what a selfish choice he made.

[albie]

This also takes the starch out of the Biden “back in chains” comments.

what a selfish choice he made.

What is selfish is Romney and his pitiful supports piling on Akin and making it harder, if not impossible, for him to win.

Romney and his ilk are a cancer.

[jboot]

I guess his pride was more important than his state or the nation. Now we will get to hear about this “legitimate rape” sh*t all the way to November. I wonder how many downticket candidates and candidates in other states this jerk just did in with his big mouth?

[aruanan]

what a selfish choice he made.

Geez, don't think much, huh? Those who wouldn't vote for him because they are liberal Democrats still won't vote for him, so that makes no difference at all. And Republicans who won't vote for him--well, let's just say that there are Republicans who are a bit challenged when it comes to defending their interests in a tight race for big stakes. They need to grow a pair and enter the fray. Many Democrats have said far more egregious things than this possible misstatement of medical fact. The only reason it "resonates" is because it's attacking the sacrament of liberalism: child sacrifice via abortion.

"what a selfish choice he made."

Akin has put himself first and he will take down other Republican candidates as well. He has given the Democrats a golden gift to restart the war on women meme and we will see it in the polls. Economy? What economy? Now we get to talk about a self inflicted GOP wound. The state GOP needs to haul him into aback room and tell him just how alone he is going to be, but more likely, the bleeding will continue and not only will McCaskill benefit, but other Democrats in close races.

"I'm not a quitter," Akin said.

Well then, Mister Akin, perhaps we can find a (legal and humane, mind you) way to "quit" for you.

Since you choose to pull us conservatives into the quicksand with you, please be advised that you now have fewer friends and allies than Larry Craig.

No, this won't "blow over".

Your political career is in the (metaphorical) wood chipper. It's gone.

Man up and hit the road.

[comebacknewt]

Agreed.

He has screwed us out of a seat we should have easily won.

He is not going to win this. Period.

[Jacquerie]

Ya’ll can join the rats and the usual GOP circular firing squad.

I refuse.
