“...it was like the ramblings of a mental patient.”

Easy now. I suspect there’s a lot of mental patients who would hate to be ranked on the same level as Todd Akin.

Like I just posted, it’s up to MO voters to vote HER OUT! She’s an unconscionable witch.

This Akin has a lot of personal handshaking and rehabilitating to do.

I’m not in MO, so I can only pray for him and I will.

It's Romney's RINO wing that is hellbent on driving conservative values out of the party

Could you please provide me a list of non-RINO (non-democrats) candidates standing behind Mr. Akin?

I'd love to see your list of those conservative supporters.

In substance, Todd Akin is saying, "I paid for this microphone" by winning the primary.

He's a fighter. He will beat the MSM, he will win this election and he will win it with near-unanimous party support. People just need a little time to straighten out their thinking.

But when push comes to shove, I’ll vote for the R behind the name - even if the candidate is intolerable.

For crying out loud, Akin is not intolerable. His voting record is exactly what we need more of. He stood up to his own party when they went for big-government programs and idiocy like the military-cutting sequestration budget. He's 97% conservative. Letting one gaffe define a candidate is exactly what the liberal media tries to do to all of our candidates, Palin for example. It's utterly and totally shocking that so many on FR would fall for it.

I demand HuckaberryHound start giving and giving most generously... All tithes from now to November must be sent to Akin! Come on Akin supporters you got what you wanted, so stop itching about how mean the GOP-e is, and start begging for money.

I cannot defend Akin anymore than I can defend any political hack from either party who has spent six elected terms to national office.

If someone's a consistent conservative, I would prefer to see them reelected again and again. Term limits are just stupid. And 6 2-year-terms isn't exactly a lifetime anyway. That's about the minimum I'd like to see before someone moves from the House to run for Senate.

have in common? They all have endorsed Mitt Romney and are actively working to see him elected. Why don't you?

Point of the tagline is that they're likely to give exciting speeches that would energize the conservative base, yet not a one was given a slot at the convention. I've already said I'm voting Romney/Ryan unless a 3rd party makes it into the debates. But if "actively working" for him means lying about him and pretending he's a good candidate, I will never do that. Lying to one's self or to others never has good results.

Romney's a very slightly lesser evil than Obama. He'll pass the Keystone Pipeline but there's not much else I care about that I trust him to do differently than Obama.

Isn’t amazing that the vast majority of freezers think Akin is a raving lunatic that has hurt the conservative and pro life movements.
Yet, he and his zealots think that the far less conservative general public will support him.
Maybe there should not only be voter ID cards, but voter IQ tests.

I'd love to see your list of those conservative supporters.

I know about Mike Huckabee, Steve Deace, Mike Gallagher and Steve King. Of course just because the majority thinks something doesn't make them right.

King told KMEG-TV Monday that “this election should be about, how did Todd Akin vote and what did he vote for and what did he stand for,” and praised his fellow congressman as “a strong Christian man, with a wonderful family.”

Yes, maybe if ketamine is put in Missouri’s water supply people may come around. Or if everyone gets a frontal lobotomy.

I'm from the conservative group that planned to put in conservatives to control the Senate and House so that a RINO like Romney would not have free rein over the government.

The Akinites are part of the group who wants Obama re-elected to teach the GOP Establishment a lesson.

In a nutshell, their goal (whether they know it or not) is to make ObamaCare permanent and make his infanticide the law of the land.

Perhaps it's their version of fast and furious only instead of guns it's abortion clinics and instead of Mexicans it's American babies.

After that step they can hold up the graphic evidence and prove that they were right"

Always remember, the extremists on both sides end up meeting at some point.

Interesting, I did not know Huckabee was running for office. What's Mike Gallagher running for? And Steve Deace and Steve King... they up for re-election?

I asked for CANDIDATES not talkers. Heck, you should have added a few names from Free Republic if that's the best you can do.

Candidates who are non-RHINOs.

“He’s staying. Either support him or help Obama. Thats what the ABOs said about Romney and now it applies here. No difference.....”
*******************************************************************
“Either support him or help Obama.”? Are you out of your mind? Those aren’t our choices.

“No difference”? Sorry Norm, there is a major league difference. There are an abundance of DESERVING conservative Republican Senatorial candidates (WHO CAN WIN AND WHO ARE NOT SHOOTING THEMSELVES IN THE FOOT) who I and other dedicated conservatives can support with our limited time and funds.

Josh Mandel in Ohio,
Ted Cruz in Texas,
Rick Berg in North Dakota,
Jeff Flake in Arizona
Deb Fischer in Nebraska,
Richard Mourdock in Indiana
Denny Rehberg in Montana
Pete Hoekstra in Michigan

and, depending on how things go, possibly:
George Allen in Virginia and others can be added to the list.
