"Akin is the Tea Party guy."

Akin is not the Tea Party guy. He's the social conservative guy.

In 1984 he earned a Master of Divinity degree at Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis

Akin is an outspoken opponent of abortion in all cases, including health reasons or in cases of rape or incest.

He opposes embryonic stem cell research.

He earned a 96% rating from the American Conservative Union in 2008, and 100% in 2007.

Akin is an advocate of a federal prohibition of online poker. In 2006, he co-sponsored H.R. 4411, the Goodlatte-Leach Internet Gambling Prohibition Act, and H.R. 4777, the Internet Gambling Prohibition Act.
