The Republican nominee would not be down by 2 if Todd Akin had acted appropriately and stepped aside rather than in the interests of his own ego.
It does not appear the GOP will capture the senate.
Sez you.
And the very reason the corrupt McCaskill will get beat by Akin in 7 days.
So what!!!!! Our own Republicans shot him down as much as the rats. Great thinking for such a small stupid remark. I have never seen so many totally ignorant stupid in the party as we have. Numb nuts, most of them. Why do you think we lose so much to lying rat faces.
Stepping aside would have been the wrong move and would have almost guaranteed a Dem victory.
I stand with Akin. And I appreciate Gingrich’s support for him, too.
“It does not appear the GOP will capture the senate.”
And the GOP establish and your ilk are responsible...NOT Todd Akin. Besides...you don’t vote in Missouri....so what you think is really irrelevant.
Romney had to disown him. No choice. He needs the independents, and wealthy contributors really look askance at this kind of thing. At the same time, elements of the GOP needs to quietly back Akin - it looks like a squeaker than he can win.
beyond that....I'll bet Akin has taken in quite a bit of cash just from we individuals...
That's good news.
Yeh he'd be down by 10 and more because the Missouri electorate would not support a candidate that they believe was chosen in some backroom deal by party bosses.
Those who just plain don't like Todd for various reasons. You don't have a clue what is about to happen to this country. We are facing the most evil administration in all history that if reelected and keeps control of the senate, will have the ability to turn this country into a full blown socialist and possibly communist republic. Do you really think that not voting for Todd and allowing the very possibility of letting the dems keep the senate is worth that? Even if Mitt wins, he needs the senate to defeat Obamacare and all the other evil legislation that Obama has sneaked through during the past 4 years.
Heres the bottom line this November:
If you want Obamacare repealed, you have to support Akin.
If you are against sex selection and partial birth abortion, you have to support Akin.
If you want to continue to keep and bear arms, you have to support Akin.
If you want two to four new Supreme Court judges who believe in the parts of the Constitution that are inconvenient to liberals, and who wont find hidden new provisions that miraculously support the liberal agenda, you have to support Akin.
Akin voted against the stimulous; voted to repeal Obamacare 30 times; A rating with the National Rifle Association; 100% pro-life; 100% from the American Conservative Union; voted against cash for clunkers; voted against the Wall St Bailout. STARK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SCARE MCCACKLES AND TODD AKIN! DO NOT FALL FOR THE MEDIA HYPE...SUPPORT A TRUE CONSERVATIVE THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR OUR COUNTRY'S FUTURE.
Faith and prayer are more powerful than empty and negative rhetoric. We are in a war against evil right now and we are in it to win. Keep the faith my FRiends.

GO AKIN!
COME ON BIG MO!
Vote AKIN!
Second, if he had stepped down, the GOPe would have replaced him with the candidate of THEIR choosing - not necessarily the person who finished second in the primary.
And third, whoever the GOPe chose to run in Todd's place would not have received votes from many of his supporters (myself included) who wanted him to stay in the race because a) he won, and b) of his long-standing principles and conservative voting record.
Why do conservatives always circle the firing squads on our own? When will we learn to forgive and learn from past mistakes, and move forward into the future? I fear the 2012 election is our last chance to get that right.
Todd Akin for US Senate!!!
Just donated.
Me, too!
I guess your statement makes me a "Me-Too" Republican after all.
