2005 conviction for identity theft. He favors gay marriage and drug decriminalization, while opposing U.S. “interventionist” foreign policy.

So, let’s get this straight. A set of mostly conservative voters who overwhelmingly and equally (67%) disapprove of both McCaskill and Akin are resolving their conflict by voting for a convicted identity thief who favors gay marriage, drug legalization and a foreign policy the Green Party could endorse?
