Todd Akin was not a Tea Party candidate he was a stubborn idiot though.
I don’t think I said that Todd Aikin was a Tea Party candidate.
Correct!! There were two other candidates that were more "tea partiers", although as a congressmen Akin was a good conservative. He was encourage to run for Senate by party people. As soon as he made his comments, the dropped him hard and blamed the tea party for nominating him.
From what I’ve read Todd Aiken was a good man who served us well in Congress for many years. Does one misstep so taint a worthy career that we simply abandon him? Does the feminist lobby always rule? The msm went after him, and the “conservatives” stood by and watched. The poor candidate line, that’s what the msm pushed. We’re the gutless ones. Democrats lie, cheat, steal, and whatever and still get elected. The problem is not Todd Aiken. The problem is us.
